    Default Nintendo making another add-on for Cube maybe?

    Nintendo has posted a poll in its homepage, asking users if they would be interested to purchase an adaptor which allows you to play all existing N64 cartridges on GameCube, and how much would you pay for it.

    These cartridges are dirty as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!

    That would be a waste. The lowest price they mention selling it for is $39. Is know it says 'up to', but seriously.

    Why not just go buy an N64 for like $20 at a local gamestore? I'm sure they've got plenty of them.

    Conserving space, I would be more than happy to pay double the price of an N64 for one... I would pay up to $50 for it.

    I totally agree. Some game stores are giving them away free when you buy a certain amount of 64 games. Nintendo should be more worried about the next console and making that backwards compatible with GC. Why do they always do things like this and the E-reader, and never follow through completely. NOA always starts something cool then falls back into the pokemon safety net and that leaves most of us nintendo nuts wishing we lived in japan.
    if you can read this congratulations!! you can read

    I'd buy it. I'm not a Nintendo collector, so that would be one less system taking up space in my house.

    I back up that statement 100%...Nintendo can't stick with an idea if the world depended on it sadly.

    I'd consider it just to be able to play n64 games without having to wrestle with that garbage controller.

    Definitely. I'd pay $40-50 to be able to play N64 games with readily available Gamecube controllers. Though the C-button issue might take some work. Hopefully they'd allow the buttons to be totally configurable.

    Three little letters: R G B

    Most N64 owners never got to see the games in this output format. Now is the chance!

    I didn't have any trouble playing Ocarina of Time or MM on the Zelda Collector's disc. Actually i found the C knob to be easier to use than the orginal buttons imo.

    What about games like Dk 64, MM, Perfect Dark, StarCraft, etc? Expansion pack issues?

    Easy, just put the extra 4MB of RAM in there...but you know that Nintendo wouldn't do that off the bat... >_<

    I'd say, it should be built in already, get rid of the middle man jumper pak

    Because if it cost $39...think about it....Price of N64 is $20...Expansion pak is near $20 as well....so it evens out I think
    These cartridges are dirty as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!

    The next question I would have is: will the tristar converter work with it? Unfortunately, since it's not a nintendo product, there's no gurantee at all, and it may look goofy as heck, but the idea of being able to play any nintendo game from the NES to the gamecube on one system is very nice

    edit: I voted yes, 49

    I voted "interested - $39" but it might be safe to assume this will be something that hooks up to the same expansion port that the GB Player does.... :/
