I agree

While the gamecube games are great graphics wise, alot of them i just get bored with.

Ok, i just grabbed 20 random GC games off my shelf, and i looked, and only 7 out of the 20 i could still possibly play, the rest im bored of and lack interest in.

In my opinoin, GC needs more beat em ups (like the upcomming TMNT game)

and the X-box well... as i said, 1 game is all i wanted, and i though, il give this console a try, and i bought about 10 more games... and well.. they didnt last more than about an hour, i got bored with them, they didnt interest me.
Microsoft shouldnt have made a Console, they should stick what they are Worse at making, and thats Windows. They should work more on the bugs and glitches in our OS. and not some cheap marketing ploy called the X-Box

agreed, micorsoft should stay to one thing, instead of sucking up awhole bunch of other stuff.

Few corrections to the budding console war. note, these are not oppinions, but actual hard facts about the 3. Keep in mind that Krang deleted this in another thread a while back.

PS2 had over a years lead on GameCube and X-Box. X-Box launched approx. one week before GameCube.

Statictics say that GameCube and X-Box are more or less even as far as graphics go, but with processor power the X-Box wins because for save data it has to search a much larger hard drive to access save data, and it has to transfer the larger file sizes quicker. GameCube's games data is compressed extremely small, so it dosn't need the raw speed.

Another thing to remember, regardless of what company you support: consoles are getting to the point where graphic upgrades are not going to as noticable. If they improve much more, games are going to be much much more expensive due to development fees and time. If you notice, PC's have, for the most part, hit this wall.

Now, on to the actual topic: TMNT is a liscensed game, meaning the only people who are going to pay attention to it are the fans of the toys/cartoon/comics, or people who like old school beat-'em-up games.

I played the game at E3 and I liked it a lot.
Out of everything I saw in the 2 days I was at E3, it is the game I have been most eagerly anticipating. It is also very nice looking. The cel-shaded look was definitely the right choice. The Giant Mouser and Nanobot boss stages looked pretty fun too. It is 2 player on all 3 consoles. I think it comes down to game mechanics. I think the consoles would perhaps be too taxed if they faced using 4 charcters plus all the enemies at once. I am not positive about this, but it seems there may be a fighting mode also where you can pit charcters against each other a la Street Fighter. There were only 2 stages playable at E3 and the versus option was not one of them. I vaguely remember seeing something which led me to believe there was a versus mode, but I could be mistaken.

The GBA game, on the other hand was not fun at all. Terrible play control.

RIC: For a joke, get this guy the TMNT game for his 10th b-day (well, that's about how old he sounds to me considering his opinions on graphics this and graphics that...)
