    When I played Super Mario Sunshine, I saw just how impressive Nintendo's GameCube is. The graphics that are on some of these games are marvelous. This is a damn good game system indeed. I don't know if there's a GameStop in your area. But the GameStop in my area is selling used GameCubes for only $30.00. You can't even get a decent game for that price. If there's a GameStop in your area that's selling $30.00 GameCubes, buy one immediately. At this price, you might even want to buy a spare. I give Nintendo's GameCube a 5 star rating.

    This is my second favorite Nintendo console ever. This controller is better than Nintendo 64. This graphics are better than PS2 or Nintendo 64 in my opinion.

    Wow I think this is an amazing system, it had stellar Triple A exclusives if you don't have a GC and consider yourself a true gaming fan you owe it to yourself to get this or a Wii, personally I would skip out on the Wii and just get this thing as its 30 dollars or so at a Gamestop, used of course, and games are cheap as well, all under 20 bucks now. But of course this system has just so MANY AAA titles its hard to over look this.

    Say what you what will about the Game Cube, yes, it looks like a big purple lunch box, there were too many Pokemon games, and it's made for kids, and not hard core gamers, but I found that some of the games for the Game Cube, were actually not all that bad.

    Other than Mario and Zelda, Nintendo Gamecube has nothing. The gamecube is nothing more than a purple lunchbox.

    I'm in my teens and i think that this system is pretty good. I love Mario games but the games on the Gamecube are nice and simple. Anyone can play the games also. The discs are smaller which is pretty awesome.

    *EDIT* Personally,I'm not a fan of disturbingly violent video games.The exception being Silent Hill. The Gamecube has a lot of titles that I find very quirky.Paper Mario:The Thousand Year Door,Lost Kingdoms,and Animal Crossing among them. I still like the design of the controller. Again,feel free to disagree.

    Not really for me as most of the games are very kid oriented. Mario, Zelda (Zelda wasn't a kids game until the new Windwaker came out), Megaman, Pokemon, absence of violent games like Grand Theft Auto... I don't really need to say much more. I can only think of a few games aimed at adults for the Gamecube so it doesn't really appeal to me. Also the controller is really small (*cough* kids controller), I can barely grasp it with my hands. So unless your 12 or younger this won't really appeal unless your a die hard Nintendo fan.

    The Gamcube is OK. But that's about all I can say. The selection of games is good for kids, but doesn't really spark my interest. I own the 3 BIG systems and the 'Cube is my least favorite, but I wouldn't call it terrible. If you want more mature titles get an XBOX or PS2.

    With the most amazing graphics of this generation, the Nintendo GameCube should be the king of video games now. The controller, with innovative analog shoulder buttons and a perfect layout that includes two analog control sticks is one of the best controllers ever. The system itself looks great and the nifty handle is just another great Nintendo touch. The small discs keep load times down and hold three times more than your average Playstation game. Nintendo's first-party efforts for the GameCube have been quite amazing. Super Smash Brothers Melee is, quite possibly, the best game of all time and easily the best fighting game ever. Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door destroys the Final Fantasy series and easily qualifies for best RPG ever. Mario Sports and Mario Party continue with great graphics and improved features. We're also going to see a new StarFox space combat game! And, now, we've got Sega on our side with the awesome Sonic Mega Collection and the jaw-dropping Sonic Heroes. A... Read more

    Its great for all ages but, Nintendo focuses on the kids because if you see the range of games, it goes from E-Ma. There are a couple of Ma rated games but most games are E.

    The Gamecube is a mixture of good and bad. The system can produce some awesome graphics and has very strong first party support. And you can tell that Nintendo really cares about the titles they produce. However, the system lacks a lot in third party support. If you really are into Light Gun games (ie Time Crisis), Fighting games (ie Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution, Guilty Gear XX, SFAE), etc...you best look elsewhere. And rarely does any of the system's games support online. Even though online players are a small percentage of the market, it would be an even extra bonus to pull more support for this. The controller is a mixed bag. For most first party games, the contoller works fine. A lot of multi games struggle with this. Whether it be the lack of buttons (SSX3), the odd placement (MMAC), or the terrible pad (Capcom vs SNK:EO).

    Ok um aiwachica,no offense or anything but games on the gamecube are usually made for younger kids and if you want teen or mature games get a PS2 because they have alot of them. Anyways the Gamecube is GREAT! I love the zelda games. ^-^

    This is the best current video game system in my opinion. It's graphics match PS2 and Xbox and the system only cost $99.....You can get alot of Nintendo exclusives that you cannot get on other systems..

    I liked it at first but then I realized that there are only two maybe three games worth buying and that the controls are terrible. I mean the joystick isn't sensitive at all. To get my character to turn in the opposite direction I have to basically punch the damn thing and when the desired command is finally received it's already too late.

    Nintendo will always be the best in video game systems. The majority of the other ones are just too confusing and take too much time for normal everyday working people.

    I don't own a gamecube, but I have played a couple of games on it. The graphics are great, but the system seems just a little to kid oriented for me. I have owned an SNES,which I think is still the best game system around, just because of the quality of the games produced on it. Doesn't have to be all about graphics. N64 is a good system, but it didn't last long. I was hoping Nintendo would produce a more serious looking system besides gamecube.I have a playstation2 which is a good system, but I always liked nintendo, hope the gamecube does good.

    I have to laugh at all of you tards who call this a 'kiddie console'. Don't you realize that every other console as games that target a younger audience? It wouldn't surprise me if you all are playing Kingdom Hearts right now.

