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

To tell you the truth I have both consoles, but I find i like the Gamecube the most coz I have more favourite games on there than the GBA.

But my GBA favs are definetly Golden Sun 1 + 2, since i am big RPG fan.
Gc on the other hand has loads more some of which have already been mentioned earlier, but ome like Eternal Darkness and Super Samsh bros Melee need some mentioning too.

with so many great titles available on the cube and a whole load set to come just before christmas, i think that the gamecube will be the more rewarding choice.

titles worth buying on Gba:

all the super mario worlds
advance wars 1 and 2
golden sun 1 and 2
pokemon ruby + saphire

titles worth buying on cube:

zelda the windwaker + ocarina of time
soul calibur
mario kart
f zero
viewtiful joe
fifa 2004
metroid prime
super smash bros melee
rogue leader 1 + 2
monkey ball 1 + 2
ture crime
skies of arcadia

Yes Gamecube is a top console...

Top software.

You won't be dissapointed.

Is that what you want to hear?

Or do you want me to rave about how great Mario Sunshine, Zelda: Wind Waker, Metroid Prime, Viewtiful joe and Pikmin is.

You get the picture.
