maybe if they dont use the stupid controllers like N64 had, they were made for little kid hands, it sucked.

BS. I've never had problem with them, and I don't have kid's hands.

Either way, they're more like the SNES controller than the N64 controller (if you can compare them to something, they're quite different)

i wont get it because i have never liked that kinda game, but it still looks cool.

they developed I whole new controller for the cube, supposedly its like nothing else out there, and is an excellent gaming controller...it looks very weird though.

don't get me started ranting and raving about the Cube...it kicks PS2's scrawny ass, and spits in X box's face....the Cube is the best thing on the market (or soon to be anyway) You want a system with gizoms and gadgets get a PS2, you can have a game console that works crappy and a DVD that works just as well...get a Cube, and you are getting a gaming system, not something that slices and dices too

oh and one more thing...the release price is $199.00...and what was the PS2's? they don't give a shit about the gamer...they just milk you for all they can...Nintendo focused on gameplay, and game quality...not on how to put in a DVD...sure the option is there for you suckers that want it though

*deep breath*

The Cube is my God

--------------------

Oh you can expect that, everyone's mad here, you may have noticed I'm not exactly all together myself

i don't think its better than the xbox
but i can't really say much cause there isn't really any evidence of me playing either

but graphics wise nvidia>ati

ati's flipper blows goats supposedly. but if they were to put their newest chip in the cube . . . then that'd be a different story

Ati does have some better chips than nVidia, but they suck in the driver department for PC's.

The XBox's paper specs list it technically superior to both the GameCube & PS2, but from everything I've heard, the GameCube is by far the easyest to program (powerfully) for. In the middle of developing the GameCube, Nintendo paused, took a look at what was out, and coming out, and said "Screw it, we're not going to compete for speed and graphics. We're going to make a system that is easy to make good games for, and is easy to play them on". And so far, it looks like they've succeeded. Not only is it cheap,(I've seen XBoxs w/ 2 controllers & 3 games going for $550, while GameCube w/ 2 controllers for $230), but every game I've seen for it looks awesome.

1) Nintendo has a thing about putting out crappy games.. 90% of the games are pokimon related. or something to that effect.

2) No dvd/cd ... its not even a normal size disk.

3) After the developers get there hands on the x-box there will be some cool looking games. it has a lot of potential.

4) keep in mind the ps2 came out a year ago.

the game cube is a step up, but not quite there yet.

For the N64, it only seemed true because those were the games that got all the marketing. Nintendo realized that most people thought of the N64 as a kiddie platform, and are trying to stay away from that with the GC.

IMO, that's a good thing. Instead of worrying, and being criticed on DVD preformance, etc, they're concentrating on being a gaming machine. Non normal sized disk is good too, because it means that it'll be a while before the games are pirated, because, even if a drive can read them, it'll be a while longer for that size recordable disk to be made

Granted, but the system is SOOOO ugly looking. I've seen one in person before (visted a MS Game studio). It's like a frickin car amp.

Dru .. most of those games are coming out on other consols too. and atari started it all for me.

scoobster - no dvd support means no dvd games.. which are being developed.. which means more game play and more room for movies/sounds/extras/ ect. plus you can already buy that size cdr and cdrw's. i dont think it is ugly, just big.

Actually, the tiny disc is a 1/2 sized proprietary DVD, not a CD. IIRC, it holds somewhere around 2+gigs.
