hey people i need help. im thinking about getting this bundle i already have xbox and ps2 and have tons of games that i havent beat. what do you think i should do ? and can anyone confirm if this bundle is with two controllers or just one. i believe its only one but wanna make sure can you cags help me thanks alot
 
Wrong forum, this is not a "deal".

That being said, outside of Zelda, there's really no reason to own a Gamecube (besides Eternal Darkness). Viewtiful Joe and RE4 have/will be ported, Donkey Konga is bleh, and there's not many good GC exclusive titles.

Well, Super Smash Brothers..

But it's only $99! Go for it. Or is it cheaper than $99 now? Is it $79? Nah.. that's insane. $99.
 
It comes with 2 controllers, and there are lots of good exclusive titles:

-Tales of Symphonia
-Mario Kart DD
-Mario Golf
-Mario Power Tennis
-Animal Crossing
-Zelda WW
-F-Zero GX
-Metroid Prime
-Mario Party 4/5
-Mario Sunshine
-Monkey Ball
-Donkey Konga (which is pretty awesome, IMO)

Most of these are Player's Choice now too, so you can get them for $15 at Best Buy. So yeah, you should buy it.
 
Actually, there are a lot of reasons to own a Cube.

Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
Legend of Zelda: The Four Swords
Metroid Prime
Tales of Symphonia
Super Mario Sunshine
F-Zero GX
The entire Resident Evil series on one console
Animal Crossing
Paper Mario 2
Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour
Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem
Ikaruga
Luigi's Mansion
P.N. 03
The Game Boy Player
Wario World

And these are just off the top of my head. That's not even counting all the multiplatform releases that look better on Cube than they do on the PS2. Since you have an XBox too, though, that may not be a big deal. As far as Resident Evil 4...if you don't want to wait a whole year to play it, you'll need a Cube. Lots of people are speculating that the PS2 build of the game won't look as good as it will on the Cube as well. There are rumors going around that there's an XBox version in development too, but it will also be a long time before it gets released.
 
Please, do not give Mario Party as a reason to buy a Gamecube. There is no reason to ever buy a Mario Party game for ANY console.
 
lain21us did you actually see the bundle i have been looking for it online just the picture itself but it only says one controller. does anyone live in nyc ?
 
if this is true about two controllers then i believe and find it that it is worth getting but lets see if there is any promotions at any stores. you people have made up my mind thank you for your post
 
I read somewhere that Namco was CONSIDERING bringing Tales of Symphonia PS2 over to the US. If Nintendo was smart they would be the first or 2nd system out of the gate on this next generation.
 
Has anyone actually seen the bundle with two controllers? The only one I've seen at my local EB has just ONE controller with MK:DD included and also a $15 "check" good toward purchase of a new game.

Still a very good deal but I'd prefer the second controller myself.
 
i have checked about 3 - 4 stores and no one has it as of yet. im in the nyc area if anyone sees it in nyc queens can they please let me know thanks alot

Agreed totally. I'm just curious as to if MP6 will be better than 4, considering the whole microphone thing and all.
 
Is target carrying the exclusive 2 controller model? If so then it may be worth getting that from them before Black Friday... I bet those sell out... that's another $20 better than the other bundles.

Yeah, I may have to pick one up. Not sure though can not think of anything games I really want on GC except Baten K???? How ever you spell it.

Hmm I have $50 credit (Broken Xbox trade in) at EB Games, I wonder if they have these?

I think someone is mad because they got pwned in MP minigames.

I remember this, but I remember an article in which NAMCO said it wouldn't be coming out on the PS2 in the US, but it MAY be ported to the PS2 in Japan sometime in 2005.
 
There are 2 different versions of the Mario Kart bundle. One has 2 controllers and the other has 1 controller and a $15 gift check to be used towards a GameCube game.

Yup. I confirmed it yesterday with the visiting Nintendo Rep. The game specialty stores have the one controller & $15 gift check bundle. All the other places get the one with two controllers.
 
Saw the bundle with two controllers and Mario Kart at Best Buy today. No price on it though. How much is this going for?
 
Hey Board this is my first post, just found this site. I work at walmart in electronics, and I can confirm this Bundle. On the front it has Double Dash and 2 regular controllers. I was not able to get a price for it however, and there was no release date for it either. So all i can do now is confirm it, and post more when i find out.
 
still looking for it and no find as of yet. saw the one with one controller but looking into getting the one with two controllers. please let me know if there is any in nyc queens if i find it i'll post thanks people
 
The official release date for this bundle is Nov 15 so that's probably why not all of you are seeing it yet. Stores are NOT supposed to be selling it yet.
Here are the stores that will carry it and which bundle they will have:

2 Controllers
Target
Wal-Mart
K-Mart
Best Buy
Circuit City

1 Controller + $15 Gift Check
Toys R Us
EB
Gamestop
Game Crazy
Sears
 
for the people that live in nyc queens i have finally found this bundle at target. comes with two controllers and the game and gamecube. people that are interested go to the queens plaza mall and target would have some of it.

Shut the hell up and leave you worthless :newbie:
 
Nooo! :cry: I just ordered it from Gamestop.com last night it didn't have a picture or product info so I assumed it has two controllers. But now there is a pic of a black cube and a seperate mario kart game! Maybe I can return it for a refund once it comes in?
