THE GAMECUBE IS GOING ONLINE!

And here I thought that the Broadband Adapter was only for Backup games....hell, thats what I use that 50 dollar waste of cash on....
 
Better late than never...and I don't think I will be spending around $100 to be able to play this game...so I'll be able to live without it...

Consider what running a Homeland server requires. Unless you're going to have limited hours of operation when your players can be connected, you are pretty much giving up the use of that GameCube. This means you either won't miss it or are willing to spend the money for an extra unit with BBA. Market trends would indicate the former situation is more likely.

Also consider that little or no details have been released on how hosting will work. It's possible that there would be failover to another GC if the host disconnects. It probably won't matter anyway, since I doubt this game is coming to the US.
 
I prefer offline games. If Nintendo's next console takes the same approach as Xbox and Playstation, then the Gamecube is my last console.

I wouldn't say that the Xbox or PS2 have taken a much different approach than Nintendo. Sure the Xbox and PS2 have online-enabled games, but the majority of their games are meant to be played offline with just a couple of online modes thrown into the mix. Nintendo's strategy seems to be similar to Sony's (at least Sony right now) in that they don't want to charge users for most online content, unlike Microsoft.

The fact that Nintendo finally seems to be embracing online play for their future consoles (DS and Revolution) is a good thing, IMO. Even if you don't use it, it's still there for people who want it. I know Nintendo lost a lot of sales of multi-console games b/c of lack of online play.
 
Perhaps more so Xbox then Playstation, but anything that requires a centralized controled server by some corporation (Microsoft or the game creators) is the worst thing for games. I have no intention of paying for a game that requires fees to play.

Currently, I can pull out my Earthbound cart and pop it in and play. However, in a few years, I doubt anyone will be pulling out their copy of FFXI to play. Not because the game is not fun, but because they can't!
 
Never.
It's gonna be for the Revolution when it goes online.
They will delay it forever, release it on the new console online, and then die out because Animal Crossing will be online.
