"Nintendo ---- Boring??"

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?

Yeah, that's what I mean - Gamestation had the console and, like, 3 games for 35 quid the other day, with pads and all, and that probably isn't the best deal that I'm likely to find.

Plus the fact that 'seaman' title that djerrud and such keep talking about seems to sound very interesting...

To be honest, games in general are boring me at the moment.
Yeah, E3 was fantastic - but it's all to the future. What's now?

Never liked the Dreamcast so much myself.

It's a good buy now, though, as you can get the hardware and games for next to nothing.

Everybody loved the Dreamcast, but the fact that piracy was rife kinda affected the console muchly.

Still, in the holidays, I plan to save up for a dreamcast, as they are muchos greatness, especially with crazy taci and all that jazz.

Has E3 just passed everyone by? How many times must I mention it?

Nintendo totally dominated that show, with the innovative and original DS, plus the announcement of Zelda and a wealth of new and interesting games on show for their three platforms. For the first time in a while I felt really excited about the future of the GameCube, and didn't think once about the N5.

I also own seventeen exclusive GameCube titles, plus the Zelda Collector's Edition disc and still have to buy Harvest Moon and Soul Calibur 2. Perhaps the N64 days where that bit more special, but the GameCube has provided me with far more different and fun games than either the Xbox or PS2.

Additionally, while I'm not the most avid GBA owner, I do know that the likes of Wario Ware and Mario & Luigi have been refreshingly excellent experiences, and the prospect of interesting future titles such as Mario vs. Donkey Kong is a further incentive to own one.

Nintendo are not boring, and the GameCube has certainly not had a scarce life.

I think the Gamecubes pretty broing actually. I like the Xbox much more becuase I actually find the games fun.

The best console to date and a console which still offers far more than any of the 3 latest attempts...

Don't you think?

They are less plentiful on the Gamecube but then Nintendo always had the smaller selection.

I find Mario Kart, Metroid Prime, Zelda, Sunshine, Resident Evil, 1080, Pikmin, Super Monkey Ball, Harvest Moon, Viewtiful Joe, Eternal Darkness, Twin Snakes, Crystal Chronicles, Rogue Leader, Super Smash Brothers, Animal Crossing, Eternal Darkness, F Zero GX and Wave Race to be a collection of fantastic software that really does the Gamecube proud. Confessingly I find that the X-box line-up, although different and with an even smaller ammount of AAA titles, a brilliant selection of games that gives Nintendo a right run for their money.

But they're still the best.

If you are referring to that absolutly awful Harvest Moon: Save the Homeland... then you are looking for a slap. Barley no interaction, awfully plain cel-shaded graphics and a game Harvest Moon fans wish to forget.

Oh and what's a Dreamcast?
