I am an extremely loyal gamecube owner and am appalled at PS2 and X-Box owners for saying our console is rubbish. I really enjoy playing my Gamecube and I feel it is really underestimated. Most people who insult Gamecube's have never even played one, and I know that those who have have enjoyed doing so. The good people at Special Reserve will agree with me that the console is not to be overlooked, especially as the price is dropping dramatically. But, however loyal I am, I am worried that my beloved console is becoming a little bit pointless in the eyes of the public, and that it is not good enough to battle alongside PS2 and X-Box.
Many people believe that the Gamecube is only for little kids, and that all Nintendo consoles are. The company are often referred to as "Ninty" and this just seems ridiculous to me. Yes, there are a lot of children's games and yes, Nintendo have their own line of characters, most of which are aimed more at young people. But, are we forgetting the games for older people that are available to all the consoles? By this, I mean ALL THE CONSOLES, not all of them except the Gamecube. We have Resident Evil, Splinter Cell. In fact, we have Soul Calibur 2, do all of you PS2 and X-Box owners have that? NO!
Gamecube owners, post a message here telling the other console owners just what you think! Tell them why you love your Gamecube, and let us see how many people we can get onto our side. Do it for the Gamecube!

I'm supporting both Microsoft and Nintendo.

My preference for Nintendo is still stronger than any other developer, but there are games on Xbox I want to play as well - therefore I do, instead of using my loyalty to another company get the better of me.

Considering I work in a shop which sells all the consoles, it would be stupid for me to let my loyalties take control.

PSO1&2 is hardly worth paying £7 per month for - and it is just one game that SEGA are allowing to be played on their servers.

A DVD player does not increase the game quality!!!!!!!

And if you want backwards compability buy the iQue-player.

Nintendo are BEAN HEADS. No DVD function, no backward compatibility, half DVD disks, no online compatibility. They need to do a little more market research.

Nintendo does not believe that the online feauture is a thing for the future, although they are aware about how much money the other companies earn on this feauture.
I think that the N5 will have many more games wich supports online playability.
Maybe Mario Kart and Mario party will have online networks?

PS2 and X-box go online. Gamecube goes online thanks to ANOTHER company. Gamecube isn't poo, Nintendo is.
