Animal Crossing
Metroid Prime 2 Echoes
SSBM
Mario Kart Double Dash
Mario Party Games
Sonic Adventure 2 Battle
Sports Games
Call of Duty
Custom Robo
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles
Ghost Recon
Golden Eye Rouge Agent
Mario Golf
Mario Tennis
NFS Underground
NFS Underground 2
Rainbow 6
Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow
Super Monkey Ball
Super Monkey Ball 2
Tetris Worlds
and a bunch of other games

It is.

Only with Mario Kart, Kirby's Air Ride and 1080 Avalanche as far as I know though.

You can play it through Warp Pipe if you have a broadband adaptor.

Yeah, we've all thought about it.

It's already online. We have the Phantasy Star Online series. Nintendo and 3rd parties just don't care to take the time to give us online options and think we'll be happy with their neutered version of the game.

Wow, Phantasy Star Online. That'll keep you awake for a about three seconds. I just hope that Nintendo comes to it's senses with the DS.

There are potentially 2 online games coming out that look very, very, interesting.

But then again, one could be only released in japan, whilst another may be for the next gen or not even an mmo at all!

I think the GCN would have done better with some type of online program. With so much different fun multiplayer games, it would've been nice to see some online action.

Maybe, but not that much better. Xbox Live penetration is about 8%, considering that Microsoft have yet to make ANYTHING from Xbox, I think Nintendo made a very wise decision to put off online for now.

Gamecube is already online and to get online you need to buy; 1) either a broadband adapter (if you have broadband) or a modem adapter (if you don't have broadband) 2) one copy of either Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Kirby's Air Ride, or 1080: Avalanche, then plug em in and off you go. For full instructions go to http://www.nintendo.com/connectgcn , well not really full instructions but they give you the basic idea or what its all about.

I like online game play this is a pity. I mean come on Nintendo it helps to win in the System wars. GCN had so much promas and it kind of failed there.

Umm, Im not going to start anything hostile but, isnt the thread name Gamecube Online? I dont see anything about cennectivity with the GBA or w/e you meant.

Just a little confused.

Didnt think the quote turned out right...

Alright what the crap ill just leave it!

What are you talking about? Speedfreak said the page mentioned by loony636 was about Gamecube/GBA Connectivity not the thread title itself.

I have all three systems (ps2, gamecube, xbox) and i love them so berry berry much, but xbox live seems to be the fastest most convenient online console service. (but you have to pay for it, so that's a good weapon against fanboys) i would have liked to see nintendo expand GCN's online capabilities and game selections, but they needed to start sooner.




Posted by loony636

look, all that page said was about connectivity, okay so i got it wrong, but is shows that the Gamecube is going online doesn't it, with the broadband and modem adapters? So I'm half right.
