I thought about getting one last Christmas but then I realized I already own all those old Zelda games in their original format, SSX Tricky is probably better than 1080 Avalanche, and sonic Heroes is available on PS2. -- Ramen Junkie

I've been considering getting one for a while now, but even though it's only $100, there's only 5 or 6 games I'd really be interested in, half of them are on the ps2, and my funds keep getting held up with silly expenses like food, clothes, and rent. Maybe I'll bug my parents to send me one for my next birthday.

Definitely worth a purchase even for the single-player mode, the multiplayer is gravy on an already great game. :)

Of course, the most advanced console in my household is a PS1, so I doubt I will ever know.

Oh yeah, Metroid, Eternal Darkness and Resident Evil are so kiddy. Oh Zelda is a cartoon....who cares how great or deep the gameplay is. Don't get me wrong, PS2 is a great console to, but come on, Gamecube is worth it for the 1st party titles alone, let alone games like FF:CC and Viewtiful Joe. Sure, there are games at at only children on it, but there is on PS2 also. What's wrong with you Anti-Nintendo people anyway? Sure Nintendo does put out some stupid sh.t like the E-Reader, but Sony pulls stupid crap like only putting two contoller ports on its system. All the systems and companies have their flaws and strengths. (Well, except the N-Gage)

[quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > All the systems and companies have their flaws and strengths. (Well, except > the N-Gage) I don't think anyone (sane) would deny the greatness of Metroid/Zelda/Mario/etc. The thing is, that's all the GC HAS. I don't even care if games are 'kiddy' - if they're good I'll play 'em. I loved Animal Crossing, Zelda, Metroid Prime, but thought Mario Sunshine was a disappointment, albeit still a good game. It's that everything else for the system sucks, and the whole GC/GBA connectivity thing is the dumbest, most poorly executed idea since Sega's Genesis add-ons. How can Nintendo think that this is such a great idea? Dreamcast used the same idea much, much better by using it to call plays in sports games.
I hope Nintendo quits making consoles and concentrates on games and the GBA.
