I've been reading through a load of issues of N64 Mag and other stuff and my own knmowledge of GameCube to make up a list of GameCubes bad points.

1. It's purple. T.V's are always black or silver. Not a nice combination.

2. The infrared controller without a wire, the one they call Wavebird is great to use, untilyour dog goes and sits right in front of the console!

3. It's too small. What do I fill the gap in my cabinet with?

4. err.....

5. hmmm...

Yes there are sequels, but these are Nintendo sequels not Sony sequels. Look at the massive way in which Mario 4 differed to Mario 64 it was practically a new game. Where as u look at Sony sequels and what do u get the same old game with new graphics few sparkly new options screens and a couple of new gameplay features. You only have to look as far as GT2 and GT3 both very similiar games so much so that if it weren't for the graphics then there would be no major changes at all.

Its not sequels that are the problems its the ammount we recieve about 15 years has seen 8 Zelda titles.

5 years has seen 5 Tomb raiders.

See what we are getting at.

Time and effort makes the sequel worth purchasing!

Of course. And you lot blame the PS2 for being full of sequels, but there have been Mario and Zelda games on every Nintendo console since the NES!

Hypocrites.

Spray it whatever colour you want.

My PS2 looks very sleek and stylish. I wouldn't dream of getting another colour or putting stickers on it.

Having said that, I do have my lucky fluffy ball thing with the sticky feat and the stick-on eyes. Do you know what I mean? You usually get them as freebies and they have a long tail that usually saiys something like "Yorkshire cancer fund) or something like that. Anyway, I have one of those stuck on the top of it. But that's it.
