Wanna Buy A Second Gamecube

[skysnapper]

The Gamecube has nothing like the quantity of games as PS2 or Xbox - But the quality of games overall is just amazing!

I bought it a year ago for £60 as a second gaming machine (I have a reasonable PC which will run most new stuff) but it really has taken over as my main gaming platform now. I've got about 30 or so games ,most of which are great quality and cost less than a tenner each from sellers on amazon.

It would take a new 'no one lives forever' game to tempt me back of the cube right now I reckon! And the stuff thats coming out in the next few months does look good.

The cube is one of the best gaming bargains around.

​

Agreed Last console i bought was a psx when it first came out back in .. 94 or 95 (quite simply it blew me away at the time when it first came out.. but got bored after a owning it for year)?
No console has interested me since as i have a well a specced pc, so for more mature, indepth and fps games, eye candy nothing compares but the cube has a certain charm about it and the games offer something a little bit different, more pick and play. Its been the only console which has actually made me consider buying a console again. And its been refreshing and fun Hence i will go for the Nintendo DS over the PSP

Get an xbox or a ps2, much more worthwhile

No not true.Maby an xbox cause with certain mods you can play burnt ps2 games.But the cube is definitly worth more then the ps2 any day.

​

Bullshit.

If you shove a PS2 in it?

Its impossible for an Xbox which runs at less than a ghz (750mhz?) to emulate a console that runs at anything near the speed of a PS2. It is also impossible to run native playstation 2 code on an xbox. FFS if it can almost handle N64 a PS2 is alot better and there arent even any good PC PS2 emus.

That's what they said about the gp32_console . :lol:

this is pretty off topic
but why was there never a mod chip made for gamecube
it's kind of weird i don't know this

 

[mattmagoo]

I suggest the Gamecube for multiplayer. Mario Kart: Double Dash, Timesplitters 2, Super Smash Brothers Melee, Soul Calibur II, hell, even Donkey Konga (just realised most of these are sequels) are extremely fun. For single player, you have Twin Snakes, Mario Sunshine, Wind Waker, but not much collectively - a PS2 would be better (Grand Theft Auto: SA etc.)

​

not forgetting FZeroGX, Mario Party, Wario Ware, Mario Golf

​

because Ninty are the only ones who make the compatible discs, and you cant attach a HDD

but if you are desperate then use PSO and a link to youre PC to hack it (slowly)

 

[PinkSpider]

Im gonna get a DC after all because; I already have 2 pads, I have a lightgun and a few vmus and an arcade stick. Also the games a downloadable and neo geo emulation and i think mega drive is fullspeed now.

Good choice - if your dreamcast is a fussy eater like mine you should even have enough coasters to go round when all those gamers stop by.

Seriously tho' it might be worth getting original versions of just the games you play the most - if you play a lot (their pretty cheap).

My dreamcast is starting to be a bit erratic cos of all the time I spent playing a CDR copy of virtua tennis. I've mistreated the laser quite badly so I only use it as an emulation box now.

​

You're going to hell!

 

[kuriboh]

I read that but guess I wasn't in this world. Did you say you beat it with a hammer? explain. :huh:

 

[PinkSpider]

It was given to me by someone I hate; I took a hammer to it when drunk; nuff said. I did however sell a couple of his peripherals to buy a coupld of pints tho :/

I used to be very depressed.
