About to install Nintendon't on my Wii for the sole purpose of playing Gamecube games. Feels nice not having to pay 100 dollars for Pokemon Coliseum

Good move, anon. Wii is a great system for modding and homebrew and it's still cheap.

I've got a working Wii (and Gamecube) sitting in my closet but for some reason I have no urge to dive into the cube's library. Once I turned 12 I completely lost interest in the system, at least the games I had for it. Never been a big nintendo guy.
To be fair I don't know what I'm missing out on since a game like RE4 wouldn't have appealed to me back then. And I'm on a 4th/5th gen binge lately with some Dreamcast sprinkled in.

So why is Jason Alexander playing Metroid Prime? I’ve always wondered the context of that image.

If you aren't the biggest Nintendo guy, I'm not really sure if it's worth digging into the GC just for that. Luv me the Metroid Prime series, and I have a soft spot in my heart for Wind Waker and Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles. But the GC library is more of a bonus on top of playing damn near every 4th gen console via Wii homebrew on a CRT.

Those would have been the peak years for the Seinfeld curse, maybe it was the only check he could get.

jerry seinfeld made at least like 500 million from that shit. I'm sure jason alexander must've made some 50 million, he didn't need the check.

did you have to pay some gay license to install emulators on it? i have a series x but I've been pretty lazy to look up how it goes

Yeah. Syndication rights for reruns were expensive so it stayed on in prime-time for a solid decade after it went off the air. They started releasing season box sets on DVD around 2003/04 and it was very popular.

Nah, you can do it on retail mode, just use the edge browser of the console and go to https://gamr13.github.io/

Pokemon and the gamecube are both trash and a waste of time. There are many better games and systems out there, keep looking.
