GameCube was the first console in the house that was actually MINE and not my sibling's, and so it will forever be the best to me, especially with games like:
And others I'm surely forgetting
The Metroid Prime games were incredible. Also shout-out to Chibi Robo, I loved that game.
I'm sorry but when I hear Nintendo gamers talk about all their games it's like "I play a lot of different games like: ‑ Mario ‑ Mario ‑ Mario with a green hat ‑ Mario with boxing gloves ‑ Mario in a car" 😁
Haha so true.
Although looking at all the game announcements last week it felt like a lot of them were the same game, so a similar situation these days I think.
Sorry for forgetting your namesake! I never had this one.
Wind Waker but no Twilight Princess? :o
Sunshine fucked so hard, I'm looking directly into your soul with that at the top of the list and let me tell you, I fucking see you dude.
And I love it.
No n64 was
No ps1 was
I'd argue PS2 is objectively better since it's also a PS1 too
No PC Engine was.
Listen to this and I fucking dare you to type that again
the controller though
Ahead of its time, for the future when man would be blessed by genetic technology to bestow 3 hands upon themselves
I know, how are you supposed to lower yourself to anything else when you've already held perfection.
The controller was perfectly fine. The concept was slightly ridiculous and I don’t think I ever played a game that actually used the left side, but ergonomically it was fine.
I miss ROM-Hacking Luigi's Mansion. Had some huge drama on some forums and crashed out. I've never recovered since.
I need details about this.
No it was the 4.77 MHz 8086. It beeped and it hummed, providing much needed warm air to my room - the only insulation of which was nkotb posters.
SNES was best.
Dreamcast.
animal crossing on the gamecube had a lot of "microtransactions". part of the functionality of the game was tied to having a gba/gamecube link cable. another part was tied to having an e-reader, along with several series of cards you had to collect in almost a "gacha" like sense.
I refused to buy one for two reasons:
the principle of me not having any money
it's not a fucking cube. It's a cuboid.
2 might seem like pedantry, but it would have cost them almost nothing in terms of plastic to make it a cube without having to redesign the internals, or they had used an honest designer in the first place.
Honestly, it still itches me now. If I had one I'd 3d-print a little extension to fix it.
Simply put, yes. This reminds me, I have to look into using the GameCube startup animation for booting my computer
I don't know about objectivity being the best. I do remember a video where the dropped that generation off a stairs and was only one that worked, although the lid had to be held down. Also I remember hearing it was both the most powerful of its gen and wasn't sold at a loss.
It was definitely my favorite console. Got into the wii but overtime I grew out of concals and moved onto doing all my gaming on pc.
Wasn't the Wii objectively better since it could also play GameCube games?
Maybe, but the GameCube was really riding a particular techno aesthetic, both externally and in the menu design. It was really the very tail-end of the "just because we can!" breed of design.
The Wii went all nice and soft white, rounded buttons, happy and family-friendly, which was absolutely the correct move for Nintendo commercially to make it mass-market, but it lost something at the same time.
