First Sony piz-owned the living BeJesus out of the Nintendo 64, and now the Xbox is taking a crap all over the Nintendo GameCube's sales. For the second consecutive time, Nintendo is reminded that their console products are no longer welcome in the market. Though somehow Nintendo feels assured that their system is still a success, which it isn't. The GameCube is a failure in my eyes, and even worse than the N64 was. Nintendo has lost Rare, their 3rd party support is quickly dwindling down significantly (Sega Sports games axed, four titles cancelled in less than a month), and worst of all, Nintendo's 1st party efforts are severly lacking.

1) Super Smash Bros. - Great game
2) Pikmin - Couldn't stand it
3) Eternal Darkness - Played it half way, never touched it again
4) Super Mario Sunshine - WTF HAPPENED?!
5) Metroid Prime - Most overrated game EVER!
6) Star Fox Adventures - UGH! Worst pacing in a Nintendo game ever.

The only reason I still have my GC is because I play Zelda: Ocarine of Time on it, and I'm waiting for Zelda: TWW. As far as next-gen consoles go, I'm FAR more happy with my Xbox than I am with my GameCube. ...Come to think of it, I'm far more happy with my Dreamcast than my GameCube.

nice shirt

man i was so psyched to get that, then so disappointed when i played it. im still holding onto my Cube though, although its got about an inch of dust on it.

Haha. I remember when you first got your Gamecube you were so excited Arnold. It was a black one if I remember correctly, and you bought it in New York. Am I right? Anyways I totally agree, Gamecube is stuck in a downward spiral.

Arnold it is true so what's the difference. I agree with You Arnold nintendo did bad but i disagree on one thing. I beleive Metroid Prim was everything i thought it would be and more. I loved and hell no it was not overrated IMO.

Personally, I'm satisfied with my Gamecube considering I expected this from Nintendo. I fully enjoy it's first-party lineup, and the RE games. I myself like the fact that the games have spread out releases. This allows me not to have to much overcrowding on my game-buying queue. I'm just saying this merely works good for ME. Obviously the Cube would be a horrible choice for a first console. However, you kind of have to examine Nintendo's market which, admittedly is children. Parents don't really want to be buying new games every month, and I think that the delays work as a sort of window of time for the kid to get bored as hell with whatever game he has, and then put another 3-4 months into another lengthy Nintendo title. In any case to reiterate, as a second system, to my Ps2 nonetheless, it couldn't be better for myself.

I have the same feelings as well Lazer. I thought it was one of the best deliverings of a thought-provoking, explorative, and all around fun game. Pretty damn awesome for a first game from Retro Studios.
