Do you think nintendo are boring? I mean, I own a Gamecube, an SP and yet I still feel that the games are relatively poor and extra hardware is Scarce. I personally think that they need new games and not just sequels or prequels. What do you guys think?

It still could change a little. E3 wasn't the final final model.

Ikaruga was a DC game for an eternity before it got a GC release, I hate the way GC fanatics keep spouting off about it as a cube exclusive. Ditto with Skies of Arcadia (and the music is awful in the GC version)

The lost Sega title for the Dreamcast has recently resurfaced, Propeller Arena (was cancelled after 9/11) and this just goes to show how much Sega kick the 'bum' of nintendo. The fact that Super Monkey Ball would have been a DC title had the console survived says a lot.

Well, Bleem away. I loved the PSX and not only do I think it's better than the Dreamcast, it's one of the best consoles I've ever owned.

Woah there - not once did I say it was rubbish. I made it quite explicit that even though it's the worst console I've played, it's still rather good.

I owned a N64 and thought games like Goldeneye, Legend of Zelda: OOT, Super Mario 64 etc. were all brilliant.

I've now got a gamecube and have played games such as Mario Sunshine, Windwaker and Super Monkey Ball. All were good games, but didn't last as long as the N64 games did.

I don't know whether I'm getting bored of games like this, or whether the games are rubbish. The only games which last me now are games like Need for Speed and the Fifa games.

Dreamcast was before its time. Before its time.

Also, it can't be the worst console you've ever played. If you think that the PSX was better then Bleem! my friends, Bleem!.

And frankly, saying that it was rubbish is disgusting. You disgust me.

Well, I personally find that there are more enjoyable games on any other console, that I've played for a suitable amount of time, than the Dreamcast.

I ain't saying it's bad - if it had survived, classic titles such as Skies of Arcadia, Ikaruga and Rez would still be exclusive, but that's no longer the case and so they can't be credited solely to the DC. But at the cheap price it is now, it's certainly worth the money.
