Yeah, Nintendo used to make good Zelda games, then they made one for GameCube. But it looks like they learned their lesson and are going back to the old Zelda formula. Kutos Gamecube. By the way, every GC game I've played you have to read everything single thing in the game. There isn't like a soundcard in the Gamecube.

Thats funny. But there's music and sound effects right? Maybe they're to lazy to do voices, unlike Bungie, they say funny things. By the way, I wonder if there will be more out takes before Halo 2 comes out.

Yeah, there's going to be like 15000 Marine sayings or something. I'm gonna have to devote a whole day to shooting marines and listening to what they say.

LAUGH LAUGH LAUGH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is the most funniest thing I have ever seen!!!! What an idiot!! Giest...I have never heard of that before. Dont care. I dont care about GC. The only thing good that ever came from Nitendo is SNES and a couple of 64 games. SNES is crap now but it was good. Mario was cool. Until they started to make Mario Tenis. That just ruined him there. I bet in the future they will have games like Mario Accountancy and Mario Grocery Shopping!

Lol, that would be fun and funny. Isn't it only like 96 more days, damn that sucks! You know ,I think it was around 60 different things a Marine can say when getting in a Warthog, which will be cool.

New topic: Why Geist will suck!

I just looked at some screen shots, and boy does it look stupid. It looks like a take-off of Half Life or some other game like that. I think GC is trying to look cool, because they don't have any fun FPS's, and so they come up with this game, trying to compete with the all mighty Halo/Halo2. Rediculous. I'm going to go do some more research.

Top Ten Reasons Geist Makes Halo 2 Cry!
We all know about Geist, the visually amazing (umm....LMFAO!) first-person shooter from the boys over at n-Space and today, being the #1 Nintendo fans around, we've got a run down on the top ten reasons why Geist will make Halo 2, or -blam!-lo as I like to call it, cry.

10. Bungie made Marathon, which is dumb (But we are not talking about Marathon, are we? Irrelevant)
9. Master Chief is a boring character that never talks (How does that make him boring? It makes him more badass)
8. Halo 2 has not ghosts (Trust me, it has plenty of Ghosts that shoot two plasma cannons and run people over)
7. Geist lets players control other bodies (That's that game's style of playing, you can't compare that to Halo 2. If you want to talk about features then lets: Geist-Stealing bodies. Halo 2: Duel-Weilding, sprinting, flipping objects to use them for cover, melee attack + combos.)
6. Geist is made by the same developers that made Mary Kate & Ashlee: Magical Mystery Mall (And you said Marathon is dumb? hahaha)
5. Halo 2 is -blam!- (opinion, instantly nullified)
4. Geist is a more pure first person game. Halo 2 has stupid stuff like two guns controllings and vehicles. Is it a fps or a stupid racing game? Geist is pure 100% shooter! (Just because it has vehicles INSTANTLY turns it into a racing game? And duel weilding is still in the FP view and you still shoot, so it's still a FPS)
3. Geist looks better than Halo 2 (Prove it.)
2. Geist doesn't have stupid online play. Online play is just a fad, Nintendo said so themselves. I mean who wants to play online like some PC nerd? I know I don't. Plus Xbox Live has lots of lag. My friend's friend told me that his Xbox caught on fire once. (I won't even comment)
1. Geist sounds cooler than Halo! (Opinion, instantly nullified)

PonyhayStation Goo (WHAT!!!!???) and Xbomb (bomb as in leading in sales?) fans cry away, GameCube is here to stay!

visit my blog, the title is fanboys please stop blogging, i cant be assed to argue with the immature and stupid people of this world, i want to know what you think that doesnt involve the words 'assclown' 'suckass' '-blam!-tard' 'asseater' or 'motherf*****'' everyone knows that halo 2 is better and flaming nintendo or gheist is not helping, its simply encouraging a dying brand to die disgracefully, ladies and gentelmen i implore you, take your hats off to nintendo, its true that they once were great innovators but we neednt shame them for the gamecube or geist, remain silent, respect what is gone and ignore their fanboys eventually they will come to us or sony but if they want to go down with their ship, let them, for the sake of mario and 'rare' who they left. please a moments silence then visit my blog and show your appreciation for the new generation and embrace it. thankyou. http://fanboysattention.blogspot.com/

Bungie.net forums just sunk to an all-time low.

