The Gamecube Thread

[olibomb]

Hi, this is the start of a Gamecube thread. If you have got a new GC game and want to say how good(or bad) you think it is, or just talk about the new releases or post anything to do with Gamecube, do it here. Thanks

Nintendo has projected a net loss for the first time in its publicly-owned history. Earlier today, Nintendo regrettably informed its investors that instead of the 15 billion yen profit predicted earlier for the fiscal half-year, the company expects to suffer a loss of 3.0 billion yen (around $27 million). Nintendo is currently 7 million yen into the red.

Nintendo blames much of the losses on the unexpected appreciation of the Japanese yen, citing roughly 40 billion yen in foreign exchange losses for the time span. Nintendo also disclosed it had originally planned to reduce the GameCube’s price earlier in the year, and expects the new price to vastly improve sales during the holiday season.

Despite the disappointing news, Nintendo remains confident in its business strategy and estimates a 60 billion yen profit for its full fiscal year ending in March—only five billion yen short of its previous goal.

<_< Also, understand that this "confidence" is probably just to keep the stockholders/potential investors from panicking.

i might get me a Gamecube after Christmas if i get a job - it&#39;s only £80 now and Super Mario Sunshine and Metroid Prime are only £20 each (from Friday)

[Cygnuz-Y]

I really wnat a gamecube but buying a cube means buying a lot of games and that makes it an expensive system..

Mario Sunshine
Metroid
Zelda
Smash bros.
Mario Kart

[hey_suburbia]

ebay....., you can get the system and like 15 games for 200&#036;

Plus if you&#39;re into the GBA and you get a gameboy player (that hook&#39;s up with the Gamecube) it&#39;s totally worth it, especially with the ability to use flash cards in the player.

lol, pokemon is sucked dry? :P

[olibomb]

Oh yeah, the new Mario Kart game will be coming out soon, who think that looks good? I also like the look of Viewtiful Joe

[asmithz]

I have a GC, the graphics are good, but i will stick my PS2.

[ahctlucabbuS]

I´m considering buying a GC mainly because of the new Mario Cart game and the new F zero game. Allthough those two games looks damn sweet I´ll probably spend my money on an x box if I decide to buy a console mainly because of "Knight of the old republic" and "fable".

[XtAsY]

i dont have gamecube, and i think most the games for it sux no offence tho, im maybe wrong

[olibomb]

Yep you are wrong, there&#39;s some great games coming out at the mo

I&#39;ve already got a GameCube, since last year, but I&#39;m definitely gonna purchase both of those games. Still, I yet to purchase Metroid Prime.

yeah most of the games are dumb( to me at least) but there are soon going to be a lot of fresh great games comoing out.

Kirby( allready out)
the new mario kart (forogt what it was called)
New yugioh games

[Xelotath]

I don&#39;t understand how people can say the games are stupid or they suck if they don&#39;t have a gamecube. there are actually quite a few games in each genre that are very high quality. now, i understand you still may not like them, but it is better to say that than "they suck" or "They are all stupid" its just madness. every console has its good and not so good games.

[Jayhawk]

i almost bought a GameCube this summer just for SSB but then i didnt prob a good thing dont know if i could have made time for that and PS2 so yeah i am gonna wait for now who knows what will happen sooner or later

thank u

[Busyman]

Gamecube does have the LEAST number of new games coming out that I&#39;m looking forward to.

Right now I have

Metroid Prime
Zelda WW
Zelda OOT
Star Wars Rogue Leader
Resident Evil 0
Resident Evil
Luigi&#39;s Mansion (I should have sold that a long time ago)
Mario Sunshine

that&#39;s all I can think of at the moment. GC doesn&#39;t have alot I can look forward to.
I&#39;m definitely getting

Metal Gear Solid Twin Snakes
RE 4
Star Wars Rebel Strike
and MAYBE Mario Kart Double Dash (only if it&#39;s like Diddy Kong Racing; that was tight :D )

other than those there isn&#39;t as much to look forward to compared to other systems <_<
other than

[Esal]

I guarantee all that Mario kart Doulbe Dash is gonna be sweet. If you liked the one on 64, and i think most people did, this one should be 10 times better. I know there are some videos online you can see soem of it at. I think it comes out around november 16, so they should be finishing it up soon. Super smash brothers melee itself is reason enough to get a gamecube. SSBM is best fighting game ever. Marth owns all.

[Jayhawk]

i cant wait to play mario cart :)

[Rip The Jacker]

@Busyman
Zelda WW is The Legend Of Zelda: The Wind Waker. But whats Zelda OOT?

[wormless]

my bf has a gc but he dnt use it now lol think hes waiting for the 2nd one too come out as they should be dropping the prices now&#33;

[Esal]

Ohhh, I didn&#39;t know they released Ocarina of Time for Gamecube. Thanks for the info. :)

[olibomb]

Yea it came with The Wind Waker or something when you preordered it

[Busyman]

I liked Diddy Kong Racing not the original Mario Kart. I was hoping the new Mario Kart was like Diddy. Otherwise I&#39;m not getting it. Also one decent is NOT reason enough to get a system and right now GC doesn&#39;t have alot on the horizon except the ones I mentioned and Metroid Prime 2.

[olibomb]

Suppose but you never know, Nintendo are always good for surprises

[Mr. Mulder]

I bought a Gamecube a while ago but sold it about a month after. There wasn&#39;t really allot out for it. I had Super Mario Sunshine, Star Wars (Can&#39;t remember the title) and Die Hard Vendetta. I sold it and bought an xbox and Max Payne B)
