I would like to hear your comments on 'IS THIS THE END OF THE GAMECUBE' ideas include the new price of the Cube, and why Nintendo aren't selling that many units, is it because the stupid gaps between Japanese and UK releases?? All your opinions are welcome..... Also is the price of the Gamecube telling us that nearly all retailers aren't bothered about the Gamecube anymore or is it just a marketing scam?? :)

Better not bloody die out anytime soon - I just forked out for one and I want my F-Zero or Nintendo staff are gonna fly.

Anyway, theres still plenty of them sold so I doubt it'll happen. I think Nintendo need to get some more games on the release schedule though. Would be nice if Konami bring the Castlevania and Contra series (in its Probotector form of course).
The Snes has some excellent games on it - basically I think developers should be bringing back some of their classics and updating them. Just like the 2 I mentioned. A Castlevania game would definatly be welcome in my collection. :-)

Thing is, its probably just me but I didn't enjoy the 3D versions on the N64 as much as I did the old 2D versions. I think the same can be said for the likes of Zelda. When you get too clever with 3D and the freedom to explore, things can get annoying or boring as you keep missing vital stuff because you didn't run 5 miles in the right direction.
A Link To The Past on the Snes was excellent in my opinion. I did like OOT on the N64, but at the same time, too much freedom kept having me worried that I'd missed tons of stuff so I ended up wasting time double checking areas and running around more than I'd like.

Although I'm not over the moon with Zelda's Cell shading appearance, I think it might return some of the balance between looking fancy and not being too overwhelming. Just keep thinking that Link could have looked better though. Cell shading is fine by me, it can even look damn good, but I don't like the "style" of Link. Feels like they've shoved Henry's Cat into lush scenary.
Oh well, maybe I'm digging at nothing and it'll end up being the nuts of a game when I start playing it in May.

If I was to mention everything, I'd be the All Time Top Poster for word count.

I agree completely. You just wait- look at all the AAA titles coming out this year, it really WILL be the year of the Gamecube (Plus the releases of Advance Wars 2, Golden Sun 2 etc on GBA- so it's the year of Nintendo, really)


Have that. :D

This isn't the end of the Gamecube.

Nintendo have just finally got around to taking their heads out of their arsses, and are actually becoming very competetive.

It's just the beginning...

you forgot to mention all the money that's give to the assilum (sp?) seekers by the goverment and their pathtic justice system.
