Agozer Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Quite frankly, I didn't expect WiFi antennas to look like that. It looks... so simple in a way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghosty Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 So this is what a gamecube looks like when you flatten it. ZING. and add a wifi card. Man I never noticed how much it resembled a CD drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What si the point of buying if i use it to play old games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobdrakke Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Nostalgia, filling the void of lackluster games and library of games if N don't have enough to compete with rivals. If you are new to emulation and if they emulate better than homebrew, it might be good to play the games probperly you couldn't. As for next gen it can be in gamplay and innovation only graphically its on par or above xbox. But games has been about gameplay where N excels but need the icing of graphics on the cake of game play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibathedog Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 the emulation part is really cool, but a cable you can use to hook your PC up to your TV costs about 5 bucks even if you need to go wireless, its going to end up being wayyyy less than 50 bucks, and then you have the functionality of a PC im more interested in the N64 emulation because it still kinda blows on the PC (but i havent touched N64 emulation in quite awhile) and i already have most of those other systems emulated on every other console i own somehow and the WiFi part looks so simple because its made by Mitsumi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple "Doo-Dahs" here and there but most games play perfectly for me. I mean, come-on who doesnt like beating the penguin race in Mario 64???

Ghosty Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Ohh the Wii has been "reversed engineered" ya'llhttp://www.kotaku.com/gaming/wii/bad-man-p...-wii-216551.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken_cinder Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I find that funny that people are saying it's "graphically as good or slightly better than the Xbox". As far as I'm concerned, there isn't a better looking title than Metroid Prime 1/2 on the Xbox.Oh and when you get right down under the hood, and OFF paper propoganda, the GAMECUBE is more powerful than the Xbox........the Xbox just has the added benefit of loading crap onto the hard drive and streaming from there.The Cube's 450Mhz Gecko PPC CPU is far more powerful than a Pentium III 700, and although it only has 48MB of RAM in comparison to the Xbox 64 (BOTH of which are shared by the GPU, BUT the Cube's is on die) it makes use of MUCH faster 1T SRAM than the Xbox's SD. If the Gamecube had a hard drive like the Xbox, it would kick the living crap out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
