Some might disagree but the gamecube is the future of gaming, just look at the talent its has lined up. For starters Resident Evil, the remake (which i thought was so cheap making an old game into a new one) till i played it. what a game! one of the greatest games ever in the world. i can't get over how good the main hall looked, in the first game the main hall was very well lit, not this time, the atmosphere sets the game as it plans to go on. Also other games such as Lord of the rings and the new mario game look amazing. So what if the Xbox has halo and oddworld and the PS2 has the Next repetitive Tomb raider 6 and the upcoming smackdown 4. All those games are just the same thing over and over ageain, but games like lord of the rings and resident evil(even tho its a remake ,its sed to be twice as big, and the new mario game it's said to be amazing. so the gamecube is going to be the best and probablly already is.

Look out for the following games.

Resident Evil: Biohazard
Lord of the Rings
Zelda: from the n64
Mario
and the re-birth of TUROK
and many many more

PS2 does indeed suck.

But it's supposed to.

You see, the fan sucks air in through the front of the machine, and pushes it out of the back.

On the other hand, if your Gamecube does indeed rock when you get it, try tearing a page out of the instruction manual, then folding it in half a number of times. Then place this folded paper under the corner of your Gamecube, and you should find that the rocking stops.

One final piece of advice: be careful of paper cuts when tearing and folding the page, as they can be painful. Don't be too worried about them, though, as your mittens will offer significant protection.

Of course I would. I've never owned a nintendo system in my life so have yet to flavour the likes of mario and zelda. Besides most nintendo games don't get converted to any other games platform, so I shouldn't be pulling my hair out wondering whether or not I should get game now or wait to see if the conversion is any better.

Most of the gamecube games are ports from the PS2 and the Dreamcast and the other cube games are 1 hour long like pikmin, wave race is just a copy of the N64 game and so is super smash bros melee.
Prehapes you would like the 50th mario game.
mario golf, mario tennis and mario ksrt are the same as the other virsions so there a rip of.

The Gamecube has been designed as a games console, not a multimedia workstation. That’s why its cheaper than other consoles on the market, and that’s why I will be getting one later this year.

I already have a DVD and CD player on my PS2 so it doesn't really bother me if the GC doesn't have some of the same functions the other consoles have.

And anyway, I personally don't think either the of the two consoles (PS2 and GC) suck, they both are powerful machines which play some great games.

Yeah, Gc can't play DVDs or CDs because the size of the bit that you insert the gmae will only fit GC games. That's why GC is so cheap - because it only plays games while PS2 and XBox (i think) can play all three, gmaes DVDs and CDs.

AHA! But if exclusive means nothing nowadays then GC will get as many quality 3rd party titles as the PS2 and X-Box. MWAHAHA! I win! :-D

Oh and whoever it was that asked, Gamecube is out on Friday.

I'm currently stuck as to whether to get a GC on my Birthday (late June) or to wait till Christmas and get a minidisc hi-fi for my Birthday. It's a tough choice. The GC would be 100 quid cheaper but then I couldn't listen to minidiscs in my room for another 6 months. It's such a hard choice. Oh well, at least once I have a GC I won't have to worry about another onsole for another 5 years or so.
