It is just me or is the Game cube and Nintendo as we know it going to be crushed by the X-Box. There is no hope in hell that it could compete. For years Nintendo has been producing consoles. Starting with the NES all the way to the Gamecube with Gamboys on the way. Their only fault is their quality of games. What's with all the cartoon game like Pokemon and Zelda. Nearly every game that is popular on the Nintendo has been cartoonified. Are computer cartoons taking over consoles?
This is where the X-Box takes over. Microsoft have no worry in launching their first console. Most of the games that will be released on the launch date has been released before on the PC and Playstation and have done well. The Playstation 2 managed to keep the cartoons away but it doesn't quite do it for me.
I have had and N64 since it first came out and through my time with it, i've found it quite hard to find a game with good, serious graphics. I want my game heroes to have names like Terminator and Razor. Not Pikachu and Conker. It's just like childrens TV nowadays too! Do you remember when you were little and you had your favourite cartoons. I remember MASK, Thundercats and He-Man. They all has giant robots, bad guys, fast cars and guns! What do they have nowadays? Furry little fluffballs with silly names. That includes the Teletubbies however cool Dipsie is! Erm...anyway if the Game Cubes is all cartoons and classic labels, I don't want to know about it.
New gaming ideas, less cartoonified games and violent children's TV programs is the idea that i leave you with. So if the Game Cube does turn out like every other Nintendo console, i advise you to "say no to Nintendo". I won't even mention Dreamcast but buy an X-Box!

Yet, the actual sources for you saying this over and over again are still......missing.
Yeah. I read them a few months/weeks ago and just took the information rather than note them down.
I'll be sure to note down the source, next time I get one, so you can see it for yourself.
Although having said that, the one from Yu Suzuki (maker of Shenmue kids!) did have a quote (might still be on www.tendobox.com) saying that the Gamecube "impressed him much, much more than the other two machines" (not word for word but same meaning, and the "much" WAS in there)
This means that the Gamecube is either much more powerful - impossible
Or a better system to code for - more likely!

Yu Suzuki: At this point I’m only thinking about Sony. I am gathering information on Gamecube and Xbox at the moment. Each one does have specific characteristics; they’re all very different.

You must read very interesting articles.

Or this quote
GIA: Why did you choose the PlayStation 2 for your first home conversion outside Sega?
YS: The main reason was it's available now. (laughter)
GIA: Have you examined the hardware for the GameCube and Xbox?
YS: Yes, I am gathering information on them. Each one does have specific characteristics that are very different, and can be used in many ways.

But still nothing saying, the GC is easier than anything else.

My source was from www.tendobox.com which might be biased towards a certain nintendo, it was a direct quote where they posted it word for word.
Anyway, he's thinking PS2 now because it's out here and now and the only machine available for gamers worldwide.
That doesn't mean that he isn't more impressed by the Gamecube though.

It's typical really.
Some silly geezer writes a biased Xbox post out of the blue and it sends us two into a console war.
It's no secret that you look for it though :-D

These quotes were taken just after E3 or after...
-Tatsuya (Capcom)
"One of the Capcom directors was also spotted during the exhibition. Mr. Tatsuya commented how easy and powerful the system was.
-Okada (Atlus)
Although Atlus did not have any software displayed at Spaceworld 2001, Atlus R&D director Mr. Okada attended the show to see some of the software other developers were working on. Okada confirms the system is very easy to develop for, and he is currently working on a secret project which can not be announced at this time. The title is hinted to be an RPG, but he could not divulge further details
-Yuji Naka
Famitsu: What are your impressions of GameCube?
Yuji Naka [Sonic Team]: Really easy to program. PSO was completed in about a month. This proves how easy it is to work with
Famitsu: Wow!
IGNcube: What would you say your favorite part of developing for GameCube is?
Naka-san: I think its stability as a system. It's very stable. Anything that's theoretically possible, we can execute it and it works
"if you're a fan of Sonic Team, I recommend that you buy a GameCube."

It's simple and easy to understand, everyone. The Nintendo Gamecube is the EASIEST console to develop for, without a doubt. Stop blabbering on about how the X-box is the easiest, because you can't be more wrong. In various articles from varying magazines, developers have said that it is indeed "tough and complex..." to work with and that the Gamecube is "easy to work with and will see developers finishing-off titles in record time".
Strafex is right, Capcom have devoted their highly sucessful Resident Evil series to Nintendo's little box o' tricks - because they were so impressed by it.
Also, in the latest N64 magazine, actually it's now NGC magazine, it says: "After the unveiling of the Gamecube, thousands of developers signed-up for Devi kits and were keen to make games for the Gamecube".
Enough said. The Gamecube will rule, the X-box will suffer and die a very slow, painful death - and the PS2 will come closely behind the Gamecube.
