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.

Oh really? I've got nine very good games at the moment. That's all the games I've got at the moment. There are many others I'd really like to own but can not afford right now, and you're trying to tell me that the Nintendo GameCube has barely and good games? I'm very interested in what you've played and whether your statement is entirely opinionated.

NO, NO, NO! Isn't that contradicting what you said about the Game Boy Advance? Mario Sunshine is just as "5 years old" as Mario Kart Super Circuit is on the Game Boy Advance. Both based on older games, both brand new titles. And Mario Tennis and Mario Golf? Weren't they on the N64? Surely there's going to be an element of similarity. So maybe the GameCube doesn't have anything new at all then - Going by your logic that is.

i am having to disagree with a lot of this, firstly the gba is the best handheld out, there aint others but it is the best every, it has BOF and BOF2 both great RPGs and one of the best RPGs i have played Golden Sun! Mario kart is good as you said and so to is spider man, attack of the clones and they are just a few!
The gba is very good! and the graphics are great for a handheld

The PRESENT ain't too hot.

The GBA is overrated. It's three games that are generally regarded as the best (Doom, Mario Advance 2 and Mario Kart) are all at least five years old. It has no new must have stuff...so what if stuff like Virtua Tennis and Super Monkey Ball are coming to the handheld? A handful of 'killer-apps' (that is, IF they live up to the hype), all of which are just inferior versions of console games, does not make a great platform.

Plus, the GCN has barely any good games at the moment. Eternal Darkness is the only amazing one so far, and one game does not justify shelling out £130.

The Big N sucks NOWADAYS. If they pull their fingers out and release Mario Sunshine, Tennis and Golf, the new Zeldas, and some more Rare games then perhaps they can win me over.

But of course, Mario and Zelda aren't good at all, so I suppose the future IS bleak.......especialy this autumn...........

Nintendo's attitude to gaming is sort of annoying of late. And there are still no must have games yet. THey better hurry up with Metroid over in America.

Whooo! Go El Swandre! :D

I agree about the GBA, which is possibly the worst console ever made, and it would be a great time for gaming if Nintendo stopped making consoles. :D

*Ant, in annoying mode*

Nah, I dunno, I've never really been into any Ninty product, and I doubt anything could give me a better experience than what MGS did. Just me though, some people don't like MGS...
