Viewtiful Joe is coming out sometime in November for the Cube and it will kick ass. Do check it out if you're into old school games.

I bought a Gamecube recently, and Viewtiful Joe was one of the main reasons. I heard there was a demo disc with a demo of VJ on it, so that weekend I bought a Gamecube almost entirely for that demo disc (getting to play Wind Waker and Metroid Prime is just a bonus). The game is fucking awesome. I've been wanting a sidescrolling beat em up for such a long time, and to have one with such incredible style is a wet dream come true.
The only thing that could top VJ is a new River City Ransom.

Metroid Prime and the new Zelda totally OWN.
Metroid Prime is one of the best games I have ever played in my entire life. Fucking amazing.

I started playing it a few days ago. So far it's excellent; a perfect translation of the classic 2D Metroid gameplay into 3D. I'm still a sucker for 2D though.
I've played pretty much all the way through Wind Waker, and (what I'm assuming is) the last boss is fucking lame! The end boss in Ocarina of Time was like, the best boss fight ever. They should've stuck with that school of making boss fights.

Wow... I absolutely hated the end boss of Ocarina of Time... it was just a lame rip-off of the boss at the end of the normal world in A Link to the Past. Hit his magic sparkles back at him... lame. It was beyond easy too, I don't believe I was hurt even once and I definitely didn't die once, I was very disappointed when I played this boss.
The best boss I have ever seen in a video game is for the PS2 game The Mark of Kri. The game mixed up stealth and combat almost perfectly, and the last level is pure combat... about 500-1000 zombies and you have this huge axe that dismembers them wonderfully. The final boss is a single room with just zombie after zombie, well over 100... and you get to chop them up into little pieces. A leg here, a head there, etc...

Also, Gamecube has a few games coming out that I am looking forward to immensely.
Probably the one I am looking forward to the most is Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, but the multiplayer action rpg Final Fantasy game sounds wonderful. After playing Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance (hideously underrated game, it's one of the best action rpgs and the best multiplayer action rpg I've played for consoles), I want another multiplayer action rpg... and this one sounds like it will be awesome.

Yeah I saw that E3 video of MGS...It did look good to say the least. Isn't the FF game only multiplayer with the gameboy? And BG DA was great. I'm also looking forward to that one...Also has anyone heard of the game Too Human? It got put aside for the new MGS game but I think it'll be out in '04...Watch that one. Me the dork.

Hmmm... if the FF game is only multiplayer with the GBA, I'll be disappointed. But I've heard that it's up to four players on screen at once, similar to the 2 people that BG
A had. I've heard that there is poison gas around the party, so they can't seperate or they'll die which makes it so they can be on screen at once without split screen. This is also similar to Gauntlet, if you think about it that way.

Yeah, I've played it. It was alright, but nowhere near the unbridled greatness that is RCR for NES.
Speaking of multiplayer RPGs, I would love to see a new Secret of Mana for Gamecube.
And speaking of boss fights at the end of Ocarina of Time, I said it was so good not because of challenge, but because of the style and execution of it. Playing baseball with Ganondorf was spiffy, but fightning Ganon in the ruins of the castle in the dark with the occasional lightning flash illuminating him was the "coolest" boss fight I can think of.

oh man. OK I have a lot of two cents to put in here. First of all Metal Gear I think is one of the most overrated game series EVER. It's clumsy and while it looks good the color palettes they use are fairly limited. Also WHATS UP WITH THE CUTSCENES. It's a game not a movie people.
My vote for best game post-SNES is definitly Ocarina of Time so far (I didn't make it very far in Majora's Mask so don't jump down my throat Toby - get Chris to give me my copy back and I'll totally give it another shot). The Water Temple boss and the Shadow Temple boss are both fucking SICK! Wind Waker would have gotten my vote but the gameplay is a little too easy, and Metroid Prime, I dunno, it's fantastic but doesn't quite have the depth of Ocarina.

I've been playing Hitman 2 for xbox lately... the game is almost too much fun. Just call me Mr.Shhhh. I am looking forward to Knights of the Old Republic.. there hasnt been a Star Wars RPG.. and if anyone can do it right, bioware can.

Ummm... Ocarina of Time is just as easy as Wind Waker. I blazed through Ocarina of Time without dying once on my first try, and I didn't find nearly all the hearts. Zelda games haven't been hard since the NES. In fact, Ocarina of Time was probably the biggest disappointment I've ever had in videogaming, it's not even 1/2 as good as A Link to the Past or Link's Awakening. Personally, I think Wind Waker is better. And Metroid Prime is definitely better than anything for the N64.
My vote for best game post SNES... Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. But then again, most of my favorite games are post SNES...
And I feel your complaint against Metal Gear Solid, I've said it many times. While the games may be overrated, they are still a blast to play. I have Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance, which has plenty of gameplay on the other hand. The Snake's Tales, Alternate Missions, and VR Missions add at least a good 80 hours of gameplay, if not more. I'm 10% of the way through with the VR Missions and Alternate Missions and I've played about 12 hours so far. And they are a blast to play, except for some of the weapon missions for VR... GRRRR...
But the Sneaking and Variety VR Missions and Alternate Missions... definitely awesome.
Also, speaking of the Seiken Densetsu series (Secret of Mana was Seiken Densetsu 2), find a rom for Seiken Densetsu 3 as it is a MUCH better game. There was a PSX Seiken Densetsu game, it was 4... called Legend of Mana. It was ludicriously easy, had a very patchwork style of gameplay, and was quite boring... but the art and music were absolutely astonishing. Probably the best artwork (not graphics, but artwork) for the PSX, and definitely some of the best music. If you go into it expecting a beautiful aesthetic experience with mediocre gameplay, you won't be disappointed. I couldn't finish the game myself, once the novelty of the art faded, I couldn't even think of picking up the game again. It was such a shitty game...