Calling the gamecube "-blam!-cube"? Shows how immature you are.

Most of you haven't even played and beaten any of the gamecube games you are trashing. The fact is, that nintendo makes some of the best games out there. Let's take a look at recent gamecube games from nintendo according to gamerankings.com.

Super Mario Sunshine: Avg. Rating- 92%
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker: Avg. Rating- 95%
Eternal Darnkess: Avg. Rating- 90%
Metroid Prime: Avg. Rating- 96%
Mario Kart: Double Dash: Avg. Rating- 87%
Luigi's Mansion: Avg. Rating- 80%
Pikmin: Avg. Rating- 86%
Super Smash Brother Melee- Avg Rating- 91%
Animal Crossing: Avg Rating- 88%

source- gamerankings.com, averages from major reviewers such as IGN, Gamespot.

I don't think any other game company can keep on this much quality consistency in their games. Remember, these are first and second party games we're talking about. Not third party, as in made by Capcom, Namco, Ubisoft, or Konami. Microsoft hardly makes ANY first party games at all.

Nintendo is not in dead last in console sales. Xbox and Gamecube are neck and neck worldwide last time I checked. Xbox sells a bit more in the U.S., but doesn't sell AT ALL in Japan. Look at these sales figures.

Japanese Console Sales

GameCube: Sales this week- 9,778 Sales all year- 417,078
Xbox: Sales this week- 278 Sales all year- 22, 948

The Playstation 2 is beating both of these consoles by a WIDE margin though, worldwide.

I'll admit sometimes Nintendo doesn't have the most brilliant marketing schemes, and has been making big mistakes these last two generations, but that DOES NOT mean they are going out of business. Not even close. They make millions of dollars and I believe they have more than a billion dollars in the bank last time I heard.

The gamecube is capable of online play. It is possible to play online through LAN tunneling, the same technique many people use to play the first Halo online. It also has 1 online game, Phantasy Star Online.

Though the gamecube is technologically inferior to the Xbox, it is not THAT technologically inferior. The two consoles are actually quite close to each other in technological capabilities, except that Xbox has a built in Hardrive. Memory cards do have their uses. If you want to switch consoles and play your own game on our friend's gamecube, you can.

Nintendo purchased N-Space, the creators of Geist, even though they have made some bad games, and restructured them completely. Last time they did this, with Retro Studios, what became of it was a great game called Metroid Prime, considered to be one of the best games this generation.

The Nintendo DS is a completely different form of hardware. It's innovative, and could make for some crazy games. The PSP, while it will be a good system, is just another gameboy. The discisions up to the people, do they want ports of Ps2 games, or a new breed of videogames?

That list, "Why Geist Makes Halo 2 Cry", was COMPLETE SARCASM. ARE YOU ALL THAT STUPID? It was a joke. GOD. WHY CAN'T YOU PEOPLE GET IT? God... It's not that hard to grasp what he was doing...


"everyone knows that halo 2 is better and flaming nintendo or gheist is not helping, its simply encouraging a dying brand to die disgracefully, ladies and gentelmen i implore you, take your hats off to nintendo, its true that they once were great innovators but we neednt shame them for the gamecube or geist, remain silent, respect what is gone and ignore their fanboys eventually they will come to us or sony but if they want to go down with their ship"

You don't know that Halo 2 is better than Geist. You haven't played either of them. Chances are, Halo 2 will be better, but that doesn't mean Geist will suck. They could both be great games in their own way. Why are you even comparing the two? No ship is going down, Nintendo is staying. Nintendo is still a great innovator and game-maker. Dying brand? What is this?

XBOX AND GAMECUBE ARE BOTH SELLING WELL. NINTENDO IS MAKING TONS OF MONEY WITH SOFTWARE SALES AND HARDWARE SALES.

