GCN, PS2, or XBOX?
 
I choose Nintendo GameCube! Nintendo all the way!! No matter what people say Nintendo is and will always be better than Playstation 2 ans X-Box!!!!

Jolty-kun July 10th, 2004 3:16 PM

Gamecube!, do ask me why!, maybe because its more interactive!

swordkirby537 July 10th, 2004 3:19 PM

I always think that Nintendo makes the best games.

Jolty-kun July 10th, 2004 3:21 PM

mmmm, like the sonic heroes for gamecube is much better than ps2 one

aaaaaa July 10th, 2004 5:57 PM

*shrug* PS2 outsells the GCN and the Xbox combined at my store. And it's the most expensive ($282AU for PS2, $137AU for GCN, $212AU for the Xbox).
I have them all, but Squaresoft's PS2 outings have bought me the most pleasure.

jokestr2004 July 11th, 2004 4:25 PM

Well, I pick GCN, not just because of the Nintendo-Fanboy I am... but polls prove its the favorite.

Sure, most polls "Which is your favorite Next-Gen console?" would say PS2... but GameFAQ's recent poll "Which console had the best E3 lineup" said GCN did, so, despite what most people choose, there's proof that Nintendo makes the "best" games.

Metroid Prime i think, was one of the best games of 02', a Nintendo Exclusive...

And aside from GCN, Nintendo itself has been the most successful video game company, owning two of the highest-selling games ever... SMB3 and Pokemon Yellow, and then some. LoZ: OoT is usually on many lists of the Best Game Ever, one of the 3 or 4 10.0 games on GameSpot and such. And I'm confident Nintendo will keep this up.

So I guess... simplified, my answer's GCN.

Hmm so you think just because a poll show's the overall amount of people like Nintendo better, means it has better games? nope that's defiantly not true.. Actually one of the main reason why it's so popular is because it aims for the younger audience in many of the games..(also it has been out for far longer then a PS2 or w/e so no surprise it has soo many votes) No I'm not saying that only young kids play it, just making a point. Yes Nintendo itself may have high selling game's but that doesent make it the best.. now it may be the best to some of you, but it doesent make it overall best because of how many copies of games are sold. Saying it's the best is like saying men are better then woman & Vice-Versa. Yes I am, and always will be a Nintendo Fan.. I grew up with it, and I always loved the games a lot.. Now that I matured I dont like it as much, but it still satisfys me from time. Like I said in a previous thread.. I like my PS2 & Nintendo systems equally. I cant possibly choose between them, because each have different games, with different styles.. so I switch between both of them until I'm satisfied.

Yeah, I'm also a huge Nintendo fanboy. Just a few years ago I'd have cursed the names of PS2 & Xbox, but now that kinda stuff just really doesn't matter to me anymore. I play & enjoy games on all consoles.

Deep down inside though, Nintendo will always be my #1.

mewruler July 11th, 2004 8:59 PM

Nintendo all the way thats why i bought it it has such great games.

You're right. I'm wrong. I'm Dumb. BLaH.]

But ummm yeah GCN aims for a wider array of audiences than PS2 and XBox. A lot of kids and teens love GCN games, while mostly teens and older prefer the other two...

i vote PS2, I think it's a better console than GC and XBOX

Greetz,

Arcanine July 11th, 2004 10:31 PM

Well I always like Nintendo and I also like my GC better then my PS2 so yea I'm going with the GC over the PS2 and the X-Box.

Timbjerr July 12th, 2004 7:00 PM

You've gotta appreciate Nintendo for its longevity in the business (coming on 25 years of bringing us gaming satisfaction). Nintendo almost monopolizes the business when it comes to creating classic games and timeless characters. This is why games like SSB64 and SSBM are so popular. I don't think Sony or Microsoft can come up with games featuring characters diverse enough to make a successful SSB rip-off.

jokestr2004 July 12th, 2004 9:32 PM

Heh, well put. Couldnt say it better myself... but uhh he's right... PS2 and XBox basically have the more 3rd-party support only because they actually NEED it to be successful. Nintendo has the ability to create extremely popular, and some legendary, characters without the aid of others, though they do get help from some of the best 3rd parties like Sega and Namco.

Still, why Rare was sold over to Microsoft is a complete mystery to me... oh well! Donkey Kong, StarFox, and hopefully Banjo-Kazooie will live on in the future of Nintendo.

