How do you feel about gamecube?

[Oculin]

Many people say it was a bad console D: i thought it was amazing, but i tend to like things that are underrated...Gamecube is my favorite console. I like it alot more then my wii, software library wise, but i guess i cant really say anything about that, Considering i have like 55 GCN games and only 26 wiigames or something.

Does Gamecube hold a special place for you at all? or is it just a time past where nintendo wasnt on top, or even 2nd place?

[Facepalm]

I agree. I think it will go down as one of the most underrated of all time. I look at my list of favourite games and an extraordinary amount are on the Cube. It could have been better, but every console could have been better.
I feel sad everytime I look at my Gamecube because it is largely unappreciated. But then I think "Hey, there is a Gamecube inside every Wii being bought." So I think it got its deserved audience after all, if only in spirit.

I'm insane, I know.

lol ( o.o)/*pat* its okay lol being insnae can be good? D: I think im more insane, i think my Gamecube smells the best out of all of the consoles i own lol It just has smell that says "Gamecube". Ive found that most people who arent really into video games but just own consoles dont even know the wii plays gamecube games. D: i wonder what they think the slots on top of thier system are for...

Eh. It could have been worse. I didn't like my GC nearly as much as my N64 but I did have a lot of fun with Wind Waker, Melee, the Metroid Primes and Rogue Squadrons.

I love the Gamecube! I feel in love with from the first time I saw it (such a cute design XD).
I don't have a lot of games for it, but the ones I do have have gotten a *lot* of playtime.

[Clowns8me]

1.Metroid Prime 3
2.Ocarina of Time
3.Metroid Prime
4.Wind Waker
5.Resident Evil 4

Well, 3 of my 5 favorite games are on the Gamecube, so yeah, it is my favorite console so far.

You should pick up some games some times~! thier really cheap, some really good ones can be 10$-30$ on amazon.

A classic. Full of classic games that barely anyone played. We can be proud that we played some of the best games ever conceived by man while others mindlessly drove around running over people in GTA thinking how "mature" the game was and how "hardcore" they were to play it.

I love it and even though I have a Wii, I won't sell it. Ever.

Well GTA is mature lol. Im not going to diss the PS2, ill be honest with you, if your the normal gamer last generation and only could have one system id point your way to the PS2. As many good games as there were for the Gamecube alot of mutliplatform games were gimped on it. The exclusives is what made the gamecube good.I have so many PS2 games i still need to get....

[alisdaa12321]

Well I am one of the very few people who didn't/doesn't have a PS2. And frankly, I don't really care. GAMECUBE FTW

lol, i only had the gamecube til about 2 or 3 years before the wii came out, so for the most part i usually was like "Gamecube for the win!" i usually just use the PS2 for RPGs and such since the gamecube didnt have that many.

same here why would I sell it. its my friend. I still remember Super Monkey Ball 2 and Melee and Luigi's mansion and stuff. I (seriously) think I just cried.

I owned the PS2. I won't diss it. I'm dissing GTA. It's probably the series I hate the most. And GTA is not mature at all. It's the most childish crap I've ever seen.

Even though I sold my PS2 to fund for a Wii I still own the best two games that came out for it - Shadow of the Colossus and FFX.

[alisdaa12321]

I do enjoy GTA (although some things in the game make me think, wtf), but I loathe that really hardcore game, what was it, oh yeah Halo 3. It is possibly the crappiest "hyped" I've ever seen.

Final Fantasy X is on my list still of games to buy (im not a fan of tidus..or yuna...) lol. I see where your coming from when talking about it being immature but its mature in the sense that no one should buy it whos under the age of 17. I never really was drawn to the GTA series so i never ended up purchasing one of the titles.

I thought Halo 2 was. I really didnt like Halo 2 at all, i felt the aiming was really wonky in it too. Halo 3 i didnt play much but in my opinion it was alot better then 2 from waht i saw.

