Who here liked the Gamecube?

[Geamo]

The gamecube was wonderful. I still use mine to this day.

 

[Rotating Bread]

I loved the Gamecube. It had a host of great first party games, including Metroid Prime which i still think is one of the best games ever made. Such a shame it's 3rd party support was so poor.

Even the promise of their excellent first party games couldn't prevent me from deserting Nintendo for the 360 after the Wii's release though.

IMO the GC was a step down for nintendo from previous generations, but I still think it held up against the cometition. I myself had a PS2, and I often found myself at friends playing someone else's GC rather than inviting them home for PS2

I actually had alot of fun with my GC.

SSBM, Luigi's Mansion, MGS: Twin Snakes, Eternal Darkness, Mario Kart, Mario Sunshine and alot more good games. I still play once in a while.

 

[Magnalian]

Ok so I notice that more than a lot of people I know bash the Gamecube. The biggest reason for this being that it had no good games. To this I call shinanigans. I freaking loved Smash Bros., Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door, and Wind Waker. I even liked Mario Sunshine and that Starfox game with the dinosaurs. Don't ask me why I liked them but I did. So I wanna know, did anyone like something from the Gamecube?

Pretty much evry game you said, except paper mario. Not that I didn't like it, I just never played it.

 

[gamefreakbsp]

Gamecube was fantastic. So much fun it was unreal. I probably spent literally well over a year of my life playing games on that system.

 

[Emo-Hawk]

I loved the Cube, the games ruled and the controller was so comfortable.

 

[Speedwagon]

People bash on the GameCube because it lacked many third party games. Most of the games I see people liked were developed/published by Nintendo(first party company). The PS2 on the other hand had a much bigger software base of third party games not directly made by Sony.

But, I still like the GameCube.

 

[Rickyvantof]

I did and I still do.
Mostly because of Mario Kart, Zelda Windwaker, SSBM and RE4.

Edit: And of couse, the Metroid Primes!

 

[Mr.France]

I loved my Gamecube. Games like Double Dash, The Wind Waker, Spider-man 2 (I'm a Spider-man fanboy so I like pratically any game with him, but this one was particularly awesome) and the first Tales Of Symphonia are some of my favourite games. Now however I'm more into my PS3 for obvious reasons, but Gamecube is great.

 

[AzrealMaximillion]

There so few games on it that weren't sequels to N64 classics. Gotcha Force, Pikmin, and Animal Crossing are examples. Mario Sunshine was mediocre, and really, the Gamecude introduced Mario Milking with Mario Soccer, and 4 Mario Partys. There's a reason the console had to struggle to sell more than the Original Xbox.

 

[William Dickbringer]

let's see...
animal crossing, mario kart double dash, super smash bros melee, luigi's mansion, super mario sunshine, legend of zelda windwaker,and pikmen

wow alot more games I played than I thought

 

[Shining_Pyrelight]

I loved my Gamecube. I was actually oblivious to all the hate it recieved for a long while. I still have it, though it never gets used thanks to my Wii.
It was one of my first systems actually and had some of my favorite games;
Pikmin, Tales of Symphonia, Resident Evil remakes, Super Mario Sunshine, Fire Emblem, Baten Kaitos, Eternal Darkness, Chibi Robo, Super Smash Bros Melee, LoZ Wind Waker, Star Fox games, and various others.

 

[lazinesslord]

Man I love my gamecube. Almost as much as I love my snes.
So many great games like legend of zelda wind waker, super smash bros melee, final fantasy crystal chronicles, and etc. I don't get why someone would hate it.

 

[astrav1]

The few good games that there were on it I loved.

 

[emeraldrafael]

I loved it. I still play it from time to time. I like its controller better then the wii's and i play my gamecube games more then my sister plays her wii games (she's 11, if thats any indication), on the wii.

The game cube was just awesome, and so easily transportable. And you got games like LoZ: Windwaker (still a guilty pleasure, i could sail for hours on the ocean), Battalion Wars, Custom Robo, Metroid Prime, SSBM, Paper Mario.

It was just an awesome console.

Oh, and you got Soul Calibur II with Link, probably the most broken character (besides Starkiller in SCIV) with his ring out of death throw move.

 

[General BrEeZy]

I loved my Metroid Prime games to pieces as well as smash bros and zelda!! the party games like smash bros and mario kart and stuff are what make nintendo great in general. theyre not halo and call of duty and that kinda xbox stuff, but xbox stuff isn't nintendo great...they all have their truly great games, and no one is superior in every way...

i F**KING MISS MY METROID PRIME GAMES!!!!!!!!!! I WANT THEM BACK NOW!!
theyre scratched beyond disrepair. so too bad. >X(

 

[Cowabungaa]

I love it to death, and I barely have any games for it, go figure! It's so underrated, I really have to expand my game library some day.

Don't forget the brilliant remake of Resident Evil! For a console that people kept calling childish, it sure had some good horror games...

My sentiments exactly, and not just horror games either, but plenty of good mature titles. Metroid Prime isn't exactly kiddy either.

1. The third party support for it was pitiful at best - as you stated, most of the best titles were first party

I beg to differ really, I found a load of awesome third party titles. Metacritic alone lists 127 titles with an 80 or higher, the vast majority of them not first party titles. Hell the 2 best ranked titles aren't even from Nintendo, Metroid Prime and Resident Evil 4.

Then there's Starfox Adventures (no old Starfox fanboys, shush, down), Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem Shame, Viewtful Joe, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time and I could keep going like that for a while. Thanks to it being a traditional console it had lots of good multi-platform games, unlike the Wii for example.

Shame I barely had the cash to actually buy any them back then...*sigh*

I love the gamecube, I still have mine and even bought another one in case it broke

It's a Nintendo product, prepare to wait a couple of decades before it dies.
