Well, the GameCube has better graphics than the PS2. There alot of good games for the GameCube too (RPGs, fighters, adventure). If you have a GBA this would also be a good buy if you get the right games and an adapter cord.

I was not really interested in the Nintendo Gamecube at all. Becuase I had a PS2. The reasons I was not interested in a GC because,

1. I dont have a GBA/adapter.
2. The games sucked (Melee was good)
3. It only plays GC games.

But Now...

I have to say GC is the 2ed Best system ever created!!


The Better Games -- Sooo many bettter games are coming out!!

- Starfox _ A 4 Player shooting 3ed person game you go in diffrent veichels, tanks, planes, and diffrent guns, with a great story line in story mode.

- MaroKart: Double Dash!! _ This is the best racing game. its 8 players, yes 8! you link up 2 gamecube systems/tvs and 2 characters ride on 1 cart! one thows items, other drives.

- Ultimate Muscle
- Custom Robo
- Viewtaful Joe
- Mario Party 5
- Splinter Cell

well if you get a gc, definately take a look at getting the GC version of Soul Calibur 2, Crazy Taxi, and of course, Wind Waker. All are mostly worthy of your time.

Be patient, and Nintendo just might steal...erm buy each title that other systems had anyway. cough resident evil, hack cough. A PS2 is much more worth your time if you have interest in older PS1 games....which can be played on a PS2...opening a huge area of games you can pick up from your local EB. Just a thought.

Or a $10 MadCat video switcher (if you don't have the AV Imputs for multiple systems) and a $20-40 Playstation system (either the original "PSX" or the newer PSOne) and you can play all those old games without having to fork over the $150-$170 for a new PS2.

Mind you, you lose the ability to play PS2 games, but it's still a cheap alternitive, and the original Playstation games aren't too horrible :grin:

...Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't we already cover that? I thought that was only a rumor (though I didn't/don't know about Nobuo Uematsu). Besides, what one person doesn't like, there's another person somewhere that will. I'm still going to look into it. Even if Mr. Nobuo left Square, there are other good composers, too.

Hironobu Sakaguchi hasn't left Square. He is working on other stuff currently and hasn't had anything to do with FF:CC except as the role of lead director and consultant. Akitoshi Kawazu(the creator of the Saga series and the head of Game Designer Studios) is doing Crystal Chronicles.

Secondly, while it's true Nobuo Uematsu isn't doing the music for FF:CC, he hasn't left Square either. Square-Enix has other great composers besides him and while he is one of the best, a game isn't going to be bad just because he isn't doing it. Kumi Tanioka, who also did the music for the online Final Fantasy XI, is composing the score so it should be interesting to see what he can do.

Anyway, I just found out that the game has been delayed until Febuary 9th, 2004.

Nobou Uematsu is my all-time favorite composer (John Williams, James Horner, and Jerry Goldsmith are close second, third ... forth) - and I was pretty bummed when I heard he wasn't working on CC, but like MasterDias said - they're are many other good composers out there, and I'm sure that FFCC will have the same music feel to it as the other FFs. Even if it doesn't - that's ok, because the game will still be fun.

It got delayed? Well I feel like pouting now. I'll just have play FFX-2, Soul Caliber 2, and the new Harvest Moon until then - and that's far from a complaint.

Why Cwp does not like game cubes. In no order whatso ever

1.They don't play Dvds
2.They're all purple
3.The games are targeted to younger kids
4.It's hard to get in your T.V. box, because it's a cube
5.Final Fantasy does not come out on it and when it does they ruin it
6.Your selection is limited to Nintendo games (Nothing against Mario)
7.You can't play past N64 games.
8.You most likely won't be able to play game cube games on the new sys.
9.They have a du,mb commercail

Every has an opinion, so here's my take, I'm also bored.

1. I buy game consoles to play games, not movies. Beside, I already have five dvd players (2 on my main computer, 1 on my old one, xbox, and the good 'ol Apex, the hacker's dvd player.)
2. Personally, I'm sick of the purple remark. I gots me a black one.:)
3. Yes, it is limited to Twin Snakes, Resident Evil (insert a number), and Eternal Darkness and it does seem like it's target to a younger audience, but does a game really need a "M" rating to be fun?
4. I haven't had a problem with that, my xbox is another story
5. WHAT? NINTENDO RUIN FINAL FANTASY? I think not. Now, the PC might with FFXI.
6. I have 26 GC games and 16 of them are third party titles, but I think the maker of the system should make the games, cause they know how the system works.
7. Why do people want to play N64 game? Well, except for Ocarina of Time, but it was available on GC with Wind Waker. Mine complaint is: Why can't I play snes game on it? :)
8. Truthfully, I think you might be able to, seeing that we're all sticking with the dvd/cd format.
9. In my opinion, most video game commercial are lame
10. THE WAVEBIRD IS AWESOME!!!!!!! (just had to that throw that in to make it an even 10 :))

-this is only my two cents, though

Oh, and not just RE and Twin Snakes... Also Metroid Prime, what about that... Yeah, it's FPS, but I mean it's metroid... Prime target is nostalgic adults, even if it was a teen rating...

And, soul calibur was nice, even though I'm not a fighting game fan this particular one made me excited about a fighting game for the first time since ergheiz (and that was only exciting for cloud...) Wait, doesn't the PS2 version of SC have cloud in it? Hehehhe... Well, the GC version has link in it... Yeah, anyhow...

Crystal Chronicles doesn't look like it will be that good, but none of us have played it yet, so how will we really know?

Yeah, MP was a mix, but a few people I know complained that it wasn't bloody enough. I just asked them "why does it have to be bloody?" Their reply was "It's cooler that way."

No, the PS2 version has that Tekken dude, I can't spell his name.

True about CC, time will tell.

I think you are being a bit unfair. Sony and Microsoft did their fair share of stealing too. Sony stole Grand Theft Auto (not that I care) and SEGA made Shenmue II X-Box only for the US AFTER saying it would be a Dreamcast exclusive becuase Microsoft paid them big bucks.

As far as backwards compatibility goes, the GBA tops PS2 with better compatibility for older games (though some GBC games are a bit dark, good lighting or the GBA SP can fix that problem. Some PSX games don't work right on PS2, but most GB/GBC games work fine on GBA). Also for $49.99, you can get the GBA player for GameCube that allows you to play the entire library of GB/GBC/GBA games on GameCube, with the exception of Kirby's Tilt and Tumble. I love PSX and it's games, but I heard that the backwards compatiblity, while cool, is not as reliable as the Game Boy Player/GBA backwards compatibility. Some PSX games don't work right on PS2.

Now is a good time to be getting a Cube. $99 for the system and Metroid Prime is now $29.99. I decided that I am getting one for Christmas and I chose Metroid Prime and F-Zero GX for my first games.

Metroid Prime becuase it's supposed to be huge with all of the elements that make the other Metroid games great plus some cool unlockables. F-Zero GX becuase I love F-Zero games and has tons of modes and unlockables. It even has some trademark cheesy voice acting that often appears in some SEGA games (or so I heard. It was actually designed by SEGA this time around).

PS2 is probably a good choice, but I can't think of too many games worth getting for Xbox that aren't on PC (except maybe Jet Grind Radio Future). As you can tell, I'm not a big fan of Xbox at all and I'm 24 years old. PS2 does have alot of good games and does outdo the GameCube variety wise. GameCube has the best first party support and has some killer games. GBA has excellent first and third party support and some killer games (sorry, I just had to mention it becuase I love this system).
