I agree: lowering the cost you charge for a product to the point where you are actually losing money (but then they have been doing that sense day 1) to get the product out there in an attempt to drive out the competition is monopolistic practices at its best. To bad the US courts won't do a thing about it until it would be far too late. Also doubt Microsoft would get nailed for it, just by using more money they could probably buy their way out of the accusation.

I actually think the biggest issue third parties have with the cube are current sales for third party games. Lets face it third party games just don't sell well on the Cube compared to Xbox and PS2. Heck I will admit that very few games in my GCN library are of third party titles, Nintendo's reputation of making great games is too hard to compeat with on the cube it may appear.

Anyone else realize that out of those rumored games from Sega, none are Xbox exclusive?

I hope it is true... about time Sega finally listened to sales figures.

Ummm... I don't know about you... but I don't know any 3 hour long mini games in these "modern epics"...

Maybe your expectations are unfairly high.

I was wondering where their joke was this year as well.  I'm so paranoid, I don't even think this post is real.....nevermind.


No... check the link, I already posted where it came from, the Toho Kingdom, but the rest of the April Fools stuff is already down.

TalkBack / All New Viewtiful Joe Trailer
« on: March 30, 2003, 03:17:13 PM »
Anyone else getting second thoughts about this title?

My first impression after seeing the other trailer was very favorable, and I was looking forward to playing a 2-D side scroller on the GCN.

But now as more of the plot is shown, and even more effects are poured into the moves. The game is actually looking less appealing to me... :-/

Nintendo Gaming / What ever happened to the SD Memory card?
« on: March 30, 2003, 08:09:01 AM »
Dude, just get Interact's 16xx one. Thing has so much space you will be amazed. If space is really a issue I suggest you pick this one up. I have 26 games on it, and still have pluny of room left.

Haven't had any problems with it at all... and I can't imagine living off those small 59s, or 251s at all.

TalkBack / Rogue Squadron III Confirmed
« on: March 23, 2003, 11:56:44 AM »
Considering how short in development the first for the GCN was, and how it still manages to be one of the better GCN games. I am very exicted to see what Factor 5 can do given more development time.

Hopefully they will give us a Slave 1 worthy of the one in Episode II.

Nintendo Gaming / Metroid Remakes... COME ON NINTENDO!
« on: March 19, 2003, 12:48:35 PM »
If they do port it, and that would be really nice, I hope they package a update of Metroid II for the GB whit it just to make it more worth our while.

Seems official enough.


"It's likely this title will make it to the GameCube."

How is that "official"?

Don't get your hopes up, like I said.

Nintendo Gaming / Skies of Arcadia 2

8) More playable characters

That's about all I can think of, your list was pretty good.

But I would just like to point out that no system for the sequel has been announced yet. For all we know it could be coming only to the PS2 (oh please god no). So don't get your hopes up.

TalkBack / Sega Updates Japanese F-Zero Site
« on: March 16, 2003, 09:51:04 PM »
God... I swear this game looks more and more beautiful every time I see it. Also the music sounds pretty good so far, I just hope there is a good variety of it, which Sega tends to be pretty good at.

This game is, with out a doubt, on my top ten to get list.

Alright, awesome news! Well that is assuming that it is released on the GCN. I loved the first, and look forward to a all new one.

But I will try not to get my hopes up, just incase it doesn't hit the Cube.

I think he was refering to the fact that MS has been talking of the Xbox as a success to investors... despite the fact that they are still losing a great deal of money of it, and that it has failed to meet their overall expectations.
