Have you seen the Gamecube?

Did you see where the memory cards go?

That's right, on the console, by the pad ports.

Just like the Playstation.

Copy cats.

Nintendo not have enough 3rd party support?

Well, they only lost a few developers really when the N64 was released.

And some of them have come back, plus more! (and when I say come back, I don't mean they are exclusive to Nintendo consoles)

Squaresoft have announced 3 games for the Nintendo consoles, 1 for GameCube and 2 for Game Boy Advance under the Final Fantasy name. Sony only agreed to allow Square to do this as long as it didn't effect the PS2's games, and so Square set up their own mini-company with aid from Yamauchi's fund for new developers, and so we will be seeing games from them in the future.

Sega have already released games on Nintendo systems, as well as PS2 and X-box.

And there's even rumours of the Metal Gear Solid games being released on Nintendo consoles, and supposedly (I'm not certain about this) the makers of Metal Gear Solid will be releasing a game for the GameCube.

Nintendo have got all the support they need. For all you know, Sony could suddenly drop out of the videogames market. It almost happened to Nintendo and they were on top!

Milner, ok I know it was sarcasm but

a) I'm not too sure whether he's a kid

b) He's a Notable and has been here longer than me, has dished out (probably) his own fair share of sarcasm before.

c) I'm sure Meka hasn't taken it the wrong way otherwise I'd have been slagged down straigh away.

d) I wouldn't have done it if I was a JAT (Just Arrived Today) or a Newbie but as a regular I think we can get away with that sort of thing.

e) It was meant as a joke but Meka if I've upset you then I apologise.

> damn you NINTENDO it is about time you
> dissappeared!


Yes. Would you wish that the Grandfather of modern gaming disappeared - NOTHING, repeat NOTHING can compare to Nitnendo, its contribution to gaming, and its amazing, unique style of games.

Grow up.

ANd Resifan, or whatever you're called - The Resident Evil series is exclusive to GC - Still such a big fan?

if your going to be that picky , you could say, (with regards to the disc drive) that sony ripped off the sega mega cd2, and the amiga cd-32, ah how many of you so called console no it alls remember the cd - 32, if you do prove it.
What were the colours of the 4 buttons on the right of the the control pads.
was it (A) green yellow red blue
or (B) green orange red pink
or (c) Were they all black with numbers 1-4 on them.

answers please!