Bungie is a great developer. Nintendo is a great developer. You are fanboy.

I own all three consoles, and believe that each of them are very good in their own way. Xbox has online and some good third party games, Ps2 has great third party games, and nintendo has great first party games.

I don't usually do this, but it makes me mad that you immature people keep bashing the gamecube and Geist. You don't know whether or not a game is good by reading about it on the internet...


Nintendo's next system, the "Revolution", is supposed to be a new kind of system, a new kind of innovation never before seen in videogames.

NINTENDO IS NOT GOING OUT OF BUSINESS, WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT.

Wow, even more:

Posted by: GC -blam!-s from Across the Internet
Top Ten Reasons Why FPS Games Can Stay Away From GC
So since we ran our top ten on the PlayStation Portable and Ninendo DS we've been getting a lot of attention, and it seems some of the Xbots and PSyborgs don't like the truth. Well the truth sometimes hurts, and with that said, today we give you a run down on the top ten reasons first-person shooters are the worst genre ever, and why GameCube doesn't need titles like DOOM, -blam!-lo, Call Of Duty (for the Xbox? Where!?) and other crappy games.

10. FPS games are boring. All you do is shoot stuff, there aren't any puzzles, you can't collect any items like in Mario, like new moves, fireballs, stars and other kick ass stuff. (*laughing on the floor*)

9. No FPS ever created has ever been innovative. Common, new guns, some extra jumps and bigger maps. OOohhhh, big fricken deal. FPS gamers want to see innovation, check out Mario, Metroid Prime, Zelda, THAT IS INNOVATION, that's where it's at. Word. (*still laughing* Lets give Mario a water gun, INNOVATION!)

8. Most FPS games like DOOM and -blam!-lo, to name a couple, have generic characters and bad graphix. They put all the effort into the guns and bullets, and dont have fun environments, where's the adventure? I'll tell you where, it's in platformers, Pokemon and real games. Not casual crap like Calf-Life 2. (I can't even argue with these utter morons! *still laughing*)

7. FPS games are always delayed too long, look at how long it took for DOOM to come out. It took 3D Realms like what, seven years? I don't know about you, but when that comes out I won't be buying. Who wants ot hear some muscel bound idiot go, "Hail to the King". I mean that's from those crappy Evil Dead movies. (That made no sense. *on the floor laughing*)

6. All genre's, especially fighting games, platformers and role-playing games have stories, FPS games don't. You're just dropped in there and have to go shooting everything. I remember once I was playing Half-Life and they just drop you in, it's totally stupid. They put you on this stupid underground train thing, and then you get off and kill stuff. It's pretty confusing, I couldn't get past the door down the hall after you get off the underground train thingy. (Are you saying HALO: COMBAT EVOLVED doesn't have a story!? And just because all GC people SUCK MY GRANDFATHER'S DICK at FPS's doesn't mean they aren't the best games ever. "I couldn't get past a door, but this stupid button kept saying '(X) to Open'" *continued laughing*)

5. FPS games don't sell well EVER. The best FPS game, I use that term losely of course, was Daikatana, and it only sold like 10,000 copies. Ed Boon and John Tobias should be ashamed of themselves for making a FPS game. Specially after MK. (Don't sell well, as in Halo = 4,000,000? Just checkin.)

4. There have only been a couple good FPS games ever, like Perfect Dark. Since the new games don't use the N64 Memory Expansion Pack like they could, that means that new FPS games could never be as good. It was the pak that made them rock hard, long, smooth and rock hard! YEAH, score another one for both hating on FPS games, and Nintendo's kick ass IP Perfect Dark! (I won't comment since this whole statement has nothing to do with anything.)

