Oh it's okay, you don't have to reply because I was actually just rambling - I forgot to mention I was rather incoherent when I wrote it due to my damn insomnia so I probably didn't make much sense. I also forgot to thank you for starting the thread because we've been seriously lacking in good conversations in a long time on here, so it was nice to see this. Thanks again!

The DC is, to me, one of those "love-it-or-hate-it" consoles. The reason being is that I think the console's game line-up was rather unappealing or "confusing" to some, in that they offered quite a few mainstream-appealing games (Sonic, Dead or Alive, Soul Calibur, etc.) while having obscure and/or oddball titles (I think a lot of them were also arcade ports, right?) at the same time (Chu Chu Rocket, Dynamite Cop, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, etc.).

It's almost like the DC didn't know exactly which scene they wanted to enter in...but I felt the lineup was a good balance because it had many games in different genres and styles that could've and should've appealed to many people. Poor thing. But I do agree with you, Harry, that the DC isn't exactly a landmark console but I don't mind it. I miss it actually.

Thank goodness because I was beginning to fear that I was the only one who couldn't stand the annoying parents wandering around with their WiiFit Boards and glaring and judging all those who, you know, are gamers.
