I feel the need to defend the GC a bit, cuz its taken a lot of bashing from your guys.



*rolls eyes* Only an imbecillic 8-year old would say this. Moron. And btw, polys per second isnt the only thing that affects graphics. There's the method that it renders (like comparing pixel graphics to vector). It HAS been proven that the GCN is superior to any other system when it comes to rendering water & liquids.

1. The Controller: Those you think that the controller for the cube is weird, need to actually think about the design. Its shape is ergonomic (unlike the PS2's controller), and the button configuration is brilliant (I can press the A,B,X,Y,L,R buttons, plus the analog stick all at once). It also take less time to get used to - each button on the main pad has a unique shape (a break away from the traditional design).

2. The Graphics: Sure, they're not as good as those found on the other consoles, but the difference is hardly noticeable. Basically, the graphics are just as good as they need to be. On top of that, people tend to forget that Nintendo is, at heart, a game company. Games are its focu, and notihng else. PlayStation is backed by electronics giant Sony, and Xbox by Bill. These companies have home turf advantages, being able to draw on resources from other departments. For a game company, I'd say Nintendo did a really, really good job.

3. The Size: Is that a problem? Are some people ashamed for having a smaller, lightweight, portable system? *Cough*compensatingforsomething*cough*

4. The Games: Zelda, Metroid, Mario, Sonic, F-Zero, Starfox, Resident Evil Smash Bros. Need I say more? (Actually, there is a point I have to make for those who dissmiss GC games as childish: You guys can't handle a little bit of colour in your games! Play them, and you'll find that the games are accessible (and fun!).

5. Hardware Extras: Not many. Once again, GC is a very simple, straightforward system. I condede, however, that leaving out the internet connection was a mistake (but an understandable one - see point 2).

Before any of you call me biased, I will say a few things about the other systems:

PS2: To be honest, I don't like the PS2. I haven't found a game on it that makes me want to buy one. It doesn't have mnay bad points, but it doesn't have any good ones, either.

Xbox: If you could attach a GC controller to this baby, and play Nintendo games, I'd buy one. The hardware is very nicely put together; the hard drive was a good idea. Unfortunately, right now, the Xbox is rather redudant. It plays like a PC. I have one already, except that I can write reports, research games, chat with people, draw, render, calculate - you name it - and it only costs a bit more than the Xbox.

EDIT: (Again, and again!) Here's the reason for all the fighting: different people like different things. GCN owners seem to be the most intelligent (or at least, the most intelligible) & value well-put-together games. The Xbox pool is brought down by you loudmouth, stupid tweenies who think its cool to be 133t; but I'd say that the Xbox players like to be able to play online, and seem to value graphics. PS2 owners are a very mixed breed, but seem to consist of FF fanatics who have no lives, and normal people who dont want either the extremes of Xbox or GCN.

XBOX!!! I don't actually have one but I go to my friend's to play it a lot, fastest loading time, best graphics and the controls r the only drawback...

SNES. They have some of the greates RPG's

PS1
Einhander and G-Darius are my favorites from that system.
I own : Einhander, G-Darius, Duke Nukem Time to Kill, Robo Pit, Med-Evil, Tai Fu Wrath of the Tiger and a few others.
Just so you know, I own an SNES and two games for it.

Am going to have to go with the SNES. This systems has some of the best games out there and what it lacks in graphics for now a day games is better game play.

My favorite is, PS2. Cause it's easier to carry and move around, For the X-Box It's a little bigger. Plus PS2 is one of my favorite. I grew up with an Play Station 1, Then about 4 years later, PS 2 came out. I Always wanted to get it! When 2002 I finally got one! I'm keeping it really clear. Every Monday on every Week. I go clear it get the dust off of it!

I'm for the GC too, but personally, the PS/PS2 have a very good controller setup also. Not for nothing that they simply made the same compatible controlers for both consoles, they were perfect like that. And honestly, NGC's look quite similar (except for the Cs).


