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.

But.... the very point of the club... the women.... lapdancing... the tenner down the front of the bra...
The secret phonecalls, the unending stalking, the demands for sex again and again, they never stop.
THEY NEVER STOP!!!!
err...
*runs*
For some reason.
Great game, yet some of the stages arent as solid. Still, it's alot better. BUY BUY BUY.
The original monkey ball probably took a few years off my life, but for some reason I feel I must have SMB2 as well.
Monkey Ball 2 - I must have it.
Done.
Ugh, not long now and I guess I'll try a few more levels...
You actualy have to get better at a game to unlock things......
:D
Been playing Godzilla - not exactly the most brain taxing beat em up ever, but fun. Earned myself a couple of stages and monsters. ;-)
As for Monkeyball 2 - I'm having a rest at the moment, bloody game is so frustrating. I overlooked something when I bought it - the fact that the new decent mini games have to be earned. The only way to do this is to earn points by playing the main Story mode and christ does it drive me nuts. I'm getting to the annoying stages in the water area now and I'm just about halfway to earning my first minigame !
For those that don't know, the underwater world is the third world and each world has like 10 stages.
I just wanna play the mini games but I'm being forced to play through the main game to get them - ugh !
I hope I can at least choose the minigame I want instead of earning them in order so i can pick out the ones I really want.
Good game, but these games really frustrate me and I just wanna play the minigames overall.
