    This is funny cause I actualy dont even own a gamecube but still enjoy the hell out of my GC games on my Wii. I like the few shooters that came out for it, but the RPGs were definitly a big thing with me for it. More tales games are never a bad thing and with how Nintendo finaly released one of their Japanese flagship RPG series (Fire Emblem) on a home console in the domestic market, it had lots of great games. I still dont love the N64 though I want a few more games for it.

    The fact that Gamecube happened to receive a bunch of PS2 ports shouldn't be an issue. Let's say the opportunity arises for a third party to port a game over to the Cube that previously came out on PS2. Should Nintendo just reject it and say "Nope, don't want it. It already came out on PS2."? That's not a very smart business strategy.

    Or would it have been better to stop all of those PS2 games from being ported and completely drop all of those titles from the Gamecube library? Whether or not some of that stuff already came out on another system, the Gamecube library is "better" for having that stuff in there than it is without it altogether.

    It is hard for people with a ton of disposable income to understand but some people only have one "current" system. I have the PS2, XBox and Cube myself but not everybody out there has all three systems. Most of the people here do but this particular forum is a very small percentage of the gaming population. I don't necessarily buy every new game on the release date, haven't done so since Twilight Princess (GC). So by the time I get around to buying certain games that debuted on PS2 first, they might have already been ported to a different system and I personally will choose an XBox or GC version of most any game to the PS2 copy.

    Those ports aren't system sellers. I'm sure that is the point some of you are making. However, I am sure that Nintendo isn't bitching about the software sales for some of those games that did all right on the Gamecube. They'll take the extra money that is coming in.

    Sure the system was disappointing. But it was still better than the N64 game wise.

    People complained that the Nintendo 64 had a lack of third-party support. Now, people are complaining that the Game Cube had too much third-party support.

    The Gamecube has some decent games for it but the kids get more use out of it than anybody. It just sits in the family room until they decide to play something.

    Oh, why is it that people have to find something to poke fun of (do something a little more creative). So the Gamecube wasn't #1! I could care less. I still like the system, and no one can change my mind on that.

    The Gamecube did NOT suck.

    If someone didn't like Super Mario Sunshine it's because they're a moron, not because Sunshine was a bad game. Ditto with Wind Waker. Both were absolutely brilliant pieces of videogame design.

    I play my GCN constantly, and I'll likely still play GCN software constantly once I get my mitts on a Wii.

    I never planned on getting a GameCube... was planning on sticking to PS2 only for last gen (besides handhelds).

    My girlfriend picked one up for me during a Wal-Mart special, becasue it "looked cute", and man I'm glad she did... I'd have missed all that gen's Nintendo property games, and great games like Tales of Symphonia and Baten Kaitos.

    I can agree that it's life was disappointing, but I can't really point to any one reason as to why...

    I'm glad the Wii in BC, and all.. but I kinda miss playing GCN games of the 'cube

    Yeah Xizer, the Mods have been taking out the trash as of late. Just a word of advice, you might want to take it easy for a while.

    The Gamecube was not disappointing for me, and it is still interesting. It was the first console I bought from this generation, and I never regretted it. From the 3 it was the most solid, it rarely broke, if you compare if to the XBox or PS2.

    And the games were / are good : Wind Waker, Metroid Prime 1/2, Ikaruga, Super Monkey Ball, Paper Mario, Tales of Symphonia, Pikmin 1/2, Cubivore, Resident Evil 4, Skies of Arcadia. Even if there are some remakes, they are on the Gamecube, and they are good games. Why should I be disapointed with these games ???

    Longue vie au Gamecube !

    But I must say that I never found a console that really disappoint me. They all have good and bad points. For me, the console is nothing, what is important are the games themselves. And there is a long list of good games on the Gamecube, so I am happy with it.

    Well...

    My Gamecube library, due to ebay attrition, has dwindled down to only two games (skies of arcadia & metroid prime). Hence why the console disappeared out of my room.

    N64 I still have around 20 carts... 10 that I play regularly.

    So a simple count reveals which console I like best.
