I just wanted to post how happy I am with my Cube . I had an Xbox for a longtime, but non of the games that came out made me interested. My best friend has a Gamecube with Metroid and got me hooked. I went to EB traded in my Xbox and got a Cube. Oh and one more thing for any one thinking of getting one, get a Wavebird. Man that is just icing on the cake!!!

Bummer you waited so long.... and a bummer that you traded your xbox for it.

make sure to pick up Zelda...

Dont feel bad, I wasnt getting any use out of the Xbox, you can only beat Halo so many times lol. Im good with Metroid for now, once I beat that I'll pick up Zelda

I have all three systems, and I definitely play the Cube the most. I guess it's the Nintendo-made games that get me. I learned quite some time ago, however, that trading in or selling a system is never a good idea. I sold my Dreamcast once, ended up regretting it and buying another one.

I lent my DC out to some friends. I thnk its a long term lend lease program lol. I might pick up a used DC, they are only 30 bucks at EB. I dont think I will regrett parting with the Xbox

I sold my Xbox a few months ago so don't worry about it. If the games don't appeal to you there is no reason to have the console.

Of the 3 systems, I play on the Gamecube the least. X-Box takes most of my time due to Live, Splinter Cell and PD Orta. Then it's PS2 with GTA:VC, Red Faction 2 and SOCOM online. Gamecube has some good games (Windwaker, Metroid), but it just doesn't occupy my time like the others. Maybe it's the lack of online.

lack of online play doesnt bother me, I honestly dont have the time to play that much lol. I guess Im just not hardcore enough for the Xbox the GC seems to be perfect for me so far. Also in a 1 bedroom apartment makes my living room look bigger

Good for you! My cube is finally plugged in again due to Link.

Haven't touched my PS2 for quite sometime now... only about 1/2 way through Vice City, and haven't picked up Xeno.

I currently spend the most time playing Splinter Cell on my Xbox. I'm sure that will change once I start playing Metroid and Zelda on my cube. I still need to finish Vice City too.

Ghym

I go back and forth between my Gamecube and XBOX. Right now I'm trying to finish Zelda. I have a PS2 as well, but I haven't played it in months.

olie029

Im good with my 2 GC games for now Metroid is good enough. I will probably pick up Skies of Arcadia and Zelda next. I havent touched NFL2K3 yet

I also have recently purchased a GameCube and was wondering what games (old and new) would you consider must have for the system? I already have metroid prime and mario sunshine and plan on getting Zelda. I heard a lot about Animal Crossing..is that game any good? Is it a low priced game now?

olie029

I belive anumal crossing is still full price
This might give you some ideas

well thats what i am going to to after work i think if i cant trade my x-box and games on the trade forum here for a gamecube ois go to eb games. and trade in. while i there i will get zelda adn prime metroid... x-box is ok but gamecube to me is way better after playing it on my friends the other day i think the graphs and games are better..

Good purchase on getting a Wavebird to go go along with your Gamecube, best controller eva!

Metroid Prime rocks! . If you get a chance, be sure to chekc out Eternal Darkness (after you finish metroid and zelda that is).

Outlaw:
I was thinking of that, I saw a pretty decent price for it used. $25 bucks I think on EB.

Glad you like the GC. I've been in the same boat with the x-box (only a couple games interest me), but I haven't bought one yet for that reason.

Lint21

I saw Eternal Darkness at a couple of different Best Buys for $20 (new) lately. Thought about getting it, since it is very highly regarded, but then I remembered I don't really like survival horror games.

Josh H

ED isn't a survival horror game. It's more of an adventure game. You don't have to run from anything. Fighting is encouraged. You always have enough ammo as you almost always have some type of sword, and they are usually much more effective than the guns (with a few exceptions with certain enemies/guns). Even when you want to use a gun, there's usually more than enough ammo.

The only similarity to the RE games is that there's a lot of puzzles, but in ED the puzzles are actually logical, rather than random silly crap like putting things in the eyeballs of statues, putting ants in a music box etc.

That's a ripoff. As mentioned above, BB has the brand new Eternal Darkness for $19.99, and you can get it for $15 + tax with a $5 gamer coupon.

Thanks PAL I hadnt had a chance to swing by a BB, I might go check it out tommorow