AN ABSOLUTE FRICKIN' MASTERPEICE!!!!! wind waker? a work of art!!!! I dont see how anyone can sit down at animal crossing and say thay hate it. any frickin' one can say,"its okay, i like so and so" but still, it awsome!!! it has so many aspects everybody must love some bit!!!!! i've seen a man nearing fifty sit down and love it so much hes considering buying a system of his own. People say theres so little amount of games, and they, my peoples, are nearsighted jerks.

    Even though nintendo has had its bumpy rides like competing over PSone it has come back with Nintendo GameCube. Yes I know its recommended to people under the age of 10 it also has Resident Evil 0 and coming out is the rest. And with booming rates that Zelda The Windwaker has been making I think this Game System is going to be out alot longer. (And watch for FFC its coming out some of you know what I mean)

    I originally had low expectations for the Game Cube, because of its reputation for being for children only. I have to admit, though, I was wrong, and I'm glad. This system features pretty good graphics (depending on the game), compact EVERYTHING (from the console itself to the game discs to even the controllers that you can buy seperately), extensive accessories (attachable LCD screen, Game Boy advance compatability, etc.), 4 controller ports, very decent loading times, and a fair selection of games. Most games ARE geared for children under 13, but there are a few good games out there for older audiences (Phantasy Star Online is a fun game, amongst others). It's a good system especially for younger players, as it's still generally geared for them, but Nintendo seems to finally be getting to the older players (albeit a bit slowly). Definately worth considering if buying for children or if you've seen the games and liked what you saw.

    Pretty nice system. works faster than the n64. my favorite games are mario sunshine, animal crossing, mario party 4, and smash bros melee. if you have a kid, buy it for x-mas or their b-day!

    First, I have to admit that the GameCube is a nice system, from a performance standpoint all the way down to its compact size and overall look; it's an attractive system. But can anyone out there really say that this comes down to pixels and processor speeds when the GameCube, X-Box and PS2 are so similar? Do you push your taped-up horn-rimmed spectacles back up when playing a PS2 game and say, "Oh my god, this is, like, sooooo 2001!"? Is there really any one out of the big three consoles that just mercilessly rips the others apart? No. When the race is as close as this it comes down to the games. And unfortunately, the GameCube's kiss of death is the fact that its repertoire has been wasted on players 10 years of age and younger in another brilliant move by Nintendo to put all their eggs in one basket. I never have understood Nintendo and I don't think I ever will. I do have every Nintendo system, however, with the obvious exception of the GameCube. And as for "Resident Evil" and Jame... Read more

    not that bad of a system- i work for a game company as a character animator- we are producing an xbox title and ps2 version - the ps2 can only handle about 1,500 poly character- and the xbox is 4,800. i believe the game cube can handle about 3,000 so it better than ps2 for sure- only reason we are producing for ps2 cause it dominate the market one sales - i have a GC my self.. not bad of system. i give props to xbox for its power. PS2 is okay and game cube is good cause it has better multi player games. oh yeah squaresoft is coming back to nintendo to do some titles too. :o)

    Anyone who says that gamecube sucks should get their head out of their a$$. Even if the games are targeted to people under 17 years, they're still better than most other games out there. The system's perfect for people who just want to have fun, not for the losers who have no life other than video games. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!!!

    I would like to say that all the people that state gamecube is only targeting children are full of crap.They clearly must of not seen all the great resident evil games and james bond games. Gamecube is a great system with awesome graphics at a good price. As for those who thinks it sucks, i tried for awhile to see things from your point of view but i cant seem to stick my head that far up my a$$.

    I hate the GameCube. I hate it. If I were a Nazi... I'd say F JEWS! LET'S TAKE OUT THE GAMECUBE!! Only I would say it in German. Nintendo needs to learn who is the boss in the new generation gaming industry. Yeah SNES was great... but N64 came out and proved how much experience Nintendo needs in order to compete with todays Gaming Giants i.e. Sony and Microsoft. BURN IN HELL GAMECUBE!!

    game....cube...sucks, and if i had it i would use it as a door stop most likely. it has poor games,that only children under 8 would play,and it has almost no virtual memory. x-box has over 4.2 giga bytes of ram. and has awesome games. (especially halo) it has overall,better gameplay,graphics,ram memory,speed,and even has a better name. basicly gamecube is nothing but a small box of virtual crap,no better than the original nintendo.

    Gamecube is cheap, has all the EA sports games and Resident Evil. Most of the accesories are pretty cheap, and the graphics are just as good as PS2.

    The gamecube offers the highest number of proprietary titles of any console. Many people point to its "E" rated games and push it off as a kid's console. Remember, though, just because children play a game does not mean the game is for kids only. Nintendo believes in games that have a broad appeal, not a single game for a single group of people. Take one of their exclusive franchises, Mario, for example. While children enjoy this game, so do many adults. Let us also remember that most sports games are "E" rated. Nintendo putting out "kiddy" games is a myth perpetrated by *ahem* Sony, and fanboys who want to make themselves feel better by downplaying another systems strengths. Buy a system for its games. Buy the Gamecube if you like the following titles: Mario, Zelda, Resident Evil, Donkey Kong, Eternal Darkness, Starfox. Otherwise you are pretty much better off getting a PS2.

    GameCube sucks if you are older then 10, all of it's games are intended for little kids. The only O.K game is super mash brothers and even that game is dumb. If you have a little kid in the family and want to buy them a system buy them a GameCube but if your not little, buy a PS2 or an XBOX.

    It's good and all, but Nintendo still targets kids under 17 years old. Oh well.
