Enough is enough, Nintendo came out with The Legend of Zelda the Wind Waker a couple of years ago and to me its the best game in the Zelda series so far, but they havent made a sequal. Now i am a xbox fanboy as you might call xbox fans and im sticking with Fable until Nintendo pulls their act together and makes a sequal to such a great game. Until this is done im loyal to xbox and not coming back to Nintendo because i cannot see how dumb they are being not making a sequal. Who agrees with me that they should make a sequal to The Wind Waker, becuase i honestly dont see how they havent yet?blueboy4440

See ya later. You won't be missed.

[QUOTE="Sepewrath"]Yeah I was expecting a 12.3 why you dont play the game yourself before you pass judgement. You know think for yourself, give it a try I think you will enjoy it.quetzalcoatl45

Let others do the speaking for you as well. Go back to playing Big Mutha Truckers and don't concern yourself with anything else. Please.

I really don't see how online was a desiding factor.. it took the PS2 forever to get their online into shape and it was still very subpar compared to the Xbox.. and how many subscribers did they even have? maybe a couple million? that doesn't exactly sound like a system seller to me...zh666

Agreed. I don't think online was as big a factor as people make it out to be, simply look at the Xbox. How many Xbox owners took  the Xbox online? 2 million out of an installed base of about 20 million. That's roughly 5%. An even lower percentage of gamers took their PS2 online.

To simply say that the Gamecube needed more third party support is also a little......too general a statement. Compared to the N64, the Gamecube had pretty good third party support, but once again, the majority of Gamecube owners didn't buy many 3rd party games. Even must have titles like Resident Evil 4 and Tales of Symphonia didn't sell as well as they should have. Resident Evil 4 sold just over a million units, Tales of Symphonia just over 500,000. That's pretty disgusting. The PS2 version of RE4 sold triple that amount, and the PS2 version of ToS, which was exclusive to Japan only, sold more copies than the GC version in all regions combined. If you really think about it, we're lucky that the Gamecube got these games at all.

How could the Gamecube have avoided this? By attracting more gamers than just the hard-core, the Nintendo fanboy, and children. If the Gamecube's audience had had a sizable percentage of casual, sports or RPG gamers then 3rd party support could have seen much better sales. Why did this demograph choose the PS2? This is the real question we should be looking at, and while online was a factor, it wasn't so important a factor.

there was absolutely nothing wrong with this:

"The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker's cel-shaded art direction"

it's art, not everybody enjoys all types of art, just because you didnt like how the game was being presented doesn't mean it was a mistake.

I love Wind Waker. When Wind Waker was unveiled, many developers said, "Oh my God...even Zelda has been kidified." It was for this reason that GTA and many other mature rated multiplatform games never came to Cube.

I actually don't think Wind Waker is a mistake, but many people do. That's why it's included in the poll.

The above reasons have everything to do with there being a lack of third party support. If there had been online, we would have seen more support. If the system had been designed differently, the would have been more third party support. If Wind Waker hadn't been cel-shaded, more developers would have supported the system.

All of the above affect third party support.

The day I rented Kid Icarus for the first time, my other choices were Wizards & Warriors and Karnov, both of which I had played and finished.

If you doubt Kid Icarus' greatness, just look at what else was available at the time. Even scarier, what other games were popular at the time.

We all had Super Mario Brothers because it came packed it with the NES, and Legend of Zelda actually doesn't take a long time to complete. Yes, there were better games, but they were very few and far between.
