We let this one slip through our fingers, but here's an interesting tidbit to ponder. As we all know Capcom has pledged Gamecube exclusivity for Resident Evil -- one of the company's most popular series'. However, contrary to popular belief, things could possibly change. In an interview recently with video game connoisseur Steven Kent, Bill Gardner -- president of Capcom USA -- went on to say, "If Nintendo cannot get its numbers up, particularly in Japan, we may need to reconsider keeping Resident Evil exclusive to Gamecube.” <br><br>So there's always hope that we'll see the series back on a Sony platform, especially if Nintendo continues to put up abysmal numbers when compared to the competition. We'll keep in tune with all the latest developments coming out of camp Capcom regarding this touchy subject.

You better not...^_^ This one has been beaten to death all over the net and the standard answer was: Read the next line in the article. ^_^<br><br>"The good news for both Capcom and Nintendo is that in Japan, GameCube sales have improved."<br><br>^_^ I don't know...it must be you who's in a depression or something. Seemsl ike you can only seem the bad side to life. Isee both sides...or at least, try to get the whole picture. <br><br>Nintendo sold a total of over 3 million GCN worldwide by now for you information. (Japan + North America)<br><br>I think we're safe.<br><br>In the absence of clan wars, this might be a good substitute for the Poking Knights to hone their skills. ^_^ <p><img src="http://drunkntaichimaster.netfirms.com/nesslink.jpg" border="0"> </a> <BR> Zapp: What the hell is that thing?<BR>Kif: It appears to be the mothership.<BR>Zapp: Then what weÂ’d just blow up?<BR>Kif: The Hubble telescope.</p><i></i>

I'll just have to fear not having a single exclusive RPG <p><Center><img src=http://zeth.homestead.com/files/hayama.jpg></center></p><i></i>

Fair enough. ^_^ This is the downside to GCN, but I'm happy with Skies of Arcadia only, since I'm not a big RPG fan anymore. ^_^<br><br>I was talking to IWTIK the other day and she understands my point... ^_^ <br><br>Ok, I'll use the rest of this thread to see how many RPGs Nintendo will get until the end of the year. ^_^<br><br>Skies of Arcadia is one for sure. ^_^ I'll wait. ^_^ Since I can't afford much, I'll be happy if 2 high-profile RPG make it to the GCN. ^_^<br><br>It's a long shot, but I predict that at least a total of 5 RPGs will be heading to the GCN by Dec 31st 2002. ^_^<br><br>With Sega, Enix, Capcom, Konami, Rare and Nintendo alone...I think we'll see more of these soon. ^_^ Of course, all this is just guessing. ^_^ Nothing reliable. ^_^ Who knows...with Capcom liking GCN so much, we might get DMC2 exclusive? ^_^ hehehe ^_^ <p><img src="http://drunkntaichimaster.netfirms.com/nesslink.jpg" border="0"> </a> <BR> Zapp: What the hell is that thing?<BR>Kif: It appears to be the mothership.<BR>Zapp: Then what weÂ’d just blow up?<BR>Kif: The Hubble telescope.</p><i></i>

Are you going to play them all? ^_^ It's all good and dandy to mention the long list. But are you truly be playing them all? ^_^ And how many of them are good? ^_^<br><br>It's like listing all the PS2 games vs all the GCN games. <br><br>PS2 has a one year head start. For sure there's more games to it. ^_^ But in the end, it's the games that you truly play that counts. ^_^<br><br>It's like back in the days of the SNEs. ^_^ There were tons of RPG in it. I've played lots of them. Certainly the big ones. But I never played all of them. ^_^ Lufia, FF, Chrono, Secret of M. Breath of Fire...but I'm sure I'm missing a lot! ^_^ See? ^_^ Those are big, but they're still few. ^_^<br><br>Still. ^_^ I'll see in a year what GCN has by then and we'll talk. ^_^<br><br>I think Badlur's Gate Alliance is also coming to GCN...but I'll have to reverify. ^_^ <p><img src="http://drunkntaichimaster.netfirms.com/nesslink.jpg" border="0"> </a> <BR> Zapp: What the hell is that thing?<BR>Kif: It appears to be the mothership.<BR>Zapp: Then what weÂ’d just blow up?<BR>Kif: The Hubble telescope.</p><i></i>

Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance shouldn't be counted as an RPG. They should make a genre called DIABLO and put BG:DA in there. It's so bad compared to the other Baldur's Gate games. I rented it, played a two player game with my brother, and beat it in the shortest time ever.<br>Beyond dissapointing. <p><center><img src="http://bishydbd.netfirms.com/toshiya.jpg"><br>The festival of carnal desires will begin<br>The festival of sexual desires will begin<br>The out of control sadistic festival<br>The rapid human flesh psycho horror</center></font></p><i></i>

One game I want, but will have to play on PC is Master of Orion 3! ^_^<br><br>I played the original to death! ^_^<br><br>Anyone here likes Master of Orion? ^_^ <p><img src="http://drunkntaichimaster.netfirms.com/nesslink.jpg" border="0"> </a> <BR> Zapp: What the hell is that thing?<BR>Kif: It appears to be the mothership.<BR>Zapp: Then what weÂ’d just blow up?<BR>Kif: The Hubble telescope.</p><i></i>

Yeah, I'm not going to buy them all, just the good ones, My point is GCN only has about 1 good one. <p><Center><img src=http://zeth.homestead.com/files/hayama.jpg></center></p><i></i>

Um, no, I prefer PS2 and I'd like to see RE on PS2 because I can't afford a GCN.<br><br>I'm buying more anime lately and I'm not getting GCN for a long time if ever. <p><Center><img src=http://zeth.homestead.com/files/hayama.jpg></center></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub19.ezboard.com/uzethora.showPublicProfile?language=EN>Zethora</A> at: 2/8/02 3:28:05 pm<br></i>

Oh come off it Zeth. ^_^ Prefer? Just tell it like it is. YOU ARE a PS2 fan. What does it matter really? Nobody will dislike you for openly stating the truth. Out with it already, you're a fanboy.

It's not like I wouldn't own a Gamecube and an Xbox if I could. It IS a matter of preference. If I had enough money I'd own all three consoles and all the games I wanted. But It's not that way and I have to chose my favorite games which are RPGs.<br><br>I'd love to play all of Nintendo's newest games but I really don't care for Nintendo as much as I care about Xenosaga and Grandia Xtreme and Star Ocean 3, etc.<br><br>EDIT: I just read some stuff about Grandia Xtreme and I am NOT happy.I can't believe they're doing this...<br><br>http://www.thegia.com/news/0202/n09a.html <p><Center><img src=http://zeth.homestead.com/files/hayama.jpg></center></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub19.ezboard.com/uzethora.showPublicProfile?language=EN>Zethora</A> at: 2/9/02 3:57:00 am<br></i>
