Right...heres the deal....
Without getting too hectic on people and freaking anyone out, i suffer from small panic attacks at times, and because of this my girlfriend wants to get me a GBA, as playing games seems to calm me down. Also i can obviously play this anywere aswell.

But I am seriously being persuaded by the new price tag on the game cube consoles and games though, and the games that are currently being released on it.
Ive got the N64 with all the classic games, and an original gameboy, so my question is, which console do ya reckon i should get? Do ya reckon the game cube will last?

Also what do people think of both consoles?
Im an old gamer so please dont rip me apart and take the pee cos id just like an honest answer, as ill i seem to get from other sites is crap!
Much apprieciated people, and reply's would be nice

Wario Ware Inc. is a new release and it bloomin' great. Addictive is the word to describe it. You will put it down then pick it up 2 minutes later. It includes 200 'microgames' and bucket of stuff to unlock.
And if you are buying a GBA, get a GBASP.

My girlfriend has Metroid Fusion and Mario Kart, both of which are excellent.

And i believe that the proper English pronounciation is 'ar$e'; leave 'ass' to those bleedin' yanks.

Looks like someone didn't take their grammar pills yesterday. It's "you are AN ass, not "you are a ass".

Well if they want to insult us why cant they do it with high calibre grammar? that would make us listen.

Welcome to SR.
The 'cube' is fantastic and theres no way you will ever be disappointed. Games that are must haves are:-

ETERNAL DARKNESS
BURNOUT 2
ZELDA WW
MARIO KART DOUBLE DASH (released 14th Oct)
F ZERO GX (released tomorrow)
1080 AVALANCHE (released 28th Nov me thinks!)
SUPER MARIO SUNSHINE
SUPER MONKEY BALL 1 & 2
WAVE RACE BLUE STORM
The list is endless...........

Not sure about the GBA. Havent actually got one but have played a mates and it was pretty cool. If I were you though i'd go for the GBA SP (or is that the one you meant)!!

Yeh sure, the Gamecube has had a rocky few months but all us 'Nintys' are pretty sure that the horizon holds better things!

Let us know which one you decide to buy.

It definately has a good chance of comin out on top of the market but unless ninty get some good advertsing campaigns going for these exclusive games we can expect the gamecube to be over shadowed and thrusted back into a corner by the other consoles.

7 months ago, certain cynical people (who shall remain nameless) stated that the gamecube would be dead within 6 months. Now the GC is looking at going into its second christmas, this time with easilly the strongest lineup on any format.

The GC should have a powerhouse Christmas. Not that it wasn't worth buying for numerous other reasons, of course.
