"What A Line-Up!"

Just been looking over the Christmas release schedule, and I have to say, the festive season does look the one to be jolly for 'Cube owners this year. In my opinion, quite easily the best Xmas exclusive line-up out of the three consoles and I don't think many can argue with that. In fact, with an intelligent price-cut and some decent bundle deals, Nintendo could "win" the Christmas sales over here in Europe; sailing past Microsoft and perhaps even Sony. Take a look at what's to come (I've picked out the highlights);

AUGUST/SEPTEMBER

Product Number 03
Xtreme G Racing Association
WWE X9
True Crime: Streets of LA
Soul Calibur II

OCTOBER/NOVEMBER

Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life
Viewtiful Joe
Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg
F-Zero GX
Star Wars Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike
Beyond Good & Evil
Medal of Honour: Rising Sun
Prince of Persia
Tom Clancey's Rainbow Six: Raven Shield
XIII
Tiger Woods 2004
James Bond: Everything or Nothing
Mario Kart: Double Dash
Pikmin 2
Tony Hawk Underground

DECEMBER

1080 Avalanche
FIFA 2004
Metal Gear Solid
Pokemon Colosseum
Phantasy Star Online III
Return of the King
Sonic Heroes
SSX 3
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Bit of a duff topic, I know, but things haven't exactly been very interesting in here lately, have they? Anyway.. I reckon things look really good for GameCube on paper - everything now relies on those release dates holding strong, and a good strategy from Nintendo. So, what are you guys looking forward to? And what are your predictions for the GameCube this Christmas?

The Rick Waller olympics games?

Can't wait for the hurdles... ;)

Anyway, back to the games...

Rick Waller wouldn't have flopped off a diving board... he would have crushed it into the ground.

Other than Turtles, XGRA, True Crime, James Bond, Pokemon, Metal Gear Solid, Fifa 2004, Lord of the Rings and Pokemon. I want them all.

You missed out the best of the bunch though SIMPSONS : HIT AND RUN.

Damn, so many games I want, I'll probably only end up getting 1080 and MGS out of those Maybes (even though I hated the first one).

October and November is looking like a amazing couple of months.

Prince of Persia, BG & E and Raven Shield won't be coming out this year.

One's gone Xbox ezxclusive and the other 2 are PS2 exclusive for the first 6 months.

I'll be wainting these;

> Soul Calibur II
> Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life
> Viewtiful Joe
> F-Zero GX
> Star Wars Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike
> Medal of Honour: Rising Sun
> XIII
> Mario Kart: Double Dash
> Pikmin 2
> 1080 Avalanche
> FIFA 2004
> Metal Gear Solid

And i'll probably only be able to afford a few, but i can claim some of the later ones for Xmas presents.

I'll be wanting these:

Xtreme G Racing Association
True Crime: Streets of LA
Soul Calibur II
Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life
Viewtiful Joe
F-Zero GX
Star Wars Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike
Beyond Good & Evil - I thought this was canned???
Medal of Honour: Rising Sun
Prince of Persia
XIII
Tiger Woods 2004
Mario Kart: Double Dash
Pikmin 2
Tony Hawk Underground
1080 Avalanche
Metal Gear Solid
Phantasy Star Online III
Return of the King
SSX 3

But will probably only be able to afford these:
1080 Avalanche
SSX 3
Viewtiful Joe
Mario Kart: Double Dash
Soul Calibur II

Soul Calibur II (maybe)
F-Zero GX
Mario Kart: Double Dash
Medal of Honour: Rising Sun (maybe)
Star Wars Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike
1080 Avalanche/SSX 3
Metal Gear Solid
FIFA 2004 (maybe)

Hmm thats enough but dont forget CDS 2 is out aswell!
