No Rare games aside from that abomination of a Dinosaur Planet knockoff Nintendo forced laxatives into their gobs to shit out.

Gamecube was more powerful than ps2

It was pretty bad. Lackluster games, the minidisc format, the awful directional pad, etc. It's not surprising it didn't sell all too well.

The GC was their worst home console. Oh yay, Mario Sunshine instead of Mario 64, Wind Waker instead of Ocarina of Time.. yawn.

At the time, I mostly quit video games once the Dreamcast died off, but since I was never really into portables the Gamecube was the great inexpensive way for me to play all the portable Nintendo games I missed out on. At the time, it was great to get a lot of GBA games for $5USD (granted mostly without manual/box) to tide me over. I remember having lots of fun playing the minigames of the Super Monkey Ball with friends, trying to outdo one another. The appreciation for the system seems to be a lot greater now, but it was still great in its day. It almost feels like the last and only time Nintendo tried to be in on the high-end high-fidelity kinds of video games but maintaining a very affordable price.

Is there any MC exploit yet?
I don't want to solder anything to my GC

i was an xbox only until a christmas morning when i got blinx timesweeper 2, and a whole ass gamecube and a stack of games for it. jesus christ an avalanche of good games on that thing, playedthe shit out of it. still want a blinx 3.

last nintendo product i ever bought. re4 and metroid prime were great, well worth the $100 or $150 i paid for the console (dont remember which).

I remember the prices later on were $100 for a GameCube or $100 for a GBA. I thought anyone who bought a GBA at that point was crazy for not picking the GameCube.

I chose it over the others at the time and did not like it. I spent most of that Gen envying my friends until I got their consoles. It was an okay console but you were a hit of an outsider here if you had a gamecube. My only flex was that I had a decent PC but that had much less clout back then. People didn't know.

It didn't have enough games and the games it did have were not what anyone asked for and no one knew to get excited for any of it. Now everyone knows how good the games were.

>>9841345
games looked dull and flat, games weren't very good, controller was AIDS, not really a good console in any way.

>>9841345
It's pretty cool.

The GameCube struggled A LOT with particles, lighting, and postprocessing effects compared the PS2 and xBox, the myth that it was "more powerful" simply does not hold to basic scrutiny.

gamecube could do more polygons
in practice this didn't really mean much because the games looked flat and boring

Black for the PS2 and xBox

Indeed, it was particles, lighting, and postprocessing that made games of that era stand out, arenas in which the PS2 and xBox could excel, but the GameCube just could not keep up.

>>9843387
It does when the examples on the contrary are all horrendously ugly games like Black.

>here's your RPG, bro.
>we ported the first two dungeons, that'll be $89.99 plus tip.
>did we mention our console is wayyy more powerful than PS2?

>>9841345
>What are your thoughts on the Nintendo GameCube?
Never liked the console. Still don't. Especially the weird controller.
>Graphics were unquestionably better on the gamecube, with games like RE4 and Metroid Prime wiping the floor with anything the ps2 shat out.
0/5 troll please try again with a little more subtlety

I like the black and orange.
I had to get rid of a bunch of stuff in a move, plus needed money, so I sold my GC to a neighbor. I had a Wii anyway so I figured I didn't need it.
And I guess I don't. But it was a well made console. The Wii feels overly dense or something.

'Cube graphics were so far ahead of the competition. Little known hidden gem here, worth every penny - would be IMPOSSIBLE on Xbox or PS2.

>>9844519
Since when have "hidden gems" been technically impressive?

>>9841345
Kingdom hearts, sly cooper, Shadow of the Colossus, GTA, do I really need to go on, FF_, god of war, bully, DMC

>>9844618
when haven't they been?

>>9841345
I just got a gamecube and I'm buying a bunch of games for it since I grew up with xbox. There is nothing on the gamecube that looks better than xbox so I don't understand the powerful meme.

>>9844618
They've always been.

>>9844673
i think early footage of Resident Evil REmake and 3.5 and Luigi's mansion and their clever use of lighting gave people the false impression that something special was going on that wasn't on Xbox.
you know what they say about first impressions.

aside fom picture quality all 3 look the same in assets and effects the capture method may be a bigger factor than the machines themselves...

I was born in 94, but my brothers had a NES, SNES, Megadrive, PS1 and N64, so I kind of grew up with all that. But the gamecube was my first console that was actually mine. So I've got some nostalgia just for that.

But trying to be a little bit more objective, it's third party support was terrible, and the library in general is quite limited. However, the good games that are there are some of the best games ever made. The controller is my personal favourite controller ever. Its so fucking comfy. I wouldn't want to play any game that was a GC game with it. But it was so ergonomic and I like the unique button layout.

Overall, I like it a lot. There may only be about 20-30 exclusives worth checking out, but damn they're good exclusives.

It's just a counter meme to this one faggot who keeps posting the same Burnout 3 meme claiming PS2 is more powerful than GCN.

>>9841345
last soul console by nintendo until 2017

>>9841345
It's only remembered by being one of the jobbers that got obliterated by the greatest console of all time. God damn I love the PS2.
