I think we could all see this one coming a mile away, but it's nice that it's all official. You can go check out the story at GameSpy Daily here.

Yeah.

UK has already had its price drop. XBox is still the most expensive of the three consoles. GC is by far and away the cheapest

Thats great.

Finally its at a reasonable price.

Dreamcast sounds good. There are plenty of games that are DC-only that I wish I had played. Perhaps I'll pick it up some day. I'd say the same for Gamecube; the ONLY game I want to play for that "kiddie"-like system is Resident Evil, it looks so great!

Blah...sold my DC ages ago; pretty much played all the exclusive titles. Very much worth the $50 at the time.

As for the Gamecube, I pity anyone who calls it a "kiddie system"

But just LOOK at it! It's a freaking purple box and the only games that are out are those oldschool Mario games. I'm not saying anything about Mario except its for kids, and so far that is what's being made. Now I would shutup when the developers will make some more Mature rated games on that system...

If anyone hates the color purple, then it is available in other colors...~~!

Just look at Resident Evil for GC and the upcoming Die Hard: Vendetta...

EvilFoo · May 13, 2002, 05:17 AM

Ah I just said purple just to make my point; my main point is that there are too many Everyone-rated games for it...

Well I already mentioned Resident Evil so that doesn't count >:o Okay so that's only ONE mature game, so what? I said I wanted MORE! Personally I haven't liked any of the Die Hard games that have come out on any platform, I doubt this "Vendetta" will be any better.

Well just wait and see...I just hope Nintendo aims towards gameplayers of all ages; also look for Turok: Evolution (though not GC exclusive).
