I like the gamecube but it was set firmly as the right hand man of my PS2, just like the Wii has been my 360's wing man. Both are good consoles but not strong enough to be main console of choice.

I can't really see how it can be better than the wii. The wii can do everything the gamecube can, it can play GC games with GC controllers. On top of that it can play wii games, and old stuff which you can DL.
So what excactly makes the GC better than the wii? If someone answers that the Wii has been defiled cause of all the lame games on it i'm gonna facepalm, cause that doesn't make the good games (or GC games) worse.

It was the first console I ever owned, a borrowed N64 aside, and I'd be lying if I said that I didn't love the damn thing to death. There's a reason my Gamecube game library has more games than my Wii and 360 collections combined.

I like my gamecube. Hell, I liked Sunshine!

You forgot the most awesome and most underrated exclusive to the gamecube, Animal Crossing.

hello i just recently joined and happened to see this forum about game cubes. personally game cubes are okay i still got mine even thro i play it now and then (and besides the funny fact ive got a wii,dsi and that). i cant see why people could hate the cubes! they are pretty good lil cuby thingos so why does anyone hate them? i reckon the graphics on some of the games are okay- but some games are pretty crappy. only shame games like pokemon XD gale of darkness is very rare and extermly pricey at online shops like ebay and that crap.

I have also played those games and are a big fan of the GameCube, It took me a while to get used to the controls but I personally think that the time to learn them are worth it. And also, welcome to the escapist CrystaltheEchidna, will be looking forward to your opinions.

No matter what you are talking about, there is always someone who hates it. Best to ignore it and move on. It's not like it affects you anyway.

Sense! This comment makes lots!

I don't know about here, but I've read/heard in a lot of other places that the Gamecube was one of the worst systems ever. I recently started playing my Gamecube again, and I personally think it's better than the Wii and PS2. So why do people think it is horrible?

Fanboyism and/or lack of experience with it.

All the people I know who actually owned a cube loved it to bits (much like the N64 actually), including me. The problem is it was purple and not enough people bought. The purple led idiots to brand it 'ghey' (I admit I was guilty of this, I christened it Tinkerbell's suitcase) and not enough are around for everyone to have played it.

My guess as to it's being the 'worst' was people just seeing that it didn't sell well enough and assuming. They've obviously never encountered a Saturn, or a 3DO. People who brand it worst or even bad have obviously never used one for any length of time, it's a fantastic little brick.

Gamecube was fantastic. Arguably the best system nintendo has ever released. That lil box may have looked dumb and come in pink purple and yellow, but most of it's games flair and charm still have yet to be matched by anything the Wii has done. It's host to some of the best nintendo titles of all time, and offered something for everyone. Also a great lil party system, best controllers nintendo has ever had, just an all and all great console. I know it's the systme that everyones lil cousin or firends younger brother had, and for the leet hardcore fans that wouldn't give it a chance then well....your loss.

I like my gamecube. Hell, I liked Sunshine!

So did I, as well as most every other game I bought (even Phantasy Star Ep. III(the card one)).

That lil box may have looked dumb and come in pink purple and yellow, but most of it's games flair and charm still have yet to be matched by anything the Wii has done.

I never saw those colors. The only ones I can recall were blue, black, and silver.

Everything is hated by someone, the Gamecube is no exception. That said, I loved my Gamecube, heck I still love it. It really has an amazing catalogue of games. As for it being a silly, purple box: I bought a black one, still looks quite nice in my room. I like the fact that all my hardware (my whole PC, laptops, consoles, TV, even my MP3 player) is black (with the odd silver/grey accent), except for the dirty white 360 that is. It's like a smudge in my room, that said I do love the console itself.

In any case, the Gamecube still has a more varied and (I think) overal better catalogue of 'traditional' (I refuse to use the word 'hardcore') titles than the Wii while still offering a healthy dosage of fun party games. Give me a Gamecube over a Wii any day of the week (it helps that I bought Zelda Twilight Princess for the Gamecube, but I do miss Metroid 3).

Better than the former, not as good as the latter.

Of this past gen of Dreamcast, Gamecube, PS2 and XBox; the XBox was the worst console for me. Why? it only had 2 exclusives that were worth it: Halo, Kung Fu CHAOS. If XBox didn't have Halo, it would be dead right now.

Dreamcast might have been a failed system, but Sega is a great game developer, and they were working in house. Dreamcast's list of exclusives was pretty good. (I did not have a DC, but my friend did)

Sony got it right by being a cheap DVD player that can also play video games. Not to mention Sony's game development team (Jax, Ratchet, God of War, Shadow of the Colossus just to name a few)

Nintendo practically said that the Gamecube is not a home entertainment system, and they didn't try to be an entertainment system. They made a video game system. People said that the Gamecube was a children's video game console, and that was because the console didn't focus on sports and FPS. The console didn't focus on the gore factor. What people don't realize is that Nintendo never focused on that. They wanted to be family friendly (Mortal Kombat anyone? no blood?)
They made quality games in house, but pretty much all developers wanted to make games with blood, sex and violence (truly a sad era in video game history).

Xbox wanted to make a console with as much blood, sex and violence as possible. They were not a kid's toy, and they were asking developers of blood sex violence games to come and make games. (DoAXBV was one of the Xbox's top selling games). All other consoles could sell and make games that didn't focus of blood sex and violence. Were the games bad? no. Were the graphics bad? no. Was it the best console? no, but all of the Halo fans will disagree.

They say the Gamecube sucked because it didn't have Halo, and to be honest the Xbox would have failed if it didn't have Halo.

a good console is measured by the number of quality exclusive games it has, and Xbox only had 5. (Halo, Dead or Alive, Kung Fu Chaos, Ninja Gaiden, Halo 2)

Yea man mine was purple, and they did a pokemon edition that was pickachu yellow, and pink now that u mention it i may have been thinking of the DS.

Yeah back in the day when it was out everyone hated it. Now its all retro and cool and people can play the games on the Wii its suddenly cool.

Same goes with dreamcast, everyone will go on about how awesome it is/was. But back in the day it got a lot of flack and was rather poor compared the competition (ie. big bulky controller and no DVD).

Welcome to the Escapist.

OT: I don't really think it was all that bad, it had a few memorable games on it like Pikmin I think and those were great fun, I don't really judge the quality of system. I judge the games because it's only fair that even if it was as bad as a Virtual Boy, you can still give the games a fair judgement.
So yeah I didn't think it was all that bad, I only ever played it briefly though so I can't make too much of a comment on it.
