seems like Eternal Darkness & Star Fox Adventures will be coming out later in the Second Quarter. To be totally honest this Lineup isn't exciting one bit. Than again GameBoy Advance seems like its doing well.

Gah... Lotsa ports.. I want original 1st party Nintendo stuff like Mario Sunshine, Starfox, and Zelda... Not Gauntlet: Dark Legacy (which isn't a bad game but I've had it on PS2 for months already...)

Actually though, I am looking forward to Smashing Drive. I actually played that in the arcade this past summer and I liked it alot.

Personally I'm looking forward to Bloody Roar more than Star Fox.

Dammit, thats a pretty weak ass lineup. Looks like my Smash Bros. game is gonna have to last me a long ass time.

No Perfect Dark Zero! SPIN your right you betta enjoy Smash Bros for a while.

eternal darkness is still rumored to be having severe problems which constitutes some possible re-working.

i'm really feeling left out in the cold regarding the gamecube...guess nintendo didn't learn anything from the n64. its future was bright back in september.

The lineup is weak right now. It will get better, so just put your Cube to the side and focus on something else right now, go back to it in a few months when more stuff is available.

I know a guy who already traded his Cube in because he was sick of the launch titles, and nothing really promising was coming out for awhile. He will be kicking himself a few months down the road.. especially when we see the new Zelda, Metroid, Mario, Resident Evil, ad nauseum. <IMG SRC="smilies/glee.gif" border="0">

BioHazard for GameCube! <IMG SRC="smilies/drool2.gif" border="0">

Im looking forward to resident evil and metroid prime the most right now.

Actually though, I am looking forward to Smashing Drive. I actually played that in the arcade this past summer and I liked it alot.

Click to expand...

So am I I like that game. <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

Ouch! that is a pretty weak lineup.

Where's PSO?

The only games that look worthy on that list to me seem like
Smashing Drive
Gauntlet: Dark Legacy
Spy Hunter

And all of them can be had for other systems.
Sad.

Smashing Drive looks really cool. I'd rather have it for GC than X-bullocks. A fun game in the arcade. Crazy taxi meets racing games.

I'm glad I didn't waste money on a GC early on.

With only 5 games worth my time
(Monkey Ball, Smash Brothers, Smashing Drive, Gauntlet: Dark Legacy, Spy Hunter)

I just don't have the money for it right now..
