I checked Amazon, they have Aggressive Inline for the GC for under £5 including p+p. why on earth is that eBay user selling it for almost £600, surely a typo?!

I'm thinking of getting a Wii. If it's on Virtual Console I'll get it. My girlfriend wants to play Super Mario Bros. from the 8-bit so I hope it's there as well

Also a fine game. And yes, they're both on VC.

If I purchase a Freeloader, every U.S. GC game should work on a UK GC console, right?

I've bought one to play US only games like Mortal Kombat: Deception (and because US games are cheaper than PAL games). Never had any problems, unlike my experience with DCX for dreamcast. Even games like Harvest Moon: Magical Melody which came out after the last version of Freeloader (1.06b) work like a charm. Wii owners beware though, as it does seem to be incompatible with the latest Wii firmware. I haven't been able to check this out as I haven't got a Wii yet.

No, the freeloader doesn't work with the Wii. They did release another version that worked for a while but one of Nintendo's updates sorted that one out That's why I still own my GameCube as well as my Wii.

Cool. Thanks.
*Counts GameCube games* Woah...I have almost 80 now. I want to get Chibi Robo, but don't want to pay over £40 on eBay for it! |

80!? Christ! I've had my Gamecube for ages, and I only ever bothered buying 8 games for it, lol.

80? Nice! Gotta love those mini disks. My daughter has played Chibi Robo to no end. She already beat it but says "I missed something" and keeps going back. I couldn't get into it myself.

I have Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 0 & 1 and Metroid Prime 1 & 2. That's a total of five games and I don't think I'll add any more to my collection. Nintendo have some quality games for sure, but I think the Wii is the future and when it matures I'll continue with that. Until then I'm sticking with my Playstation 2 and XBOX 360.

I bought 90% of my GC games off eBay and Amazon, I wouldn't pay over £30 for a second hand game. Even if it's rare.
Now I just need the time to play some of the games. Also need to put up two shelves, as the GC games are all stacked up behind my TV! ;D |

Is Ikaruga great? Yes. Don't take my word for it. Whenever I play my DC I wanna play Under Defeat 2-players but NOOOOOoooooo, all my friends wanna play Ikaruga 2-players. I'm a major shmup fan, and this game is pretty legendary. You can get it for GC for about £20 on Amazon including P+P. I'd seriously suggest getting hold of it before it suddenly goes mega rare and you're expected to pay £60. I have a Dreamcast copy worth £40. I sold a new, sealed copy a few months back for around £70. It's only a matter of time with the GC version also. |

I would play on my gamecube but it died.
Atleast I was able to finish PoP: Sands of Time. |

Ikaruga looks good, but I heard it's too hard and the final boss is impossible to beat. I liked R-Type a lot but was frustrated at having to start from the beginning when I got a single hit.
My latest GC purchases - The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Fun so far, camera angle can be a bit annoying though. |

I've avoided playing it for 2 years now. I'm hoping I'll just randomly completely forget about what the game was like, play it again, and relive it like the first time. And this is coming from someone who couldn't understand what the fuss was with Mario 64. |

Sold off 50+.
Mario Sunshine is ok, but I lost interest in it pretty quick and I found Mario 64 to be too overrated. I'm enjoying Chibi-Robo lately, it's fun in a Animal Crossing kinda a way. |

I never viewed the Gamecube as a success at all, comparing it with the Dreamcast. Among my friends it was either PC or PS2, though I knew some liked the XBOX.
