I just totally, utterly and completely shocked myself. I actually considered BUYING A NINTENDO GAMECUBE. Yes, you read right, ANT CONSIDERED BUYING A NINTENDO GAMECUBE.

And I still am. And to be honest, I don't know why. Not many of the games appeal to me, apart from WrestleMania X-8, Eternal Darkness, Perfect Dark 2 and ported games like Final Fantasy. Oh yeah, and probably Eclipse too. That's not very many, and half of them won't be coming out for a while anyway. I suppose the cheap price is tempting...

It's doubtful I will get one though. I'm hoping to get Racer Revenge and Deus Ex for the PS2 soon, and I'm also interested in getting Headhunter, Final Fantasy 9 and Virtua Tennis 2 (whenever they come out) so I won't have much money left. Also, I don't think my parents will like my decision. And I need a new PC...argh, I need a bit more money, and I can't even seem to get a job at the local newsagents. :D

But just be honoured, that you were here, when Ant considered buying a Nintendo GameCube.

PS- If it's anything like the GBA though then Nintendo can sod off.

There is a gadget you can buy that is easy to install that creates a backlit effect within the GBA and is bloody brilliant in terms of quality.

I will get one :) You should too.

Im considering buying one too but just for Wrestlemania X-8. That game is going to be sweet.
Take a look at the new screenshots at IGN, they are amazing!

Everything ive always wanted in a wrestling game looks like its going to make an appearance in this game.

Just to name 2.
1) Propping tables up in the corner
2) 3-D through table!

Sounds like its just getting better and better.

:)

Some of the other games may interest me too....... Super monkey ball and Pikmin........ but no others so far.

:)

erm...not sure. I've got some sort of screen protector/light as well.

But it'd definitely be less than they are in stories, even with the protector. And the games would be cheaper too.

Sonic is the only one out of them I would consider getting.

It's not really the games, I just can't play with that screen. I find it impossible for some reason.
