"Gamecube"

Well it seems there are plenty of people eagerly awaiting this console. So what 3 games are you waiting for on it the most ? :-)

My choices would be : Conker's 2
Rogue Squadron 2
Zelda

I think Nintendo have finally got the idea now. There are games on the way to suit everyone. I'm glad Perfect Dark is set to make a return too. The fighting in Zelda looks excellent, a lot more like a proper sword fight than games of its kind before it.

I think all Nintendo really need now is to sort things out with SquareSoft. If they manage to put the past behind them then Nintendo will have great powerhouse companies behind them in both SquareSoft and Rare. Plus of course they have many well known titles like the Mario and Pokemon series that will always sell. Lets hope we see Nintendo get back to where they were. I grew up on Nintendo consoles so I never want to see them end up like Sega.

I know Sega are far from dead because they are making what they are good at - games ! But Nintendo is a company that should be making consoles too because they are damn good at it. Its looking very bright for the Gamecube. I think this could possibly be down to the disappointment of the PS2. With Sega out of the console battle, this really leaves Microsoft to make an impression and it will be hard to repeat Sony's initial impact. Unless they accomplish this, I feel that the gaming public will stick to the brand they know.

Anyway, feel free to list your top 3 awaited Gamecube games :-)

Rogue Squadron 2
Wave Race
Star Fox Adventures!!!

Star Wars Indeed, the films are good the games are bad!

Just an opinion


Game

er...anything that Nintendo bring out for it...


Quickly starting to save money before the launch date...

You don't need to be a rocket scientist to see what the GameCube is capable of now.
Yes there will be Zelda, Smash Bros, Metroid, Star Fox Adv. etc however the huge plus point is that the GC could be internet ready and the broadband modems could be ready for the European launch!

So will online gaming be available? Who knows wait up for the GC in Spring 2001 it is one machine you cannot miss too often.
What launch titles you say? Well who knows that aswell!
Normally Nintendo release 2-3 games at launch but Nintendo is set to start off alot better releasing at least 10 games at least (not too many please it would be too much to offer!)
But of course the 4 player games will be a major selling point for Nintendo (Smash Brothers 2 mayhem!)but that's not all, oh yes a GC with a DVD player and games, PS2 anyone? But with better quality and Nintendo games?
I'm i kidding no, cos it's going to happen belive or not.
Let's hope Mitibushi get the quality of the DVD player right and not degrade the GC's graphics card and RAM!

Actually i do hope Sony get their online thing going and get some decent games released, i would actually love to play MG2 and GT3, they look like a great examples for the new Perfect Dark and future GC racing games.

That's it i think

Actually Time Warp, I think Nintendo are releasing the Gamecube a few days before the X-Box to add pressure on Microsoft ;-) That should worry Mr Gates a bit ;-))

Looking at the games lineup for both the Gamecube and the X-Box, I think Nintendo well ahead there. And with Nintendo and Rare both releasing excellent titles from release day, I think Microsoft will find it hard to get their foot in the door.

Yeah you're right savaat. GameCube's out in America on November 5th with X-Box coming out 3 days later on the 8th and for a $100 dearer.

I'm sorry, mate.

But you can't spell for s***e, and you're info is crap and wrong, and it something like Masushiti Not Mitsubish, or whatever you out....

An advance on the usual one-liners all the same...

Meh!

It's Mitibushi stupid!
