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 :-)

Why dontr we straighten this out. P...A...N...A....S...O...N...I...C. Use the name we are all used to and not the Japanese alter ego.
The Gamecube is looking very promising indeed. Nintendo have really got a great console on the their hands here and certainly has the potential to become the best console. It has several games set to come out for it that look very good, and I am looking forward to the new Perfect Dark because I loved the original.
But, I don't see the PS2 as a disappointment. OK, so the launch games weren't exactly brilliant, with only one or two 'must own' games. But now, there are some great games coming out for PS2, with much more variety and some of them look absolutely stunning, GT3 and MGS2 as two examples.
And the developers are now starting to get to grips with the PS2 hardware and will soon start churning out games that will be able compete with those of the Gamecube and the Xbox.
Let's not forget the Xbox. It's power can easily compare with that of the Gamecube, and essentially surpasses that power.
But, it's not the power of the console that will make it a success, it's the games. Each of the consoles: PS2, Xbox and Gamecube, has some great games heading for them, and it is these games that will essentially decide how successful the console will be. It will be a tough battle between the three consoles, but we'll just have to wait and see what happens when all of the consoles are finally available and not just one.

Where is everyone. It has been ages since I last talked to someone. Talked is what I mewan not just posted once or twice to. Had a conversation or a discussion. I would even have an arguement to keep my self from getting bored.
What a scum! What the hell do you think you are doing!
OK, broadband was mentioned so here are my thoughts on the PS2:
I, like a lot of people, access the net via an 0800 ISP, so I don't have to pay for my net time. Will I be able to use this with PS2? I think not. The PS2, as far as I am aware, will use an Ethernet connector, which means I will have to get a socket installed in my house. The thing is, I'm worried about the cost. Many people will have to get a connector installed, which will be £70 upwards. After that, there will probably be a monthly charge for the service. In the UK, we struggle for free dialup. How much is lightening
fast broadband going to cost?
The fact is, the market for PS2 is around 14-30 years olds. Anyone under 18 will probably not have the money, and neither will students. The latter might also be living in rented accommodation, where they can't have an Ethernet line installed. Also, you've got to think that in the UK, only cities can get broadband access.
I think the UK is not ready for broadband. The reason? BT. The solution? A world without BT. But then again, we may catch another glimpse of the famous Sony magic at work in the summer. Who knows? I hope we do.
