I thoroughly loved the Gamecube. Then again, I may be a bit biased because it was my first console system. But come on, it had great games. Wind Waker, Melee, Tales of Symphonia (yes I realize there was a JP PS2 port but my box still says 'only on gamecube', darn it!) Zoids: Battle Legends (but then again, I'm a Zoids nut) Baten Kaitos and Baten Kaitos: Origins.
I think the main problem with the GC though (and to an extent Nintendo in general) is that they've never had stellar 3rd party support. There's been gems amid the sea of mediocrity but Nintendo's systems mostly stand on Nintendo's games. And if you don't like Nintendo's games, you tend not to like their systems.

After my PS2 broke in 2004 the Gamecube was the only thing I played until the current gen stuff came out a few years after. Because of the relatively low price all of my friends had one too which resulted in many hours spent playing the likes of:
Smash Bros Melee
F-Zero GX
Metroid Prime
Double Dash
Kirby's Air Ride
Time Splitters 2
Wario Ware
Sonic Mega Collection
Sonic Gems Collection
Wind Waker
Smash Bros Melee
F-Zero GX
Metroid Prime
Double Dash
Kirby's Air Ride
Time Splitters 2
Wario Ware
Sonic Mega Collection
Sonic Gems Collection
Wind Waker
it was awesome!
I didn't hate the Gamecube per se. In fact, I never owned a PS2 or an Xbox during that particular console generation. The only thing I didn't like about it was that Melee was the only game worth owning with maybe Wind Waker or Paper Mario 2 to back it up.
Internet support it did have. It was only for like, one game (Phantasy Star Online?), and it was one of those retarded attachments you plug into the bottom of the system, I think.meatloaf231 said:
And Custom Robo was a great game. Pish tosh to the one who said GC didn't have great 3rd party support (but I get where you're coming from)
I loved my GameCube, in fact I still love it. The GameCube was one of my favorite systems of the last console generation.
I liked the metroid prime series, Zelda both windwaker and twilight princess need for spped most wanted andd beyond good and evil. It was a great system, just got bashed because it had no DVD capability and no online mutliplayer.
Personally I thought it was about as good as the N64. I liked MGS: The Twin Snakes, Smash Bros. Melee, and I really want to play Tales of Symphonia.
It was alright.
One game, "Super Smash Bros. Melee"

Aaaaaaand that's it. That's really the only game I had an insane amount of fun with.

It had my only source of playing Skies of Arcadia again since my dreamcast was gone. So yes, I loved the gamecube, plus I played all the other typical mario, zelda and kirby games on it. Good thing the Wii is backwards compatible.. but I bet the new console won't be, like the new DS consoles took away support for GBA games.
