We gather here today, to celebrate the short-life of the unpopular gaming console the N64. Seemingly trampled all over by new consoles such as sony and microsofts, the nintendo was pushed into the gutter to live a life with ludicrously over priced games and daft controlers to share it's cardboard box with.
Taking it's throne is the GameCube which is also just been pushed onto the kerb by rapidly advancing consoles, not having enough time to compete with blocky graphics and poor titles.
So let us pray, to our heaven above that Nintendo shall never hold a frightening reign over the gaming world and focus on the smaller things in life such as the ever-loved but deteriorating gameboy advance.
Ahmen.

Hoped you liked the service by the way, brought to you by the famous stallion.

I'm not sure about official stats here in the UK, but in America, the Game Boy Advance has been the most popular console since it's launch.

Then i will reply!

Since when was the N64 trampeled over, it looked better, it played better, it was better, it is better and will always be better than a certan Playstation.

The Gamecube is better, will be better, was better, looks better, plays better, smells better, its price is better than a certain Playstation 2 and its wannabe X-box...

As for blicky graphics... where does he get his information from??? I know about the PS2's jagged Edge problem.

It's more fitting to take the mick:

Yep, because people are using their Gamecube to play great games 27/7, it doesn't have the time to compete with your blocky graphics, we pushed it onto the kerb so that only your piece of crap would get fittingly flatterned by the steam roller.

So there! :-P

Of course they do! Why did Sony release 6 special edition colours of the Playstation 2? To get people to waste more money than they need to to get a diferent colour casing for their PS2s! Anyway, you can also buy the Black GameCube on launch if you don't like the purple one!


Obviously not for it's
> weedy hardware.

Weedy hardware? As I've already said, the GameCube has been named the best console out of the three for gaming! The other two only have better specs to be able to play DVD's as well. The GameCube may not have the highest specs, but it's got decent hardware nonetheless.!


Look at the daft rumble packs on the n64, you had to buy them
> whereas on the psone you had it built in to the controller.

I will tell you this now to save you any more embarrassment as a fellow gamer. SHUT UP! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT! The Dremacast you had to buy seperate Rumble Packs, so what if you did on the N64? At least you didn't have to buy memory cards to save on all games! Most you could save on the cartridge itself! I know that all the new consoles have memory cards, well the X-box also has a hard drive.



Hmmm, me thinks
> er-no is stuck in the past.

I think you'll find he's looking towards the future. You appear to be stuck in a time-zone. The time-zone where everyone speaks out their high and mighty backsides spouting rubbish, polluting the boards. Get your facts straight before complaining about a console you've not seen, played or even read about!!!

Why don't you go play your snes or mega-drive

You saying there's something wrong with the SNES or Megadrive?


but
> not for too long now-Don't want you staying up past bed time do we.

Grow up!
