Well one way might be to say something that I'm about to say...

I'm thinking of picking up a GC as soon as tomorrow.
A couple that haven't stopped breathing might now be thinking "why the change of heart ?"

The most obvious reason is that I have flu right now so chances are its the words of a sick bloke ranting.

The other is that I've been laying in bed thinking back to games I played such as Metroid and Zelda and how there are times I'd like to play them again (but of course in they're new forms). Afterall, at the end of the day I am a gamer, not a fanboy and I've grown up with Nintendo games.

I might also look into a Gameboy Advance SP towards the end of the month with some of the classic Snes games that are out or coming out.

If I get a GC, this is what I'm thinking of grabbing...
Black GC
Extra controller (black of course)
Resident Evil
Resident Evil Zero
Mario Sunshine
Advanced scart lead (for best pic and sound quality)

Then of course I'll pick up Metroid Prime and Zelda as they come out. Don't need a memory card as I have the one from when I had the GC before. Anyway, thats the current thing going through my head.
Blame my credit card taunting me while I'm ill for this happening.
Right, well I'm off to ponder more on this and decide on how I'm going to pay for it all if I decide to go shopping tomorrow.

Mario Kart is the ultimate racing game - hands down.

I was always toad when I was about 6, but now I have progressed onto Yoshi and Luigi.

I ruled at multiplayer on that game - I could be 3 baloons to 1 down and still win. Then again, most of the time I was playing people who were very crap at games.

Racing games are my favourite genre of gaming. Mainly because my major interest is cars, Mainly modyfied motors, i'm not a big fan of ferraris/porches ect.

When I turn 17 I look forward to driving, But in the meantime, Gamin will have to do, Project Gotham Racing on the Xbox is amazingly realistic and fun at the same time!

I suppose everyone has different tastes in games I guess, I'm not a very big fan of Beat em ups like Tekken.

Although, I did buy SSBM today, I suppose thats classed as a kind of beat em up...

Most realistic sports/racing games are boring I find.

Only one that I can think of now is F-Zero, but I still prefer Mario Kart.

Yup. ;-) I think the realistic boxing sims tend to be boring. I've enjoyed Punch Out and Ready 2 Rumble a lot more. :-)

pffttt

Kinniku Man is the best wrestling game ever. It's the crazy Japanese wrestling game I was tlaking about a while ago, I have the demo on a Japanese Zelda bonus disc.


Seriously, it's going to wipe the floor with any other wrestling game. Thankgod it's being translated for a Us release so I cna import it for my Q, hope fully it will be released in Europe too.
