The "Nintendo Games" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
The hype of late has been about PS2, Metal Gear Solid 2 etc. etc.
But recently the GameCube fired the battle weary and experienced Nintendo, gaming giant back in the frame. The execs at Nintendo have made mistakes with the N64, ironically the same mistakes Sony seem eager to repeat with there latest games machine.
The Hardware is hard to program and an air of arrogance seem to accompany the PS2. But before anyone says well he is a Nintendo fan he hates Sony, let me re-iterate I am a Games fan, I own a Playstation, Dreamcast, and N64 I buy games that appeal to me. Not what the adverts tell me to.
But as a games fane the thing that has me drooling at the moment is admittedly Metal Gear Solid 2, but more than that the GameCube. The Specs seem awesome. But as we all know Specs don't make the machine. The Demos however of Link and Ganondorf fighting and the Mario demo with hundreds of independently thinking Marios all on screen at one time prove the power of the machine. I will buy a PS2, an X-Box and a GameCube, but from what I have seen so far it is the GameCube that seems to be the most impressive, it will ensure Nintendo's future as a the Computer Giant, and the games will come thick and fast as Publishers jump back on the Nintendo band wagon. (Konami has already signed up with rumours of MGS2 appearing on the GC). Not enough to convince people GC will be great, well look at the games, Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong, ISS, Rare (Perfect Dark and Goldeneye) we can expect more games of this sort of standard. Not to mention the Pokemon phoenomena. Does Nintendo need any more?
