Judging by that list if I still owned my Cube I would have bought Harvest Moon this year and that's it. Slow year? dried up snail paced more like.

> They weren't made by Nintendo...
Yeah but none of those games, to my knowledge, made an appearance on another console.
(I realise Twin Snakes didn't really, but porting a PSOne title onto Gamecube, giving it a touchup, and calling it a major release just isn't acceptable.)
Although I do think by the end of the year Nintendo's 2004 will have been superior.

I'm sorry Dringo but I find it a little hard to defend you here...
EDIT: Especially when you include the utter pap that is Kirby Air Ride in your arguement.
> What is it with people and wanting new things?
I'm not getting rid of my GC because of a poor release schedule, not that I've really bothered looking at any schedules in a while. A few of you will probably have realised that I've been losing interest in games, and I'm hardly ever on this site anymore, certainly nowhere near as much as I used to be anyway. I'm just getting rid of my Cube because I already have a PS2 and X-Box, and they're providing more than enough games for me now.
> Especially as half of them are third party games.
erm...so?
And what about Eyetoy? I'd hardly call that 'nothing special' for the PS2.
Especially as half of them are third party games.
Then again would you call: Prince of Persia, Beyond Good and Evil, Splinter CEll: Pandora Tommorrow, Phantasy Star Online Episode 3: Card Battles, Kirby's Air Ride, Mario Golf, Harvest Moon, R-Racing plus Pacman, Resident Evil: Code Veronica x, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, Pokemon Colloseum and Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles a slow year?
