Why is it that all the media publications are reporting that companies are abandoning support for the GameCube due to poor sales? Last I heard, Xbox had the worst sales of all, and GameCube was beating it.
CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL ME WHAT IS GOING ON? Is our beloved little Nintendo GameCube failing?

Bad strategy, thats why!

When the heck is mario 128 coming out.

AAAHHH! I have been waiting for this game for ages!

About MArio 128... All we know is that it is a game. They are being secretive because the other competitors mught take the idea. You must be patient. (Although I'm not when it comes to games. :P)

About the game sale.... well, they shouldn't be bad. I have a URL where you can get a very detailed editorial about why the GCN is better. Just type in Gameube vs. X-Box as a search and it should be near the top. The editorial should've been written by Pretendo, just so you know that's the right one. GCN sales shouldn't be going down. I hope Shigeru makes Mario128 very good to boosts the sales.

Funny Things to do With Your Microwave

Get a toothpick and stick into a piece of cork. Light the tip on fire, place in the microwave, and rev it up. Vertical fireballs should ride from the toothpick up to the top of the microwave. LD, you have an E-Z Bake Oven, but it won''t work with that I don''t think
Formerly quite reasonable.

I just Read that last week, both GCN and GBA SP beat PS2 in sales, probably because of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, Tales of Symphonia, and Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronocles.

P.S. Trainman, is that vertical fireball in the microwave trick real?

Mario 128 is a game being made in secret so it won't be copied by other companies.  There is almost no information about it.

I never lie.  AND I DO NOT HAVE ANGER PROBLEMS!  And I''m never sad*sniff*.  And I''m perfectly *cough* healthy.  I never lie.

Super Mario Fan Club



Go there, visit the forums, find a forum by "Mace Windu" about Xbox being better than GCN, and insult him as much as possible .



Geez, I've had this sig for so long that I've forgotten about it! Time to change it (and I have both GCN and GBA now).

In response to MadMario's sig:
...and me, I don't have a GameCube yet. Though I DO have a GBA-SP (which is MUCH better than I originally thought).

...Considering it's just the same as a GBA.
Do not attempt an argument with me, Mario Maniac. I've played them. I know of what I speak.

Darn. Just another mess o’ Chocolate Pan Dowdy.
That was a joke.

Hey Chupp, I never wanted to start an arguement with you. I was simply stating an opinion, so don't get angry with me for something I didn't even do!

GBA-SP is better than the original Game Boy Advance for these obvious reasons:
- It has a rechargeable battery, which lasts considerably longer than normal AA batteries.
- It features a fully lit screen, which lets you play in areas that don't recieve much light.
- The folding screen makes the system very compact and small, and it protects the screen from scratches and smears!

DO NOT argue my point Chupperson Weird, I'm not in the mood today.

Don't jump to conclusions.
I was simply saying not to try and negate my point.
I was not trying to argue with you, as I would hope you could see from my previous post.
But, I feel I must now say: More gimmicks don't make it better.
