Are you satisfied with your Cube at the moment?
GanonSlayer:
I got my Cube around launch and I have been fairly satisfied with my purchase. I have yet to see a title that completely blows my socks off like a couple for the N64 did (SM64 and Zelda: OoT) but I think we are getting a much better suply of quality titles like Metroid, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Eternal Darkness and Resident Evil at a much greater rate. I am hoping Zelda: the Wind Waker will be that game that astounds me but so far I am very happy with both the quality and quantity of top-notch titles released.
Ian Sane:
I'm happy with my Cube now though I wasn't so keen on it during the release drought in early 2002. It really irks me that I paid full price at launch when I could have waited until the price cut as nothing that I would consider "must have" was released before then. It also would have been nice if I could have got a Platinum Cube.
Still overall there's enough great titles that I'm content. There are actually a lot of released titles that I really want to play that I haven't had time to play yet. That sort of thing never happened with the N64. There could be more RPGs and I wish there wasn't so many crappy third party PS2 ports though.
Oh and the Player's Choice titles should be the same price as the PS2 and Xbox "discounted hits". The extra ten bucks is bullsh!t.
Sean:
Well, games like ED and Mario blew my socks off, but Metroid Prime left me with nothing but my birthday suit. I'm satisfied with my Cube, yes. There've been 'droughts,' but I got mine the middle of last year, and I've been consistently happy with it. I think that someone buying it TODAY would be overwhelmed with goodness.
Oh, and Ian, I COMPLETELY agree with the player's choice comment. Thirty bucks retail is just sad.
Infernal Monkey:
At the moment, no.
Lack of PAL releases is the big reason. Nintendo's obsession with fu<king over their fans in PAL territories has left the shelves rather bare of any new releases in quite some time. It'll change soon enough though, with the likes of Metroid Prime.
But overall, I've been happy with my GC purchase. SSB:M alone was worth the price of admission.
But like yourself Ganon, I'm yet to be really blown away by a GC game, much in the same way I was with Nintendo 64 releases, but that's thanks to the slow release dates, but mainly, due to the fact that everything on N64 was stunning because it was new. Nintendo were showing us what could be done with polygon worlds and interactivity.
Now it's common to see a full blown 3D world the likes of Mario 64 and Zelda: OoT.
I do believe Nintendo will catch me off-guard with the release of Zelda:WW though, seeing this game via compressed AVI's isn't enough, I need to feel the magic first hand!
Sir Pinch-a-Loaf:
Currently, no, because I can't play it. It's sitting at home, while I am here at college. and my roommate broke his, and it's either in the mail, or being repaired.
If I had one to play though, I'd say absolutely.
