I can't speak for everyone, but for me personally, it was the N64 that was the main reason I avoided the GameCube.

simply put, the N64 was just such a useless system (for me personally) that I converted away from Ninty and over to Sony (PS1 remains my all time favorite system, and there is nothing else that comes remotely close)

I avoided the NGC for so long due to my N64 experience, that I wrongly assumed it had the flaws. It didn't. The GameCube was fantastic.

It was the other way around for me - I was satisfied with the N64 (except the slowdown in some games annoyed me) but GC left a lot to be desired for me.

fair enough friend, and I can understand that sentiment.

for me its just the genres that I play (RPG, survival horror & shmup) of which the N64 was literally a baren wasteland (aside from Ogre Battle 64 and a port of RE2).

The GameCube on the other hand, had some great titles of each (RPG- skies of arcadia, baten kaitos, tales of symphonia, SHMUP - chaos field, ikaruga, SH - all the resident evils and Eternal Darkness)

[QUOTE="Shockwave-DASH"] I still don't know what this thread is about, the TC seemed to be talking about finance ut changed his topic and he's not the only one in the thread to do so. I am confused.Shenmue_Jehuty

You won't be getting an answer... TC's been banned.

Thank God! Although, this victory will be short lived; the TC is like Dracula in Castlevania, he just keeps on coming back over and over no matter how many times you get rid of him.

One does not simply stop Another48Hours/ LastResort/ KillerCannonade... one can only hope to supress the stupidity and trolling for as long as possible.

Could be. Sometimes I think there are less than 30 users on this board.

The only reason PS2 beat GC was third party support. Same with N64. And if GC was such a disaster, how could the wii save them sales wise?

[QUOTE="KillerCannonade"] Failure and Disater or two different words. For Nintendo the system was a disater, in the market it was a disater, compared to the competition it was a disater, it;s support was a disater, profit? Was a disater. Failure would be the word you are looking for. This is "Disater" Spell it with me now D.I>>>S.???A:::S////T----E+++R=Disater.KillerCannonade

Crocneck?

I find it ironic you're telling me to spell disaster when you said "disater."

That's how they spell it in EU/PAl. Just ask any PAl type person. Like here it's COLOR, there it's COLOUR Here it's Disaster, there it's Disater. Pal people until 2008 were also mentally unable to see past 50 FPS for a long time. The more you know.

It's spelled "disaster" as well in Europe. Thanks to the Dreamcast, we had already have 60 Hz available since the 90s.
