I don't know. The guy here told me the price is 150 euros for Gamecube console with MOD chip. I am thinking of buying it. It is a lot of money for me, especially since I have PS2, but I'd like my share of Zelda, Metroid and stuff like that.
I heard Sunshine-Mario was bad, done very quickly. I remember Yoshi's Island for SNES, and it looked like a PS1 game, a real beauty. They don't make such games anymore. This 3-d graphics never gave the atmosphere of the 2-d 16-bit classics.
But prices of games for GC are acceptable now, especially those at garage sales, I'll think a little more.... I'm afraid later I won't be able to find another GC console since they are more-or-less rare, and in few years they will be as rare as original NES.

(small fee per game though.. something like 5 bucks for nes, 10 bucks for the 16 bit games and 15 for the n64 titles)

I don't know really. I have N64 and played Ocarina of time, so I guess I got in Nintendo-mood.

I get emotional. It seems like yesterday when I got into the shop with my mother and bought SNES. Then all that saliva for the first playstation on magazines. Then the long wait for N64. So much systems, so little time....

I've never bought a Nintendo console, but if you ask me, originality and FUN will triumph over graphics in the end. Looks to me like they might make a comeback
My main concern for the sake of gaming is profits. Already, developers are suffering because rental stores make huge profits off their games without any compensation. Furthermore, games cost like 3 times as much to make now.
If the gaming industry raises, prices, we'll all just end up renting anyways.
Yet, if they lower the developing price, other companies will out sell them.
The game industry is digging it's own grave

Next generation surely needs more imagination, more ideas how to make us surprised. Remember the feeling first time you witnessed "Battle Arena Toshinden"? I'm talking about that feeling. Haven't had it in a while.

As for FF, yeah whatever- FF3 or whatever you call it is the top FF.
And Wii. Well, I wish good luck- I was very sad when Sega left the race, I wouldn't like Nintedo to go to attic as well .
