The great thing about GCN Multiplayer is that the framerate almost never drops, even when you have 4 players. PS2 nearly always slows down with 4 players, and many XBOX games do to.

One of the big things I am trying to also gauge with this thread is "lasting appeal". I think the gamecube definatly has that kind of appeal. It's list of games are very original unique titles. Not only lots of exclusive first party games, but third party games as well. So I really think the gamecube has a lot going for it to keep talking about it years down the road.

However as I was sitting here thinking, I realised something.

Do you guys think backwards compatability hinders appreciation for a specific console and its games?

It's almost as if the GameCube console itseld would become insignificant to many, simply because those games could be played, and possibly even purchased and downloaded for the Revolution.

It's almost as if the games no longer become associated with their original platform and instead are "old games you can play on your new system".

You don't really see a lot of PS1 fan sites out there.

I think backwards compatibility can help a console and make it not as good. If it can be backwards compatible more people can enjoy these games that they normally wouldn't be able to do. But on the other hand if you can play it on another console people might look down on it saying "oh I can just play it on my new shiny console" leaving the original system out.

I hope I am still into the cube. I invested so much into it since I got it on launch, November 5th, 2001. I was blown by its graphics and still am! I've got 4 Wavebirds (best wireless controller ever IMO) and I have the GBA player as well as the BBa. I love its nice handle at the back. Just yesterday I used the handle for the first time, walking for 20 minutes with from a friends house.

ROFL! I love it! So many people were like "what the fuck?" and were perplexed as to what the hell I was doing. Mr. Green
