As a PS2 owner I can't help but chuckle at the problem Gamecube and Xbox owners face.
There systems software more often than not are just cheap ports of PS2 games and a way of making some easily money for developers without the effort. Need for Speed is an obvious example of this while the PS2 version runs at a really fast pace the Gamecube version is hysterically slow not much good having a smart looking racer that move like a lada. The Xbox version granted is better, but still not as good as the PS2 version why is this because the game has obviously been optimised for the PS2 first and then ported over.
People that say PS2 is dead need to get there head out of the sand from what I can see there would be no reason to buy a GC or Xbox on this evidence as you pay more for clone or inferior product. That is why the PS2 continues to sell as many as Xbox and GC put together.

Rare did indeed make Starfox Adventures for the Gamecube, but Nintendo themselves own Starfox. Rare don't. They made the game under the guidance of Nintendo. Anything Starfox related will NOT appear on the X-Box unless Nintendo actually sold the Starfox licence to Microsoft
The latest Nintendo magazine contradicts that then.

So y'see Top Score... I was right - as was confirmed by others - and you, my silly little child, were absolutely wrong.
And in the words of you yourself:
Suck on that!

You beat me to it Bartender :)

Yes, Rare made Starfox Adventures, but Nintendo own the rights to the Starfox brand, meaning that any future Starfox titles will be Gamecube only, so there won't be a sequel on the Xbox.

Starfox was made by Rare, but is OWNED by Nintendo. Sure, MS will get some royalties for the sale of this particular game, but the sequel will be Ninty's own.

I think you're reading the wrong financial reports sonny. Financial trouble isn't having billions of yen in liquid assets "just in case".

ahhh, the dosh issue. According to the BBC web site, Ninty are not doing so well money wise. Not making enough on each Gamecube sold.

Ha Ha Ha what an ignorant little man you are don't comment on things you have not researched without getting the facts first.
Starfox is made by Rare which if I am not mistaken is now owned by MS so the sequel will be Xbox exclusive suck on that.
If the Nintendo did not make the mistake of making the GC to cheap in the first place they would not be in the financial trouble they are now in and would have probably still owned 49% of Rare.

If the Nintendo did not make the mistake of making the GC to cheap in the first place they would not be in the financial trouble they are now in and would have probably still owned 49% of Rare.
