NorykoAngelcry Posted December 21, 2001 Share Posted December 21, 2001 [COLOR=darkred][SIZE=1]Awsome that you found that out, now you can make sure to tell everyone else that gets you money and gifts that you want some GAMECUBE games :naughty: As for the Modem - no, it has not come out yet, and they are still working on the development and use of it. It will be pretty awsome when it does, and I hope that they make a Super Smash Brothers with the modem capable :drool: Can't wait. .

Fall Posted December 22, 2001 Share Posted December 22, 2001 I thought that you could hook up a normal old dial=up modem to use with the GC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kizu Posted December 22, 2001 Share Posted December 22, 2001 I never thought about that. Taht would be sweet to play the tourney mode over the internet with other people oyu don't know. But cold there be a problem with like hackers. Or is it just going to connect the GC so you can't breack the line and hack some ones GC. That would really suck if your playing someone in SSB over hte internet and someone hacks your GC and ruins it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desbreko Posted December 23, 2001 Share Posted December 23, 2001 [color=indigo]I think that if Nintendo gets a network up and running, it won't be connected to the internet. They'll probably have their servers, and you'll connect to that to play online games. I really doubt that you'll be able to browse the web on your TV with the GCN. That, and I don't think you could hack into a GCN. I mean, what would you do even it it is possible? You can't actually damage the system physically. And since you don't have any software on the system, you wouldn't be able to mess with that. You don't have a hard-drive, so you couldn't mess with any files at all. There's just not anything you could screw up.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use that to go on here! Does that mean that I could use the modem I'm using now, to use with the NGC?

RicoTranzrig Posted December 23, 2001 Share Posted December 23, 2001 It probably won't fit...it's not a PCI card slot in the Cube... BTW: What's the server for the GCN going to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorykoAngelcry Posted December 23, 2001 Share Posted December 23, 2001 [COLOR=darkred][SIZE=1]To be honest, from the little poking around I have done, Nintendo is being pretty hush hush about the whole modem thing. They have not talked about anything from what I have seen, and I think that is the way to go. They don't want to say one thing, and have it disected a million different ways, only to find that they went another way all together, as Nintendo likes to do sometimes ^_^ All in all, I am hopeful that the modem will work really well, and will be very easy to use with the games. I want to see games able to be played over the net vs. people from all over the U.S., the U.K., Australia, Japan, etc. . . that would just rule!! *waits frantically* :nervous: [/SIZE][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nintendo will be selling a 56K Modem and Broadband Adapter that fit into one of the ports on the bottom of the GCN. The modems that are used with PCs deffinatly won't fit in the port on the GCN. Here's a picture of the 56K Modem (the Broadband Adapter looks the same, only grey) that I found on [url]www.nintendo.com[/url]:[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
