So, how about that Gamecube, eh?  What did you think of the year 2002, and what do you think 2003 will have in store for our beloved little Cube-that-could?

I see great things in the form of Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc. DAMN that game is going to so rock. People need to pay more attention to it like SOA:L, seriously. Other than that, It's hard to look ahead to anything other than Zelda and Ikaruga. Hopefully an online mario kart by the end of the year PLEASE GOD IVE BEEN A LOYAL NINTENDO FAN!!! heh. So yeah......fresh, virgin forums.....mmm......

GREAT new forums.  Two thumbs up from me.

Anyways, I have to say that I have no complaints at all about Nintendo's 2003 lineup.  Sales be damned, GameCube is the best console since the SNES.  Average Joe must be convinced of that though.  I think that's where we come in.

Bear in mind that no one ever said the forums would remain ad free.  We're going to be playing around with things quite a bit, which is why the forums are in BETA.  However, we're going to try to stay away from pop-ups if we can.

The forums don't have the ability built-in to allow off-site avatars (hosted on your own webspace), and having them on our server would be a HUGE bandwidth concern.  Sorry, but it's just not likely to happen unless FuseTalk releases a version to allow off-site avatars.  Sorry, but that's one of the tradeoffs that had to be made.

About the avatars -- I suppose it's not too big a deal, but they're just so instantly recognizable. I think they really help make forums a community instead of just a bunch of faceless screen names talking. Is there an option to make images allowable in signatures, or is the idea of customizable images completely out?

If they allowed us to have grafics in our sig, that would cause the same bandwidth problem as the avatars...


I thought 2002 was a great year, with Mario, Metroid, Animal Crossing, and so on.  2003 looks like it should be another excellent year for Nintendo and its gamers with the GBA SP, Zelda: Wind Waker, Ikaruga, expanded 3rd party support and so on.  Definatly a great time to own a cube.

The problem is mostly that PGC would have to host the avatars. I think that Rick said Fusetalk doesn't have the option for off-site avators.

I think that the problem with graphics in our sig is it would slow down a page and it would get annoying. A little picture in the left side isn't bad, but reading a couple of sentences, picture, , picture, sentence, picture, etc.. would get annoying.

The inherent size constraints of avatars are something that would be taken into account as well.  People could post a picture of any size in the sig and there would be fights over what is too big and such.  Sounds like it would be too much work for the mods and not really worth it.

New PGC Forums = Great Job!!!

Finally I can use the nickname Clonester instead of Clonester11.

If I may add a few suggestions, they are:

1) Get some colour!!! (light and dark alternating purple for the posts would be good, since that is PGC's main colour)

2) Make the person's User Name appear larger on the screen, so if there are no avatar's, then at least something about the person stands out

3) Get some more separation between the Name area and the Post area. A black outline would work good

Other than that, I have no complaints. These suggestions aren't really complaints, just ideas to give the board some personality, which it lacks right now.

Want to join the world's largest free Nintendo site?  If you've got the skills, we've got a few positions open.

PGC is hiring!  We need intelligent, hard-working volunteers to help make Planet GameCube the best it can be.  If you’re interested, please read the list of openings and the application criteria carefully.  (If you can’t follow simple instructions, you’re not cut out for PGC anyway.)


We are mainly looking for people based on location.  If you don’t live in one of these places but still want to join us, please do not apply now.  We hire new staff periodically, and something in your field will probably open up soon.


We need one person in each of these locations.  You don’t have to live exactly in this place, but you need to be close enough to travel there for press events on fairly short notice.  


New York


Minneapolis


San Francisco


Japan


Europe (London)


Australia


Applicants must have some writing experience, preferably with published work either online or offline.  Obviously, you must also be an avid gamer who keeps up with all the latest releases for Nintendo’s systems.  You must be able to work with others and take on writing assignments, even if it means writing about a game you could care less about.  (Though we do try to make sure that doesn’t happen.)  You must be able to write in a timely manner and accept edits and critiques of your work before it is published on PGC.


Applicants that have access to digital cameras and/or digital video cameras are also a plus.


Your application should include an introduction to yourself, some personal information (age, location), at least one writing sample (preferably on the subject of games), and a resume if you have one.  Web links to writing samples and resumes are fine.  If you have photo evidence of your Nintendo fanaticism, feel free to include it with your application, though zeal for Nintendo’s games and systems is no substitute for writing skills.  Above all, make your application interesting, unique, and brief.


When you have read this page thoroughly and have assembled your application materials, send them to louiethecat@planetgamecube.com.  Please optimize file attachments as much as possible, i.e. zip up large numbers of documents and compress pictures.  Selections will be made within 2-3 weeks.  Only those selected will be contacted.

Clonester has some valuable ideas cause that is what I was thinking. Use more of your trademark purple at least! And we need SOMETHING to seperate us from everyone else as epicac said:

That exactly what I was thinking too. We gotta get something like that in here and fast! And by the way, size can be sustained in EZboard, so why can't the signitures be made smaller for everyone here? I think that they moderators can set a code somehow that can limit the size of signiture pictures.

Yeah, the cool thing about avatars is that you can quickly tell who is posting what.  So if avatars are out of the question, perhaps you might reconsider the 'no sig pic' rule, and just have VERY STRICT filesize standards.  

