Man, I found PN03 so boring. If they had spent more time on it, it might've been okay. As it is, it's a bit like its name -- unwieldy, clunky, and boring. It's not the worst game ever, but it's just easy to ignore, since there were SO MANY great games released that generation. It's one of those games where, in the first 5 minutes, you're like "wow, this could be cool!" and then after 5 more minutes, you're like "oh. so, this is it. Hm." I mean, if you don't like games with any depth or challenge at all, perhaps it's good for one level. But, the same corridors, the same enemies, just clunky and dull. There's just nothing to it -- if I had spent $60 on that thing, I would've been PISSED. Anyway, Capcom really made tons of great games at the time -- Killer7, Devil Kings, the MASTERPIECE Okami, the underrated God Hand, Chaos Legion, Viewtfiul Joe, tons of great new properties (and horseshit like the-so-easy-a-3-year-old-could-beat-it Devil May Cry 2, which was sponsored by a JEANS COMPANY for fuck's sake but anyway). But that one just wasn't very good -- the creator didn't even like it. Actually, never known anyone who particularly liked it, until the last page of this thread. It's probably worth $2.99 I guess. There's a game store by house with literally 10 copies of it, which is odd since I think the game only sold like 10,000 copies, period. There's almost as many copies of it as there are Tubthumping by Chumbawumba. Anyway, it had no substance or depth (which is the reason I play games), and not much to do, it had good animations and a cool main character, that's about it. Have fun!

As for the Capcom-Gamecube thing, Capcom was smart to back out of that, and port all the good games to other systems. Nintendo systems never make anyone any money -- except for Nintendo. That's why there's never any third party support. Oh, sure, Nintendo is the best game company ever, but when even the super-loyal TREASURE is saying, "Yep, Sin and Punishment 2 [the best game on the Wii] isn't a success -- big shock -- so we're shifting ALL SUPPORT to the 360 now" (which is dead in Japan, the only place Treasure's games do well), you know they've officially pissed off game companies for good. Gamecube had no 3rd party exclusives worth playing, aside from stuff that was already available (Ikaruga) or would become available elsewhere later. Resident Evil 4 was a huge game -- that didn't do too well on the Gamecube, and sold a SHITLOAD on the PS2. A game company would be nuts to exclusively align themselves with a Nintendo system, especially in this day and age where the average game costs MILLIONS to make.