3. FPS games don't offer the varities of gameplay that other genres do. Take the great Metroid series for example, it's not a fps, and it has so much variety. Rolling into a ball and blowing stuff up, shooting aliens with multiple types of weapons, it's what gaming is all about. Games that are FPS don't offer that kind of fun, they just have players doint mental stuff like blowing things in to pieces, shooting bad guys with lots of weapons, that kind of stuff. (WHAT!? You just said (QUOTE!), "Metroid has much variety...shooting aliens with multiple weapons. ...FPS don't offer that fun, they just have players that...shoot bad guys with lots of weapons." UHHH...*LAUGHING MY NUCKING FUTS OFF!*)

2. Most FPS games make people violent. DOOM, Half Life, Halo, Call Of Duty, Daikatana, they all make killers. Kids learn how to aim guns and kill people. It's in the news all the time, how players use their mouses and keyboards to laern how to fire guns and murder :( (Yeah, well those are the people that don't have lives are REALLY hardcore people. They make up .0001% of the gaming population.)

*DRUM ROLL!!*

1. FPS games are on Xbox all the time. That's right, as if it wasn't clear enough, stuff like -blam!-lo, DOOM, Chronicles Of Rizzik, all boring, all on the Xbomb. Why would GameCube want that kind of trash. All the games sell bad. (Halo = 4,000,000 sold, Doom isn't even out yet so how do you know?, CoR = 110,000 units in its first three weeks. Yeah, FPS's sell bad.)

On a related note, thanks to totally super fabulous GameCube site, GCAdvanced. Their members are totally on fire! You go girlfriends! Score one for Nintendo! (Wow, they don't even realise they just used stereotypical -blam!--blam!- slang. Talk about -blam!-Cube. =P)

Sorry about that. Its just when I read that blog, it threw me off. You are right. I critizied Xbox when I used to play PS2. He he, look at me now. Again, I don't have anything against Gamecube, I just didn't like what those people said.

God damn...I'm soo hungry, I've been on these forms all mourning. I got to go get something to eat.

I don't see anywhere on their site, "This is all a joke." And blog's usually contain people's real opinions on matters, and they are fanboys, so it all adds up in my book.

That's just a bunch of halo 2 fanboys messing around. Can't you see the irony of the ghosts comment?

PlayfulBuffalo, Thank you.

Thank you so much for being the one reasonable person I've been looking for.

At the beginning of this topic I began listing people who I felt had some sense.. The list grew to about 6 members, then slowly dwindled to 0.

Then, on the last page, you came and said exactly what I wanted to. Thank you.

Folks, the reason we aren't talking about Halo 2 is because this topic wasn't made about H2 - the title said H2 would suck, then the post was about Nintendo Fanboys. There was no going off-topic, because this topic should not have been in New Mombasa at all.

Once again, PlayfulBuffalo, Thank you.

I own an XBox, and while I don't have great love for the PlayStation, (Did you know that that name was Nintendo's idea? Just a tidbit.) I do repect some of the games it has made, and its great success in the market. I am going to purchase a GameCube next year when the new Zelda comes out, because this looks to be a true continuation of the legacy of OoT. OoT, by the way, is hailed as the best game of all time by GameRankings.

I love videogames. I don't hate videogames. If you think you are a gamer, then start sharing in the love of the game, and quit spreading the hatred of it.

Lol, this guy is obviously a Ninty fanboy who is desperate to make Geist look good.

I'm glad someone made him see sense:
Let's see, where shall I start.

10. You obviously didn't play it
9. Oh yes he does... He actually talks a lot in the game, but you can't tell when you never played it.
8. Ever noticed those purple vehicles?
7. You obviously never patched the game and used the Bump Character-cheat.
6. It's Ashley, and that game wasn't all that great.
5. False again, first off, you didn't even play the game yet.
4. What did you say about controlling other bodies?
3. Wrong again, ever saw a screen?
2. That's pathetic. You probably don't like to get beaten up all the time. Xbox Live doesn't have any lag when you have a good connection. And Xboxes do not burn up in flames when you handle it the right way (aka not letting it by actually giving the ventilator some air to cool the box).
1. Wrong again. Geist is a cool name, but it just can't beat the simplicity of Halo. Geist sounds somewhat like -blam!-st (since you like to use that word).


I pretty much copy that all the way through!
