"5 Reasons to buy a Cube"

Ok, well most of you here will already have a Cube, but in the off chance that you don't, here are 5 very good reasons that will make you see sense. :-)


1.) It's made by Nintendo. The King of all Console developers are back with possibly their last games console, but it'll certainly be the best. Finally Nintendo made that large jump from cartridges to CDs, which makes for a cheaper console, which makes for more developers joining up, which makes for more games, which makes for more money. The main thing here though is, it's made by Nintendo, and that's why anyone that doesn't have a Cube should buy one.

2.) Rareware. Where would a Nintendo console be without the mighty developers Rare? They would be without Perfect Dark, Conker's Bad Fur Day, Donkey Kong, Banjo, Lylat Wars and Goldeneye, which were all in the top 10 games chart on the N64. Most of these games will return on GC, except Goldeneye, and there will be another great selection of games coming out also. Rare haven't shown much life so far towards the GC, but no doubt they are working away on something magnificent down at Twycross. There has been talk of Rare moving to multi-format gaming, but they probably won't, as half of their games are connected to Nintendo, who would obviously not like them on any other consoles. Rare are the main developers besides Ninty on the GC.

3.) Mario. Mario for Nintendo is like Snake for Sony, Sonic for Sega or Halo for X-Box. Without a Mario game on a console, Nintendo will lose quite a bit of money, and lots of respect. There was no Mario game at launch, but the GC still did well. If there was a Mario game at launch, the GC would have done even better, as Mario Sunshine has shown, making the GC sell superbly as it is released in Japan. Hopefully the GC sales will recieve a huge boost too when Mario is released in the US and the UK.

4.) Link. Link is trendsetter for Nintendo, as his previous games across lots of different Nintendo consoles prove. So many other adventure games have tried to use techniques from Legend of Zelda games. Some have been good, and some have been bad, but the main thing is, none of them have managed to better Link in any way, and hopefully this'll be the result when Legend of Zelda: GC comes out. Shigsy's imagination looked to have gotten the better of him when he decided to make Link a whole lot younger for this game, and use cel-shading as well. He never keeled over in the pressure from the fans though, and now that we're all looking at this game properly, it looks mighty good!

5.) Shigsy. Oh, where would Nintendo be without this magical games designer that goes by the name of Shigeru Miyamoto? Not very far, it has to be thought. Shigsy's mad imagination has brought us Link, Mario and and Donkey Kong games that have been better than any other games that we've seen across many other Ninty consoles. His brilliance has already brought us Pikmin for the GC, and in the next few years, Shigsy will no doubt be ready to bring us more wonderfully insane titles that we will all enjoy. Shigsy simply rules.

There you go. 5 reasons to buy the Cube. Now go on, buy one. :D

AJ.

That was a coincidental typo (I assume it was a typo) as 'Goose' was Maverick's co-pilot in the film Top Gun.

That's settled then - just a bit of a misunderstanding.

There are some message boards where people use abbreviations all the time, so if you were to come onto one like this, it might just be hard to adapt to the way things work. I could understand what egg head was saying, and I suppose, because he's a newbie, he didn't know how things work.

Good job it's cleared up though.

Egg Head's alright though. You've got to admit, it takes time to get adjusted around here.

I'm confused :(

And in response to AfroJoe - I was never a newbie :D

LOL! That actually made me laugh. Well done. :D

Some of us haven't been newbies though. Ask Edgy about that one, as I'm not too sure. :-)