Most people that buys a PS2 buys it half for the games, and half for a more powerful PS1 machine, and also a DVD player. That's the main attraction to the game. You won't gain anything buying the console solely for gamming purposes.

my favorite is X box, but gamecube is fun too

i like all the consoles...xbox for FPSs and good graphics (among other things), GC for its awesome characters in their games, and PS2 for being the most general system (dvds, psx playback, cd player...)

One of the oldest, yet in my opinion the best, SNES! When i was younger i used to have 1, but i had to get rid of it =(. I still remember Kirby All-start or something like that. And all the old Mario games. No 3d, no complex graphics, just good old sprites with animations. Those were the good old days...

PS2 got my vote, mainly because that's the only system I own in the listed poll, and that I haven't played much GC or Xbox.

YUP. THE BOMB 3.

XBOX: Halo 2

PS2: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

PC: Half-Life 2

GC: Zelda, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Resident Evil 4

As you can see, GC owners will have the wettest pants.

=)

Though PS2 and Xbox are both getting great games, I'll eventually get them on PC. Halo? Got in on PC. GTA:VC? PC. It's not about the ones that are on PC, it's the games that STAY on the system that makes it a reason to get the system. I really don't see too many good titles on the XBOX or PS2.

Here's my run down of some things about the different systems.

Best Controller: PS2
The PS2 controller is perfect. 'Nuff said. The Gamecube controller does have the nifty "woot I can press all the buttons at once!" thing going for it, but the buttons get worn out REALLY fast. Plus putting the Z button (originally the trigger button) on the shoulder of the controller is just stupid, why is it even there. I've never actually used an X-box controller to play any games in a long time.. However if I recall correctly playing a demo of some game, this thing is huge. I don't remember much else. But it was huge.

Games? Different styles!

X-box - This thing is basically a PC. All the games for it come out on the PC first, and if not, they get ported to the PC later. The only reason I can see why you would want an X-box is if you hate having your games updated with patches or something. People who already have computers... why get an X-box? I mean sure, you get the game for the computer a few months before the X-box user, but is that really that awesome? Yes, it is. This thing is just for Microsoft fanboys.

PS2 - This thing here is great. Most of the games on here are for an older crowd, and the games are typically violent. On the PS1 you had all this crazy Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, etc. stuff that was kind of for multiple age groups, but even that.. And now that's mostly gone. Replaced by Jak II with it's dark and gloomy atmosphere. Otherwise you've just got a whole bunch of games like GTA, The Mafia, The Getaway, True Crime, Tony Hawk... and more. Basically this system is for people who like to kill things.

GC - The Gamecube is awesome. These games are for everybody, anyone who never grows up really. And who wants to grow up? Anyway, Mario is awesome. Luigi is awesome. Samus and Link are awesome. StarFox used to be awesome but they murdered him.. those bastards. Rogue Squadron is cool too. GameCube really goes for that traditional edge, you know, that games should be FUN. Haha.. fun games, who would have thought? Everything else is just killing people, whereas the GC is fun for all ages. OMG DK BONGO??? GOSU!!!

In conclusion, I have no idea why anybody bought an X-box. The PS2 is for killers and people who love Final Fantasy. GC Is fun. Oh yea, and the SNES still owns everyone else and it can never be beaten.

u gotta love the x-box ITS GOT HALO!!!(and soon to b haloe 2, novermber 9!!!!)

Computers have Halo too. And I didn't have to buy a 300 dollar system to play it.

ps2 is awsome, but the games aint as good as they used to be

Not to mention you can play it online and mod it.

PS2 has the most games for it, plus free dvd player!

See, if halo was for Gamecube. I would go with that, but hell I own all 3 systems and I like them each for different purposes. Like Xbox for Halo
And Xbox for Halo
And Xbox for Halo
Hmmmmm....
And Xbox for Halo
