Its horrible and those stupid controllers make it worse. GC blows

40 bucks for a GBA game? Where the hell do you buy them? I've never seen one gor more than 30 for a brand new game.

Ive never seen a new release game less than $40, anywhere. NOt at Miejer, Kmart, Toysrus, Target,EBGames, nowhere. Ive seen $30 games that were older, but not a new one.

You must live in Canada, because I get a lot of games when they are released and haven't paid more than 30 bucks.

cause I'm not much of a PC gamer. I prefer consoles.

**Karpo_007** · 08-30-2003, 03:47 PM

For the last weeks I have been a PC guy, buing new hardware, doing bios updating etc. Still I wouldn't even consider buing it for PC. While graphics would be better, Pad and a good big screen TV is what the game needs. Especially if you have a frined to play with.

~~Tokka-B~~ · 08-30-2003, 07:44 PM

I only use PC for RTS games. Consoles are better for most everything else, even mulitplayer is becoming more compatible, though more on X-box than the Cube...

So my choice will obviously be getting it for Cube...

*jeff the cheff* · 08-30-2003, 10:03 PM

I dont like they gc controllers cause it seems like all the buttons are in random spots... like the z button

**GK Punk** · 08-31-2003, 09:37 AM

The 'Cube's controller scheme is one of the most comfortable pads I've ever played on. They may not look like it, but they feel really nice in your hands.

Yep. That's why I like it so much. It's really comfortable, and I find all of the buttons are placed accordingly.

**GK Punk** · 08-31-2003, 09:50 AM

Yeah, totally. I'll admit it looks weird, but after playing a couple of games on it, you really start to love it! I couldn't imagine having that system with another controller. metroid, Zelda, Wrestlemania, etc all play so perfectly. So does the Tony Hawk Series. I can't wait to play TMNT using that blissfull heaven sent controller

*cqb101* · 08-31-2003, 09:54 AM

Ya, it's gonna be great. And the controller is almost made for SSB: M.

**GK Punk** · 08-31-2003, 10:21 AM

Oh yeah How could I forget that? That is such an awesome game!

Ya! It's my favorite game for GC. A lot better than Windwaker IMO. Which was way over rated. It wasn't nearly as good as ocarina.

~~Tokka-B~~ · 09-01-2003, 12:23 PM

Yes....still waiting for another sequel though...I'm sure the TMNT game will be fine for the controller, but even if it isn't most games have customizeable controls...

*Dr. Doom* · 09-01-2003, 06:46 PM

Well, yeah, the GC controller works great with Melee, but it took some getting used to.

*Kid Icarus* · 09-01-2003, 11:48 PM

about the controller stuff...

the PS2 controller is the Super NES controller with 2 L and 2 R buttons, handles, and 2 anloge sticks. the handles are flat, and the sticks get in the way of pushing the start and select buttons.

the GC controller is the SNES controller, but the buttons were messed with to make it work more egronomicaly. egronomic controllers let you play longer 'cause your hands won't start hurting. the only button that really dosent make sense is the z button.

I'm not even going to start on the normal xbox controller, other than this: microsoft says they spent a lot of money researching controllers, so i have no idea how they ended up needing to release a smaller controller state side.

I still like my old N64 controllers the most though

.

Anyway, i've changed my mind: before you buy either version, go rent them to decide what one you like more.

*Dr. Doom* · 09-02-2003, 12:12 AM

I have no patience to rent them both, I'm just gonna get GC.