The system was not bad for me. My Super Mario Sunshine game suddenly stopped working a couple of years ago so I stopped playing the system not to mention it is packed away somewhere in a box as i moved in the fall. let's just say i'm lazy and do not have any Nintendo systems hooked up, only PS2 (just because it can play DVDs)

GTA is a pretty technically sound series. Vice City is one of my all-time favourite games because it has the richest atmosphere of any game I've ever played. The series is violent and crude, sure. But there is a good game underneath it if you get past your prejudices.

Also, as a Nintendo fan, I think I sometimes take the big N's expertise for granted. The PS2 has very few games that hold a flame to the innovation, fun, polish and attention to detail as Nintendo. Of course there are exceptions, but most of the top PS2 games just aren't fun to play for me because I've been so spoiled by better games.

I absolutely love the Gamecube, the fact that my Cubes disk scanner barely functions is testament to that.

It just did so many things right, and deserved much better treatment from the ignorant third parties trying to squeeze it out. It was the cheapest console by far on release, was incredibly durable (so nobody had to buy two) and the only one built with no agenda but gaming in mind. The launch games were far and away the best of the bunch and still worth playing now, Rogue Squadron 2 still blows (all) PS2/ (most) XBox and unfortunately most Wii games out the water on a purely technical level.

The Cube was arguably the most powerful, with far superior architecture and less bottlenecks than the old Xbox and easier to program for, and had a brilliantly comfortable controller with some level of ergonomics behind it...

The first party stuff was standout as always. The local multiplayer experience was easily the best (with 4 ports as standard...); and the Gamecube played host to many of the best third party games (even if overall the support was terrible), the POP games for example were horribly glitchy on other systems, and the Cube controller just handled platformers better in my opinion. Even though it came in third place, it stuck it out till the end.

So glad the Wii is caning everyone, tis glorious Gamecube architecture back from the dead .

My gamecube can no longer read discs anymore, its sad but i have a 2nd one laying around. I really like the gamecube controller but i had many people think it was horrible, i think they were all just too used to the PS2 controller. Its sad that we see better looking gamecube games then Wii games :<

What a fantastic first post. I agree with everything, including the amazing technical feat of Rogue Squadron 2.

Thanks. A terribly underrated machine.

My Cube can still read disks, but is generally very fussy about it (especially less than pristine preowned games...). I suppose it is to be expected after 6 years of literally non-stop gaming .

I have never been a fan of the Dual Shock, and I have been exposed to it since the PS1 days. The sticks are just completely devoid of tension and in the wrong place in my opinion.

The Wii will get their eventually, The Conduit alone proves that the Wii can use exactly the same level of technology (it does more than the COD4 engine does) that you would on other consoles.

I remember falling completely in love with it after a friend who worked with my mum let me play it in a shop. It was a purple cube. I mean, going off the 'it's cool to be different' policy, it was awesome. Sadly the novelty eventually wore off and I kinda thought the PS2 had more good games on it.

Having said that though I have very fond memories of the Cube. Despite missing; Pikmin 1 & 2, Metroid Prime 1 & 2, WindWaker, Resident Evil 4, Tales of Symphonia and Killer7, I still has some awesome times.

All in all, it wasn't a bad system.

Oh wow, thats alot that you missed D: I really hope you get the chance to play them!

I still feel pretty good about it. When people complain of online I realized for me that most of the online games I enjoyed are still PC exclusive. All it takes is one or maybe two online games that can last me over a generation to make me happy. I won't get specific on that since it would be better on another thread. Another complaint I had was the lack of RPGs. I thought PS2 and PC did a better job of two types of RPGs, eastern and western. Other than those two problems I enjoyed more games on it than the other two consoles combined.

Yeah there was a lack of RPGs, just in case you haven't i highly recommend trying Baten Kaitos Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean, it was a great title, but the battle system was a bit complicated.

Yeah when it comes to online games... eeh for me, maybe its because I was such a big gamecube fan butIi never cared that much for online in a game, i think its defintly a great thing to have, but I'd rather it be something to enhance the game, rather then be the focus of the game. Usually I'd play a few online focused game, but outside of some MMO's most of the games i purchase are for the single player exprience.
