the sega saturn and dreamcast topic got me thinking. i have a GAMECUBE because
A) it has the most original games (animal crossing anyone?)
B) the controls are perfect
C) its so small that it even has a handle to carry it around
D) it can continue all the brilliant Nintendo franchises e.g. Metroid, Mario
some people say "its too kiddy" but which console is getting the gritty FULL 3D resident evil 4? or the darktoned people-possesing Geist (check it out if u dont already know of it)? Nintendo Gamecube thats who.
now its ur turn
Game Cubes are pretty cool. The controls are the best I ever held and it has awesome games, but it can't play DVD. That's the only let down. But I still love the mini dics, they're cool!
I had a Gamecube till I sold it, The controls are to small, If you sweat alittle your hands skid all over the place, most of the games suck (Yep, practically all 4 of them or so), And XBox in comparison makes Nintendo look like poo.
wat does xbox have that Gamecube doesnt. besides the "hard drive". cmon just get a computer there heaps better. and about the dvd u can get one its called a PanaCube made by Panasonic and it is heaps cool. the only good game on xbox is Halo and now thats on pc. 99% of good games on ps2 or xbox are also on something else.
I don't see PS2's WWE Smackdown on any other consoles (though maybe that's mainly because I don't look).
Personally, I'm not really for the Gamecube. There's not enough multiplayer games and besides short loading time, multiplaying is the only advantage consoles have over computers.
The XBox is just a fad. All the games are shiny and made mainly for money, instead of fun. It's just an obsolete PC with joysticks instead of a keyboard and mouse. And maybe a bigger monitor and better speakers.

I have a PS2, I chose it because of the huge range of games and also some of the best games I've played where on only avalible on it. The DVD player was also one of the reasons I brought it.
Try a 733 mHz CPU, 233 mHz graphics chip, 8 GB hard drive (who needs a memory card?), the ability to play DVDs, the ability to copy your CDs onto your hard drive to listen to at any time, a quality filter on its games, and the best games ever (Magic: The Gathering Battlegrounds, for example). I still love my Cube though.
I've got:
Xbox (7 games - Including M:TGB, D&D Heroes, Halo, Hitman 2)
GameCube (2 games - Super Smash Brothers Melee & Viewtiful Joe [Yay!])
Nintendo 64 (9 games - Including Super Smash Brothers, Z: OOT, Z:MM, Mario Kart 64)
Super Nintendo (60+ games - Including Battletoads, Super Metroid, Killer Instinct, MK3, Z:ALTTP)
NES (20+ games - Including Double Dragon II)
I have them because they were all the best of their time, and I keep managing to score them really cheap
No Genesis? The Genesis had better games than the SNES on average.

well yeah the xbox has better specs BUT does that really matter. for example if ur gonna want to take your game data to a friends house your gonna need to have a memory card or you can carry the huge beast of a machine in your pocket . . . im saying that the GC has the best and most orignal games, regardless of its "power"
You know, looking at those specs for the X-Box, I realised that the PC I 'salvaged' from... a group that didn't want them is more advanced. And I 'salvaged' that PC 3 years ago. There's no quality filter, but filters suck anyway.
And I'm not sure, but I there's a GC emulator for the PC. So, there... my crappy PC has all I need, cept extra controllers and surround sound .

GameCube
Nintendo64
Playstation
SNES
NES
(and ill have an Xbox soon)

yeh X-box may have better specs but i mean who really gives a crap,
i mean the games make the console good not the hardware.
Gamecube have some of the greatest games of all time reborned on it. Zelda, Mario, Metroid e.t.c
The controllers fit perfectly into your hand, i mean your fingers just wrap around the L and R buttons, and every button is easy to reach.
