BongoBob Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 I have finally saved up enough money for a next gen system. I can't get an x-Box, unfortunately. But I am getting a gamecube, and a whole bunch of my friends have it, so I can trade games with them. Not only that, but I am getting THUG, a BIGG huge memory card, a wabvebird, and the free Zelda disk(The first two on NES, and the two on 64). My mom won't let me get an x-box(she says that there are too many violent games on it ), but I don't care! I finally get a next-gen console! And I get it tomarrow! So if I am not on here for a good month or so, It's either because my sniper failed to protect me, or I am playing games. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D YAY! EDIT:Let me rephrase that. I saved up enough money for a gamecube. My parents and relatives are buying me everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troopr-Undr-Fir Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 He thats why its good to live alone (to where you can buy what you want when you want it), but sadly it has a draw back, the money is needed to buy all this...but I'm saving for a cable line so screw consoles ...although If I did have the money for the xbox and the cable line I would do that because of all the pimp ass games for that system. And for your presious gamecube, the only games that would be worth playing is the Rouge Squadron games, and oh the new mariokart...cause the old one was hours of fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBell Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Oof, too bad you couldn't get the XBox. I own a Gamecube aswell, but I'm selling it soon. Too many kiddy games released for it for my tastes. Now the XBox has some kick@ss games on it, including the upcoming Deus Ex:Invisible war, and True Crime:Streets of LA, both of which are packed with gaming goodness;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkLord60 Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Well I own XBOX, PS2, and I am getting Gamecube for Christmas. Anyway to my point, PS2 is outdated I think the graphics suck and processor 233mhz. XBOX is great but is limited on good games, graphics are the best and processor is 733mhz. Gamecube has lots a games although some are very kiddy like. Graphics are very good but XBOX could do better, graphics powered by ATI. Processor in 400mhz range. Overall I am sick of the consoles I have so I am getting gamecube really for Rogue Leader and Rebel Strike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It contains the first Legend of Zelda, Zelda II, Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. Extra incentive for buying a Gamecube, especially for Zelda fanatics. I've had a Gamecube since Christmas of 2001, and it's been a blast to play. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do, BongoBob! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrion Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Resident Evil, Viewtiful Joe, Rebel Strike, Eternal Darkness,Metriod Prime, ect. are all kiddy games, huh? Besides, the more kid-geared games are pretty cool(Mario Kart: Double Dash for instance, as well as Wind Waker). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man alive...those were all classics and utterly amazing fun to play, I have fond memories of each You may just have helped tip me in favour of finally getting a GC myself Never! Of course, Wind Waker is also unbelievably good, well worth getting a GC for alone perhaps... Who has the coolest Avatar, Bell or Tyrion? If I was bored enough to create a top 10, they'd both be in there TBH, I'm glad I'm not THAT bored... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toms Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 the GC is a great system, and has some pretty awesome games (playing viewtiful joe while i wait for soul calibur to arrive). Nintendo on the other hand are making horrendous marketing decisions with it. WHY have they only brought out 1 online game, it must be obvious by now that xbox live was a good idea. why do they insist on annoying all other publishers, and why didn't they make an N64 player? THe second zelda bonus disk has annoyed me too, i went and payed extra for Wind Waker to get Ocarina of time, and now they are giving it away with Majora's Mask TOO, so now i have to buy games like mario kart that i don't want, just to get it. grrr... Oh, and why isn't Sands of TIme out yet on GC???!? grrr!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topshot Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 G'luck getting a 'Cube, Bob! XBox and PS2 consoles may be good, but do their Soul Caliburs have Link in 'em? Oh no they don't! While Spawn may be the goods for the XBox version of SC, and Halo may be kicking arse, "Joe", Sonic, Samus, Link, Kirby (Yeah, I like "Air Ride." So what?), Maxi, Mega Man (Not that Network Transmission crap! I'm talkin' about the collection of classic Mega Man games coming out!), and Mario bring the music!

RoxStar Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 In my opinion, Gamecube owns XBOX anyway, they're both good, its just that I believe that Gamecube is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BongoBob Posted November 26, 2003 Author Share Posted November 26, 2003 Well, I have $93 in the savings account right now, as I tyhpe. I am later going to my local gamestop and selling my: Unreal Tournament(Original, not gold version or 2k3) Return to Castle Wolfenstein(Beat it many a times and don't play online) Mega Man Legends And maybe some of my old Genesis and Nintendo Games Hopefully this will put me at around $130-150 dollars. If I have to, I'll even sell my regular Nintendo. Those things go for around $40 I didn't even buy UT or RtCW. A friend of mine gave them to me when he moved away. I have played them both and have not played them in a good 4 months, and don't even want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
