ok we all know that everyone in here is ps1 and ps2 fanatics. I am going to ask u guys a difficult thing to do.
I want u guys to name decent things about the gamecube. Even though its not out here yet do you reckon it will challenge the ps2 for its crown?

That is true - but the mario games are not technicly sequels - They are all very different (Mario Tennis/party - completely different) BUT they are ALL good - Most of the PS games that are continued are absoloute rubbish.

Why do people continue to say the PS2 is full of sequels,especially when the gamecube is just another mario,mario kart,smash bros,zelda and bags more pokemon.

besides the launch "updates" I can't think of many sequels so if you've got nothing more interesting to say please go away.

YEs. Yes it is.

(wrenches 'crap talking' needle out of his arm)

HHHhHhHhAHflkf!!!!

REd Faction is better than Perfect Dark? Yes. Of course it is. Hmmm. That linear one minded game is so much better than that other linear game which has almost 20 times the amount of things to do and play with. Of course.


Perfect Dark is one f the best FPS ever made. What is Red Faction? An imitator to being great - Nothing new, nothing innovated!

You see there's a difference between Nintendo sequels and sequels on the Playstation. You may say that Mario 64 was a sequel. Well yes, but it was the only Mario game on the N64. Nintendo sequels are about 1 maybe 2 a console. Whereas on the Playstation say, you get a new Tomb Raider game EVERY year! That's my point!

that is just because on SR the GBA games dont get the same amount of discount as the PS2 games. Most PS2 games cost £40-£45 in the shops while GBA games cost £30-£35.

the chance of square taking the Final Fantasy series to GC exclusive is about as much as the dominican republic winning the world cup. square gets funding from Sony so unless they want to pay huge amounts of compensation to sony then i think they'll be staying put plus the bad terms they left on with nintendo over where FF7 was going just adds to the negative chances of FF appearing on GC

In reply to a much earlier Wookie Monster comment;

(2 years ago, in the Nintendo forum in a topic called Playsation 2)

: What will you have - another Metal Gear Solid, another Final Fantasy, another Ridge Racer, another Gran Turismo, another Crash Bandicoot, another Syphon Filter, another FIFA, etc etc etc.


My point is that although the Gamecube will have sequels, they, like (most of) the above games are very good, and are worth buying. I don't think anything the PS2 has so far or is promising to produce/d could match the expectation of playing an even sublimer version of Perfect Dark against 29 other people on the net, RCPs blazing!

GC + points - Nintendo games, + extra 3rd party support, sequels mixed with newer games (SSX etc etc) and Sega support, plus completely new titles.


(oh and, the only two good series above are FF and MGS - and FF may be on GC - I hope!)
