Think of how much time Nintendo had to work on the GC while Dreamcast first came out. Nintendo has YEARS over Dreamcast, if the GC sucked, i would have flamed Nintendo a million times over, because they had lots of time to prepare th GC, its kinda like Comparing Xbox to PS2, PS2 has been out for like 2 years right? of course xbox is gonna have better specs.

Nice post Tails, I was just about to make the exact same point.

........ but at the moment the Dreamcast remains supreme. Seriously though, as a Dreamcaster from Europe we have been treated very poorly. The Gamecube still has no release date and is likely to be delayed until September, while the Dreamcast is already here. They may have stopped making them, but Headhunter and Shenmue 2 show that it still has games, and with Rez and PSO2 coming soon, things are looking bright for Dreamcasters. I personally can't wait for a Gamecube, but the Dreamcast will keep me going until then.

Yes but now you have the Gaint Microsoft in the game and Xbox will own all. They should of put the DC chip in Xbox that would of helped sega out allot.

But they won't. Do you think that PS2 will put a chip in for the Jaguar?

Even with it's edge the cube just dosen't impress me. My cousin got one for xmas and I admit I found myself playing Rogue Squdron but after a half hour of play, I never had that desire to go back like I do with say Halo or Headhunter. The funniest part was during the xmas party my uncle kept calling it a lunch box.

But you will never turn me into a fanboy, more likely than not I will at one time or another own a GC...I never thought I'd have a 64 but then a friend gave me one....I'll wait for that.

Why would sony put a jaguar chip into the PS2?

I like Dreamcast better than the Gamecube.
That is weird for me because I have loved and hated Sega since I was 5 but lately Sega has Been Way better.
And now hen I look back to the SMS it was better than the NES in a lot of ways.
SEGA RULES!

well i got my little bro a GCN for christmas (well i was gonna get one anyways, but the dates just sorta lined up)...
the game i got him to go with it was super smash bros.... now in my own little opinion, this game is a terrible example of what the gamecube can do... its merely a slightly (and very slightly at that) upgraded version of the n64 version.... now that isnt to say its a bad game, in fact i feel my cash was well spent on it, but if one had that and that alone to judge the system on, then id just stick with the n64...
next i rented luigis mansion, and i have to say, i was impressed... graphically as well as in terms of just innovative gameplay (ok, it is just a ripoff of ghostbusters, but its been over a decade, so its new again), it quite exceeded my expectations.... then i went ahead and bought two more games (i was gonna get a ps2, but figured why not get a few more games first?) tony hawk 3 and pikmin...
THPS3 is a good game, but falls way behind 2 on either dc or xbox.... the graphics are slightly better than 2 on dc, but no where near 2x on the box and the framerate suddenly gets cut in half for no apparent reason... it does however run fast, and i found myself having to adjust to the speed when i first played...
pikmin is well...how do i say not possible to compare to anything else... graphically it isnt anything to write home about, and the gameplay is really simplistic, but i find the game pretty fun and all in all a good buy...
but thats not all....as a side note ill mention that my mom rented simpsons road rage (which i found strange considering my mom doesnt watch the simpsons nor does she play video games except for the old nintendo....shes a dcemu fan as well8^] ) and i thought it was gonna be a terrible game based on a terrible concept (ever play simpsons wrestling? i thought it would be something similar), but actually aside from the initial "what a ripoff" feeling every crazy taxi fan will have, and the incredible disappearing framerate (same as hawk), i feel it also was quite well done....
so basically my conclusion is that the gamecube has plenty of games right now to keep people happy, and they are of pretty good quality (although some could use improvements)... basically in comparison to dc, i think dc has more available plus the homebrew bonus, but at this early in dc's life there wasnt anything that could sell the system (aside from sega-love), so i think while dc is a better console to own at this point, i see no reason gamecube wont reach that level... as for comparing to the other big systems, ive only played halo and that god-awful football game for x-box and halo was impressive although it also suffered for the "framerate? what framerate?" problem that i thought was solved on dc but i guess the "next gen" consoles decided to leave it in for a retro feel.... ps2 i want for the 3 sequals (smackdown,GT,and MGS) and just for ps1 use, the rest of the games ive played are complete garbage...

My Mega CD owns you all.... Snatcher is probably one of the best games of all time...

But no-one mention WWF Rage in a Cage

Jeeba Jabba · Post by **Jeeba Jabba** » Wed Jan 02, 2002 5:33 pm

I would play Snatcher if i could find it...

HINT: Never ask for Snatcher in a video game store (EB, Babbages, Software etc.)... they will all laugh at you heartily

Well i'm loving my new XBOX and its the best thing I have bought to date... Back to the topic, I like DC better than GC but I would probably buy one when its 100 or 50 bucks.

Holly Hasney · Post by **Holly Hasney** » Fri Jan 04, 2002 7:00 am

GC has a monkey IN A BALLL!!!!!

XBox has nothing of interest (since WWF Raw is War isn't out yet)

DC has awesome games

PS2 has GTA3, Pro Evoloution Soccer, Smackdown: JBI, Devil may Cry, MGS2....

DC should of been better than all of these consoles since it had a head start and it is in NO WAY looking aged at the moment.... Segam got the damn marketing wrong again........

I dident think my small pointless post would climb this high! I RULE! Anyway the idea is that Dreamcast PS2 and Gamecube are the Video Game rulers... XBOX just plain Sucks... SNES beat the shit out of Genisis ... Sega Master system had everything better than NES... tobad it dident make it far... hand helds are pointless ... YOU CANT BEAT A GAME THAT HAS A MONKEY IN A BALL! Smash Brothers Melee shows great graphical engeneering and shold never agian be hated amogst graphics... what else to say... XBOX sucks ass, agian
