I think the reason it's selling so well on the Cube is... well, there is nothing else worth buying on the system, so why not get it?

If you are implying that F-zero is unworthy of purchase than I..well...I...

<< me

DISS F-zero WILL YOU!

All in good fun of course.

F zero woulda been SO much better had they tried to put more new and more innovative stuff in it. it feels like just more of the same. (fun tho) just not new.

Maybe the Cube one just sold better due to the pre-game hype, I mean if I'm not mistaken Nintendo started advertising some 2-3 weeks before the first Ps2 or Xbox commercials even started airing. And ofcourse with the words "Exclusively for the Nintendo Gamecube", but of course there was that Link part, but eh.

Let's see if it lasts...

It isn't that there's nothing else worth buying it's that there's nothing else that anyone wants to buy. It's also that there are no other fighers worth buying. 45,000 units is hardly "beating up" especially when the game will end up being a million seller.

I'm also pretty sure that cube europe was the first site to break with those numbers so take it all with a grain of salt.

It's certianly good for nintendo that the game is selling well but don't get too excited about trumping sony. It will eventually take the lead just based on the fact that it holds a 5 to 1 edge in systems floating around out there.

I can't think of anything else... The story mode is awesome, the customize section is perfect.. may I ask what would be that more new stuff?

Yeah, I like everything about the game. But a track editor would be nice. Im not complaining though.

But remember also, only 1 other fighting (if you want to consider this a fighting game) game for the 'Cube, which is Smash Bros. Melee. SCII is the 'Cube's best true fighting game, so it makes sense to at least sell good.

I think CVS2 is betta

Personally I plan on getting Wrestlmania XIX, P.N.03, and I already have F-Zero GX and Madden/NCAA Football 2004, so there's other games out there to buy for the GCN, Game. But then again, I bought SCII four months ago, so eh...

The Link over Sony/Xbox sales don't surprise me, and the GCN version is pretty close to the PS2 version in Japan, so I hear.

All three versions are sure to be system sellers globally, though I'm not too sure about the PS2 version in the US (too much competition, and pretty much the worst version of the game).

-Official Ninja of [coming soon]...

Canyarion · 09-13-2003, 04:24 PM

You forgot Bloody Roar: Primal Fury on the GC. Not that it's any competition but...

I'm really looking forward to the GC version of SC2. I hope they do some advertising in Europe...

Seth · 09-13-2003, 05:10 PM

What about mortal kombat: DA?

Didn't it come out for the cube?
I heard that was a fairly decent game.

SCII
CVS2
MKDarkAlliance
SSBM
Bloody Roar
