"Gamecube-The Unique Selling Points...."

Now before you start having a go at me for being a PS2 man, I can assure you that I never mouth off about any consoles without any reasoning....I am not here to argue about anything anyway.

I have been giving thought about getting a Gamecube towards the end of the year (maybe as a Christmas present). In my opinion having a PS2 and a Gamecube will be beneficial for me since I willbe able to play different types of games on both consoles.

Now since I know as much about the Gamecube as Claudio Ranieri about football, I would like you to let me in on some of the best games that will be out for Gamecube in the next year or so. Please dont mention games that are PS2 conversions.

And if you dont mind could you also say why in your opinion Gamecube is worth getting...

Thanks a lot.

I know, but why buy a multitap and 3 extra PS2 pads if you're getting a multiplayer based Gamecube.
Besides, the PS2 conversion might be lazy...

Yea, i have PSO on Dreamcast aswell, but 4-player split screen on Gamecube, will be great.

I cannot to get a Gamecube, it is my most wanted of the three next-gens. I might even get PSO on it, because even though I had it on the Dreamcast, it looks to have loads of new stuff

What, both of them?

Sega Soccer Slam looks quite interesting.
Think football + NBA Jam.

For more info see:

And of course there will be another good old ISS title.

The main ones I can think of are

1080 Snowboarding
Wave Race
WWF Wrestlemania 2002
Mario Kart (it is a sports game kinda)

There's a few Ice Hockey games coming out, a few goodlooking Basketball games coming out, the usual array of PLaystation 2 ports, ISS, a few racers.

There are quite a lot more I just can't remember them.

Ssuper monkey ball is coming to PS2 as well.

Nintendo is getting its fair of Sports titles, but i think a lot of them are just ports of PS2 games.

You will however find a different version of ISS on the Gamecube. Much more arcadey and fun in some ways. Also reading somewhere that they are incorparting some new ball movement techniques or somthin...anyway, this means that every goal you score will be different. Cool huh?

Perfect dark probably wont come out till 2004. sucks huh?

You also got Sonic adventure 2, which is meant to have some cool link up thingy with the GBA version.

Any significan sports titles?

Gasmask- head PR officer for Ninty since 1874

Sonic

If you've already got a PS2 then the Gamecube will suit well for four player titles like Smash Brothers, Mario Kart, Monkey Ball and Perfect Dark.

Also, keep out an eye out for the likes of Mario and Zelda and other Nintendo and Rare titles.

As for Metroid, the Snes version rules, but this GC version isn't looking very faithful...

It'll be a neat first person shooter but I don't think that it'll do it right.
