I'll tell you what they wrote, and then I'll tell you my opinnion in red.
10. The handle. Okay, so it's a little goofy, but imagine trying to take an Xbox with you to a friends house or on vacation. you would need an industrial crane and a parking permit.
(Ok, Gamecube is small, but why would you take it on a vacation anyway? When I go to Florida, I'm always out going to Disneyworld and Universal studios. Besides, Gamecube shouldn't have been made to take on the road. if it was, then why have a Gameboy advance?)
9. It only plays games. That's right. Anyone who tells you playing DVD's on a game console is a benefit has never had someone moopolize the machine for hours playing Meg Ryan movies while the rental game you have to return in three hours gathers dust.
(What the hell are you talking about NP? Playing DVD's is a great benefit. That way you don't have to buy a DVD player. You get both. And most rental stores let you rent the games for a week, so you have plenty of time to play. And Meg Ryan?)
8. It's more powerful than the PS2. PS2 has slower processors and it's graphics are noticeably inferior to the Gamecube. Sorry- theres nothing funny about that.
(When the hell did you write this? PS2 has got good graphics and recently it's hardly slow. I admit, some games are slow, but take some classics like Final Fantasy X and Kingdom Hearts. There is absolutly no loading involved at all. As for the graphics, A lot of Gamecube games are doing Cel shading. CEL SHADING ABSOLUTLY SUCKS! Why do you think hardly anybody likes the new Zelda? Because of the talking boat?)
7. Gone Platinum. The Platinum Gamecube is a work of art, shiny, sophisticated. PS2 and Xbox look like every other piece of hardware created in the last 20 years, and dust really shows up on those black casings.
(The Mona Lisa. Thats a work of art. The Gamecube is a shiny box. That really makes it superior to PS2 and Xbox?)
6. Controller design. The PS2 controller has way to many buttons, and the Xbox controller was made for a giant or an octopus. Ah, but the Gamecube controller is elegant and practical-and extension of human spirit; an epiphany in plastic; the ultimate interface between mind, body and technology.
(Sounds like your describing a Porno. I can't really vouche for Xbox, but a PS2 has 17 buttons, and their not all scattered around like the gamecubes. Sure, Gamecubes controller only has 11, but they're all over the place. And less buttons gives you less ways to do stuff. Like in some games, you have to hold down a button just to use another. Not like on PS2's.)
5.Experience. Nintendo has consistently produced the highest quality video games for more than two decades dating back to Donkey Kong. You can bet Nintedo will continue to do so in the future. 20 years ago, Sony was making Betamax tape machines and Microsoft hadn't even come up with windows. What will they be doing tomorrow?
(Wow, nintendo made a monkey with a tie and a plumber who saves a princess. Please, give us a break here. I don't really understand how an 8-bit money with 5 sprites can really be called quality. And I'm sure Sony and Microsoft will be doing better things than Nintendo in the future. I mean, if Sony can step up to video games that fast, then think of what they'll be doing soon. And Microsoft just went from a stupid computer program to a pretty decent video game system. And their rich so, just imagine.)
4. The incredible freedom of the Wavebird controller. You can even play from the bathroom. Let freedom ring.
(Question. Why would you play a video game on the crapper?)
3. Gameboy player. More than a hundred million people have gameboys, and we suspect most of them own a game or two (Ya think?). With gameboy player, all those millions of deserving gamers will be able to play their gameboys on the Gamecube as well as on their gameboys.
(ok, so that isn't that bad. I'd love to play Golden Sun on the big screen in the basement. But still, you have to BUY the gameboy player. Atleast PS2 can play PS1 games and thats built in. Will you see and N64 player? Probably not.)
2. Connectivity. Sony and Microsoft can't do it because they don't have Game Boy. They have robotic dogs and word processors. Lets face it, they're not really game companies. But Nintendo only does games, which is why Nintendo inovates ways to play-linking consoles, swiping cards, visiting villages filled with animals and sailing the high seas in a talking boat.
(You what this says to me? Nintendo people are all video game addicts. Atleast Sony and Microsoft have other things their good at. And if they weren't partly video game companies, than why would they have video game systems?)
1. Exclusivity. The Gamecube offers the Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Metroid Prime, Resident Evil Zero, Super Mario Sunshine, Eternal Darkness, Animal Crossing, Star Fox Adventurs, Final Fantasy: Crystal Cronicles, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, Mario Kart, Metroid 2, Star Wars: Rogue Squadron 3: Rebel Strike, Pikmin 2, Resident Evil 4 and Soul Calibur 2 as Link. (Thats 15 exclusive reasons Gamecube reigns supreme.) Try naming 15 exclusive hit titles for PS2. As for the Xbox, you can count the number of exclusive hit titles with one finger.
(First things first, Resident Evil began with Sony. You just bought the idea of Capcom. Not to mention a bunch of other games. For example, there is a game that Nintendo is calling theirs (Megaman 64), when it originated on the Playstation (Megaman Legends). And most of those games are just the same things as their predessesors (Ex: Mario Kart games have basically been the same on each version only with better graphics, and Pikmin 2 is almost just the same as the first). Atleast PS2 and Xbox are original.)
Now as I stated before, I don't have a problem with Gamecube. But when people go around saying stuff like this, that just royaly ticks me off.
