So basically, it started with Link in Soul Caliber 2. Not only was it an amazing addition, it forced me to buy a game for the Cube which I rarely do. Now Nintendo has allowed other companies to include their characters in various games such as: New DDR with Mario and Luigi Mario, Luigi, and Peach in NBA Street Volume 3 Little Mac in Fight Night Round 2 First of all, I think it's a great idea. The cube always get shagged with multi console releases and giving incentives such as mentioned above is sure to garner the Cube as the most popular choice. I think it is also a nifty trick for Nintendo to get consumers to buy the GC specific version, a very smart move that has been a big surprise for me... HOWEVER, I hate it because I love my PS2 and I feel screwed by getting the PS2 versions of these games because I really want my Nintendo Characters...Little Mac is so cool and Super Punch Out!! is going to be included in the GC version of Fight Night 2.
