I really hate the fact people are staying loyal to nintendo, they left europe behind years ago!
the games are STILL childish and for little kids!
they STILL have bloody italian plumbers!!
they STILL are intent on their own format not a widely used one! ( N64 cart, big mistake, GAMECUBE not dvd, big mistake)
price is good, but then, if the games are pants!! who cares!
I hate nintendo, do what sega did! STOP MAKING CONSOLES!!!

the xbox is incredible, I have one , Ive tried all of them, PS2, XBOX, GAMECUBE,
theres simply no comparison
PERIOD!
who ever thinks otherwise is either a 14 year old puffy jacket, or cant afford one!

If he comes back, maybe he would like to read this quote from Shigeru Miyamoto I copied off Planet GameCube:

"I think it's not wise to talk about something before having the chance to test it. Only playing you can judge a game and, after E3 2002, when you all will be able to play with the new Zelda, we will talk again about it." - Shigeru Miyamoto

He deserved it, he's most likely an alias for someone too (JAT's usually type the shorter messages).

WRONG!, sonic is far better and far more original than mario every was, mario was little diferent from 8 bit platformers sonic was fast and original and its the poriginality of mega drive games than made it kick the "rear end" of the snez, many bought the mega drive just for sonic games, u cant say than about a certain fat plumer

> have an open mind and have NO KNOWLEDGE OF GAMING!

i do, thats why i have given dreamcast, playstation and nintendo their chances in the past

oh and by the way im not that narror minded biast one here because ive tried all the consoles and given them a chance rather than going on hype, you thou just love nintendo coz u think they think of u first, guess what they dont uk gamers will b the last to get the cube,
but uk gamers will get box first, over a year befor the japanees do,

Actually, I can remember the order from end2000 beginning 2001, most profitable games companies in order:

Nintendo
Electronic Arts
Sony

Actually, my brother bought the SNES for "a certain fat plumber" who stars in Super Mario Allstars. I'm not denying the Sonic games are original styles of platform games, but they certainly wouldn't be aorund if it wasn't for Mario!

Let me see, I've tried a ZX Spectrum controller (3 different joysticks), the Game Boy/Game Boy Color/Game Boy Advance/Game Gear (each with inbuild controllers), SNES, Mega Drive, NES, Nintendo 64, Sega Saturn, SNES (competition Pro), N64 (Competition Pro), Mega Drive (Competition Pro), Playstation, Dual Shock 2 (for PS2), X-box, GameCube and, oh look! Dreamcast!

The Dreamcast controller is ok, but I wouldn't say any better than the N64's, but the GameCube controller just immediately fits into the hand, no need to "get used to it" at all.

I thought they think of Japanese gamers and their own profits first, thanks for putting me straight!

guess what they dont uk gamers will b the last to get the

As they were the PS2,and all previous consoles including the Dreamcast.

It's already out in USA, so we're not getting it first.

> microsoft or sony

So what's so bad about Nintendo? They're original, they make their own games, they make games for all age-groups, and they've even got Square making games on their systems now! I never saw Sega do that! And as for Sony, the only games I've ever liked that are only on the PSX/2 (and PC) are the Grand Theft Auto games. All the others I've tried have just bored me. Sega, well I've got the Dreamcast and I want a Mega Drive, they're brilliant consoles, but after playing one, I know they don't top the GameCube. And the X-box, well when I can work out how to hold the controller comfortably, I'll start playing one. So far my futile attempts to play Amped have made my hands ache....

Anybody who uses the most pathetic excuse for an insult 'kiddy' is a fool, the people who call Nintendo 'kiddy' are childish little 10 year olds who think that liking games just because they have blood is mature. You obviously dont care wether your having fun or not, because thats what games are about: FUN. The GameCube has a far superior line-up for 2002 than X-BOX. You think your a gamer? your nothing but a kid who doesnt know any better, you disgust me.

Firstly i already wrote sumthin similar to this before about how the cube isnt gonna be the best console like you are all saying. If I remember, didn't everyone say that the 64 was gonna be amazing.... The playstation although it had dodgy graphics had tonnes more games and there were more better games out there that the 64.

I also just noticed something else from Edgy;

>Actually, I can remember the order from end2000 beginning 2001, most profitable games companies in order:

Sony

The reason that Nintendo got more profits was because of the Game boy, the 64 did not outsell the playstation, ninendo have basically the whole of the hand held market and that is y they get tonnes of money from it.

Basically when I finish my exams in the summer, im gonna get a PS2 because it will only be about £10 more expensive than the cube, it already has loads more games and the cube will not be able to take over the PS2, there will be more people with PS2 that cubes and i will be surprised if it ever changes...

ph1l I think most sane Nintendo owners realise that the Gamecube won't be number 1 commercially, but that doesnt mean we will abandon it as we know it has great games. And the person who stated Nintendo was the biggest earner didnt deny that the GBA made them that profit..BUT what it does mean is that even if the Gamecube only sold 1 million units worldwide, they have more than enough money to keep it supported and in production for at least 5 years.

Everything is going wrong for me today, damm PC stalls and restarts for no reason just as i push POST, so i got to write the whole message again....

Anyway, I never said that the cube would be crap, i just believe that PS2 will be around for a long time and will ultimatly have the most games and a better list. (Before anybody says that nintendo have a great list of games for 2002 can we please play them first before rating them. I was one of the mugs who believed that south park would be great....) If I had the choice I would have all three consoles but as I want to buy my console in June, PS2 will be cheap (£300 for XBOX!!! Im not waiting for it to take 2 years to go down in price) and so will gamecube, but so far PS2 has got absolutely loads of games and gamecube will not have as many. Basically in my opinion PS2 will absolutely thrash cube in sales and games because of the larger market and the stage of development that has already been reached.
