What do you mean the N64 is dead? Just look at the games that they've released. Perfect Dark is still my most used game, and Zelda 2: Majora's Mask is definitely gonna be a hit. I'd rather be playing these games on an older console for a while instead of forking out £300 (or however much it is!) on a DVD player (which I have) which can play games like Tekken Tag Tournament (Tekken 3 ring any bells? Here's a clue: It's EXACTLY THE SAME GAME!) Sorry, that's just me!
You've actually made a good point there, but I very much doubt Nintendo will land tities up this time. Again.
yeah whatever. very interesting...
the gamecube,at the moment,wil not be released in japan until 'late 2001' that means that the actual release date for japan will be spring 2002 as these things always slip..and Europe will be lucky to get it for christmas 2002.Ok,maybe if the N64 still had some life in it..but it doesn't.The last games for the N64 will be released by the end of this year, and then nintendo will stop bothering.I personally do not want to wait 2 years watching as all my PS2 and dreamcast owning friends play there new games while I sit waiting for a machine that might well die within 6 months of being released anyway.
People should stop being so loyal and defensive of their favoured company sega,nintendo, etc.Do you really need to make excuses for a company that is supposed to be providing you with a product...it's no big deal but these company's are taking our money and we should expect a better return not endless waits and c***-ups so we're gratful when they release 1 miserable game.anyway...that's my bit said.

True, the gamecube is set for a later release date than the PS2. And true, this is a bummer. This will not however inspire me to rush out and buy a PS2 as soon as it is released. So we might have to wait a while, big deal! I'm sure a lot of people will feel that they "might as well" buy a PS2 than wait for a few extra months, a reflection of the general "what I want, when I want" mentality that is common today. I think that the gamecube will be "better" than the PS2, because it will have better games, end of argument. Technical specs do less for me than the thought of Margaret Thatcher in lingerie. Games are everything - as an example compare Banjo Kazooie to something like Superman, both on the N64, both using the same hardware, but in different galaxies in terms of enjoyment. Good games do not depend on the machine they run on! (Take a look in the classic games forum if you don't believe me)
Me, I'll wait patiently for my Gamecube, I'll "get by" with my N64 until then, and I may even enjoy the anticipation of the wait. Computer games for me are a time-filler, something I do when I've nothing else to do, not something that I prioritise over other activities. I could certainly live without them (although I wouldn't like to), and if the games I'm playing while I'm waiting are worse than those PS2 owners have got, so be it. A wait of a few months, or even a year is not unreasonable for something that should last you for 3 or 4 years, especially if you have a games machine to play while you do so.
In any case, from what I here supplies of PS2s are going to be somewhat less than plentiful for a few months after its release - I don't think they can even meet the pre-order demand.
Of course I might try to persuade one of my flatmates to part with HIS cash for a PS2 and thereby get the best of both worlds....
Here endeth the rant.....
