We play games made for their tastes. If it doesn't work in reverse (and it doesn't), they are just close-minded elitist pricks.

Please don't go out of your way to dispell my ignorance. I'm sure the game is secretly garbage and no one told me.

Mech Deus's comment was that Xbox versions of all multiplatform games were better by default because they supported 480p and that the GC ones didnt

my point was that of the majority of the major multiplatform releases the only one not having 480p on both systems was BG&E

Really? I don't remember japanese games selling aswell here as they did there. The biggest Xbox game, Halo is simply not thier as taste as most of them hate FPS's. The main Japanese gaming demographic play "familiar" RPG's. Things like a series name and reputation have a lot more impact than just how good a game is.

And that is something that the Xbox lacks when it comes to games. All the exclusive games that the Xbox has don't have either quality.

So let's revise the statement.

You dont need to order a cable from some videogame store in the middle of Iowa.

I never keep up with goings on in Japan really. I'm really just under the impression that nothing but Dead or Alive was the only thing anyone likes over there (which is popular enough here too).

VGD carries the import official Nintendo component cables.

There is no such thing as a 3rd party Gamecube component cable since Nintendo puts a proprietary EEPROM chip at the root of the cable.

Nintendo are douchebags.
