And I didn't mean for you to take my previous post as a personal attack on you. I'm sorry you took it that way. :sigh
Thats ok, man. I just get defensive when people claim I'm a Sega/Sony/Microsoft fanboy, and against Nintendo. I know YOU didnt, personally, but you know what I mean. I agree that Nintendo has made SOME mistakes here and there, like the virtual boy, Virtual Boy 2.. er.. i mean Gameboy DS, and no real Online Strategem for the GC, but I still stand by them. My favorite company is SEGA, but hey, Nintendo is a great contender. =)
When I included the GC in the price list, I actually meant to.. You see, at some point, you actually DO have to buy a Gamecube, for the specific game, (or another). For me, I had to buy the GC for 4 reasons.
1. Nintendo's new Console
2. Mario Sunshine
3. Zelda: Wind Waker
4. Metroid Prime (just beat it last night)
So basically, if I didnt have a GC, and figured I had to play CC, (which at some point, i would like to) I would have to buy the console, and another $100 piece of hardware to get the full experience of the game, and of course the $50 for the game, or $40 if its used. Ive heard its kind of dull on single player, but I cant back that up because I havent played it at all yet. So anyway, in order to play the game as it should be, I would have to spend money on extra hardware. I like how the GBA can unlock stuff on certain games, but I don't really like the idea of using it as my preliminary controller. I already have 4 controllers for my GC (Double Dash!! goodness). I know that people have talked about the GBA not stopping the game mid-fight in order for someone to fiddle with their inventory, but thats the thing.. its an RPG, and most (not all of course) RPGs are turn based... why not just keep with that method, and use the regular GC controllers? I dunno, if the GBAsp was say, $50, rather than full Gamecube price, I would be more inclined to purchase one, but since I'm jobless at the moment, I cant afford it, much less 3 more for my firends.
