GameCube: Worth it?

**Josep** · June 10th, 2002, 05:54

I dunno for other people, but the GC just dropped 50 bucks where i live, now currently $150 bucks

Anyone think its worth it? I've heard recent limitations on the GC that with those mini discs they can't hold much data, blah blah blah, and the games don't have much of anywhere to go? Anyone beg to differ? I kinda of want to get one, but i don't know how they are going to last game-wise.

Look at the play station. if need be a game will be put on mulitple disks. and i ASURE you that when Zelda comes out it will be SO WORTH IT.

hehe, i sure hope so

i've heard that the broadband adapter for GC will be only $39.99, very promising...keeping in mind the broadband adapter for the dreamcast was over $119.00 last time i checked...

/me slaps Josep for listening to those crazy people

oh course the discs can hold a hellova lot and of course there will be multiple disc games.

Have you played any games yet? people i know have Monkey ball, Wave race, rogue and ssbm, and already we have done like 4 overnighters of just playing them

Games to come in the future? didn't yo see E3, Metroid, Mario and Zelda. Besdies them and in the closer future we have eternal darkness, monkeyball 2, animal crossing, starfox.....the list just goes on.

Put it this way, if you can afford it and a couple of games, it'll be one of your best buys ever.

hehe, ok, just wanted to make sure the gamecube would be promising, like, the games i would buy for it would only be for it and not my pc

usually they aren't, but i don't want a ps2...i already have a stand alone dvd player

And x-box, o wait, yea i have a computer with a better video card

Isn't there going to be a keyboard and stuff with the GC soon? or was that something else? btw, does anyone know if gamecube uses Component cables? would like this to be on my HDTV

**blizz** · June 10th, 2002, 06:45

RF and SCART as far as I know

**Reznor007** · June 10th, 2002, 07:06

Gamecube supports RF, composite, Svideo, Component, and on progressive capable screens 480P HDTV mode. Also, in Europe it supports RGB/SCART.

The discs are 1.5GB...Zelda:OOT was 32MB...think about that for a sec

Yes, there is going to be a keyboard/controller, its being made for PSO atm, but other games will probably support it later. But it does take 2 controller ports, so u can only have 2 at a time. IMO you should wait until the end of the year to buy a GC. There isn't anything that good out yet (resident evil, if u live where its out, and smash bros are probably the best available) but around xmas there should be a huge amount of great games released.

**Josep** · June 10th, 2002, 07:44

well, this local place is selling it for $149 right now, with a free controller, for just one week

hehe, kinda makes you rush into it, and i'm guessing GC won't drop anymore for awhile, even till xmas? doesn't seem like it will now, I'll more than likely just get it tommorow

i haven't bought a console in awhile, the controller is included with the retail package right? i'm not going crazy?

just making sure

**Reznor007** · June 10th, 2002, 08:08

The console comes with 1 controller in the box.

Also, there are plenty of good Gamecube games. I have 9 myself, and I don't have Pikmin or Waverace yet.
