Think about it. It's a year off. We don't even have a release date for it yet. And yes, it will be great, yes it'll be the best thing ever and yes, I will be getting one.

In the mean time, forget about it. Time will pass quicker and if you get too excited, you'll only end up disappointed.

Now look at the Dreamcast. A brilliant console which you can now get cheaply and will easily keep you occupied until Nintendo's colourful Cube comes out.

People can rave about the Dreamcast if they want but the topic will start to get a bit stale.

As for the Dreamcast, with my all important GCSE's coming up, I've decided to wait until June 19 when they finish.

And current Dreamcast owners? If you haven't got powerstone, Sr are selling it for a mere Ł7.99

Oh, you've already got it? I should've known...

I've had enough of 2D Pokemon, let alone trying to imagine it in 3D.

I think the right to rave about anything is fair game on the forums, so it's kinda nice to see people raving about the GC, even though it's mostly hype and speculation.

I won't be getting one though, the predominant prejudice about the N64 being cutesy and aimed at the younger gamer still carries over to the GC, and if Nintendo want to prevent this prejudice spilling over from lots of people, they'd better start doing something about it now!

I agree but, I heard on the News that there is a VERY high chance that Sega Europe will be HALVING the price of all PAL Dreamcasts, in the very near future, I don't want to get one until then unless I win it!

But Yes, the Gamecube is quite a way off but We can still get excited because it will be out in Japan very soon and we can see in-game videos and hopefully be updated on what to expect in terms of Release Date games.

I don't think that the game will be called Luigi's Mansion, it will me something with more of a Title like Luigi and the House of Horrors or Mansion of Mystery.

Regardless of title I can't wait but I am not wetting myself, I will get Conker's BFD for the gameaday thing and go halves with my little brother for Banjo-Tooie and then I will be sorted until I get a DC or Dinosaur Planet comes out...Speaking of DP........??!?!?!?!?!?

People say Nintendo are out...No Way, there is even a chance of a 3D Pokémon game for the GBA, Imagine a Sonic 3D-ish Pokemon Adventure Game, it could be based on the ones from the film and TV series!
