It had some good games. I wasn't too fond of the cartridges though.

Yeah, especially when the PS was already using discs~

Carts are pretty cumbersome for consoles. Handhelds ... it works for them pretty well.

It kinda sucked when they made the GCN. All those old games you had for the 64 couldn't be played on it. I mean if you were planing on trading your 64 in to help get the GCN then it sucked.

Yeah, I could understand that D:

But I'm glad they mad OoT and M'sM for the GCN <3

Fellow Nintendo gamers. I have come here to show some of the most unsual and yet unique hardware that was cease to ever be release for the Nintendo Gamecube.

Be hold the 1st item to be discussed and that is the SD-Memory Card Adapter.

Currently scheduled for release in Japan on July 18th, 2003, the SD Memory Card Adapter lets you use postage-stamp sized memory cards in your GameCube. Right now, it's unknown if you can use these simply as a memory card replacement, or if there are game-specific functions.

Now our second long forgotten hardware is the Nintendo GameEye

Be a wrestler, a fighter, or any character you desire. Game Eye puts you in the game

Before Rare was sold to Microsoft, the Perfect Dark got people talking when demos showed connectivity with the Game Boy Camera, but unfortunately the feature was axed from the final version.

Thie dew hickey will allow you to snap a picture of your face and map onto certain in-game characters. The first game announced for Game Eye is Stage Debut, but little else has been told regarding either product.

And last but not least now I'm going to talk about the most forgotten Gamecube hardware that is so rare, it is yet unknown how quantities are left. I'm taking about is the import only Panasonic GameQ!!

In order to capitalize on potential sales in Japan particularly with a lower-cost hardware unit that will play GameCube games as well as DVDs (DVD players are still expensive in Japan comparitively) Matsushita/Panasonic is has created this hybrid machine, called the Q.

While the Q has been released in Japan, it is unknown if or when the system will launch in the U.S. or in other territories. It's believed that if it launches in the U.S. at all, it won't be until 2002 or 2003.

The Q currently comes at a $315 U.S. retail price. But it yet as of now if these consoles are in still in the Japanese market.

Well, that's I have time for today. Tune in next time, as I will discuss some more rare Nintendo hardware like ROB, the Zapper, and the Super Scope. This has been Shenlong's Wonderous Findings of Nintendo's Treasure. See you next time! :)

I wanted the GBA camera ;_________;

And a DVD playing GCN would own if they released it.

 

[The Fallen]

That would be pretty cool. I always wondered when it was frst released why they didn't make it dvd playable.

Because to Nintendo "Size is everything."

The gamecube would be as big as its competition~

 

[The Fallen]

Is the NR supposed to be dvd compatable?

 

[pokejungle]

Nooope. You have to buy an extra thing to make it play DVDs ._.

How cheap of Nintendo~

 

[The Fallen]

Cheap but smart. They make more money of course; like they need it.

 

[Arcanine]

It'll be an addon to the Rev. It's going to be in the system (like if you look at the bottom of the GC you see the ports for online and stuff like that. Them are set inside the system, the Rev one will be like that).

The Panasonic Q is sweet. I mean it's larger then the normal GC but the looks of it makes up for it. Sadly it was only put out in Japan. But if you can get your hands on one then no need to worry about "Crap, I can't play it due to me not having any games or movies from Japan". It plays all GC games and all DVDs. I wish I had one.

I want one too ;_;

But I believe they're like $450 USD O_o"

 

[TRIFORCE89]

With the Q, I like the metalicness, and it's blue glowyingness. But what put me off was the front view. All those buttons on the front, it looks like it's covered in screws. If it was just a GCN that looked like that (and therefore it would have all those ugly buttons on the front) then it'd look beautiful.

And...

Game developer Midway revealed in a recent job posting that they were looking for a designer for a next-gen first person shooter using the powerful Unreal Engine 3. In the job posting, Midway accidently mentioned some news on a next-gen First Person Shooter in the works.

Midway will release the game for each new next gen console, the Xbox360, the Playstation 3, and the Nintendo Revolution. As well the game will play based on Unreal Engine 3 technology.

Could the Nintendo Revolution be more powerful than previously expected? Nintendo has admitted that the Revolution will most likely not be as powerful as the Xbox 360 or the Sony PS3, but by how much? If the Nintendo Revolution can handle the Unreal Engine 3 technology, Nintendo just might be holding back on us.

I still can't see why the Revolution would be less powerful than the 360. Even if they're consentrating on innovation and not horsepower, I'd expect to be at least as powerful as a system that came out the year before. So, this seems like good news.

 

[Supreme Edgeboy Max]

Pageful of staff. And well, I believe I've missed a bit, would Andy kindly tell me how I can get around to joining the Nintendo Gaming Guild Group?

I'm still a member normally right? o.o;;

 

[Morkula]

Triffy, they've already stated that the Rev's only going to be marginally better than the original Xbox graphics-wise. So unless they've really souped it up since then, I doubt it'll be as powerful as the 360. =/

Max, go to your User CP and go to Group Memberships.

Have you seen the Unreal 3 engine? O_________________O

If it can seriously handle that, it'll be one great system graphically as well as innovationally.

 

[Morkula]

It could possibly run the Unreal 3 engine, but they could do a number of tweaks to make it run on the Rev. Decreasing polygon count, effects, etc. =/

 

[Arcanine]

Edgeboy: Read the last few lines on the first post (I tell how to do it in there).


Nintendo has said it won't be much better then the Xbox when it comes to graphics. And it's likely that it's going to be like that. Nintendo has said things and went back on their word before. But still, it's unlikely they'll be good like the 360 for graphics. Nintendo wants to keep the system costs low, and at the same time make money off the systems. So I don't think it'll have some super high graphics engine/processor (whatever it is) in it.

There's been this huge article about the 360 and PS3 in this local newspaper's sci-tech pages. At the end though, there was this LITTLE bit about the Revolution, that the war between the consoles have not ended yet, and won't end until the Revolution revolutionizes gaming.

I'll be VERY disappointed if Nintendo ends up releasing some console worse than its competitors ones.

Well lets just hope that they know what they're doing though.
