General Comments
The Nintendo Gamecube's brilliant design makes this a unique console, especially the tiny discs. Good presentation, typically nintendo!!
Unfortunately due to the small discs the storage space is smaller than the usual DVD media. But these small discs are giving software pirates big headaches!!
The fan is fairly quiet and when playing with the volume turned up you will not notice it.
At the end of the day the software sells the machine and Nintendo are one of the best developers in the world. Although some will say the games are for kids, the gameplay and innovation are still ground breaking.
All in all a brilliant games machine but due to the super marketing machine that is Sony and Microsoft, it will play second fiddle to the PS2 and XBOX. Shame.
On average, people found this review very helpful
