RS W/O the xpac was jagariffic. It looked a lot better with the expansion pac. Turok 2 was another one of the early games to use it but the first was NFLQBclub 99 (the only qb club ever that could actually pass for a decent football game.)

DKC and MM were the only games to need the xpac (I think) and PD needed it for almost all but the most basic multiplayer (you couldn't even play the single player without it.)

Nintendo didn't really get an 80$ pop from xpac games. They got the same pop they always got and then maybe once (not everyone bought the xpac) they got the pop.



Funny, I just threw my second xpac (the one I got for free with dk64 because nintendo refused to sell the game without the pac) away yesterday.



As for the GCNSP I highly doubt it. It would be nice and all but it's going to cost a lot of money for nintendo to put it together and it's still not going to make much of a dent against sony. I think the far more interesting story on IGN were the ms/nintendo team up next gen rumors, even though they're even more far fetched.
