The GC is probably the most underrated console in history. If Nintendo had released more games, it would've been even better. Even so, a corpus of exclusive releases including LOZ: The Wind Waker, F Zero GX, Super Smash Brothers, Metroid Prime, Animal Crossing, Paper Mario, Pokemon Colisseum and the actually quite fun although I will not admit it, dammit Mario Golf is nothing to be ashamed of, and pulps the PS2/X Box exclusives list (Halo and Dead or Alive: Gone too far with the breast bouncing physics on X-Pox, and the underrated Wipeout Fusion, the overrated FFX, and Metal Gear I want to shoot something now, not run around and hide again Solid on the PS2).

I love my GC. It could easily have been the best console of it's generation, if only it had the third party software support it deserved. Granted it looks like Fisher-Price 'My First Console' (especially in it's original purple) and brightly coloured buttons...but the quality of it's exclusive games is fantastic. It's also a pitty that the GBA connectivity was not more frequently used...oodles of potential there, that I hope will finally be realised through the Wii/DS combination.

They say a picture conveys a thousand words, so I suppose this one is suffice.



And I love my Gamecube to bits. *goes off to play Pikmin 2 again*

I bought a GBA just for use with Crystal Chronicles. I wasn't too happy afterwards. Crystal bloody Chronicles.

I like my GC too. Hopefully many of the games will be reduced in price over the next few months to make way for the Wii.

How can someone mis-spell pwned?! It's so famous because of the spelling mistake, so WHY!? ;_;

Didn't know so many fans like the Gamecube, It really hard to get hold of any new or old games for it now.

Last new game I played was Chibi Robo which my sis brought.

Games that forced you to use the GBA connection like FF:CC and I think Zelda: Four Swords(?) really p*sses me off because then you can't play multiplayer without another GBA. So I skip both games but I realllly wanted them.

I usually check polls at gamefaq.com, since E3 the polls shows PS3 is unpopular while Wii is.

Oh yer... Randomness nice pic lol

i'm pissed off that they have done this, but it looks to be the PAL release not only Europe. which is OZ and Russia and parts of China.

this isn't really bad for them as they will still have the same following regardless of what people say, the fan boys will always want it, but wouldn't it look even worse for Sony if they done what MS did with the 360 and allowed dodgy parts to be used and then have to recall them.

Is it true PS3 games will be £50 a piece ?. Not sure if I'll be getting a next gen console anytime soon, can't afford any of them.

Fanboys only make up a small portion of the market. Children and honda civic driving chavs make up a much bigger portion.

I don't think what you say about the following is true personally.
You do have the fanboys and so on, but games like GTA have a lot to do with it too, and those looking for stuff like that this Christmas will find that on the 360.

If enough gamers turn to the 360 in the next few months, Sony could find themselves struggling.

The problem with that is that people don't know that the PS3's parts will be fine when we get them.
The PS3 has been dogged with problems already and it's incorporating new tech, which is always unstable in it's first couple of years.
That itself is enough reason for concern, but combined with the PS2's history, there's not much to inspire confidence.

This could very easily wind up being the company's Saturn.

very true, the games that are not on the PS3 only will not sell as well, but there will be the titles that will stand out. MG is one of them.

the PS2's and the PSP's release were both flawed, i remeber that the PSP was ment to be out in july and it didn't come out till sept 1st, it still sold a shed load and is more then likely to be the market leader, same with the PS2.

I've seen lots of PSP ads. Mainly on the side of buses.

My PSP makes me feel ill when I play it

The small screen and lots of motion... games like Pro Evo 5, Dynasty Warriors and Death Jr have given me mild motion sickness.

However, when the game is made for the PSP (e.g Wipeout Pure, Ape Academy) it tends to be ok. I think it's possibly an issue of lack of thought when doing ports.
