I'm going to go out on a limb and say that I loved GameCube. I'd probably rank it about the same as SNES in terms of Nintendo consoles.

I loved the controller, once I got used to the diamond-like button configuration. The analog stick placement is perfect, and it conforms to your hand better than any controller ever made. The only issue was the ridiculously tiny dpad and awkward Z button. It was amazing for 3D adventures, which were the system's strongest suit.

The system itself looks like a Saturn or Dreamcast. Well, taller and with a handle. But look at the button placement and controller ports of the Dreamcast console and tell me it isn't really similar to the GameCube. The GameCube's handle must really stand out, because people remember Dreamcast as one of the best systems ever. People do conveniently forget that Gamecube came in more colors than purple.

It still had great games like Metroid Prime, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, Star Wars: Rogue Squadron 2, and Tales of Symphonia. It sure lacked in quantity, but made up for in quality.

Just my two cents though. By the way, check this out if you think purple is bad. That is an official color.
