The gamecube has seemed to be looking better than expected today in the gaming world. It seems that more titles have been confirmed and are definetly going to be a smash hit, but will the gamecube go cute like the n64? Hopefully not this time because there are some titles already on the way that can be said to be a hit such as Zelda 128 and Mario 128. The gamecube is going to bring us slick streaming graphics that will make us think we are in a dream cube of reality.

The gamecube compared to the xbox has a even run for best selling. Due to gaecubes quality seal of nintendo and past performances of their consoles and actions, but one thing that has astonished gamers is its size! the gamecube not even being taller than a gameboy and not even wide as a regular n64 is asked this "how can something so small generate so much power" simple, I don't know the exact info., but what can be said its the future of gaming.

Will the gamecube be a smash hit seller in the future? Or would it just be a rumor gone bad? Only the future knows what to hold in the future, because the gamecube is the future of gaming.

True, I know nothing at all about the Game Boy Advance. But then that's just because I'm not interested in the Game Boy Advance, except for when the opportunity to make a wise-crack arises. Insert the words 'exterior packaging' for 'cover' in my last post.

Then you've obviously not seen the GBA which does not have "32" printed on it and you haven't seen the games which are definately better than 16 bit!

I think that the GBA is the PS2 of handheld gaming.

That might be good news or bad news. It depends on how you look at it.

As for Nintendo characters, Nintendo are modifying them to be less cute. Like they were back in the days of the Snes.

As long as Mario is small, grows when he gets a mushroom and becomes small again when he gets hit, I'm happy!

Nintendo, they are a bunch of charachters, they don't seems to know what they're doing, I bet they do, 'never count Nintendo out' said Sega's Head of....something or other, but you know what although I am a Nintendo fan, I agree with him...

...I don't think that the N64 was a failure, Nintendo still made their money and they are now 4 times richer because of Pokémon....they have loads of money and if they put even a fraction of that into the gamecube then they are sure to make it a success, the thing is release games, if the console is cheap enough and the games are there when it is released thenm all will be fine but if the NGC suffers a slow start in the same way the N64 did then basically Nintendo are buggered....

But if Nintendo do fail, to whom will all the fans swith their allegance....I mean, I don't think it will be Sony....because they are now arch rivals, maybe Sega but hold on they are screwed too, surely not Microsoft....MAYBE!!!

Microsoft's X-Box, as you now know was made for, with and by gamers...this could be the key to the success that many are predicting. I don't know, admittedly, of all the companies that have signed up with Microsoft, EA is one and that it as far as my knowledge will take be, but all jokes aside, I still think that Microsoft is the way to go with all Nintendo fans, but mind you...there will never be that spark that Mario gives off, and HEY HEY HEY, what am I talking about...Nintndo are far from dead, the gamecube is sure to be a success, and hey remembner that little things called the GBA..YES.that has presold millions all over the world....Nintendo have plenty of years to come so old Billy-O can hold on to his pounds and pennies for a good few years yet!

Well said about Nintendo being the future of gaming!

Sega have said that even though it looks like Nintendo are finished with Sony's success and the X-box, Nintendo still have a lot to offer us yet

(something like that anyway)
