The "Nintendo Games" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
There are a worrying amount of decent games on the way, so I thought I'd let you know which I want most, and why, because that's fun.
Mario Sunshine: Because it's the proper sequel to Super Mario 64. Because all other Mario games have been excellent. Because it is the type of game I love most. (And I already have claimed it, haha!)
Eternal Darkness: Because it still feels like a Nintendo game, but with a creepy storyline, and different paths to take. (Already claimed)
StarFox Adventures: Because Rare's best games are in this style, and they've been working on this forever. Also, Arwing sections. (Already claimed)
Resident Evil: Because I've never played it before. I played the one on the N64 briefly, but I look at the video's and screenshots, and I get scared. I'll probably scream when playing this. I'm not a girl. (Already claimed)
Bomberman Generations. Because Bomberman was the greatest multiplayer game ever. Because this tries to recapture that. Because it has a quest mode where you blow stuff up. Because it might be out in November.
Sega Soccer Slam: Because football is a great sport, and this has made it more fun. Because multiplayer games are most fun.
Beach Spikers: Because I like multiplayer games. Because it's a goo dgame. I'm not a pervert.
Super Monkey Ball 2: Because the original is fantastic. Because this has MORE mini-games. Because the single player mode has been improved, and made HARDER!
Metroid Prime: Because it's Metroid. I don't like FPS much, but because this is an adventure, it should still rule.
Legend of Zelda: Because it's a Zelda game. If they can keep the feeling of all the other games, with the new look, it will be a great adventure.
Doshin the Giant: Because when I first saw a movie of him emerging from the water I thought that his belly-button was a willy. Because it's different, whilst reminding me of Populus.
Mario Party 4: Because button mashing mini-games are fun. Because it has NEW mini-games compared to MP2.
Wario World: Because Wario is one of Nintendo's greatest creations. Because in appearance it reminds me of Luigi's Mansion.
Star Wars Bounty Hunter: Because it sounds excellent. Because I love Star Wars. Because I thought up the idea for a game like this years ago, and finally someone has made it.
Others I might consider, if, like, I get rich:
WWE Wrestlemania X8: Because wrestling games have been fun in the past... But this is alleged to be different.
Die Hard: Because they've talked it up well... But FPS isn't my genre, so it will have to be great.
Turok Evolution: Because dinosaurs rule... But again, FPS.
Disney's Magical Mirror starring Mickey Mouse: Because Malibu and Georgia would like it... But they won't get to if it gets sucky reviews.
Smuggler's Run- Warzone: Because I don't have a racing game, and this sounds fun... But I tire of typical racing games quickly
Burnout 2: Because this is one of the better racers coming to the Cube... But again, I don't overly like the genre.
Then looking further into 2003 we have:
Kameo: Elements of Power: Because it's Rare doing monster collecting and manipulating stuff.
Animal Leader/ Cubivore: Because it's different, and cubey.
Animal Crossing /Forest: Because it's the kind of game you can dip into for half an hour or so whenever you feel like it.
Harvest Moon - A Wonderful Life: Because I've found the earlier games very enjoyable, almost relaxing to play.
Skies of Arcadia Legend: Because I love this type of RPG. Because Grix is a good salesman.
Namco Starfox: Because it's the proper sequel to Lylat Wars.
Soul Calibur 2: Because it's the sequel to one of the best fihting games around, allegedly... But I'm not a big fan of fighting games.
Phantasy Star Online: Because Phantasy Star was the first RPG I ever played and it rules... But I'd prefer Phantasy Star Offline.
Then there are the Mario Karts, Golfs and Tennis', but we've yet to get any indication of when we'll get them.
Then there are the games I've forgotten about.
Then there are the ones that come out of nowhere, and are really good.
Plus others which you don't really look forward to, then when they come out, they grab you somehow!
Just think how long it took to get this number of quality games on the N64? We really are spoilt for choice over the next year or so. Then will it keep getting better?

Okay.. let me see..
Super Mario Sunshine
Imported versions are looking fantastic, and are getting great reviews. I've been reading up on it a lot, and it seems to succeed where Mario 64 didn't. It will certainly revolutionise platform gaming.
Anticipation Rating - 10/10.
The Legend Of Zelda
By far my most favourite franchise ever, as it's provided me with such great games as Ocarina Of Time and Majora's Mask. The cel shading I don't mind about as I trust Nintendo, and think it's a breath of fresh air.
Anticipation Rating - 10/10.
Perfect Dark Zero
I've been looking for something to better Goldeneye for a good while yet, and nothings' come close. However, Rare are back in business again with Perfect Dark Zero, and I'm hoping it'll gain the crown as my favourite FPS.
Anticipation Rating - 9/10.

Sounds like you would've been better off with a PS2 if it's those games you're after mate.
But, you pay your money and you take your choice. And a good one it was too.

Well i brought a cube cause it was cheaper then anything else. I purchased a GBA weeks before and was impressed by Nintendo ( my first Nintendo purchase). But the only games im looking forward to are probley Aggressive Inline, Tony hawks 4 and Colin Mcree Rally.
The Cube needs a decent racer. Burnout is kool, and i might get burnout 2 but i wish Cube had something like F355! That game is so cool, the best on Dreammachine.
And now in Extreme sports its all multiformat. Which is a shame.

Oh yeah and I still want some N64 games, Mario 64 back and Harvest Moon 64.
Maybe get a Banjo Kazzoie box and instructions just so everything I have has all the boxes with it and junk. :)

The games I'm looking forward to the most...
Kameo Elements of Power - After seeing the video and reading all about it this sounds to be too good, best damn game by Rare in development.
Mario Sunshine - It's Mario, it's magic, it's going to be too good and you can ride Yoshi! Bonus!
Mario Kart - One of the Best games ever
Zelda - Another one of those best games ever, plus it's got a new spin on the graphics/play etc. New experience for all, wahoo!
Final Fantasy - Back on Nintendo, after reading Sibs topic it seems as though it may have a few changes battle wise, still who cares, FF games have some of the best stories going, I love fantasty stories, especially when I can play them.
Tony Hawks 4 - Because I've always loved these games, lots of replay value in them.
Turok 4 - Because it's Turok and he says "I am Turok!", great stuff.
Eternal Darkness - It's something new, it's nintendo, it's going to be great.
And maybe Starfox and Resident Evil, I need to read more about these. There's probably more but I can't think of them right now, Pikmin 2 maybe?

ed - gad.
tetris - dirt cheap.
4 1/2 to pay for released before 2k3

Actually, that doesn't look too bad, at least for now.
Smb2 won't be here for a while i think, so there's really only 5 must-haves for me before 2003.
Still a lot, but could have been worse (more expensive) :^)
