Acrylic Posted February 15, 2004 Posted February 15, 2004 I wonder, waht are some ways I can convince my dad for myself to get a Gamecube? Are there any places w/ deals, like you can get something with a Gamecube if you order it? Thanks lots, AC
Jedi Luke Posted February 15, 2004 Posted February 15, 2004 Dunno about good trades or anything but you can make a deal with your dad such as if you get top marks for school then at the end of the year, your dad buys you a GC. Just to start off. More suggestions will come later if I think of other ways.
Jared Posted February 15, 2004 Posted February 15, 2004 www.gamestop.com should have some good bundles...and the gamecube is like...what....$100 now? I could find a good deal somewhere online probably, tell me exactly what you are looking for....and as far as cheap games and used controllers and such....the only way I have all 3 systems and tons of games is the gamestop store.^^
IG-64 Posted February 15, 2004 Posted February 15, 2004 Well, first of all, what games are you going to get?
Acrylic Posted February 15, 2004 Author Posted February 15, 2004 Yeah, its $100 now. Well, I want a Black GC, with the standard controller that come with it (brand new), and a good game, like LOZ : WW. Thanks, Acrylic.
TheHobGoblin Posted February 15, 2004 Posted February 15, 2004 Originally posted by IG-64 Well, first of all, what games are you going to get? well the best games that I played myself that you should get are Metroid Prime Resident Evil 1 Wrestlemania XIX MKDA Both Rouge Leader Games Spider-Man and a Action Replay won't be bad
Acrylic Posted February 15, 2004 Author Posted February 15, 2004 Well, I have a PS2 and XBOX, and Im looking for a GC for the Exclusive games, like Metroid, Mario, FF:CC, etc.
IG-64 Posted February 15, 2004 Posted February 15, 2004 Metroid was good, Mario was no better than 64 IMO ,you want a good mario game get Yoshi's Island or Mario RPG. And if you want a good exclusive then I one thing to say: SSBM Resident Evil 1 and 0 were good games aswell
Acrylic Posted February 15, 2004 Author Posted February 15, 2004 I'm definately gonna get SSBM. I really want one, and WILL get one, no matter what waters I must cross. </really dorky metaphor>
TheHobGoblin Posted February 15, 2004 Posted February 15, 2004 Listen to Max Payne he gives good ones.
Nerd_Annhilator Posted February 15, 2004 Posted February 15, 2004 Yes! SSBM is the way to go! Its my favorite game on Gamecube that I've played. I also didn't mind Animal Crossing, even though I stopped playing it and my town got run over by large amounts of overgrown plants. I have a wavebird controller, I pretty much need it as my gamecube is located right above the tv, so wires dangle infront of the screen. ( darn ) Try looking for a platinum gamecube, it sells for less than a normal one (My friend got one for $119.00 CAN instead of $138.00 for a normal one)
edlib Posted February 15, 2004 Posted February 15, 2004 I'm playing Starfox Adventures right now. It's a bit goofy, but a lot of fun. I recommend it. Metroid is great. Bounty Hunter was OK. Clone Wars was kinda blah. Give it a pass, unless you see it really cheap.
Acrylic Posted February 15, 2004 Author Posted February 15, 2004 Originally posted by edlib Clone Wars was kinda blah. Give it a pass, unless you see it really cheap. I have Clone Wars on XBOX. Pile o' Junk that is. EDIT: the game that is...

I will be playing these games : *Rogue squadron 2 and 3 (duh!) *Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles *Sonic heroes... alot of ppl are telling me to check out metroid....i might give it a go one day.... MTFBWYA
Neverhoodian Posted February 15, 2004 Posted February 15, 2004 Two words... VIEWTIFUL JOE!!! GET VIEWTIFUL JOE!!! For other exclusives, Metriod Prime, Zelda: The Wind Waker, Rogue Leader and Super Smash Bros. Melee are all great. But... *tries hypnotist impression* You must get Viewtiful Joe! You must get Viewtiful Jooooooooooooooooooe!!!
Darth Rythe Posted February 15, 2004 Posted February 15, 2004 When my brother bought you PS2 he said he bought it for half price and the TV, which isn't small, was about $200
Astrotoy7 Posted February 15, 2004 Posted February 15, 2004 Originally posted by Darth Rythe When my brother bought you PS2 he said he bought it for half price and the TV, which isn't small, was about $200 ....I seem to be lucky, I got my PS2 two years ago for $199, doing one of those trade ins with "Ebgames" where I traded in my ps1 and 12ps1 games(which I never played....) The only ps1 games I have kept are the Final Fantasy games. The rest, if I ever get nostalgic, I play off iso's with epsxe on my pc I got the cube+1 controller for $80..... just in case you think Im fibbing..... has anyone ever used those GC to PS controller convertors..any good ? because the GC controllers are a bit irritating.... MTFBWYA
Alegis Posted February 15, 2004 Posted February 15, 2004 I love the NGC controllers, they fit PERFECTLY in the hand We got a NGC 'recently' (xmas) it took a long time for my lil bro (about a year) to convince our elders...'blahblahblah, no more 'c' attitude on your grades! blahblahblah!!' oh well, it's here now is it we got that double dash combo pack Why we got a ngc instead of PS2/Xbox: -we (actually, 'I', im using it for 99%) got a good pc fer gaming, and the games released for ps2/xbox are practically the same as fer pc. NGC has got more exclusive stuff. Tell me when you get mario kart or smash bros for pcs -i looooove smash bros -support nintendo, i play nintendo since i was 3 yo
Acrylic Posted February 15, 2004 Author Posted February 15, 2004 So, anywhere where I can get a black Gamecube in store for about $90?
IG-64 Posted February 15, 2004 Posted February 15, 2004 Originally posted by Acrylic So, anywhere where I can get a black Gamecube in store for about $90? there's a used one at http://www.half.com for 87.00
Acrylic Posted February 15, 2004 Author Posted February 15, 2004 Originally posted by IG-64 there's a used one at http://www.half.com for 87.00 I could get a used one from gamestop for $70. But I want a NEW ONE, Never been played.

Acrylic Posted February 15, 2004 Author Posted February 15, 2004 Ok, another question!!! I called my local Sam's Club, and heres the deal that they have: 1 Gamecube (with standard controller) 1 extra official nintendo controller 1 memory card 59 (whatever that means) and Starfox Adventrues for: $124.79 + tax. Good deal???
Neverhoodian Posted February 16, 2004 Posted February 16, 2004 Well...kind of... In comparison, when I got my Gamecube back in November of 2001, it had... two controllers Memory Card 59 Luigi's Mansion and Wave Race: Blue Storm a Gamecube collapsible chair All for about $160.00 Try to get your hands on a Memory Card 251. I've been able to save all twelve of my GC games on one card! (as well as a game I'm borrowing from a friend and the occasional games I rent from video stores) You won't know how you got by without it. Also, try to get some wireless Wavebird controllers. Those things are great, you won't have to worry about getting cords tangled up.

And I dont care about the wires, wireless controllers are horrible (I tried one before, yuck)
