Deguello, I love that response. I wished you'd mail that into IGN Cube and see if Matt has the balls to respond on the mail page. ^_^

Bild is the biggest newspaper here and I'm damn sure they don't have a clue what they're writing about.

everyone loves magical trevor
cause the tricks that he does are ever so clever
look at him now, dissapearing that cow
where's that cow, heading right now
taking a bow, its magical trevor
everyone can see that the trick is clever.
look at him there with his leathery leathery whip
Its made from magic, and with a little flick
Yeah Yeah yeaaah the cow is back
Yeah Yeah yeaaah. the cow is back.
back back, back from its magical journey!
what did you see? In a parallel dimension
saw beans lots of beans lots of beans lots of beans
saw beans lots of beans lots of beans lots of beans oh yeah
everyone loves magical trevor....

IGN seems to be in love with pikmin 2, which i can't wait for. I WANT MY PIKMIN!

I really don't see the majority of the issue with IGN. I've generally found them to have good exclusives and such, though they aren't nearly as good as they used to be.

Thats why i love stuff like Gametab, keeps me up to date with absolutely everything. I can't wait for him to get more stuff implemented. Still, this has gotten off topic enough, lets go back to bitching about how 3rd parties don't want to make stuff for cube.

It sounds like some one forgot what it was like with the N64 at the end of it life. Around here we were lucky to get a new release every two months with the N64, the Gamecube is like the promised land when you compare the two. Its not like it going to take 1 generation to cure the damage done. I takes one mistake to waste years of your life trying to make up for it.

The Cube has become the N64. Not enough new games to keep yourself busy.

Excuse me? I have over fifty games, and there are a ton of games that I haven't beaten yet, and I'm about to go nuts because I don't feel like I can possibly keep up with everything coming out.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #33 on:** August 22, 2004, 10:37:36 AM »

Seriously...I have 3 games I have barely touched and there's at least 1 game a month that I desire till the end of the year... :\

I didn't read every response, but I can tell you I thought the 3rd party 'rep' was very rude and arrogant if what IGN reported is true. I was more shocked by that attitude than anything. I may have punched him in the head had I been the Nintendo 'rep'.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #35 on:** August 22, 2004, 11:35:01 AM »

Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles
Wario Ware GC
Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes
Pokemon Colosseum
Bomberman Jetters
Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures
Tales of Symphonia

Makes me think you don't know what you are talking about...

Syl · « **Reply #36 on:** August 22, 2004, 11:45:35 AM »

I actually agree that there hasn't been many games *this* year, but i still have to catch up on enough games to keep me entertained.

There hasn't been many games this year for *ANY* of the consoles, so its no different.

CHEN · « **Reply #37 on:** August 22, 2004, 01:04:27 PM »

Yep, it's going to be an exciting time with all the major console releases coming up. Will Metroid Prime 2: Echoes be a worthy successor? Will Fable live up to the hype? Will Halo 2 be another system seller? Will Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas be something innovative this time? Will Resident Evil 4 reach its predicted sales number? Will the MMORPG Final Fantasy XI be a hit among the Western public? Will Kill Zone be the first great FPS exclusive for the PS2? Can Doom 3 on the X-Box be as graphically impressive as its PC counterpart? Will Prince of Persia 2 be commercially succesful this time? And of course there are other 'sleeper' hits, like Star Ocean: Till the End of Time (finally!), Viewtiful Joe 2, Paper Mario 2, Gradius V, Pikmin 2 and so forth. And most of all, which one's going to be GOTY?

We'll know soon enough.

Bill you forgot Mega Man aniversary collection and Custom Robo.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #40 on:** August 22, 2004, 07:18:19 PM »

Oh shi...I did forget Custom Robo, but MegaMan Collection isn't exclusive...

I've never bought that arguement. Third party games sold huge on the NES and SNES and continue to sell huge on the GBA. The reason Cube third party games sell like crap is because ALL Cube games sell like crap because the console itself has sold like crap. If the Revolution is a closer competitor to the PS3 third party games will sell on it.

NES and SNES were the only game in town (in regards to quantity and quality) you are also forgetting many genres of video games were 'really new' for most people in that era. Consider the genres that have existed since the SNES/PS1 not much has changed except graphics since the NES days (action beat-em up, RPG's, driving, etc).

Ymeegod · « **Reply #42 on:** August 25, 2004, 06:49:11 AM »

Actually Bloodworth there's something to his claim. Sure there's support than N64 but it's still lacking in alot of genres.

When's the last good rally game? Or what about another other sport? Did GC get EA's Fight Night 2004--nope. Both of the other consoles sure as hell did.

"I meant GOOD games from January to August 2004. Of those you list only 2 look good enough to buy."

Oh please...All of those games are far above average titles...

Flames_of_chaos · « **Reply #44 on:** August 25, 2004, 12:07:30 PM »

Custom Robo is also above average as well, and atleast all of those titles above average run of the mill shovelware and custom robo have a real good fun factor and isnt games ment to have fun rather than a hyped up game that is in reality a piece of crap *points at Driv3r *cough cough crapp3r cough cough*

KDR_11k · « **Reply #45 on:** August 25, 2004, 09:40:08 PM »

If you don't like the games that come out that's your thing, Nintendo cannot deliver enough games to give all possible demographics that many games a month. Yes, third party support stinks ATM, but how many of you honestly buy third party games? (me? Half of my games are third party) The demographic Nintendo got is the one that only buys certain brands (Nintendo, Sega), third parties cannot sell here.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #46 on:** August 25, 2004, 09:56:35 PM »

I like Capcom too.

I own very little 3rd party games on GC, only NFS:U, James Bond:Nightfire and Timesplitters 2

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #48 on:** August 26, 2004, 01:21:17 AM »

Nearly 2/3 of my 31-game library are 3rd party. I'm still behind on completing 1/3 of my games, but I'm working on it.

Unless Front Mission involves running and gunning in up to four player deathmatches with robots you designed yourself, no.
