I loved the Gamecube, it was Nintendo's last truly legit console. I'm not gonna bash the Wii but it just wasn't what I thought it should've been. Now, granted the Gamecube was no 64 or SNES...it boasted its own unique set of games, ones that I really enjoyed, like Mario Super Strikers, Luigi's Mansion, Metroid Prime and Echoes, Zelda: Wind Waker and Twilight Princess was much better on the Gamecube. It also boasted the exclusive Resident Evil deal with CAPCOM where it got: Resident Evil Zero, Resident Evil 1:Remake, and Resident Evil 4, all of them great games and great additions to my favourite series. Then it also had the multiplatform games and it did them just as well as the PS2 or Xbox.
It had its flaws no doubt, but so did all the consoles, I'd have to rate this my #2 console of the last gen...making it below my PS2 but above my XBox.
