The people at Ninty have put something new into the GameCube! And guess what! It's to stop kids damaging the GameCube discs!

On the Playstation and Dreamcast, to take the disc out, you have to pull it. But on the GameCube they have added a special 'ejecter' button that lifts the disc up so it doesn't break. Hah! Who would be that clumsy?

If I am going to get a GC then zero will be one hell of a good reason to get one.

What do you think about ResEvilZero?

It looks fantastic, i mean everything resident evil is good to me but it'll be good to play through with the bravo team although it's obvious who survives because half of the B-team are in res 1, can't wait to try out the inventory system where you can just drop anything though.

I'm more exicited about CVX at the moment but can't wait for zero :)

Yeah two sticks is a good idea, but I for some reason can't stand the analog sticks on the Sony controller, there too stiff (don't take that the wrong way).

SNES had an ejector button, didn't it?

If it was such a good idea, why abandon it for the N64?

If though, it was a bad idea, why bring it back for the GC?

Anyone?

Yes, Sony adopted the rumble pack idea and made it into anolague sticks. This was a good idea but Nintendo made them think about it.

Sticking 2 analogue sticks isn't that innoative.

It was an advancement but nothing special.
All it was, was the N64's C-Buttons replaced with a stick.

A neat idea but hardly revolutionary.

er gasmask who thought up the dual analog sticks, sony, who's gona rip it off with their new consoles Nintendo and Microsoft.

i'm not getting at anyone but Nintendo did think up the rumble packs and analog stick and sega thought up having pressure sensitive triggers but the dual shock 2 just makes everything so much better and the ps2 is the only console using both analog sticks so perfectly like quake 3, timesplitters where one is your movement and one is your view, also in ape escape, freak out one is your movement and the other is your vacuum,weapon or whatever.
pure genius!!

Thats a pretty cool idea, after a night out with some mates which usually involves drinking and the lark trying to get out and put in for that matter a disk is quite hard. An ejector button is pretty cool. Its not copied from anyone else.

Not having a dig at Sony here but look, who invented rumble packs? Nintendo. Who copied them? Sony. Who invented the 3d stick? Nintendo. Who copied them? Every console after that, PS, Dreamcast and probaly X-BOX. What im trying to say is this, Nintendo invent new ideas, and then everyone copies them. Not many people see it as that way. Some think that Sony and Sega Adopted th idea, or they were going to do that anyway.

Yea of course you were!