Another idea: Is there anyway users could have customized colors for their names?  Or at the very least, can you make usernames a larger font?   Just SOMETHING to make the poster name to stand out.

2002 was a better year than some whould claim. Nintendo didn't hit it's shipping quotas but not by much. And remember every Million console they sell since they made that new deal is $50,000,000 for them in profits. Something that Microsoft or Sony can claim. They are behind by so what, the SNES was behind over 90% of its life. So they can still secure second place. I don't think, and its almost in the relm of the impossible, for them to catch up to what the PS2 will end up. But their profits will be simular or more than their competitors.

2003 will be a better year but not a year were were Nintendo will dominate. The Xbox and PS2 have good line ups. Nintendo will stay within a good distance, and with Zelda will start selling consoles. And what of the rest of the year, only time and E3 will tell.

Shigeru Miyamoto to make rare and intimate appearance in London later this month to promote the release of the Zeldas.  What!? You can MEET SHIGGY?!

Shigeru Miyamoto to appear at Virgin Megastore Oxford Street  

Shigeru Miyamoto is to appear at Virgin Megastore Oxford Street (14-16 Oxford St, London) on Friday 21st February from 1-3pm.


Legend of the video games world, Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto, will be making his first ever European public appearance exclusively at the Virgin Megastore Oxford Street on Friday 21st February at 1pm. This is your chance to meet one of the most creative minds of today and the genius behind many of the world's most popular and enduring video games, including Donkey Kong, Super Mario Bros., and The Legend of Zelda. Over the years these and many other titles have graced the NINTENDO GAMECUBE, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo 64, Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), Game Boy, and Nintendo Entertainment System (NES).  


Miyamoto-san is making a rare visit to the UK to promote new Nintendo titles The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past for Game Boy Advance, out 28th March, and the awesome new NINTENDO GAMECUBE title The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, out on May 3rd, which is the 1st anniversary of the NINTENDO GAMECUBE.  


On the day fans can buy or bring along any Miyamoto Nintendo title for him to sign, from a list of over 70 titles since 1981. Not only will Miyamoto-san be signing games, but the first 10 people in the queue will take away their very own signed copy of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past for Game Boy Advance, a month in advance of its UK release in March, so get there early.  


Lastly, but by no means least, an exclusive competition will run from Thursday 6th February on virgin.com/megastores where those in search of an extra special memento of the day will have a chance to win their very own piece of hand-drawn signed artwork by Miyamoto-san.


Stephen Lynn, Marketing Manager, Virgin Megastores comments:


"This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for gaming fans to meet one of the most revered figures in the video game world. We are extremely thrilled that Miyamoto-san has chosen to make such a rare appearance at the Virgin Megastore, Oxford Street. We are firmly behind bringing the best in gaming to our customers and we feel this collaboration with Nintendo will not only broaden our direct involvement in the gaming arena but will demonstrate Virgin Megastores innovation within the industry."


Considered by his peers to be the greatest video game designer in the world and called "The Spielberg of Video Games" by Time Magazine (May 1996), Shigeru Miyamoto is Senior Managing Director, Entertainment Analysis & Development, of Nintendo Co., Ltd. in Kyoto, Japan.


Miyamoto-san joined Nintendo in 1977 as an industrial designer. In 1981, Nintendo released Mr. Miyamoto's first masterpiece, the arcade game Donkey Kong. The NES was released in 1985 with Miyamoto's Super Mario Bros., the classic side-scrolling action game which set the standard for all future home console video games. Eventually, more than 40 million units were sold worldwide, and a series of mega-hit titles was born, including the 1996 N64 best-seller, Super Mario 64.


To date, Miyamoto has worked on more than 70 different Nintendo video game titles. More than 165 million video games in the Mario series have been sold world-wide. As well as the forthcoming Legend of Zelda titles, Miyamoto-san's most recent projects include Pikmin and Super Mario Sunshine on the NINTENDO GAMECUBE as well as Super Mario Advance: Yoshi's Island and Mario Kart: Super Circuit on the Game Boy Advance.

I'm glad to see EZBoard got the boot, things are looking good so far, considering this is a beta. But there are a few things I'm not happy with (shock horror). First, this reply box is WAY too long, second, these Emoticons suck ass, and finally, I'm a bit sad about the lack of avatars. They make a forum complete!

Everybody looks the same without them...
I liked PGC's original avatar settings. Where they could only be a strict 20x20 size, and you had to host them yourself...

No avatars, eh?  Well that's going to take some getting used to.  I always found it easier to identify posters by their avatar instead of their name.  But if it's not possible then there's no use complaining about it.

Well, let's see... 2002 kicked ass. Great games. Metroid, Mario, Eternal Darkness, Resident Evil, TimeSplitters 2, Animal Crossing... 2003 looks like it's going to be very promising too. We already have Skies of Arcadia: Legends, and we're getting Zelda (pre-order disc deal=PWN), and hopefully Animal Crossing 2 (supposedly confirmed by NoE to be online), Mario Kart/Golf/Tennis (also supposedly online, NoE), maybe the new Pikmin and Mario games, and much more.
