"What do you think of the GameCube?"

I`ve got a Game Cube and the graphics are really good!
I`ve got one game which is Super Smash Bros that`s really good as well!

News to me. Haven't played metroid yet, but my GC has crashed a total of three times, and all of those can be attributed to the crap memory card I was using at the time...

I have both a PS2 and a GC. I much prefer my PS2 over the cube, but it's still a good console in it's own rite, with plenty of decent games to play on it.

My PS2 has crashed on me a few times too, happens very rarely, but seems to have the knack of coming around when ive been playing a few hours and forgot to save.

Ruddy thing.

Good console, prone to crashing though. Metroid Prime is causing quite a lot of people some difficulty.

Used to have one, sold it because it bored me stupid.
Used to have a PS2, sold it. Bought again
Still have an Xbox

Verdict?
Gaymkyoob for munkees

I have both of these consoles. I prefer the PS2 because it has more good games....recently anyway.

The only problem I have with the GameCube is that there are too many decent games coming out in too short a time.

I really can't be expected to play them all.

lol! He`s gonna be pretty happy in the end though I imagine! Having said that though, it would be even funnier if he said "But I prefer the Playstation 2!!" :D

I think it's great except it doesn't play PS2 games or DVDs so it's not a lot of good to me. I bought one for my nephew for Christmas though along with Super Mario Sunshine, I don't think he's ready for MGS2 yet.

(He's already got a GBA, we're giving him Super Mario Sunshine as his Christmas Stocking present then spending the next couple of hours apologising to him because Granny bought it and she thought it was compatible with his GBA but don't worry we'll take it back to the shop and exchange it for the GBA version after Boxing Day etc... he hasn't got a clue we've got him a Gamecube too... heh, we're mean...)

No to both as far as I know. Capcom are making a handful of Resident Evil games for Nintendo, some of which are remakes, but then returning to all consoles, and PS2, with games like Resident Evil online.

As for Sega, they are a large independent company that developes games for all consoles.

A long while back the Bath University newspaper did a little article on the next generation consoles. They said X-Box was the most powerful, but made by Microsoft, so would fail. They said PS2 had loads of games, but nobody would buy it. Finally, and this one was funny, the positive points for buying a Gamecube were:

1) It looks lovely.
2) Sega make games only for Nintendo.
