On the Nintendo front. It seems after a mad blast if sweet titles everything has suddenly died a painful death for the time being. E3 was decent but that doesn't make up for a lack of releases in the mean time. I have scanned through the titles to be released however all the main ones are the back end of this year with the possible exception ofPikmin2which will hopefully be brought forward.

Haven't played my Cube since completing Metal Gear: Twin Snakes with LIVE and Ninja Gaiden taking up most of the playing time. My current Cube collection is pretty much complete with very little to nothing else worth getting at the moment, possibly Mario Golf will be my next purchase when they finally release it this summer.

So if anyone can enlighten me on decent release in the meantime I would much oblige.

Cheers!

Alastair, I thought before that you had too much time and money on your hands, but, after this thread, it's basically confirmed my beliefs.

I wish I was you...

Got all the Resident Evil titles, played and finished several times.

Crystal Chronicles will be bought at some stage but it isn't a title I woud want to spend time on, certainly not with the current selection of game on all platforms on offer.

what about crstal chronicles? its a good laugh with or without mulitplayer. Im sure alot of people here will recomend it too...

Its got ingenius and original gameplay and the GBA connection isnt just a novelty, its vital when your playing with mates.

other than that I dont know what else to suggest. Possibly one of the re-released resi evil series would be a good choice. Im going to try and pick up a cheap copy of code veronica tomorrow...

Had it on the Dreamcast and completed it, have also finished the Cube version and have it in my collection already.

Ninja Gaiden

Full Spectrum Warrior
Rallisport Challenge 2
etc

A bit of a naff excuse, there are other games recently released or due for release very soon that are worthy of being in anyone's collection however very few seem to be appearing on the Cube.

The problem as well is that I own all the worthwhile games from the back catalogue.

I'm actually suprised at how many games are due out on Xbox in the next couple of months.

For me Gamecube hasn't actually had a good exclusive release for the whole of 2004 (well maybe Harvest Moon) and looks to continue this fashion until Pikmin 2 comes out.

If you desperately need something to fill in the gap up untill september time, i recomend skies of arcadia. If you even remotely like RPGs you will absolutely love it and with an average total gameplay time of 80 hours you cant really go wrong.

If youve already played that then i suggest completeing master quest on the windwakers bonus disk. It brings back great memories and the new dungeons ARE definately more challenging...

It is the Summer, what do you expect. Release schedules for the Xbox, PS2 and PC will all be much less full than usual as well.

Oh and you're all forgetting that Madden 2005 comes out in around 3 months. This is clearly the most important release this year.

Mario Golf is set for release on the 14th of June, Donkey Konga will sit somewhere around here...

There are also other titles like Splinter CEll and Rainbow Six 3 but I guess you'll have them for the X-box.

In September we have a slew of games due including Pikmin 2 and Animal Crossing...

Best to save your money or go to the Cube's back catalogue.