Cinder the Chao July 13th, 2004 9:33 AM

Im votin 4 GCN. PS2 is pretty cool, and, IMO, the X-Box is an expensive paperweight.

jokestr2004 July 13th, 2004 10:05 AM

Yes... *shudder* XBox's only good purpose is Target Practice with a pistol. 'Cause I heard its exterior is strong enough to handle a bullet shot, though the system would quit working.

Fox_Die July 13th, 2004 10:11 AM

My favorite is the PS2 and the GC, but I like PS2 more, becaue of GTA, Final Fantasy, Dark Cloud, Jade Cocoon, Kingdom Hearts, Tekken, Devil May Cry, Chaos Legion, but I dol like most GC games but PS2 is better

*gasp* Someone else who likes Jade Cocoon. *dies of shock*

Well I like Gamecube. And Gamecube will almost definitly win this poll seeing as the last one of these it won as well. PokeCommunity is full of Gamecube fans. Yay!

Kyosuke July 13th, 2004 11:52 AM

To tell you the truth I don't have a favourite, all of the systms have at least some good features about them its hard for me to compare, with the Metroid Series for Gamecube, The Final Fantasy and Gta series for PS2, and the Halo series (and hopefully Ninja Gaiden)for Xbox, but the system I have the most respect for is Gamecube because of the history behind it.

mewbaby July 19th, 2004 4:33 AM

yeah my 100th post

i think playstation 2
i never played on the playstation 1 much
but playstation 2 is quite handy
because you can play dvds,music (cd`s) plus playstaion 2 and 1 games

playstation 2 rules

Brittany July 28th, 2004 3:09 AM

Playstation 2 is way better than Gamecube or Xbox.
Square-Enix games are all the best! Final Fantasy VII is the greatest game of all time and its made for/by Playstation/PS2, so it could win my vote any day, but there are also more reasons why I think PS2 is better. PS2 features free online gaming and DVD player. The Grand Theft Auto series was made for PS2. Tony Hawk's games are best on PS2.
The games for PS2 are more defined and are for more mature audiences. Gamecube's games tend to be more childish and have low replay value.

Obviously, more people dont agree with me(according to the poll) but then again, this is a Pokemon forum, so that is not surprising. I actually don't like ANY GCN games at all, not even Pokemon Collesium.

I also prefer the PSP over the DS. Again, the DS shows more childish games (super mario 64x4, sonic, donkey kong) I like the two-screen idea, but when you think about it, theres really no point in having it.
On the contrary PSP has Final Fantasy titles awaiting it, Final Fantasy VII-AC is coming onto PSP, Tony Hawk's Underground 1&2, Grand Theft Auto games are in production, and Have U SEEN The Graphics on that!!! It looks as good a a PS2!

Since this is a POKEMON community, almost all your votes are gonna be nintendo for sure..The thing about nintendo is that...wait...WHAT!?

WHO VOTED FOR X-BOX!?!? DIE!

Kipkip July 28th, 2004 5:02 AM

I said Xbox. That was a though choice between Gamecube and Xbox. But my Halo fanboyism tells me Xbox. Also, I like the game choice on Xbox better than the Gamecube. PS2, in my opinion, doesn't have that good of a game choice at all. Dang, I haven't played my Gamecube since I got the Xbox. I another game for it.

Eh heh heh ...I voted for Xbox. It just has all my favourite games on it, and I actually like the big controller.

tyroge12 July 28th, 2004 5:48 AM

I have all three and i have to say that xbox is the best, i love the controller S, it is proven to have the best graphics, Xbox live is much better than ps2 online and nintendos sad attempt at online gaming. The games are about tied, and you dont even need a memory card the Hard drive has 50000+ blocks for game space, i have about thirty games and their saves havnt even made a dent in the disk space number, but i do hve to hand it to gamecube for pikmin, metroid, animal crossing and colleseum but thats about all they have good(oops forgot ssbm)

Oh and britny, id dont know why you say ps2 games are more mature than xbox, xbox has both gta games too and their online play is still charged for games like everquest and now xbox live has madden YAAAAAAAAAAY
and i dont think final fantasy is a very mature game unlike halo where you can attach grenades to aliens heads and watch them scream and claw at it untill they finally blow up leaving all kinds of blood everywhere and now xbox is getting manhunt the craziest gane of all
