Well, they are... and it's not just games.
Look at the Wave Bird Controller... Oh how i'm gonna have so much fun changing to my brothers frequency and crashing him into a wall or jumping him off a cliff!
And what about the graphics in Luigi's Mansion - Top stuff! It takes guts to go all out are try to make a top quality game.... with the ever increasing pressure building up on developers for fancy graphics to accompany the games' varied gameplay, some developers can't 'cut it'... but Shigsy's blade is sharper than a proffessor in play school -he is the man.
And I know how you PS2 and X-Box boys and Bonus complain saying... "Oh, Shigsy is the only decent guy there!..."
Wrong! Rare are there too and they're Nintendo through and through - in fact Nintendo OWN Rare.
Also, look at the Gamecube.... hardly well endowed with fancy features and trimings! But was Arnold Schzwzazrzzzeznzeggzezr? No, he's an ugly git, but still, he's kick many peoples butt's over the years! The Gamecube is just a MONSTER! biding his time until.. Bam!! He eats the defenseless victim, like a cat does to a mouse on Mrs Tipkiptonson's patio!
Nintendo is the epitome of Innovation... sure Sony have GT2.5 and Red Faction, but racing in a car and blowing up stuff is hardly anything new!
Ever controlled flower thingys to find parts of your GT3 car? No, but Nintendo fans will get to control flower thingys to find their spaceship! Spaceships are much better than cars anyway... I mean Apollo 13... could be a car! Was it? No! Button Moon... they could have had a car-like buggy! Did they? No! A spaceship!
And what's this.. The Bouncer.... the only thing that game did was bounce itself out of the charts! SSB: Melee will show the world how a side-scrolling beat 'em up should play!
And don't think for ONE SECOND that the PS2 has an alternative for StarFox Adventures -that will be the best game of 2002 without a doubt, unless Perfect dark 2 (RThe MGS2 beater!) comes out!
You see Nintendo are all about bringing imagination to life... Sony are all about putting JoKES on CD's and pawning them off as games! There hasn't been anything groud-breaking on the pS2 as of yet... Red Faction is just another shooter! GT3 was Gt2 with 3D back-grounds... (And you thgouht Ninties didn't know what they were!) Onimusha is just a old version of resident evil where you have to save a chinese bird!
Ive strayed from the subject which i'll now change from Nintendo the Innovators to 'Take that PlayStation!
People will soon (1 month) realise that Nintendo offer good, fun to play, funny, graphically ound, and cool games much easier than Playstation...
Most PS2 owners have the console for a fancy DVD player (than can play the odd BBB title when it comes out!) The PS2 is a dying cause... it was a mere bridge between the Dreamcast/PSX/N64 to the Gamecube, or maybe X-Box... there are muchy better consoles available today for a much lower price. Dreamcast, N64, PSX (and GBA) PS2 just can't cut it! I'm not being biased it's true... the PS2 struggles to persuade the sensible gamer! Does this mean all PS2 owners are thick? Maybe.

Game: Off on a rant...
Excuse the spelling mistakes.. I can't be bothered to check it!

Ant, mate, don't let them get you worked up!
I'm going to have to disagree with you here.
The N64 was great. Nintendo did a great job with ALL of the games they released for it.
Trouble was they didn't attract the 3rd parties, simply because of the cartridge format.
As a result, it didn't sell that well here.
In the USA, they can't believe that people think of the N64 as a flop.

Thank you Gohan, at least someone knows what they're talking about on here...
Turbonutter, it was WaveRace, not Pikmin.
Ant, like what ever you want. :-)
People, if I could only have one console, which is most likely the case, it will be the GAMECUBE for a simple reason.
It will have Nintendo games on it.
If you like Nintendo games, buy one. If you don't wait to see who else is developing for it, chances are there will be some games you like, but if there aren't enough to justify buying the GAMECUBE then don't. There's no need to make a big thing of it. I haven't bought a PS2, but I don't see the need to sing about it, and learn a little dance, with moves and stuff, that the fat one can't do, I just accept that another console is the one for me.
Go on, buy me a Playstation2. I won't mind, I'll play some games, have some fun, still buy a 'CUBE though because I like the look of the games.
Remember kids, there will be NO winner, just losers, and you know who those losers are going to be? Those of you too blind to see good games (On any platform) because they're not Gario, Mario's third cousin, or Nan Turismo. Find good games, play them, have fun. The consoles only a bunch of bits inside a chunk of plastic anyway, think of the games, not the logos.

I'll tell you why they hate Sony, because they're better than Nintendo!
Nintendo were having an easy life, especially with the release of the Saturn, but then along came Sony with their PSX and WHAM!!

I completely agree with you Ant, it is down to opinion. Some people just don't like it when others have different opinions.

I have only just read the original post, so here is my reply.
I am not a Sony fan, or a Nintendo fan or a fan of any particular company or console, but the topic is pretty biased, basically saying that the PS2 is inferior to the Gamecube, a console that isn't even out yet.
Now then, I do like Nintendo, and I have absolutely no doubt that they will bring out a good console, but the PS2 is also a good console, and, although some people may not like too admit it, it does have some really class games out on it.
Each console will have it's own exclusive and brilliant games, and it is always inevitable that games will be compared to those on other consoles. But, I say once again, you can't compare games that you haven't played yet. Perfect Dark 2 could very well be a MGS2 beater, but that doesn't make MGS2 a bad game.
I may be heading for a spamming here, but this is my opinion.

LOL I thought of saying the exact same take that joke before I read the topic. Dam you:)
The GC launched with Pikmin, Luigi's Mansion and Super Monkey Ball in Japan. Projected figures suggest it may just sell out, because there are 520,000 consoles and they predict 515,000 will but it. It sold 320,000 on the first day. However, the PS2 sold 980,000 in the first 2 days, which was its full quota. Pre-order figure suggest it would have sold way, way more than that if the units had been available.
Cor! A Take That Playstation?
Does it have pictures of Gary, MArk, Robbie, Howard and Jason on it?
Does it play all of their songs?
Sounds great!
I did read this post. Honest.
