ok you dont need to reply to them all, infact none of them if you wish.

1. Fighting games are now, in my opinon, strugling to keep people happy as all they can do now is add more characters and arenas. and maybe more moves.
The graphics are getting better all the time but I feel that if you have played one fighting game you have played them all, next gen consoles only seeming as before the 128bit era they couldnt really do much more to it.

2. Haven. the game they say will change the face of gaming. If you dont know what it is ill tell you its a game which has everything shooting, racing, fighting etc. I dont think this will do any good as a jack of all trades master of none sort of thing will happen.

3. finnaly people who say nintendo has to many short games cannt use it any more as starfox will be on 2 discs and will last 80 hours. How are they going to put 2 discs in the case can someone tell me.

4. people are saying super mario sunshine is a make or brake game for nintendo, i dont see it that way as theres enough games already to keep them a float. Any way its gonna be good, its mario.

5. push mode could be put in all games really, footy = amount of time on the ball, shoot um ups = how many bullets you have put into them.
Push mode by the way is 2 players playing a game and the one doing better gets his screen bigger as the other loses space and the loser is the first to get pushed off the screen.

I put it all in to one topic as none of them is good to be a one off and it will stop people from moaning at me for putting 5 new topics on.

Also if you dont like what i say it was my little sister writing it all, honest.

no i mean every kind of game like part 1 sees you driving
then you are shooting and so on.
also it was the company saying it would be good not me, and i think it will be rubbish.

Well, it takes something special to take a tried and tested formula and revamp it to make it original. I believe Nintendo have this something special in Super Smash Bros. Melee on the GameCube. Also, why not check out Soul Calibur 2 - GC version? It's looking superb.

I do agree with you to some extent. There's only so far the Tekken series can go.

Haven sounds a bit like GTA3 to be honest, and as I hadn't even heard of it before now, I doubt it will be 'revolutionary'.

Information on StarFox Adventures is scarce, and this is news to me. I doubt Nintendo will make it so long anyway, and spend their time on quality gaming. If there are two discs then I suspect there'd be a deeper disc holder, where one disc can go on top of the other.

Indeed, though a Mario game is always a good thing, the GameCube could have survived without it what with all of Nintendo's excellent games out before the end of the year, the Resident Evil series and Final Fantasys.

Sounds like a great idea, and something that would be a class addition to Perfect Dark Zero or Timesplitters 2. However, most footy multiplayers only have one screen, so it may not work for that.

Well to put two games in one case they'll probobly put like a hinged holder over the normal one like they do in double dvd cases(Lord of the rings for example)
