"Good things come in small packages"

Nintendo are big so why do they create so small? Come on there must be something wrong if Microsoft can makes something so big only Bill Gates himself can fit it in his mansion come on look at the reacent and still to be released Nintendo stuff.

The GBA it is bigger than the GBC but you could of fooled me it is so tiny but look at the carts! I'm afraid i will lose it in my pocket and as Will Smith once said "can you hold this i'm afraid i might break it".

Look at the Gamecube! About the same size of 10 stacked up CD's, that is about the same size of my alarm clock! Nintendo like portable stuff especially with the handle but a home console that doesn't even come close to the huge size of the PS2 and X-box.

It is taller (only a bit) I know but it is still tiny. And don't say it is because of DVD the Gamecube DVD is just a little taller than the Gamecube! Proof Bigger isn't better and ood things come in small packages!

Is something this small capable of doing something so good, of course it is! And what effect does this have on the individual sales well the Japs love small things that is why they have already (basically) rejected the X-box!

I can no longer wait for the GC but when I get it
I will be worried i'm going to lose it in my pile of games and magazines.

Here's to a future of small things.

That Will Smith quote is perfect for the GBA - its's tiny, but its power will knock you off your feet.

Sorry, that was unclear if you havent watched MIB. The little thing is a tiny gun with a massive kickback.

yeah small may look good and compared to the PS2 and X-Box it is quite smaller, but they have made a sacrifice to do this. Using the smaller optical disks with less storage space than a normal DVD they could be making a mistake.

considering mario64 was only 32MB i'm sure nintendo will have no problem fitting large games on a 1500MB disc.

optical disc = less space, virtually non existant loading times, is still absolutley massive and few developers could fill it anyway, helps prevent pirecy, are cheaper!

I'm sticking with optical discs!

Oh for God's sake, for the last time: THE GAMECUBE HAS NO MORE GRAPHICAL POWER THAN THE PS2!!!!!!!

Nintendo aint stupid, they aint gonna make the same mistakes they made with using the cart system.

Yeah but compare the graphics to games we have now. They will probably do really well but maybe there games wont be as complete as they would like.
