Yes, Mintman, that is so true. That stupid Rainbow Cruise level took me awhile to beat. But, somehow, it was worth it. That stupid "House in the Sky" thing was verrry annoying. And catching that gosh darn rabbit.... Endless Horizon: http://www.angelfire.com/rpg/verdegym

Lol, I remember first playing it, took me like a moth to get every star, then one day this bitch erased my file cause she was pissed off at me... Took me a whole weekend to get all 120 stars again!
As for those gamegenie things it sounds cool, but I dunno how you could do such a thing, I mean, if you could tell me how to do it, it would be cool, as my grandma still gots my SNES, and that super mario collection thingy is sittin there in the dust with it!

*looks at the sudden burst of posts* wow...
I can't believe you guys didn't hear of Super Mario Sunshine. It's coming out on Gamecube in just a month. i saw some pics of it and it makes the n64's graphics look like nothing...well to me anyway.
and yes super Mario world was the best. it was my second video game (after pong). after playin it after about 3 years i found ho w to easily get to the "special" area. but i bet you all know that anyway. i bet this post was a stupid one....well maybe...
Just so you know, I've know about Mario Sunshine for awhile now. It's being shipped to America on August 26, so it should be in stores by August 27.
I wonder if everyone's going to go back to get 120 stars in Mario 64 now.Endless Horizon: http://www.angelfire.com/rpg/verdegym

lol, Well I would hope that the new GC version of mario is better graphics then the 64 version. I remember when I first got the dreamcast, then a cool 64 game called Perfect Dark came out for 64, and like, my mates where goin wild about it... Then I tried playin it, and it was so f***ing blurry I loughed a gooden, then people were like 'its the best graphical game ever' that just shows how many people knew of the Dreamcast and its pant wetting graphics (at the time) Even when the PS2 came out, I was astonished at how its no better (if not worse) then the Dreamcast, one thing that really put me down, was the fact it couldn't do 50hz refresh rate, after playin 60 hz refresh rate on DC when you go to any other console, you can literelly see lines shaking!!!! I dunno about the Cube, but the Xbox doesn't seem to full on BLOW the dreamcast away, in fact, Shenmue is still the best looking game I have ever seen on a console, and what I have seen of Shenmue 2 is actually worse then the Dreamcast version (though Shenmue 2 for DC also looked worse then 1) So who knows, is the Cube the most graphical console? Or the Dreamcast? Or are PS2 and Xbox gonna say there are no games which show the full potential of the machine? WHO KNOWS!!!!!
Thats the most I have raved on in a single post for a while, so I'll let you get over it and write your own s***.

I think Perfect Dark was liked cause of the game it was, and that you could play 2 people in the main game.(Which I always want, but rarely happens) Perfect dark was really cool game though, I never did play on Dreamcast... So I don't know if what Camo is ranting about is true...Experience the Game XP The Game Forum Moderator at CnC Detonation News Updater at CnC NZ.com, CnC Zone, Renegade Legion, Strategy X, CnC Underground, RA2 Explosion

Here's the thing:
Hardware can improve easy; people don't. Just look at the earliest games of a system to the latest and how drastically the graphics improve. When people are unused to a new technology, they will utilize less of its full potential. Hence, PS2 and X-Box can seem all good when we don't have a blutty chance of being able to use its, what, 128 bit graphics? I mean, they were able to make Ball Blazer on the freakin' Atari, and that game had as good of graphics as the original Star Fox.
Bits are another misleading thing. If you look at an X-Box game, a PS2 game, and a Game Cube game, the latter two usually end up looking about the same and the X-Box game, despite idiot belief, looks worse. How could that be when it has the most power, you might ask. Because it's power is spread out through all of its capable functions. The Game Cube has one function: GAMES. It doesn't waste any processing power or even connectiveness to other devices; everything is graphics so it can make its graphics look smooth. X-Box, on the other hand, is so huge and diversified that it's shootin' sparks all across that house-sized system which, although it seems like a short time to us to for a computer message to travel, begins to amount up when you are reaching four-digit polygon count on a screen.
So the moral of the story: Game Cube >= PS2 > A pile of donkey doo > X-Box

I love GC.... I have alwaysed hated the X-Box, even before Kero's article on it. X-Box is huge, it's controlers are huge, and it makes a good doorstop. Kero, you should use X-Box's as doorstops, not burning them. Burning them is a waste of wood and matches.Experience the Game XP The Game Forum Moderator at CnC Detonation News Updater at CnC NZ.com, CnC Zone, Renegade Legion, Strategy X, CnC Underground, RA2 Explosion, CnC Fusion

more like a waste of plastic and cheaply made chips...
anyway, from what i've seen ps2 and gamecube are relatively the same....there are only a few very small things which make them different (graphic wise) ps2 has about the same graphics but on specific areas it lacks detail. like in ermm....i fogot the name if that hockey game (didn't play it saw review on both systems) on GC you can see the hockyplayers more clearly and where they skated you can see pieces of ice flying. On ps2 you cannot see the faces quite as clearly and the flying ice is nowhere to be found.
basically the only difference is a few pieces of ice....i bet this post was a stupid one....well maybe...

Well, from what I've seen, Mario Sunshine looks like it has decently improved graphics, but what most people notice are the new water effects, and from what I've seen, they are cool.Endless Horizon: http://www.angelfire.com/rpg/verdegym

There is a difference between Game Cube's and Play Station II's graphics, tho':
One came to you at a Hel of a lot less moo-lah.
They really do look the same; I was just going by the fluidity and the speed. Also, Nintendo has got a real knack for making that shiny metal effect (I can't remember what kind of reflecting that's called, and I don't have my book around to look its up).
Also, you can carry a GC around with you. And it's gettin' some pympin' games for it like every Resident Evil from this point on, the new Godzilla game, and Beach Spikers. Eat that, DOA: Extreme Volleyball! One of their not-real hot chicks is a model over in Japan! You can't bounce your way into that! Hrhr X-Box rots!
</idiocy>
God i love my gc, but it's going to be hard getting all these cool games for it...im only 14 1/2 lol. well After i get mario sunshine im planning on getting metroid prime, i heard it was really good.
For some reason a metroid reminds me a little bit of Nidhogg...................it just must be because it looks like a dragon i guess.i bet this post was a stupid one....well maybe...

Um, well, the "Hrhr" is just a thing idiots do in chat rooms nowadays like "r0xx0rz" and "w00t."
As for Beach Spikers, it is a real game over in Japan. It was made for the arcades and is soon to be coming out for the Game Cube. Dead Or Alive: Extreme Volleyball is a knock-off of Beach Spikers, although it has a very good possibility of being better than it based simply on the fact of the character, um, design.
As for the bouncing balls... um, well I take it you have never played any of the DOA games, have ya?
hmmm, the most I've spent on any game is probably 1000 or so hours on Pokemon Blue, but most of that time the game wasn't counting anymore, so I don't know for sure.
The most I know for sure is 800+ hours on Pokemon gold
