First the GCN gets 3DO and their Army Men 'games'...then they get two Resident Evil games ported from some seven year old hardware...and now they get some games from the freaking MEGA-DRIVE after this new Sega announcement.

Not to mention the GBA's swelling library of SNES and M-D games.

And the cancellation of Spaceworld.

And the President saying they might pull a Sega.

Wow.

Neithers Mario Kart Super Circuit you fool, it's a totally new game the only similarity is that you can unlock the old SNES tracks as a bonus.

true, but you are being a bit hippocritical as you are saying that you should not say about one console being better as it is opinion, but look at your tag line! lol, joke mate

I've got Rogue Leader and Luigi's Mansion. I have also got Spider-man, Super Smash Bros Melee, Pikmin, Simpsons Road Rage, Extreme G III, Super Monkey Ball and Burnout. But as you said, there's nothing special on the GameCube. Sure, not all of those games are 100% perfect, though, no game is. I have personally enjoyed playing each one and continue to do so, but again, they all suck obviously because you occasionally play one or two of them at a friend's...

NO.
Mario Kart: Super Circuit was a new game based on the Super NES and N64 versions. The tracks were new, the music new, and even the trophy scenes were new. Sure, they're based on the other two games, but they're not ported! That's just like saying Sonic Advance on the Game Boy Advance is a port of Sonic The Hedgehog on the MegaDrive!

Same with the others I mentioned. Mario Sunshine is BRAND

Brand new, though looks quite similar to Super Mario 64. Oh yeah, it's got that ability Super Mario World had where you punch the fence and swing around to the other side! IT'S A PORT OF THE SNES GAME

True, but again that's going against what you said about Mario Kart Super Circuit.

People have different likes and dislikes around the gaming world its bound to happen. Personally I don't feel that the GC and GBA are bad, I have owned a PS2 and enjoyed my time using that but decided to change it for a GC. Why you may ask... Well it all comes down to personal taste and I looked at the GC games set to come out this year and also the PS2 ones and not a lot interested me on the PS2. Where as the GC has got a lot to offer me and I personally find it the best console in the much hyped 'console war'. What I'm trying to say is that not everyone is going to enjoy everything the gaming world has to offer us.

What nine games? And I've played quite a few GCN games. Stuff like Rogue Leader, Wave Race and Luigi's Mansion are all owned by my mates, so I get to play them quite often.

Not quite a contradiction, and not quite as 'five years old'. Mario Kart was basically the SNES and N64 versions fused together and PORTED. Same with the others I mentioned. Mario Sunshine is BRAND NEW.

> they on the N64? Surely there's going to be an element of similarity.

Yes, there will be, as they're sequels. Again, not ports.

Yeah, it's the best handheld out. Doesn't make it the best ever. And either way, it's not saying much.

And what is BOF?
