Animal Crossing

Each time I read more about this game I want it more. The NES emu alone is enough! :) If Nintendo plays this right, they could push the game collecting as a "Pokemon" style thing and really have it take off. Gotta' collect em' all. Or something. Put out Animal Crossing red/blue/yellow/mauve/olive/brown/orange, each with unique NES games that must be linked and traded. The "cards" are a great idea, too. I've even heard rumors that 3rd parties will get in on the fun and release their NES games, too. The GBA connection makes it that much better. Watch out, Nester DC! :)

Nes games: playable on the GC/GBA, which is downloaded via the gamelink cable. When you turn off the GBA, the game is erased.

What you said is correct, but i think its worth mentioning that you can put the GBA into sleep mode, which uses as little battery power as possible while still keeping the game in memory. Basically, if you wanna play Punch-Out! on your GBA at different intervals during a certain day, its entirely possible to do so with battery power to spare.

I'm very excited for Animal Crossing. All the people who rag on games for being "too linear" better give this game a shot, because it gives a whole new meaning to non-linear gameplay.

I cannot wait for this game. NES games on the GBA, OH YEAH.

Basically, it's sorta like Shenmue, except without "revenge driven" story and everything is cuter.

Can't wait.

I would have to agree. This game wowed Kinipio and I at the E3. Should be great.

Also if your intrested, you can try to win two free copies a month before release. I can't remember the link, but if you go to planetgamecube.com they have info on it. You need a partner and the competition ends on the 12th.

I can't wait for this game either. A while back I was pretty apathetic about it, having not read or heard anything on it, but after reading some previews it looks like this will finally provide GC some of that oh-so scrumptious open-ended game play that I love :)

This game shot up to one of my most anticipated games this year after watching the E3 footage of it. Everything is SO CUTE!!! ::anime eyes::

As if the NES games weren't reason enough, the living breathing world sounds really cool... now I wonder if Doshin the Giant will ever make it here...

Shenmue with monkeys! I'm there!

I think the cuteness of the game would drive me insane. Maybe if it was possible to stalk and maim other animal forest citizens.
