"Was This A Good Deal?"

I've paid £75 + £10 postage for a Black Gamecube (boxed), official memory card boxed (both supposedly new), Super Monkey Ball 2 and Star Wars Rogue Squadron 3 Rebel Strike. Yeah, I know that the Star Wars game got mixed reviews but I'm a Star Wars fan and if I tolerated the Episode 1 games this should be no problem. I checked the average for both games selling seperately on eBay and both seem to reach around £20ish so I think that £75 for the lot was a good price? buying new was out of the question because I have a budget of about £130 to spend and that would have not bought a great deal of new stuff. I already have a Zelda Collector's edition disc as well...:D

Anyway, my Nintendo knowledge (apart from the fact this will be my third Gamecube - don't ask) comes from the new issue of NOM which I was sad to find has no A-Z of reviews of past games.

Hence if any one has some suggestions for good games, other than Zelda (which I'm going to get) then I'd be interested to hear them.

Also feel free to give me an ear bashing about the my criticism of Nintendo, though I still think they need a serious marketing rethink the desire to play Skies Of Arcadia and Ikaruga without paying a small fortune for them on my Dreamcast has over ridden that. Plus having seen a review of Crystal Chronicles there could well be some hat eating activity from me soon.

I died once, before I knew how to roll on the first boss. Stupid, really.

Yeah, I didn't die ONCE in The Wind Waker.

Sunshine the most boring game you've ever played? I may not be it's biggest fan, but come on, it's still a great game. Did you have to collect the blue coins? Nope, I didn't bother and I'm sure many others couldn't be bothered with it; Wind Waker can be slow in places, but it's still a work of genius.

As for F-Zero, while it's a great game, you'd be better off with 1080, Viewtiful Joe, Mario Kart or Zelda.

Zelda was far too easy, i did'nt even die, and believe me i usually do die in games(alot).
Can you honestly say that Hotel level in mario was good?

Zelda is fantastic.

Sunshine is tres bien.

Mario sunshine was the most boring piece of gaming i have played.
The water pack is not inovative and is just repetetive.
And trying to make the game double the size by collecting blue coins for stars makes us gamers look stupid.

Same for Zelda wind waker, by placing the islands miles apart with pointless sea makes you think the game is bigger, worth a play though.

F-Zero GX.

No doubt about it.

I've been here long enough and established enough relationships to have a weighty opinion.

Well fair enough...

That's not true, if I didn't think their games were the best I wouldn't buy their console so naturally I'll find them fantastic but I think you'll find I'm not the only person who things MK:DD is the bees knees.

I worship everything the do, do I?

The worst Gamecube game I own is Doshin the Giant, utter toss... oh and a Nintendo game.

I'm not sure your opinions on Nintendo stuff carry much weight around here Dringo, you worship everything they do.

Belldandy is not a muliplaying person, so MK:DD would be a daft purchase.
