If you love the Gamecube, boycott the Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy! On one episode, (I don't know if there are more.) Billy, the stupid one of the bunch was playing, a cube-shaped game system, labeled "Lame Cube". Now that really makes me mad, because I love the Gamecube! (They also make fun of pokemon, to those who are pokemon fans out there.) Their trying to brainwash the children not to buy the Gamecube!!! They can make fun of everything else, but NOT MY BELOVED GAMECUBE!!!! To those who think the Gamecube is lame, think about this: If no one buys a Gamecube, Nintendo will go out of business, and there would be no Zelda to play.
No, they wouldn't. Did Sega go out of business after the Saturn? They had three prior consoles (SG-1000, Master System and Mega Drive/Genesis) and one or two handhelds. Only one of them was succesfull. Yet, they made the Dreamcast.
Nintendo has a different story. Back in the late 80's they dominated 80-90% of the industry, and earned more profits than all the big Hollywood companies put together. If we take every single handheld console ever sold that was not made by Nintendo and compare they're sales with every single Nintendo handheld ever sold Nintendo dominates with 94%.
A failing GC would not harm Nintendo much. Those people probably picked the GC because the word game sounds like lame.
Personally, I think all consoles this generation has been pretty lame.
But imagine, playing The Legend of Zelda on PS2 or on an Xbox. It doesn't seem right... :(
but that wouldn't happen.
Nintendo would release another console, and zelda would stay with them.
;D :D You = ???
Yeah, Nintendo isn't ready to sell out like Sega did.
And even if some people decided to boycott the GC that wouldn't hurt the sales much. And besides, Nintendo is by far the true winners of this generation. They earn far more profit from gaming than Microsoft and Sony.
Particularly Microsoft, I suppose. (Down with the XBox!)

BURN THE XBOX!!!!(CHANT)
CAPS LOCK IS STUCK
Although it would take 3 people just to pick up the Xbox.
so? incendiary bombs!
Nah, Bill Gates anticipated the destruction of the Xbox and armor coated it. It can only be destroyed at the place of it's creation, Mt. Doom. There's an inscription on the top. It's written in the tongue of Mordor but in the Common Tongue it reads:
In the land of Microsoft where the shadows lie
One console to rule them all.
One console to find them.
One console to bring them all and in the darkness binds them.
they fogot to make it work though.
Here's the complete legacy to be fitted as best as I could.
three consoles for Sony, who is smallest of the three( console size wise)
seven for Sega, who is no longer no more
nine for Nintendo, wisest of the three
One for Microsoft, in their dark room
In the lands of Microsoft, where the shadows lie
One Console to rule them all
One Console to find them
One Console to bring them and in the darkness, binds them
In the land of Microsoft where the shadows lie
Wow. It's amazing how connected the XBox is to Sauron's intention to take over Middle-Earth, eh? 8)
I think that may be pretty close on the number of consoles, would somebody elaborate on this?
Well, Nintendo actually has twelve consoles, unless you count the Game Boy Light, which was only released in Japan, and the DS Lite, which is only out in Japan now. Here's a full list, anyways:
NES
SNES
N64
Gamecube
Game Boy
Game Boy Pocket
Game Boy Color
Game Boy Advance
Game Boy Advance SP
Game Boy Micro
DS
Virtual Boy
And, if you count them:
Game Boy Light
DS Lite
Hope that helps. ;D

well, don't watch the comedy show that I'm gonna make. Were going to say a good "UP YOURS, humour sapping political correctness!" and make racist, violent, harshly worded (in the "F**** YOU" sense)
Every thing is fair game for mockery.
It'll involve me, davros and a few other "conscripts"
Well, that's the closest I could get it in proportions with LOTR. But it was still pretty close.
Edit: I think most people would like to forget the Virtual Boy, and we'll not count the ones that you got on technicalities, so therefore we've got nine consoles.
i watch cartoons, and i remember in a series of The PowerPuffGirls that the mayor of townsville was playing Zelda in 3D, so it was ocarina of time, and he killef Navi! i allways wanted to do that...
Speaking of Zelda cameos in shows/movies, did anyone notice the poster of Link and Epona in Shrek 2?^_^
QuoteAnd, if you count them:
Game Boy Light
DS Lite
If you count them you should also count the Famicom.
nope, but ill watch it right now

Now THAT was a funny part! I think he lost a life when he killed Navi, right?
yes
