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

if you think the austin powers quote is the highlight of your humour, then i pity you. i only dissed you cause you put all that stuff on edgy's post, and you used no smileys, nor punctuation, and you made little sense. What opinion, i called you a moron cause you dissed all over edgys post, that was not an opinion for people to comment on, that was spam. spam that made very little sense. and if you've no problem with me, then i haven't much of a problem with you. improve your grammer, and i will befren you, otherwise, i'll stay away from you and post the occasional witty comment in your favour.

how it should sound:
I don't diss people, i fight back if the diss me. you slanged me off first and nobody gets away with it.i don't care if you've won every slanging match you have ever been in, this is going to be you first loss.


Please grammatise your next insult. i find your current taunting laughable in its... gibberish. and i pity the fool who doesn't like me.

punctuation.

grammer.

making sense when you speak.

all trademarks of a regular (or an enlightened newbie)

and for your information, they halved my post count because i went a way to another site for a while. then the other site collapsed. either that or i misjudged my original post count.

(and dont you start a fight with me, i've been in more slanging matches than the 1984 universally undisputed yokel slang champoin of the... western hemisphere, the swingingest hemisphere of all!

I have the strangest feeling that he wasn't joking.

And, yes, Sibs, someone could be that stupid. I've seen many newbies like that.
