its obvious that gamecube sucks when they have to lower prices alll the way down to $99 to sell thier over-stocked product.

i mean, zelda and Metroid are hot games for the cube, but thats all it has that i'd be interested in.



by the way, the thing has a handle, so it can be carried around like a purse and has a game called super monkey's balls. I mean, i would like to play with monkey's balls, but gamecube is the homosexual one here, not me :D

1. IMO gamecube doesnt suck, it's games are just aimed at a different demographic(sp?)
2. It has the handle so it is portable (not ment to be held like a purse. Besides purses open on top not out the side)
3.It's Super Monkey Ball <----notice no "S"
4. Just because this is an xbox site doesnt mean that everyone hates other systems.

Doesnt suck, just doesnt compare. When you got xbox live, halo, rainbow six 3, it knocks the competition dead!

Wait wait wait... you would like to play with monkey balls? What a fruit... j/k

Anyways... GC is an OK system. Just because you dont like it doesnt mean other people dont. There is a need for kids systems out there man. Personally I would never buy one but whatever...

a little bit more than a game, might be worth buying!

I dont find its a bad system. Sure there are a lot of kiddie games on it, but there some cool games worth playing. I bought mine mainly for metroid and zelda (those are the only two games i have at the moment), but there are some other games that i plan on picking up once i have the money and the time to play them. Such games include Super Smash Brothrs Melee, Mario Kart Double Dash, Mario Party, the Resident Evil re-makes

Actually i am trading in my gameboy sp because i am bored of it and it's medicore overpriced games. I am planning on getting a used or cheap gamecube with store credit or something.

F Zero GX(I love futuristic racers)
go go hypergrind(love the cell shaded and looks like JSRF)
metroid prime(looks really good)
mario kart double dash(looks fun addictive and i loved it on 64)

I hear veiwtful joe is f**king hard to i will stay away

its just the lack of games...they have a very small library...they do have great games, but at the same time this system has to be your 2nd system in the house as the lack of games kill it. need more 3rd party support

IMHO, the Game Cube is a very good console.
It has some great games for it, like Animal Crossing, Pikmin, Mario Kart DD, Super Monkey Ball, Ikaruga, F-Zero GX, Sega Soccer Slam, Doshin The Giant, Beach Spikers Volleyball, etc, etc.

How is Ikaruga? I have heard from a number of people that it is a good game, but no one has it to rent, and i dont want to buy a game without ever playing it.

I'd rather have a gamecube than a ps2.

Here a link to Ikaruga site (http://www.ikaruga-atari.net/en/)

Enter Treasure, a company known for not exactly going by the book in terms of design and art direction -- just look at some of its past products like Rakugaku Showtime or Stretch Panic if you don't believe us. Its latest game, Ikaruga, is a combination of Radiant Silvergun with gameplay ripped from Silhouette Mirage.

You will find a lot more about this game, if you click on the screen shot :D
This game was also in the Arcades & on the Dreamcast in Japan.

hmm i dont think gc sux, just hasn't really got any good games on it, as its mostly aimed towards kids. But i was contimplating getting one when the price drops next. Its almost the price of a game here haha. I basically just want it for resident evil. Enjoyed it on *cough*playstation*cough so ya.

Why are idiots like you permitted to speak? About you wanting to play with monkey balls, yes I'm pretty sure thats makes you not only a homosexual but also a beastiality fan, sicko. I also doubt that a gaming system can be homosexual.

I am not planning on getting a gamecube after all. All my summer money is gone and there is no work around here so to afford games i need cash which i am short of so another system would be too much and too expensive to get more games for. I am gonna spend that money on doom 3, fable, the suffering, sonic heros and maybe B.C. or half life 2.

D00D that was perfect... I was gonna write that, saw your post, and decided to do this.

That is perfectly right. I dont like gamecube much either. But im not against it. Its aimed at Family and Kids. I like the Idea, but most kids dont have a lot of money, and most dads dont play video games, so they naturally have a tougher market. Ps2 balances that and maturer games too. XBOX, for the majority is targeted at older kids... Not all games, but lots!

Man alive I love my GC. I have played the hell out of all the big titles for it and the mario parties have been the only games my Wife will play with me. We have ppl up even now playing this game. I cant wait for many of the new GC games that are comming out, like Crystal Cronicals, the new Metroid, ect.. Anyway IMO the cube is great.

no offence but there doesn't seam to be much in the cubes future other then the absolute huge games like metroid 2, some zelda game. Then there are pikman 2, and metal gear solid. Xbox has huge games like halo2, half life 2, fable, ninja gaiden. Then there are full spectrum warrior, doom 3, b.c., rally sport challenge 2, star wars knights of the old republic, jade empire etc. maybe there are more anticipated games then that for gamecube but in mags and websites i don't see any.

You know, if this kid came in here saying the same thing about the Xbox, this thread would already be closed.

Anyway, you're only missing out if you write off a system because it comes with a handle, but you're just a kid and you're parents didn't buy you a GC so therefore you hate it. By the way, Super Monkey Balls is a great game that I wish was on the Xbox so I could play its minigames online.

Why wouldnt the game cube lower its prices. It always was about $50 lower than xbox and ps2. Starting a hate thread is wrong. but hey, good time.

I am thinking about getting a game cube. Anybody has some advice for some games to get if i get it. Only games i am thinking about is the resident evil games. I am currently trying to beat code varonica X for my ps2. How come in RE titles there is never enough damn ammo. WTF im supose to do, fight em with a knife.
