Nintendo kick ass when it comes to games, I don't give a damn how many million polys it can render, how colorful the box is, how pretty it looks running a pre rendered video, how many pieces of chicken you could cook on its processor. I want one thing; great games.

That's why I bought a GBA

Jeese, I sound like Denis Leary

Agreed. Personally I'm looking forward to Metroid Prime, Resident Evil: Zero, and the new Zelda looks rather... interesting. It seems as if its based on the original NES version or something. Smash Bros. Melee can be fun for awhile too, and Rogue Leader is a blast for any Star Wars fan. Personally, I think the console is fine, and but then I find people attacking the controller. You get used to it like any controller and I know you'll be able to buy many off-brand modifications. GCN is as good as the rest in my opinion.... minus my computer of course.

btw, about SW fans... I've heard that Luigi's mansion sold much better than rogue leader in the States... isn't that odd?

RS II is a much better game than Luigi's mansion.

Anything to do with Star Wars is (ahem) ...... I didn't say anything

More copies sold? MORE COPIES SOLD!?
Wipe them out...all of them.

Actually the GC controller recieved the best general review of all the next gen. controllers. It's got an excellent design whereas the xbox controller is too big for the japanese (the console too, some were making jokes of using it for a coffee table ). The xbox controller is a good example of bad design, tiny buttons and a flimsy analogue stick. Not good.
The original PS1 pad (no sticks or vibration) was a great pad, it was light, sat well in your hands and you never got finger ache from using it, the analogue pad by comparison was crap.

If anyone in the UK reads EDGE (a highly respected games magazine) they might have seen a review of the GC. The guy reviewing it said something along the lines of 'the pad is so comfortable and easy to use that sometimes you forget it's there'.
Sounds good to me.

I agree.
