Got it 2 weeks ago, great console!

But are there any decent games coming out for it this year?

Any decent exclusives?

Harvest Moon

I really want this game!
It sounds really interesting and by what you guy have been saying it sound like you have alot of choices to make like you do in The Sims, I know alot of people hate The Sims but I think the first one was okay.

Star Fox

I've got this game and I played it for the first time today, its great, the characters are cool, the controlling is cool etc. Why were some people dissapointed with it?

Mario Golf/Tennis

Why do they keep making Mario sport games?
I really dont see the point, you would only get a Tennis/Golf game if you liked Tennis/Golf so why would anyone get a Mario version of the sport when they could get a ore detailed Tennis/Golf game like Smash Court Tennis/Tiger Woods?

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicals

Who was it who said it is similar to Harvest Moon?
In what way is it similar?
It looks quite good, I've played FFX and liked it and this looks just as good, it also looks like FF7 because of the characters.

Official Memory Card 1019

Anyone else heard of this?
Its an Official Memory Card so it ain't no fake, does anyone know how much it is because im hoping to get one.

If you can, could you tell me what you think about these games.

Oh, quick question : How much does the Nintendo Gamecube Magazine cost?

Cheers!

NGC is £3.50, and far better than NOM. Get the latest issue out on Thursday, it'll be the July one.

Oh, and as for your little presentation of exclusives, where is Metroid Prime 2, Donkey Konga, Pikmin 2, Geist, Paper Mario 2...etc? Eh?

*feels picky*

Heh, sorry.
So what decent games are coming out this year?

I would get the mag but I have no money, i'll have to beg my mum and dad.

*begs mum and dad*

*fails*

I'll try again once they've calmed down, or I might ask my dad tommorow when he gets drunk before the Footie game...

;)

Mario Tennis is far more fun than any other tennis game I've played.

Thats the only thing i'm dissapointed about, the lack of a decent realistic Tennis game.

He has an Xbox. I think. And so, yes, I concur, get Top Spin for Xbox and Mario Tennis for GC. Sorted. No?

Try Viewtiful Joe, Ikaruga and Super Monkey Ball 2. Apart from Harvest Moon, those are the only GC games I've got and I'm more than happy with them, because they offer more than enough variety.

Yeah, I'm thinking of maybe getting a cheap PS2 for my Birthday in August.
I'll finally be able to get some of the older games I've been wanting for so long.
