Best video game system out right now? Options

[gcpnoy]

I am a Nintendo fanatic and I think the GameCube has the best variety of games right now. All PS2 and Xbox have are First Person Shooters and Role-Playing games. Nintendo has all the classic character most of us grew up with. Mario, Link (from Legend of Zelda), Samus Aran (from Metroid), Donkey Kong and Nintendo owns Pokemon. What do you think?

Hell NO I hate gamecube, the graphics suck and the controls are horrible,
dont get into arguments cuz im a got to the techno shiot
1. Nintendos disk storage is HORRIBLE, they use 60mm disk identical to the upcoming Playstation Portable, and i bet it only has 1.8, which they also use compressing technology to make it 2 to 2.5 gigs, but u gotta compress the crap out of it.
2.This produces alot of bad effects, grahpics are subpar, features in games, this sums it up the features include music,levels,characters stuff like that compare nit 2 tony hawk 3 GC version: they lsoe like 2 lvls and like 2 secret chars
PS2 version:normal everything intact XBOX version: everytyhing wuith even bettter graphics and a new lvl

Plus gamecube does not have any online plans, You can get a network adapter but damn u gotta go order online or u can enver find one
plus the only online game (or atleast i think this is the only online game) is Phantasy star online, Which 2 play properly u need the foloowing acessorys
1.network adapter
2.keybord 2 play
3.game
4.member id
5.monthly fees
that adds up 2 like 200 dollers im mean cmon WTF

Then theres the controler, that stupid controls, it sucks its unbalanced on the right side, with the z and the right trigger
sure the control may look neat with the button next to the b and a but they really do suck and are a pain in the ass

So this is 3 of the many reasons y GAMECUBE SUCKS

IMHO, gamecube is better than the other 3 consoles. It beats playstation in horsepower and Xbox in quality of games. I buy Nintendo because the games released on their consoles have the best gameplay, period. Xbox and PS2 can't deliver this. Nintendo has the best exclusive games. And best of all, Gamecube has the most bang for the buck at only $99.

Online play: Have you ever heard of warp pipe? And stop complaining, for PS2 you need all of that and more. Lets see, for FFXIXIXIXIXIASIFASDIFASIDF (I stopped counting when the games started getting bad, which is about V i believe)...

Broadband adapter

Monthly Fees
Hard Drive

That's a lot of money.

The controller is arguably the best out of all three. I've never had any problems with the control config, none of my friends have either, maybe it's because you're not very good at nintendo games, which have a higher level of gameplay than mindless killing. The PS2 controller isn't bad, just sometimes, it malfunctions (it's happened with several of my friends controllers). The XBOX controller just sucks (the original one, which most people have). Much of the surface area is taken up by the big XBOX gem in the middle, compliments of microsoft. They tried to copy the dreamcast controller (IMO, in the top 3 for best controller) and failed miserably.

Now let me get into reasons why PS2 and XBOX aren't so great.

PS2 was rushed, so the technology isn't up to par. XBOX doesn't have the software companies to support them like Nintendo and Sony do. PS2 is basically being carried by the Final Fantasy series. This is trouble considering Square was pretty much forced to merge with Enix after their horrible Final Fantasy movie. Plus, square isn't exclusively with Playstation anymore, we're seing FF come out on GBA as well. Game companies for xbox and PS2 are losing money because mod chips and media for games are widely available. This is where gamecube's disc size helps. Harder to pirate, meaning more money goes to the developers, meaning they can continue to develop high quality games in the future. This is one reason why the Dreamcast went under, the lack of copy protection severely hurt their profits.


Well that was fun, hopefully I've convinced a few people that gamecube is not a terrible console, and if not, i'd like to hear some feedback.
