That said, only two things I can think of could equal or top nearly anything Nintendo themselves could announce and those things are:
1) a 2.5-D (or straight-out 2-D) Sonic game eschewing the Adventure-style Sonic gameplay. My dream back in the 16-bit days was that when new systems came along, the companies would actually make games like the ones we had but with 16,000 colors and much more animation and CD-quality music. Sadly, this never really happened, with few exceptions. Everything just went 3-D (I know, I'm beating a dead horse that's been thrashed a thousand, thousand times already) and much of it just will never truly work. Nintendo proved it can be done equally or better, but Sega's Sonic games have done nothing but make Sonic fans wish for 2-D again (even though I think Sonic Adventure was a lot of fun).
2) One word, and it's so predictable: NiGHTS.
Let me add a third just for kicks:
3) Phantasy Star 5 (screw this online stuff for just a while).
(Oh, and I don't think this was solely a Sega game, but I'm dying for an update of the classic Wonder Boy in Monster World games!!!!!!! Isn't everyone? Hahaha...they could even use that Tenacious D song for the heck of it. Or not.)

Okay I don't REALLY think that's what'll be announced but knowing Sega it's not too unbelievable.
Who is "some guy on IGN"? Is he a staff member or just some forum dork? What sort of stuff was he right about in the past?

Alex Kidd was a Sega game, and never appeared on any other systems. Wonder Boy did appear on Amiga and Turbo CD later on, but it was first on the Master System.

Alex Kidd was infact a Sega game. He was born in the arcades, then became one of Sega's main mascot's for the Master System ^^
Anyway, I'm hoping for a new Wonderboy game.... It's been over 10 years since Wonderboy III Sega! Give us a new one! *Cries*
What I'm expecting? Monkey Ball 3, or an online Daytona.

Somehow I get the impression that Sega hates making money. Why else would they refuse to supply enough copies of Skies of Arcadia to cover all of North America? I haven't seen a single copy of Skies of Arcadia Legends in my area (Lethbridge, Alberta), and I know that I am not the only one with this problem. EBGames is sold out and copies are on backorder, and none of the stores in my area have even heard of the game.
If the sales of Skies of Arcadia Legends is supposed to determine the chances of a sequel, then I guess you guys don't want to make a sequel too badly, as it seems that YOU REFUSE TO SELL THE GAME TO ME!

Paying $20+ to have a game shipped to me that should be available in stores is simply lunacy. I think I will end up paying inflated prices for shipping, but it is NOT what I want to be doing. I have no gripes with Sega, at least not before they decided that Lethbridge wasn't worthy of recieving their games. You may be willing to spend 1/3 the costs of the game itself on shipping, but I tend to balk at that, as I am starving to death already. Give me one good reason why I shouldn't be mad at Sega.
PS: I also am not a fan of their customer service. They don't even have the courtesy to write you back.

Meanwhile, I have to wait six more months for an Australian release of SoA, not only that, but Dreamcast's are one of the rarest consoles ever in this country. At least you have a choice of sorts!

Try dvdboxoffice.com (its canadian, and its free shipping) or national console support www.ncsx.com I only pay 9bucks for shipping and thats for getting a game within 4-5 days in germany.

Sure, on the surface it all looks clean, legit and all that...
But I've tried preordering Zelda there, and my experiences were insatisfactory to say the least.
Anyway, back on topic...
I think the Sega GCN announcement is Virtua Fighter Quest. Not because it hasn't been announced already, but because nobody knows jack about it except for two pathetically blurry snapshots of a moving sheet of paper containing screens from the game... from a distance.

Wait a minute. You're using facts to refute the wishes of others and then you start out your own wish-list with one of the games Sonic Team is least likely to ever give another shot and one they have actually commented on not wanting to do. Yeah, likely.

What problems have you had?
Although they are slow with shipping, they don't charge for it, so if you are prepared to wait four weeks to get a game, then DVDBoxoffice is good (and I think the site is fine)
You will have the same problem pre-ordering Zelda there as you will have with any retailer that isn't one of the "participating retailers" They are not sure if, when, and how many copies of the game they will get.
Some stores got copies of the game who weren't on the list, but that's because they pulled some strings with other companies that WERE.
I actually think if you really want a copy of the game, then you are gambling to some extent when you buy it from any store that isn't on the official list. The people at DVDBoxoffice probably know less about the deal than we do.

1. They have personal info.
2. The sheer stupidity could be hazardous/contagious.
3. I don't wanna drive them out of business THAT badly.
4. I don't want other companies to get more ideas on how to con people out of money.
5. Just thinking about them makes my blood boil.
6. We'd get off topic, like we are now.

4 weeks of shipping isn't something I am willing to put up with anyways.
4weeks? The longest I waited was 3 weeks and thats to get a game to Germany, where do you guys live??
Afghanistan, Iraq, Siberia????
Back on topic, Shenmue 3 is highly unlikely because someone working on the SHenmue 2 Xbox version(i think he was director) said that one should expect further Shenmue games on the Xbox. I wonder why Sega are that stupid, after all, Shenmue 2 sold badly on the Xbox.
Sega would do well in putting all SHenmue games on the GCN, after all, GCN is the paradise for ports

Thanks once again, but I think I have harrassed the local Toys R' Us enough that they are making a special effort to get the game. I went down there in person today to raise some hell, and they said that they would be getting it by the end of the month. I will of course be phoning them every day until they get it.
I would like to avoid buying online if at all possible. (Besides, most online sites I know are already backordered).

