Soul Calibur, that's Calibur without a trace of an "e," was not a Dreamcast launch title, it was an American Dreamcast launch title. The Dreamcast launched in late 1998 in Japan and Soul Calibur came out in 1999 in Japan, as well as 1999 in America.

Mwah ahahaahahah..........um excuse me. I just think that's the way the business world works. Now, Bill Gates has taken that to a new low......but what can you do. I would like to see closer competition between companies, it make for better products. Microsoft needs a competitor to keep it motivated to inovate. The best example would be the console race. If Sony completely wiped out all it's competitors, like Microsoft did, there would be no one to keep them on there toes and moving. They would probly just push out better versions of what's already out there...like microsoft. hOoce'D oN FoNikS wORkeD fOR mEe Cheers, Jimmy (A.K.A.

MSN has always been better than AOL, if if Microsoft lost that battle. You're wrong. Most every single one of you stating negative things about Microsoft is wrong. Does it really matter? No. But it makes you look like fools. Whatever the subject, whatever it be Microsoft or avacados, spouting off incorrect facts is a waste of everyone's time. As for Bill Gates being a legend? Maybe.

Are you just insecure about your decision to buy the system you currently own? Some systems have better games, but each system has great games. The processing speed or the graphics or the sound etc. really don't matter. If a game provides you with satisfaction then it's a good game. I think we should wait, see how the X-Box develops, and then decide if it's a good system. If it crashes then we won't buy it. If it turns out to be reasonably priced and one hell of a system then there is no reason we shouldn't buy it.(Unless of course the games are crappy). __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

He has never really had a truly innovative idea of his own. He waits till someone else has an idea then he steals/copies it and now that Microsoft is so large, he can just use the company's sheer wealth to drive down the truly innovative small companies.

It's a little known company but this game has AWSOME graphics, and a good story line. It also has a Pokemon type theme where you catch minions - there is a total of 171 minions to catch. You can battle them with your friends too so it's got good replay value. These in my opinion are the types of games that the N64 is lacking. Just good solid games.
