Xbox is my choice. Games like Halo, Ralisport Challenge (best racing game I've ever played), Amped: Freestyle Snowboarding (best snowboarding game I've ever played), DoA3, plus, many, many more due out later this year and watch the E3 announcments. Very impressive. There's more Xbox games coming out in the near future that I'm interested in than PS2 and Gamecube combined.
That sounds better :)Quote:

You stick to a worthy argument, but a lot of people still find Super Smash Brothers and other games pretty fun. Try some of them.
Heh my SNES is the only system I have left... sold all the rest in favor of keeping my game fetish limited to PC's.
But I'd go with the X-Box. Their list of third party developers looks very promising and programmers actually *enjoy* coding on it. Why? Because it IS a PC essentially and any major programmer out there was brought up coding for PC's. Plus, I hear that the PS2 and its Emotion Engine is a bizatcho to program for.
I agree with the Gamecube concerns. Metroid, SMB and Zelda were glorious in their 2D days and seeing them in 3D gives me aneurysms. I really liked how Konami stuck to old skool with Castlevania: Symphony of the Night by staying 2D on the PS1.
3D..? This is nothing new, am I supposed to be impressed? It's all about fun dammit.. FUN. DAMMIT I WANT MY FUN. :mad:
Oh.. I mean.. :D
I suggest the PS/2 :)
What good would a mouse port do for someone in need of a console system ? :confused: :pQuote:

the only reason i see for calling the gamecube a kiddie machine is if your friend buys the *** *** purple one (which no one i know has)Quote:

i would personally go with ps2 though
i would go for the ps2 because of its wide selection of games. xbox doesnt have much games that really stand out and the gamecube is aimed at a younger audience. unless your going to carry your console alot, buy a gamecube but my recommendation is ps2 :D
Not really. Not when you got games like RE, ED, PD, TH, MP that are exclusive to GC, and yes they are in the "mature" catagory. I can also guarantee you there will be more, many more since Nintendo is ditching the "kiddie" image.Quote:

And what category had the best selling games last generation? That's right, it was the "kiddie" category.
What was that "worthy argument" were you talking about?
Thanks for all the opinions people, it does help me! :) If I'm going to get a console, it's most likely it will be a X-box. I figured out that the reason why I want a Gamecube is that I want more of the gameplay that Zelda, Super Metroid and Mario had for the SNES, and I don't think the new Zelda/Metroid/Mario games will give me that. Sure, it will me more of the good, since it's the sequels, but it won't be the same, and that is what I'm looking for.
Word. :)Quote:

stick with the Nintendo, buy GameCube.
What about the gameboy games? Can you play these on the gamecube?
They still have that old school feel. Which ones will work? Advanced,
Color, or gameboy? I also am looking for a system. More for my son.
Thanks.
Nope. None of the above. Be kinda hard to jam a Gameboy Cart into an Optical Drive :rolleyes:Quote:

good choice sticking with the SNES all those years, nothing beats it to this day :D Anyway, i'd say go with the Gamecube or PS2. PS2 has a lot of great games right now(GTA3, Devil May Cry, Twisted Metal Black, THPS3), but Gamecube has a lot of great-looking games coming out in the near future(Starfox, Zelda, Metroid) as well as some great ones now(Rogue Leader, Pikmin, SSBM, Resident Evil)
LMAO :D At least I got it :cool:Quote:
