>I don't get the point of owning this [thing] since I can do almost everything with this [other thing] >no you gotta have [thing] since it came out before [other thing]
???
no, he meant it in the past, as in people had to buy the gamecube since the wii wouldn't come out for 5 or so years later. There's no point in owning it now but back then it was another story
Are gamecubes themselves expensive? IDK about prices nowadays, but for the longest time, GC games were way more expensive than PS2/Xbox stuff, but the consoles still went for pennies because you could just use a Wii instead.
Although personally I prefer using my GC for GC games rather than a Wii, just because I hate the Wii's main menu and how you can't navigate it with a GC controller. So first you need to dig out a wiimote and have an IR sensor hooked up just to click the disc channel to boot the game, so goddamn annoying. And AFAIK softmods don't fix this.

One of the few retro game stores sell just the console for 100 euros (plus a 3rd party controller). A Wii with Gamecube controller support costs half of that from them. (plus a 3rd part controller)
damn, I guess gamecube consoles really shot up recently. Although it's possible your retro game store isn't a good indicator of how much they actually go for; places like that are notorious for having ridiculously inflated prices on stuff that goes for a fraction of the price on ebay.
I looked up basically my countrys version of Craigslist. And found a Gamecube console, plus an original controller, memory card and Sims Bustin Out game for 65 euros. So yeah that's what you would pay if you just bought from our people rather than stores.
I load GC games with my softmodded Wii without using my Wiimote, I use Priiloader, you press power and then keep pressing 'reset' for some seconds and instead of the Wii Menu you will load Priiloader, you can use your GC Controller on Priiloader and select the homebrew channel.
I do Priiloader -> Homebrew Channel -> Nintendon't
That's it, I am now playing GC Games without the need of using a Wiimote
That's better so I'll have to check that out, but still not ideal. Really I just wish there were a hacked version of the wii home screen that allowed you to navigate the cursor with a GC controller. Or have the option of auto-booting the disc (similar to how you can set a DS to boot straight into a game and skip the main menu)
>Let me know how that digital AV works for you
the wii is actually capable of that with custom firmware or a certain wii update..
the hardware could do it back then but it just wasnt a software feature on release. there even was an alternative video cable released that had an hdmi connector.
I honestly don't get the point of owning a gamecube or a Wii when a PC can emulate almost every GC and Wii game and is compatible with both systems controllers as long as you have an adapter.
I like the controller and games.
I also like PS2. Not much experience with XBOX, the controller was a bit awkward but Halo 2 was fun. And one strange car brawler game that I can't remember.
Because it was their first console, they found out that it was a flop, something they couldn't imagine when they were young and now that they make youtube videos, they try to change the narrative. That being said, I did have fun with my GC, but I always preferred my PS2 and my friends did too.
I personally liked it, but, the N64 was better and it launched with strong titles, the GC didn't, it was a good console but i had to wait a month to play something good, Luigi's Mansion was cool, but way too short and quirky.
it was the last time nintendo released powerful hardware on par with the competition and the last time they were truly creative and ambitious, with a lot of varied games, new concepts and fresh takes on old IPs >luigi's mansion, goofy pseudo horror point and click style action adventure >pikmin, rts/puzzle game with a unique struggle for life theme and tense gameplay >donkey kong jungle beat, batshit insane platformer/brawler/rythmn game hybrid played with musical instruments >metroid prime, first person metroid with never seen before level design and atmosphere for the time >f zero gx, arguably one of the greatest arcade racers of all time >geist, new fps IP with a fantastic puzzle solving element >baten kaitos, new rpg IP with a unique twist and gorgeous environments >kirby air ride, unique take on racing >eternal darkness, first M rated nintendo game and to this day still one of the best examples of meta interactions between the players and the game >mario sunshine, last challenging mario game with incredible movement depth and a great unifying theme >odama, tactical ancient japan war game/pinball hybrid played with a microphone >star fox adventures, great zelda clone
and that's not mentioning stuff like the last released wave race and 1080° snowboarding, a genuinely great paper mario rpg, melee for the autists, etc etc
add the gba to the mix and you had the last golden age of nintendo, compare to their production on switch and it's dire
This, also third party support was still on par with the competition so you had the best of both worlds. There's just so much good shit on the Gamecube.
The Gamecube had the worst 3rd party support out of the bunch. And when it did receive a port it was usually the worst port out of the bunch. (Need For Speed Most Wanted comes to mind)
>it was the last time nintendo released powerful hardware
The Switch wasn't that bad for a handheld, but they just bought a chip that was already designed and produced by Nvidia, so I'm not sure if that counts.
The gamecube was Nintendo's least creative console ever. Almost every game was just an N64 game with a minor gimmick added.
Mario Sunshine is Mario 64 with a (shitty) jetpack
Mario Parties were just the N64 Mario Parties with capsules instead of items.
Mario Kart was Mario Kart 64 with two racers (that added almost nothing)
Animal Crossing was a port of an N64 game.
>Mario Kart was Mario Kart 64 with two racers (that added almost nothing)
It also had a much bigger character pool, unique items attached to each new racer, and it was the first time you could actually pick your kart to have different stats. Also conveniently left out that having 2 drivers per kart doubles the items you can hold.
Double Dash was a pretty big jump over 64.
My man literally every 3D game since 2000 is just a polished N64 game with added gimmicks. The n64 era was the last time the industry made a truly big step forward in game design. It's all just gimmicks now.
Reason is fricking nostalgia. The late millenials and zoomers who had a Gamecube when they were kids have grown up and have nostalgia for it. N64 has the same type of nostalgia as well.
>2001 it sucks
What? When the frick was this the narritive? The GameCube was always a good nintendo console with solid games for it. And now these days it's also very popular to emulate.
The stigmatization of kiddie games and anything fun or colorful was the worst thing to happen to gaming and directly transitioned us into a decade of ugly brown "realism" where most games were cover-based shooters and walking simulators.
There's plenty of Kiddie games kids are meant to play like Fortnite and Minecraft and Pokemon and Sonic and Mario and etc. They never left. These "ugly brown realism" games were all what make up Playstation/Xbox from day one, they never changed.
the gamecube was awesome to me when i was a kid, they had all the classic nintendo franchises with competitive graphics.
the wii was a massive disappointment to me
>Prime 1
based >RE4
third party, multi-platform (GCN being the worst version) >F-Zero GX
outsourced to Sega but still based >Smash Bros
unfathomably cringe >Soul Calibur 2
multi-platform and also cringe
I like the Gamecube because that was just what I had during 6th gen. It wasn't a rational decision, I've just always liked Nintendo stuff. I always had cool shit to play. Luigis Mansion, Pikmen, Killer 7, Resident Evil 4 (oh bby when this came out...), F-Zero GX and many others. I know Lost Kingdoms 1 and 2 are shit and FromSoft's worse game (i don't agree) but I liked those two as well.
I wouldn't buy a Gamecube and pay market value for these games today, but you don't need to. A Wii is moronic easy to hack, Dolphin works well enough with every game that matters. Hell my Gamecube has had it's lazer replaced by a GCLoader. I don't even play the Gamecube games I have.
Why do people covet the Cube? For Reddit updoots and to appear like a "real oldschol gamer". It's 100% all for show. "Cubivore? Yeah had that since back in the day. You don't? ch. Missing out bruh, THE BEST game. Get it before it crests $700, worth every penny."
Loved Link in SC2.
I find it a curious coincidence the guy used the black GC for his thumbnail when purple was the default colour. I had a black one too because it looks much better but I’m starting to think the idea that the think used up look pretty tacky is part of the reason it gets remembered more fondly than it may deserve. Seems like everyone pretends cool black was the default look.
Well purple is a "homosexual color" so of course I chose the black one.
I still fail to see how was better than PS2 or Xbox, other than two or three titles. Gamecube only became a complete console after the wii got released.
Like pretty much every Nintendo console, it had a lot of problems and was basically inferior to the competition, but it had Nintendo exclusives, so it's that same question as always: do you care enough about Nintendo games? If yes, then the Gamecube offered some good games. If no, then you can ignore the console completely..
i have held the opinion that its their worst 3D console for awhile now, if anything my opinion of it has worsened over time. it has the worst 3D Mario and the worst 3D Zelda, its ironically carried super hard by third party games and outsourcing their IPs.
Wii > N64 > Switch > WiiU > GCN
i like sunshine, its just significantly worse than literally every other 3D mario, and its the only 3D mario game that gets mogged by other 3D platformers from the same gen (Super Monkey Ball 1&2, Billy Hatcher, Ape Escape 2&3, Sly Cooper 2&3)
you talk about filtered but then get filtered by some of the best movement mechanics ever seen in 3D platformers holy shit, i'm sorry you can't make jumps without being able to slowly stall mid-air for several seconds.
The only first party stuff the GCN had over the N64 was a better F-Zero entry, the Metroid Prime games, and Pikmin. Almost every Mario series besides Strikers has significantly better entry on the N64 (3D Mario, Mario Kart, Mario Party Mario Tennis, Mario Golf, Paper Mario), it has Ocarina AND Majora vs fricking Wind Waker, the GCN murdered Star Fox, and their other new IPs like Chibi-Robo and Battalion Wars sucked on GCN (though BW did get an actually good game on Wii at least).
>Mario Party
GC Mario Party games were still really good. And not needing to scratch open your palm was a huge plus too. >Mario Kart
Double Dash was great with little to no people actually hating on it. MK64 already kinda aged through it, because it felt slow with overly long tracks >Paper Mario
People liked both games. Even now only a few call one significantly better than the other.
You also forgot to mention Pokemon where the GC games were actually their own thing. Or Melee being a huge step up from Smash 64. Or Fire Emblem actually getting a game on GC. You're either completely dishonest or have no idea what the era was like.
It had a great library and the Gameboy player was a nice bonus. It just didn't sell much, so a lot of its games flew under people's radars or they had a low print run to begin with. That's part of the reason why games on it cost so much these days.
You could ask the same question about a lot of consoles. All the marketers have long since stopped being paid to tell you what to think, the console warriors have long since forgotten why they hated it, so the only people left talking about it are the ones who enjoyed it.

You are very silly if you believe a console being a shitty purple colour in all ads and promotional material (as well as purple being the colour associated with Nintendo at events and such, like red is now) had no impact on perception and sales. At the end of the day a lot of players are kids, especially back then, and they don’t want something that doesn’t look cool.
That was by design, Nintendo wanted to retain the family friendly image.
Which didn't help them in that era. That generation was gaming's awkward teen years where everyone was desperate to look mature. "Kiddie" was endlessly thrown around as an insult, they were so desperate to not look like they were playing with toys. Fricking morons missed out because of it, and the industry turned into a brown and bloom hell for a decade. Also helped push the movie game because adults watch movies.
Everyone who had the machine loved it. It still boasts Nintendo's best attach rate. It was seen to have come in second that generation, even if raw hardware sales say Xbox was in more homes, GC's software sales shit all over the Xbox's.
It also made money, so calling it a flop is moronic. It wasn't the success they wanted though.
The Gamecube was a flop with great games. It never stood a chance against the PS2 but it's an amazing system in its own right. Sales don't matter when the generation is over and all that matters is the library, that's why people still care and love it.
It never stood a chances against a cheap dvd player that was easy to pirate games on I'd say is more accurate when it comes to hardware sales.
Though the Ps2 overall is good for sure.
The handlebar was very useful to me when I was 14 and had to grab the console/controllers/cables and walk across the block to my crush's house to play some smash bros/sonic heroes with her. That gamecube got me laid. Only gays who never left their room complain about the handlebar.
Its wild how the PS2 could have had the same issues with third party support that the gamecube did, and it STILL could be arguably a better console just based on its first party offerings. Sony used to put out such good shit when they first came around.
Ape Escape 3 was definitely my favorite on the system as far as first party stuff. But they also had Ico, Shadow Of The Colossus, the Sly Cooper games, the Jak & Daxter games, the Ratchet & Clank games. There's also stuff by studios they didn't own but they published like Dark Cloud and Rogue Galaxy, and stuff thats questionable to me personally but still liked by the masses like the God of War games and Twisted Metal Black. Never played Killzone myself.
>and it STILL could be arguably a better console just based on its first party offerings
lol what? ps2 exclusives were mostly dogshit that you wouldnt even remember. the ps2 was good mainly because of third party games. Out of nintendo/xbox/playstation, the playstation always had the worst first party games with the least iconic franchises. fricking crash bandicoot used to be their flagship title. This was painfully evident when the ps3 tried making that sony equivalent to smash.
Had nice games. The collector's market for those games is absolutely fricked beyond belief and Nintendo is moronic for not putting them on virtual console
Dolphin is without a doubt the best emulator for a 3D console, especially for GCN games. The few games it does still have issues with are actively being looked into on a consistent basis.
I liked the gamecube I dont care if it flopped or not >why do people covet it now??
because they liked it
what the frick kind of moronic Black person shit is zoomer youtube on about
It's a combination of nostalgia and some of Nintendo's franchises being damaged by casualization. I do think now that Nintendo is becoming more core focused again that some of the glimmer of the Gamecube will begin to fade. Mario Party 7 doesn't seem as amazing when put next to Mario Party Superstars as it did when it was compared to Super Mario Party or Mario Party 10.
>Gamecube failed because was too "japanese", cubic, handlebar, very small, sick purple color, two cute faces in the front.
No, it failed because the games fricking sucked. Despite the N64 being Nintendo's first dip into 3D leading to many issues in development, the gamecube failed to meaningfully improve on most of its software. And in fact, some series like Mario and Zelda actually got *worse* on the gamecube. Half the games were rushed and lacking content.

I'd say it failed because there was no reason to own one. By the time the GameCube came out, the PS2 was already a huge success with a ton of good games. And it was backwards compatible with PS1 games. And it could play DVDs, which was a pretty big deal at the time.
The PS2 was the console to own; the GameCube was the thing you maybe buy at the end of the generation to play the few good exclusives. And I say this as someone who bought a GameCube at launch and a PS2 only in 2005. I was a dumb kid.
>And it could play DVDs, which was a pretty big deal at the time.
I think more than anything, this was the real dealbreaker. It was cheaper than a lot of regular DVD players and worked perfectly, I knew normies that owned a ps2 solely to use it as a DVD player.
Gamecube had the same problems Wii U had. Third party titles were blatantly absent on the platform compared to Xbox or Playstation. Any third party ports it received were often WORSE than the Xbox/PS2 versions. The exceptions being Sonic Heroes because Sega was in bed with Nintendo after they just jumped ship from Dreamcast.
It only had Nintendo games and no third party games worth mentioning besides weebshit.
Gamecube had the worse PS2/Xbox ports too. Fricking SSX 3 was a disgrace on Gamecube while PS2 had online multiplayer.
People who say it sucked back then were fat hairy neckbeards who only ever played JRPGs like Dragon Quest Personas 3, 4 and SMT Nocturne and no other genre, which is ironic considering the strongest of the PS2 library were titles like DMC 3, the Ace Combat Trilogy, Armored Core 3
It had better versions of multiplat such as Viewtiful Joe and Tales of Symphonia
It had the best Resident Evil game in REMake, 4 being a timed exclusive back in the day was nice but not really required. I still bought the ps2 version for separate ways
Metroid Prime was a good series of games
Wind Waker was great, Twilight Princess was shit, and more interesting to play on the Wii. That disc proved to have further utility in hacking the wii anyway
Melee was one of the best party games out there, Mario Parties were ok but paled to the 64 ones
Animal Crossing GC was absolutely great, NES games on there was a nice novelty before I knew about emulation, albeit it was unneeded for those who did
while the JRPGs weren't as good overall you still had games like Skies of Arcadia, Baiten Kaitos, and the aforementioned Tales of Symphonia to help carry it
Id say overall, the PS2 was a better generalist system, but the Gamecube probably has one of my favorite libraries to date next to the SNES. Its a shame nobody who owned a PS2 actually talked about what was good on it other than Devil May Cry back in the day. I always hung out with people who didn't know any better, and while I was kind of broke and didnt have a ton of games on the PS2, the ones I did have my group didn't seem to talk about, such as Jak X Racing (fun as frick) Ratchet and Clank, Resident Evil Outbreak and Armored Core, always pissed me off. They typically played fricking Socom 3 (shit game but hat SOUL) or some shit like Xenosaga, which never clicked with me
Yeah it's fricking moronic. I check prices for NES, SNES and N64 and besides a few outliers most prices are starting to go down or are reasonable relative to their value, but GameCube? Absolutely ridiculous. Average price range for games range from $70 to fricking $200. I grew up in '94 and I don't understand what rhe obsession is for this fricking console. If it's my generation doing this then it's fricking embarassing. I guess it doesn't help that Nintendo refuses to add them to VC or NSO, or re-release any of them besides Super Mario Sunshine. I feel like a majority of these people are hipster secondaries like Josh Thomas that treat the GCN like some sort of avant garde masterpiece or something. It's like Dreamcast hipsterism but way worse.
>want to collect some old PS1 PAL games >all the intetesting games start at 30 and explode in price if theyre even halfway rare >it would be cheaper to import a PAL game from America than to buy from someone within my own country in many cases
Retro game collecting is fricked, and it's definitely because of those same idiots who blew up trading card prices
Josh Thomas basically only has Mario games. He's never even played some of the best games on the system. Imagine being a GameCube fan and you've never played Resident Evil 4
Fair. He likes the Wii almost as much and his tastes with that are even more Scrimbloish. Though honestly I think his love of the Wii is connected to the fact that he once had a successful channel based around it. Whose favorite Wii game is Wii Sports Resort for fricks sake?
I mean, he didn't have an actual job until like a year ago. He ran the channel for ten years and made a shitload from it, his videos were constantly recommended and back in the day he got an enormous amount of views. Now he can't even pull in 3k. Guess that's what "closing" your channel and reopening it like three times will do

Apparently he broke a review embargo by like two weeks because he was mad he didn't get a review copy of Splatoon fast enough. He also was super annoying to NoA, he once shared private contract details or something publicly so that didn't help, he actually was mentioned by those ex Treehouse people as doing that. He did apologize for that but he was at fault for most of this >He could probably get a decent amount of views b***hing about anime games
People keep telling him he's only entertaining when he's mad/ranting but he doesn't care. He just talks about the same five or six things over and over again and wonders why people don't watch his videos. He needs to lean into the b***hing, as you say
That is because the haters hate only new stuff so they forget it.
Same way that nostaliga gays love only old stuff but no new stuff.
It's a infinite cycle.
>Melee homosexualry and its tumorous existence on internet culture tricked people into thinking the gamecube didn't suck >Mario 64 is almost entirely propped up in internet culture via speedrunning homosexuals and Mario blooper videos way back in 2005 >Counterstrike is a doodoo fart ass game with moronic gun mechanics and it's held up by le esports and muh virtual economy
We got anything else like that? Off the top of my head those are the first things to come to mind.
Josh Thomas basically only has Mario games. He's never even played some of the best games on the system. Imagine being a GameCube fan and you've never played Resident Evil 4
I am only one of those people and accusing people of being obsessed as an attempt to dismiss the conversation is itself a concession.
Go chop your pp off and have a suicidal breakdown elsewhere so people can talk about videogames.
The true redpill is that the Wii U is the best Nintendo console ever made. >emulates almost all Nintendo libraries >easy as hell to mod >comfy games like XCX >best pro controller ever made >piracy is braindead easy
Putting the giant gamepad aside literally since most games don't require it I can safely say that in 5 years Wii U's are going to be coveted even more than GameCubes.
The only good thing about the Wii U was the ability to play NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, Wii, Wii U games if you hack it.
Such a shame that the Switch sacrificed its backwards compability. But I don't need it anymore because I emulate them on my PC now.
After playing so much on the n64 and Playstation... man when I got the gamecube, luigi's mansion, and melee for Christmas the graphics were friggin mind blowing >this is it, we've finally arrived at perfect graphics
Not to mention how fricking well melee played and how much comfier the controller was
it was a bright and colorful console known for bright and colorful games like zelda and mario
so it looks a bit silly next to other consoles that are black and have sickdark mature games for mature gamers
even the shittiest console from back then is better than whatever they're trying to pass off now
nintendo games have stayed about the same except their controllers are tiny trash for midgetlings now
the gamecube had some of the best games ever made, that's not just nostalgia - re4, metroid prime, eternal darkness, mario sunshine.
and the interesting thing is that these games still hold up today.
As someone who was old enough to buy a Gamecube when it came out, nobody laughed at any consoles back then because everyone was too busy having fun with the great games their system had.
Nah man, there were at least a few barbs back in the day like "lol of course the only RPG the GameCube has is Mario" or joking about how exclusives didn't stay exclusive
Anyone in my school when those consoles came out dogpiled anyone who had a GCN instead of an XBox. I was mocked even by the ostracized GCN owners because I had Super Monkey Ball.
I honestly don't get the point of owning a gamecube when almost every Wii can play its games and its compatible with the controller
because the gamecube was first you fricking idiot
the Wii U was third and mogs it you Black person
>I don't get the point of owning this [thing] since I can do almost everything with this [other thing]
>no you gotta have [thing] since it came out before [other thing]

no, he meant it in the past, as in people had to buy the gamecube since the wii wouldn't come out for 5 or so years later. There's no point in owning it now but back then it was another story
cuz i aint tryin to play my games with no dildo
fair arguments
Most Wiis (except for that mini aberration) have gamecube ports on top of it
still have to use the dildo to start the game

Actually, Priiloader let's you skip that gay shit and use a real controller for the main menu.
Are gamecubes themselves expensive? IDK about prices nowadays, but for the longest time, GC games were way more expensive than PS2/Xbox stuff, but the consoles still went for pennies because you could just use a Wii instead.
Although personally I prefer using my GC for GC games rather than a Wii, just because I hate the Wii's main menu and how you can't navigate it with a GC controller. So first you need to dig out a wiimote and have an IR sensor hooked up just to click the disc channel to boot the game, so goddamn annoying. And AFAIK softmods don't fix this.
One of the few retro game stores sell just the console for 100 euros (plus a 3rd party controller). A Wii with Gamecube controller support costs half of that from them. (plus a 3rd part controller)
damn, I guess gamecube consoles really shot up recently. Although it's possible your retro game store isn't a good indicator of how much they actually go for; places like that are notorious for having ridiculously inflated prices on stuff that goes for a fraction of the price on ebay.
I looked up basically my countrys version of Craigslist. And found a Gamecube console, plus an original controller, memory card and Sims Bustin Out game for 65 euros. So yeah that's what you would pay if you just bought from our people rather than stores.
I load GC games with my softmodded Wii without using my Wiimote, I use Priiloader, you press power and then keep pressing 'reset' for some seconds and instead of the Wii Menu you will load Priiloader, you can use your GC Controller on Priiloader and select the homebrew channel.
I do Priiloader -> Homebrew Channel -> Nintendon't
That's it, I am now playing GC Games without the need of using a Wiimote
That's better so I'll have to check that out, but still not ideal. Really I just wish there were a hacked version of the wii home screen that allowed you to navigate the cursor with a GC controller. Or have the option of auto-booting the disc (similar to how you can set a DS to boot straight into a game and skip the main menu)
>Wii

Right, but he said Wii, not Wii U.
Wii U doesn't accept GC games, does it??
It does if you frick about with it a bit
>Let me know how that digital AV works for you

Is shit. VBA GX was better by default.
This for me.
My GC has the GB player and a flip-up LCD screen attached, it loks like a monster.
having to navigate the wii menu with a wiimote just to launch GC games
A Wii is literally a GameCube in a different box and slightly more powerful hardware
>A wii is literally a gamecube but everything is completely different
you are fricking moronic
It's literally just the Beta Wii U of the 2000s. The Switch is the Wii.
I honestly don't get the point of owning a gamecube or a Wii when a PC can emulate almost every GC and Wii game and is compatible with both systems controllers as long as you have an adapter.
The motion controller gimmick was terrible
That's a nice wrong opinion you have there.
nintendo board is this way: https://catalog.neet.tv/vr/
Everything was good
The games were good.
OH MY GOD IS THAT A HANDLEBAR? I'M GOING INSANE! SHIT CONSOLE!
I liked my Gamecube because I bought it for three reasons: Zelda, Resident Evil, and Godzilla. It did not disappoint.
I like the controller and games.
I also like PS2. Not much experience with XBOX, the controller was a bit awkward but Halo 2 was fun. And one strange car brawler game that I can't remember.
As a teenager it was good, take it round sleep overs, built in slots for 4 players, and lots of 4 player party or split screen games.
Because we didn't know how good we had it.

Because it was their first console, they found out that it was a flop, something they couldn't imagine when they were young and now that they make youtube videos, they try to change the narrative. That being said, I did have fun with my GC, but I always preferred my PS2 and my friends did too.
Nintendo cultists will praise literally everything made by them
I personally liked it, but, the N64 was better and it launched with strong titles, the GC didn't, it was a good console but i had to wait a month to play something good, Luigi's Mansion was cool, but way too short and quirky.
it was the last time nintendo released powerful hardware on par with the competition and the last time they were truly creative and ambitious, with a lot of varied games, new concepts and fresh takes on old IPs
>luigi's mansion, goofy pseudo horror point and click style action adventure
>pikmin, rts/puzzle game with a unique struggle for life theme and tense gameplay
>donkey kong jungle beat, batshit insane platformer/brawler/rythmn game hybrid played with musical instruments
>metroid prime, first person metroid with never seen before level design and atmosphere for the time
>f zero gx, arguably one of the greatest arcade racers of all time
>geist, new fps IP with a fantastic puzzle solving element
>baten kaitos, new rpg IP with a unique twist and gorgeous environments
>kirby air ride, unique take on racing
>eternal darkness, first M rated nintendo game and to this day still one of the best examples of meta interactions between the players and the game
>mario sunshine, last challenging mario game with incredible movement depth and a great unifying theme
>odama, tactical ancient japan war game/pinball hybrid played with a microphone
>star fox adventures, great zelda clone
and that's not mentioning stuff like the last released wave race and 1080° snowboarding, a genuinely great paper mario rpg, melee for the autists, etc etc
add the gba to the mix and you had the last golden age of nintendo, compare to their production on switch and it's dire
This, also third party support was still on par with the competition so you had the best of both worlds. There's just so much good shit on the Gamecube.
The Gamecube had the worst 3rd party support out of the bunch. And when it did receive a port it was usually the worst port out of the bunch. (Need For Speed Most Wanted comes to mind)
>it was the last time nintendo released powerful hardware
The Switch wasn't that bad for a handheld, but they just bought a chip that was already designed and produced by Nvidia, so I'm not sure if that counts.
The gamecube was Nintendo's least creative console ever. Almost every game was just an N64 game with a minor gimmick added.
Mario Sunshine is Mario 64 with a (shitty) jetpack
Mario Parties were just the N64 Mario Parties with capsules instead of items.
Mario Kart was Mario Kart 64 with two racers (that added almost nothing)
Animal Crossing was a port of an N64 game.
>Mario Kart was Mario Kart 64 with two racers (that added almost nothing)
It also had a much bigger character pool, unique items attached to each new racer, and it was the first time you could actually pick your kart to have different stats. Also conveniently left out that having 2 drivers per kart doubles the items you can hold.
Double Dash was a pretty big jump over 64.
And it was also horribly balanced and controlled so it was pointless to play unless you wanted to be frustrated.
>only cites mario spinoffs
who gives a frick
also good job ignoring all the examples I gave of new IPs and concepts, dilate
My man literally every 3D game since 2000 is just a polished N64 game with added gimmicks. The n64 era was the last time the industry made a truly big step forward in game design. It's all just gimmicks now.
kirby's air ride city battle mode is the precursor to battle royales, change my mind
Bomberman main multiplayer game mode is called Battle Royale
name != gameplay
homie the game plays like a battle royale as well
Because it's old Nintendo console so nostalgium addicted menchildren will droll and dance at the thought of playing mediocre Nintendo slop
Daily reminder almost every third party game on GameCube got a superior PS2 port.
I didn't even know the GC is considered a flop till a few years ago when I looked up the sales. I had a blast with mine back in the day.
Reason is fricking nostalgia. The late millenials and zoomers who had a Gamecube when they were kids have grown up and have nostalgia for it. N64 has the same type of nostalgia as well.
I can like whatever I want, frick off. If there's people who look back fondly on the saturn, i can look back fondly on the purple lunchbox.
>2001 it sucks
What? When the frick was this the narritive? The GameCube was always a good nintendo console with solid games for it. And now these days it's also very popular to emulate.
always seen as a kiddie console
The stigmatization of kiddie games and anything fun or colorful was the worst thing to happen to gaming and directly transitioned us into a decade of ugly brown "realism" where most games were cover-based shooters and walking simulators.
There's plenty of Kiddie games kids are meant to play like Fortnite and Minecraft and Pokemon and Sonic and Mario and etc. They never left. These "ugly brown realism" games were all what make up Playstation/Xbox from day one, they never changed.
People always "dunk on" this but I quiet enjoyed those games. Resistance 3 and Gears 2 are great.
That was always the narrative. Gamecube was for fricking oddballs that played the same 3-4 single player games forever.
had a ton of friends with gcs and all of them played multiplayer games along with single player games on it
>Gamecube was for fricking oddballs that played the same 3-4 single player games
gamecube had 4 people multiplayer while the PS2 only had 2 though
Hordes of Sonybros shitting on Nintendo consoles and games they hadn't actually played. In other words, same shit as now but 22 years ago.
the gamecube was awesome to me when i was a kid, they had all the classic nintendo franchises with competitive graphics.
the wii was a massive disappointment to me
>Metroid prime
>RE4
>F Zero GX
>Smash Bros
>Soul calibur 2
The strongest top 5 of all time
>Prime 1

>RE4
third party, multi-platform (GCN being the worst version)
>F-Zero GX
outsourced to Sega but still based
>Smash Bros
unfathomably cringe
>Soul Calibur 2
multi-platform and also cringe
GC is the best 6th gen version of RE4. The PS2 and PC ports were trash. Wii is better but that doesn't count
Bros
>unfathomably cringe
i hate every smash bros entry like you wouldn't believe.
git gud
>i hate every smash bros entry like you wouldn't believe.
We know, zoomer.
I like the Gamecube because that was just what I had during 6th gen. It wasn't a rational decision, I've just always liked Nintendo stuff. I always had cool shit to play. Luigis Mansion, Pikmen, Killer 7, Resident Evil 4 (oh bby when this came out...), F-Zero GX and many others. I know Lost Kingdoms 1 and 2 are shit and FromSoft's worse game (i don't agree) but I liked those two as well.
I wouldn't buy a Gamecube and pay market value for these games today, but you don't need to. A Wii is moronic easy to hack, Dolphin works well enough with every game that matters. Hell my Gamecube has had it's lazer replaced by a GCLoader. I don't even play the Gamecube games I have.
Why do people covet the Cube? For Reddit updoots and to appear like a "real oldschol gamer". It's 100% all for show. "Cubivore? Yeah had that since back in the day. You don't? ch. Missing out bruh, THE BEST game. Get it before it crests $700, worth every penny."
Loved Link in SC2.
Well purple is a "homosexual color" so of course I chose the black one.
>Lost Kingdoms 1 and 2
Legitimately excellent games and people don’t understand how good the card system is
this really is the dumbest fricking board on the internet
nah that would be /misc/

Shalom : )
tendies sad to discover reality
I have never played a single GameCube game
I still fail to see how was better than PS2 or Xbox, other than two or three titles. Gamecube only became a complete console after the wii got released.
It was literally fine for the time and the handle made it easy to transport.
It could have had some more AAA titles though.
Like pretty much every Nintendo console, it had a lot of problems and was basically inferior to the competition, but it had Nintendo exclusives, so it's that same question as always: do you care enough about Nintendo games? If yes, then the Gamecube offered some good games. If no, then you can ignore the console completely..
for me it was xbox
Xbox had the best shovelware and AA
The GameCube only sins were the shitty discs fricking up the potential of some games and going up against the PS2.
i have held the opinion that its their worst 3D console for awhile now, if anything my opinion of it has worsened over time. it has the worst 3D Mario and the worst 3D Zelda, its ironically carried super hard by third party games and outsourcing their IPs.
Wii > N64 > Switch > WiiU > GCN
>filtered by sunshine
stick to elden nig fromtroony
i like sunshine, its just significantly worse than literally every other 3D mario, and its the only 3D mario game that gets mogged by other 3D platformers from the same gen (Super Monkey Ball 1&2, Billy Hatcher, Ape Escape 2&3, Sly Cooper 2&3)
that's blatantly false (fricking billy hatcher lmao) but it's ok I forgive you for being moronic
you talk about filtered but then get filtered by some of the best movement mechanics ever seen in 3D platformers holy shit, i'm sorry you can't make jumps without being able to slowly stall mid-air for several seconds.
>worst 3D nintendo
>not the N64
>not the abomination with a horrible controller that had 1 and a half decent games
Are you fricking stupid for real
nah but you are if you purport N64 had no games when it had by far the most that people wanted to actually fricking play
The only first party stuff the GCN had over the N64 was a better F-Zero entry, the Metroid Prime games, and Pikmin. Almost every Mario series besides Strikers has significantly better entry on the N64 (3D Mario, Mario Kart, Mario Party Mario Tennis, Mario Golf, Paper Mario), it has Ocarina AND Majora vs fricking Wind Waker, the GCN murdered Star Fox, and their other new IPs like Chibi-Robo and Battalion Wars sucked on GCN (though BW did get an actually good game on Wii at least).
>Mario Party
GC Mario Party games were still really good. And not needing to scratch open your palm was a huge plus too.
>Mario Kart
Double Dash was great with little to no people actually hating on it. MK64 already kinda aged through it, because it felt slow with overly long tracks
>Paper Mario
People liked both games. Even now only a few call one significantly better than the other.
You also forgot to mention Pokemon where the GC games were actually their own thing. Or Melee being a huge step up from Smash 64. Or Fire Emblem actually getting a game on GC. You're either completely dishonest or have no idea what the era was like.
>Or Fire Emblem actually getting a game on GC.
Kek. Gamecubegays fricking despise Fire Emblem.
>why do people covet it now?
because you don't know what you've lost until its gone
It had a great library and the Gameboy player was a nice bonus. It just didn't sell much, so a lot of its games flew under people's radars or they had a low print run to begin with. That's part of the reason why games on it cost so much these days.
>video essay
FRICK OFF ZOOMERS
hardly an essay
>Nintendo innovated by doing a lot of (barely) firsts for their consoles
>here's a list of games with their origin stories
>it had a handlebar.
you hate handlebars?
Why make it a cube and not a sphere?
gamepyramid was better
You could ask the same question about a lot of consoles. All the marketers have long since stopped being paid to tell you what to think, the console warriors have long since forgotten why they hated it, so the only people left talking about it are the ones who enjoyed it.
I find it a curious coincidence the guy used the black GC for his thumbnail when purple was the default colour. I had a black one too because it looks much better but I’m starting to think the idea that the think used up look pretty tacky is part of the reason it gets remembered more fondly than it may deserve. Seems like everyone pretends cool black was the default look.
"default" is a meaningless term when black and silver cubes were readily available and most people chose those when the option was available.
You are very silly if you believe a console being a shitty purple colour in all ads and promotional material (as well as purple being the colour associated with Nintendo at events and such, like red is now) had no impact on perception and sales. At the end of the day a lot of players are kids, especially back then, and they don’t want something that doesn’t look cool.
That was by design, Nintendo wanted to retain the family friendly image.
Not a great decision then. If you launch with Luigi’s mansion I don’t think you need to worry about being perceived as too mature.
No, not a great decision.
I think with the GC they were trying to be cool and family oriented at the same time and got what they deserved.
Which didn't help them in that era. That generation was gaming's awkward teen years where everyone was desperate to look mature. "Kiddie" was endlessly thrown around as an insult, they were so desperate to not look like they were playing with toys. Fricking morons missed out because of it, and the industry turned into a brown and bloom hell for a decade. Also helped push the movie game because adults watch movies.
okay, and? My point is that most people had black/silver cubes and that's why you see these colors shown more often nowadays.
The point is people decided not to buy a GC in the first place because they’d only see the purple one, as that was the default one advertised.
lame. the purple was a sick look, shit looks boring now.
mine was platinum and is by far PEAK GAMECUBE
Everyone who had the machine loved it. It still boasts Nintendo's best attach rate. It was seen to have come in second that generation, even if raw hardware sales say Xbox was in more homes, GC's software sales shit all over the Xbox's.
It also made money, so calling it a flop is moronic. It wasn't the success they wanted though.
The Gamecube was a flop with great games. It never stood a chance against the PS2 but it's an amazing system in its own right. Sales don't matter when the generation is over and all that matters is the library, that's why people still care and love it.
It never stood a chances against a cheap dvd player that was easy to pirate games on I'd say is more accurate when it comes to hardware sales.
Though the Ps2 overall is good for sure.
The handlebar was very useful to me when I was 14 and had to grab the console/controllers/cables and walk across the block to my crush's house to play some smash bros/sonic heroes with her. That gamecube got me laid. Only gays who never left their room complain about the handlebar.
Pikmin 2 was sick
F-Zero GX one of the best speed thrill racers ever made
Wind waker
Smash melee
Animal crossing
>Get Gamecube
>Play all 5 good nintendo games on it
>Go back to PS2 and Xbox
Its wild how the PS2 could have had the same issues with third party support that the gamecube did, and it STILL could be arguably a better console just based on its first party offerings. Sony used to put out such good shit when they first came around.
I don't remember many good first party except Ape Escape. I remember Killzone but that game is trash
I loved Square Enix stuff on it though.
Ape Escape 3 was definitely my favorite on the system as far as first party stuff. But they also had Ico, Shadow Of The Colossus, the Sly Cooper games, the Jak & Daxter games, the Ratchet & Clank games. There's also stuff by studios they didn't own but they published like Dark Cloud and Rogue Galaxy, and stuff thats questionable to me personally but still liked by the masses like the God of War games and Twisted Metal Black. Never played Killzone myself.