How can you call Germany #1 enemy of the US? I assume that means Germany is a bigger threat than Iraq or North Korea because they have a different opinion? What about China, Russia or France? THose nr 1 enemies too?
I myself am not very happy about the radical position of the german government but that doesnt mean they arent against Saddam or his evil regime.
Anyway, I just hope you didnt mean it that way so ill get back on topic.
WHy do we actually take this Sega announcement for fact, as far as i recall this evolved on the IGN boards which certainly doesnt make it a fact.

I don't agree... the Gamecube button layout itself, with the guided layout (unlike the uniform are rarely distinguishable PS2 botton scheme, which I can only distinguish between because my X button is the most worn) provides a major plus for fighters... the problem comes with the control pad... but why should you have to use the pad? Seriously, I would love to try and play Virtua Fighter 4 with a stick... it would be far more reminiscent of using an arcade stick instead of getting a blistered thumb trying to achieve the same thing on a pad. Seriously, the only handicap is 2D fighters, and those have gone the way of the dodo. If you've ever played the original Soul Calibur with the Dreamcast controller (and it's lame and uncomfortable pad), you understand that using the analog stick for 3D fighters is just a good idea.

The problem with the GC pad is that Virtua Fighter uses EVERY button combination which comes to 8 buttons if you were to separate them. The GC pad is really poorly designed for the way the game is laid out. Then again, playing it on a PS2 pad doesn't even come close to approximating an arcade stick anyway. The GC pad would definitely NOT work with the game though.
That said, if a fighter were designed with the GC pad in mind from the beginning there wouldn't be any issues with it's layout.

And Mephisto, you've GOT to be kidding me. Using the analog for ANY fighting game is utterly ridiculous to me. I for one will never use anything other than a digital pad for a fighting game, at least until some grand revolution happens that makes it actually work. For me, and many others, I think, it doesn't. Doesn't even come close to the beauty of a great d-pad.

Well the PS2 also has only two controller ports so in terms of hardware it's not a good indication of what the future of videogames holds. The control stick SHOULD be in the prime position. Sony just seems to have a fear of changing their original controller design from 1995 (which was considered pretty poor even then).
I think the whole fighting game controller issue wouldn't exist if Sony wasn't the market leader. Nintendo and Microsoft both made the control stick the main focus of their controllers and they both push analog support. 3D games with D-pad controls are ridiculously out-of-date and it makes no sense to make them. If Gamecube or Xbox was the top system most games would be designed with that console in mind and therefore most games would be designed with the control stick in mind. Today's controllers shouldn't be designed for fighting games, fighting games should be designed for today's controllers. Analog is the future and every 3D fighting game should have analog controls. If Sony wasn't living in the past and encouraging developers to stick with an out-of-date standard all 3D fighting games would have analog controls. If Sony loses the top spot or the PS3 controller is control stick centric and guarentee this issue will die.
Though I'll admit that Nintendo is a little TOO anti-d-pad. The Gamecube d-pad could easily have been done a lot better and seems to have been intentially made to be uncomfortable in order to persuade developers to use the control stick. That's taking things a little too far as making the controller control stick centric in the first place is sufficient.
Post by: Infernal Monkey on February 18, 2003, 11:08:37 AM
Virtua Fighter 4 wouldn't be very pleasent via the GameCube's controller, like Sean mentioned, nobody in their right mind would want to play VF on a GBA, therefore, playing it on GC would result in the same experience. Nervous twitches, blood leaking out of their hands from that "thing" of a D-Pad... And .. So on. =P
Post by: Sean on February 18, 2003, 11:30:33 AM
And Monkey, you're right. I had a dream the other night I was playing Street Fighter Alpha on my GBA and let's just say it ended badly with a pool of urine, not a few tears, and fingernail-less hands. The GBA was laughing about it, too. So was Yamauchi.
Gunpei Yokoi was not pleased.

Check out the Nyko Airflo GC controller. The dpad is MUCH better than Nintendo's and the analogue stick is pretty good as well. My only complaint is that the L/R shoulder buttons are a bit stiffer than the original's.

Don't even get me started on the 2 controller ports bit with the PS2. That's so painfully stupid I can't even begin to describe it. Let's just say it's one of the main things that kept me from buying one, for ages. That and all the useless crap on it. If it weren't for the fact that it is the industry standard I'd never have bought one. I really dislike the hardware. Half outdated crap and half junk you'll never use/is totally worthless. When was the last time YOU used that firewire port anyway? Do those lightguns REALLY need to be USB and did the controller ports themselves REALLY need to be that big? No.
Back to the D-pad bit though- hopefully Sony really does fix their next controller (although somehow I doubt it) and release it with some actual analog triggers and the analog stick in a prime position. Hopefully they'll make the actual ports themselves smaller, too.
Hopefully Nintendo upsized their Dpad on their next system, maybe adds clicks to the analog sticks... and doesn't change too much else about it.

Ummm... more fitting? Can you explain how? It's still people beating the crap out of each other, just like Virtua Fighter. Besides, the Fighting Vipers franchise died a horrible death when the sequel was released to literally NO fanfare, so I REALLY doubt that it'll be revived again.
And seriously, if we're getting an action-RPG based in the Virtua Fighter universe, how is that fitting for Gamecube but the fighter it's based on not? Your logic falters on this point... because the more serious themes you implied Virtua Fighter has would be present in Virtua Fighter Quest, as well, but placed in a different genre.
And it's getting to the point where "target audience" isn't going to matter to Sega... when they see the overwhelming demand for Skies of Arcadia Legends (as has been said, many online retailers are on back order), they will understand that their games "inexplicably" sell better on Gamecube... hell, we made SUPER MONKEY BALL a marketable franchise, that has to say something...

I love Skies of Arcadia Legends!!! It's such an awesome game and I would definitely welcome a sequel for the GCN. The PGC staff should send our ideas to Sega.
