I dont know whether someone has already told you this so i apoligise in advanece if it has and im just repeating something.

The GameCube will now be alvaliable in 5 different colours! Thr colours will be Purple, Pink, black, gold and silver. They look really good, i think thr black one looks the best. At the moment we dont know which colours will be alvaliable in the UK launch but for the US launch they will have black and orange, so expect those colours and a few more.

Also there will be the wireless controller! It will be called the Wavebird. It looks really good, you can play your games up to 30 feet away! You plug the reciever into the controller port and it then uses radio frequencys to transmit the data. Also it will not be affected by people walking past the reciever!

All in all the GameCube is set to be great!

That may well be, but can Mario offer lightning quick, fast paced action like Sonic can? Mario's great 'n' all, but I'd rather sit down and feel the G-Spot, er I mean Force with Sonic the Hedgehog.

Maybe, but when it comes between the SNES and Mega Drive, I know which console I would rather have..............uh, the Mega Drive, seeing as I own one. Ahem.

Sonic the Hedgehog kicks Mario's fat Italian backside any day.

I dont think the playstation was successful because it was thought of as a fashion accessory, i think it was more because it had lots of games available for it, and piracy was rife in the consoles ranks, making games easily affordable.

As Edgy already said, the Mega Drive did just as good as, if not better than, the SNES. Plus the PlayStation, as I've said a million times before, only sells because it may as well be a fashion accessory. People buy it simply because it's made by Sony, who would never have got into the videogames business if it weren't for Nintendo. This is because the PlayStation originated as an add-on for the SNES. Edgy will already know this, but PSOne owners will now come from miles around to rant on about how I'm speaking out my backside, but I know that I'm right. Do your homework and you'll find just how right I am.

Definitely, Super Mario World and Super Mario Kart were both classics, perhaps a few of the best games ever made.
