Game Cube Sure, But... (Score 2)

I just recently perchased my second(2nd) PS2, iLink Cable and a Second Copy of GT3... my Roomy and I LOVE this setup...and at the price it is worth it...

However; my questions reguarding BIG N's Game Cube, are these...

1. Q: Will the BIG N allow for backwards compatablity, or will you be locked into yet another BIG N system that wont run older ROMs you spent all your money on? (i.e. NES, SNES and N64)
A: No. The Game Cube ROMs are 3 inch Discs containing 1.5GB Capacity

2. Q:Will the BIG N allow for Multi-player/system use, or are you stuck with four(4) players on a single television set?
A: Yes and No. Game Cube does not incoperate "Multi-Link" systems; However, there are two options for available... One being its four(4) player port and the other being a optional Modem that can be pershased (a 56k modem and a Broadband connector that appears to to be an 8pin 10 base-T adapter).

3. Q:Will the BIG N stick us with yet another set of "kiddie" games like they have in the past, or are they going to allow the developers free rein over their products?
A:Time will tell, but here is a list of BIG N's Current line up:
FIFA 2002 Road to FIFA World Cup (EA Square
SSX Tricky [working title] (EA Square
Bomberman Generation (Hudson
Super Smash Brothers Melee (Nintendo)
Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo)
Pikmin (Nintendo)
Wave Race Blue Storm (Nintendo)
Animal Forest Plus (Nintendo)
Star Fox Adventures: Dinosaur Planet (Nintendo)
Doubutsu Bancho (Nintendo)
Eternal Darkness (Nintendo)
Virtua Striker 3 ver.2002 [working title] (Sega)
Phantasy Star Online [working title] (Sega)
Super Monkey Ball (Sega)
Rune [working title] (company name withheld

-- Sure doesn't look like much. But then again... it kinda looks like the same game titles I've seen at the game store for N64. I have personally never really been too impressed with BIG N's "quality" of graphic's, I want to game play capablities and NEW ideas. Sure alot of the older games are fun to play but hey, Bomberman? How many times can they make the same game with different graphics? And Sega? whats with that, if it didn't sell your system why push yer product off on someone else?

-- I have a closet at home filled with boxes of old ROMs and consoles ranging from Atari 2600 to Intellivision and a Sega Master System to N64... the only thing I haven't stored there is my PS2 and games for it and PSX --

There is one thing that does peak my intrests about the Game Cube and it seems to be based on an Idea Sony work on for a while in Japan... and thats connecting the 32bit GBA to your Game Cube through the controller port. Portablity.