Oh wow, how did I forgot about Jak/Ratchet/Sly, yea just for that it's worth owning
>STILL could be arguably a better console just based on its first party offerings
Such as? The first party offer was very poor, the only notable ones were god of war, jak and ratchet, stop.
>and it STILL could be arguably a better console just based on its first party offerings
lol what? ps2 exclusives were mostly dogshit that you wouldnt even remember. the ps2 was good mainly because of third party games. Out of nintendo/xbox/playstation, the playstation always had the worst first party games with the least iconic franchises. fricking crash bandicoot used to be their flagship title. This was painfully evident when the ps3 tried making that sony equivalent to smash.
Had nice games. The collector's market for those games is absolutely fricked beyond belief and Nintendo is moronic for not putting them on virtual console
I'm glad I still have my games in good condition but from what I hear Dolphin is a pretty good emulator and can play most GC games without any issues
Yeah its pretty good. Cant get f-zero to run without chugging unfortunately
Dolphin is without a doubt the best emulator for a 3D console, especially for GCN games. The few games it does still have issues with are actively being looked into on a consistent basis.
I liked the gamecube I dont care if it flopped or not
>why do people covet it now??
because they liked it
what the frick kind of moronic Black person shit is zoomer youtube on about
it might have flopped but people still liked it back then
If the Gamecube was a flop then so was the N64
It's a combination of nostalgia and some of Nintendo's franchises being damaged by casualization. I do think now that Nintendo is becoming more core focused again that some of the glimmer of the Gamecube will begin to fade. Mario Party 7 doesn't seem as amazing when put next to Mario Party Superstars as it did when it was compared to Super Mario Party or Mario Party 10.
Gamecube failed because was too "japanese", cubic, handlebar, very small, sick purple color, two cute faces in the front.
Compare how popular was the ps2
>Gamecube failed because was too "japanese", cubic, handlebar, very small, sick purple color, two cute faces in the front.
No, it failed because the games fricking sucked. Despite the N64 being Nintendo's first dip into 3D leading to many issues in development, the gamecube failed to meaningfully improve on most of its software. And in fact, some series like Mario and Zelda actually got *worse* on the gamecube. Half the games were rushed and lacking content.
I'd say it failed because there was no reason to own one. By the time the GameCube came out, the PS2 was already a huge success with a ton of good games. And it was backwards compatible with PS1 games. And it could play DVDs, which was a pretty big deal at the time.
The PS2 was the console to own; the GameCube was the thing you maybe buy at the end of the generation to play the few good exclusives. And I say this as someone who bought a GameCube at launch and a PS2 only in 2005. I was a dumb kid.
>And it could play DVDs, which was a pretty big deal at the time.
I think more than anything, this was the real dealbreaker. It was cheaper than a lot of regular DVD players and worked perfectly, I knew normies that owned a ps2 solely to use it as a DVD player.
Gamecube had the same problems Wii U had. Third party titles were blatantly absent on the platform compared to Xbox or Playstation. Any third party ports it received were often WORSE than the Xbox/PS2 versions. The exceptions being Sonic Heroes because Sega was in bed with Nintendo after they just jumped ship from Dreamcast.
i love my cuboid
I just played games on it at the time, I don't know what everyone else got worked up about.
It only had Nintendo games and no third party games worth mentioning besides weebshit.
Gamecube had the worse PS2/Xbox ports too. Fricking SSX 3 was a disgrace on Gamecube while PS2 had online multiplayer.
it sucks
nostalgia is one hell of a thing
I was convinced I was a 400iq tech genius back in 6th grade when I made my game website.
I'm actually just moron.
that website is probably still around if the archive team found it
you were 90% of the way there toward genus though
nintendies who didn't have anything better and have rose tinted glasses nowadays
>13 minutes to say "people who grew up with it are nostalgic for it now"
Wow.
The gamecube as a console really isn't that good. Some games lagged horribly or even froze on it.
However, it's library is pretty great and it emulates perfectly. Playing melee online, the prime games, path of radiance, sunshine, etc.
>wii u - it sucks it's got no games
>wii u games re-released on switch - omg game of the decade yo
people is moronic
The handlebar is the most soulful gimmick a console ever had
People who say it sucked back then were fat hairy neckbeards who only ever played JRPGs like Dragon Quest Personas 3, 4 and SMT Nocturne and no other genre, which is ironic considering the strongest of the PS2 library were titles like DMC 3, the Ace Combat Trilogy, Armored Core 3
It had better versions of multiplat such as Viewtiful Joe and Tales of Symphonia
It had the best Resident Evil game in REMake, 4 being a timed exclusive back in the day was nice but not really required. I still bought the ps2 version for separate ways
Metroid Prime was a good series of games
Wind Waker was great, Twilight Princess was shit, and more interesting to play on the Wii. That disc proved to have further utility in hacking the wii anyway
Melee was one of the best party games out there, Mario Parties were ok but paled to the 64 ones
Animal Crossing GC was absolutely great, NES games on there was a nice novelty before I knew about emulation, albeit it was unneeded for those who did
while the JRPGs weren't as good overall you still had games like Skies of Arcadia, Baiten Kaitos, and the aforementioned Tales of Symphonia to help carry it
Id say overall, the PS2 was a better generalist system, but the Gamecube probably has one of my favorite libraries to date next to the SNES. Its a shame nobody who owned a PS2 actually talked about what was good on it other than Devil May Cry back in the day. I always hung out with people who didn't know any better, and while I was kind of broke and didnt have a ton of games on the PS2, the ones I did have my group didn't seem to talk about, such as Jak X Racing (fun as frick) Ratchet and Clank, Resident Evil Outbreak and Armored Core, always pissed me off. They typically played fricking Socom 3 (shit game but hat SOUL) or some shit like Xenosaga, which never clicked with me
>Twilight Princess was shit
opinion discarded, have a nice day and go back
>he liked bloom&brown zelda
I'd rather play gears of war than this shit
PS2 had this though. I actually got a PS2 later on JUST to play Resident Evil Online.
Yeah it's fricking moronic. I check prices for NES, SNES and N64 and besides a few outliers most prices are starting to go down or are reasonable relative to their value, but GameCube? Absolutely ridiculous. Average price range for games range from $70 to fricking $200. I grew up in '94 and I don't understand what rhe obsession is for this fricking console. If it's my generation doing this then it's fricking embarassing. I guess it doesn't help that Nintendo refuses to add them to VC or NSO, or re-release any of them besides Super Mario Sunshine. I feel like a majority of these people are hipster secondaries like Josh Thomas that treat the GCN like some sort of avant garde masterpiece or something. It's like Dreamcast hipsterism but way worse.
Dreamcast was good though, Sega fricking imploded because of issues between their western and eastern branches.
>want to collect some old PS1 PAL games
>all the intetesting games start at 30 and explode in price if theyre even halfway rare
>it would be cheaper to import a PAL game from America than to buy from someone within my own country in many cases
Retro game collecting is fricked, and it's definitely because of those same idiots who blew up trading card prices
Josh Thomas basically only has Mario games. He's never even played some of the best games on the system. Imagine being a GameCube fan and you've never played Resident Evil 4
That's less Gamecubegay and more 'terminal scrimblohomosexualry'
Fair. He likes the Wii almost as much and his tastes with that are even more Scrimbloish. Though honestly I think his love of the Wii is connected to the fact that he once had a successful channel based around it. Whose favorite Wii game is Wii Sports Resort for fricks sake?
>Whose favorite Wii game is Wii Sports Resort for fricks sake?
Someone's (grand)parents.
Through, yeah, the channel probably helped.
I mean, he didn't have an actual job until like a year ago. He ran the channel for ten years and made a shitload from it, his videos were constantly recommended and back in the day he got an enormous amount of views. Now he can't even pull in 3k. Guess that's what "closing" your channel and reopening it like three times will do
So, what eventually happened to all the Minecraft youtubers?
Most of those people just ran their course. Josh was still getting like 50-60k views before he decided to trash everything like four times because he was mad Nintendo wasn't giving him free shit anymore/all of his friends voted for Biden/there were too many anime games etc. But really Arlo just took everything he did and does it with less snark
>Nintendo wasn't giving him free shit anymore/all of his friends voted for Biden/
Oh yeah, he said something that made Nintendo drop him as a partner right?
>/there were too many anime games
The sad thing is, he could probably get a decent amount of view b***hing about anime games too.
Apparently he broke a review embargo by like two weeks because he was mad he didn't get a review copy of Splatoon fast enough. He also was super annoying to NoA, he once shared private contract details or something publicly so that didn't help, he actually was mentioned by those ex Treehouse people as doing that. He did apologize for that but he was at fault for most of this
>He could probably get a decent amount of views b***hing about anime games
People keep telling him he's only entertaining when he's mad/ranting but he doesn't care. He just talks about the same five or six things over and over again and wonders why people don't watch his videos. He needs to lean into the b***hing, as you say
>he doesn't know how to disable Youtube thumbnails
Ribbit
is aesthetic choice
literally
That is because the haters hate only new stuff so they forget it.
Same way that nostaliga gays love only old stuff but no new stuff.
It's a infinite cycle.
>Melee homosexualry and its tumorous existence on internet culture tricked people into thinking the gamecube didn't suck
>Mario 64 is almost entirely propped up in internet culture via speedrunning homosexuals and Mario blooper videos way back in 2005
>Counterstrike is a doodoo fart ass game with moronic gun mechanics and it's held up by le esports and muh virtual economy
We got anything else like that? Off the top of my head those are the first things to come to mind.
You forgot that the Gamecube emulation scene fricking exploded because of the Wii
>muh melee
God you gays are obsessed. Arebyou going to blame world hunger on melee too?
troony argument
I accept your
concession.
I am only one of those people and accusing people of being obsessed as an attempt to dismiss the conversation is itself a concession.
Go chop your pp off and have a suicidal breakdown elsewhere so people can talk about videogames.
nobody owned one. It was playstation and gameboy kind of time
the games r fun
The true redpill is that the Wii U is the best Nintendo console ever made.
>emulates almost all Nintendo libraries
>easy as hell to mod
>comfy games like XCX
>best pro controller ever made
>piracy is braindead easy
Putting the giant gamepad aside literally since most games don't require it I can safely say that in 5 years Wii U's are going to be coveted even more than GameCubes.
The only good thing about the Wii U was the ability to play NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, Wii, Wii U games if you hack it.
Such a shame that the Switch sacrificed its backwards compability. But I don't need it anymore because I emulate them on my PC now.
After playing so much on the n64 and Playstation... man when I got the gamecube, luigi's mansion, and melee for Christmas the graphics were friggin mind blowing
>this is it, we've finally arrived at perfect graphics
Not to mention how fricking well melee played and how much comfier the controller was
it was a bright and colorful console known for bright and colorful games like zelda and mario
so it looks a bit silly next to other consoles that are black and have sickdark mature games for mature gamers
bro some of the most popular games on the ps2 were like, frickin
Ratchet and Clank, Kingdom Hearts, and Jak and Daxter (but mostly the first one)
Why the frick, would Nintendo, make a modem, for the Nintendo Gamecube, when you can not even play any online games?
Because it's better than the Wii.
Basic nostalgia. See CRT gays.
One word. Pikmin
even the shittiest console from back then is better than whatever they're trying to pass off now
nintendo games have stayed about the same except their controllers are tiny trash for midgetlings now
the gamecube had some of the best games ever made, that's not just nostalgia - re4, metroid prime, eternal darkness, mario sunshine.
and the interesting thing is that these games still hold up today.
Absolutely nobody thought the Gamecube sucked in 2001 you history rewriting piece of shit. I can already see your early life section on wikipedia.
You're right, it took at least until 2003 for people to really start laughing at it
As someone who was old enough to buy a Gamecube when it came out, nobody laughed at any consoles back then because everyone was too busy having fun with the great games their system had.
Nah man, there were at least a few barbs back in the day like "lol of course the only RPG the GameCube has is Mario" or joking about how exclusives didn't stay exclusive
Anyone in my school when those consoles came out dogpiled anyone who had a GCN instead of an XBox. I was mocked even by the ostracized GCN owners because I had Super Monkey Ball.
Metroid Prime, MP2, Thousand year door and Mario kart double dash alone made it better than the Wii
it had some really good games
I liked the gamecube back then and I like it now
Frick you
I remember a guy arguing for months on the G4 forums that this was actually more powerful than the Xbox lol
the Xbox was fantastic, at the time it was better than desktop PCs, WORTH
>Gamecube
PS2 thrashed it in games & peripherals and the ps2 could run most ps1s. Gamecube was shit then and now.
because mario kart double dash is actually good as well as super smash bros melee there where quite a few good games for the game cube
