Can anyone give me a rundown of the Gamecube titles slated for the end of the year? I can't seem to find an updated and accurate list of upcoming 1st/2nd/3rd party games anywhere.

???

seriously. Those are the one titles a multi-console owner will be interested in. But for what its worth.. I'll probably end up buying all of them (except VQ and MMCM... review dependent but not looking good). took out Baiten Kaitos.. card games don't excite me.

 

[TekunoRobby]

Ahh jesus, and to think this is all for only one platform.

 

[Fallopian Tube]

Looking forward to Mario Party 6.

Its being developed by HAL, should be different and interesting.

 

[AniHawk]

HAL's doing it? I'm interested. Guess they got tired of Hudson, eh?

And I think Nintendo should start labelling them by the years like sports franchises next year.

Anyway, I see myself definitely buying Donkey Konga, ToS, Pikmin 2, MP2E, RE4, and Paper Mario 2. Depending on reviews, I'll check out Star Fox, Baten Kaitos, and Geist.

November's looking freakin' packed though (on all systems except Game Boy). Nintendo is really gonna have their hands full this year. They might do like last year and delay a couple games (I could see Geist being pushed to a February release, and BKaitos being made a January-March title).

 

[ToyMachine228]

How do you know Hal is developing it? Is there any proof, or just something you've heard?

Holy shit. I didn't know this. If this is true I am very interested. I truly enjoy the MP series, but something from HAL should have interesting results.

 

[Gorgie]

Just look at Melee, infinite replay value. A HAL made Mario Party would be worth its weight in gold.

 

[Socreges]

The videogame industry is fucked. Absolutely fucked. Thin release schedules for months and then EVERYTHING during the Fall and Winter.

FUCK YOU CHRISTMAS AND HANNUKAH

[Mama Smurf]

They also list MP5 under HAL, which it wasn't. Looks like it'll be Hudson again.

Strangely Mario Party Advance IS listed under Hudson, so they do know of their involvement in the series. So I guess it could be HAL and they just screwed up on 5, or they screwed up on both and it's still Hudson.

 

[Deg]

MP5 was excellent so MP6 should be good too. The capsule system was a clever diea and makes the board sections fun to play.

One wonders why MP6 media has not been shown. Mario Party Advance will also be a must have for me.

 

[Manders]

I might have to buy a game or two this year.

oh.. my.. god.. I'll have to beg for money this fall.

Some of those games will be delayed. It just can't be helped. I mean what does Nintendo have for spring 2005? Another list like that and I'll have a heart attack.
