Good Points: Portable, Great Graphics (just check out Resident Evil 4, a GC Exclusive!), A 'Gamers System', MARIO! Lots of game on those little discs! Zelda games! Great price, it is sort of the forgotten system. I know that I bought mine when it was brand new and I have never had an issue with it. My GC has never broken and the only problem I have had is playing Metroid Prime. The game freezes from time to time and always has. I guess it is just my copy because my brother beat Metroid and played the whole game through without any incident.
Bad Points: Memory Cards that aren't very good. Sometimes you'll use a whole memory card for one game (Madden). No CD or DVD capability. Some basic 'kiddie' games that have been the norm for quite some time now with Nintendo. Not many bad points because it is a great system at a great price, especially nowadays!
General comments: The great forgotten system! It has great graphics, it is very portable (nowhere near the heftiness of the xbox or the ps2 before it was slimmed down.) No other system will allow you to play Mario or Zelda and those are two of the greatest VG franchises ever and continue to be. Super Mario Sunshine might just be the best Mario Game EVER! Resident Evil 4 is one of the greatest games I have ever seen or played. You will play it for 10 hours or more and not even get to the second disc! Lastly I know that you can go to a local VG store (not Gamestop because they don't sell last gen stuff) and get one for 29.00 maybe a little more or a little less. FUN STUFF!

The Nintendo GameCube is a good buy, but get it before it is completely obsolete.

I've seen complaints about backwards compatibility, and that it doesn't play DVD's.
First off, how do you expect the Gamecube to be backwards compatible, when the last console used cartridges? When the Gamecube was made, CD's were a much better medium of storage, and took much less space. If you expected Nintendo to keep using cartridges just for backwards compatibility, you're nuts. If you really want to play the old games, buy an N64, they don't cost much at yard sales.
Secondly, of course ...

The Nintendo GameCube is absolutely not the best console out of the XBOX and PS2. You cannot play DVD's, which is a huge disappointment, nor can you play CD's, which I don't care for as much because of MP3 players and iPod's etc. A good point is that it is inexpensive and comes bundled with games. Also, you can play classics like Mario and Yoshi. However, it WILL NOT PLAY N64, games unlike the PS2 which plays PSONE games. The graphics aren't the best, and for the size I guess it would be like i ...

As a mother of a pre-adolescent son, my main concern was to purchase a product that would allow my son to play video games that did not promote any of the forbidden topics listed in the review guidelines, would allow him to have fun on a rainy day when he couldn't get outside to play, was more interactive than watching TV and provided some eye-hand coordination activity. All the research my husband and I did indicated that the Nintendo GameCube was the best option and had the best choice of game ...

I have always been into computer games as my brother was a mad fan and ALWAYS brought the newest one you can get. I brought the Nitendo Game Cube last year and I am totally hooked. The controller is really comfortable (sometimes controllers just dont feel right) and the graphics are great. I like the wide variety of games available but I wish they were just a little bit cheaper sometimes. All in all though - WELL WORTH GETTING!!!!

The Nintendo GameCube is one of the best gaming systems Nintendo has created. There are nice games available for it (a little expensive, but they're worth the money), but the Game Boy Advance SP has almost the exact same games at a cheaper price. You can't get Mario Party or any of the war games, but I would still recommend getting a Nintendo DS or Game Boy Advance SP over a GameCube.

Nintendo GameCube is the console of choice for multiplayer fun. I bought it on relaese day saved up for 1 year plus. I only own a Gamecube and N64 before it. The best console form the best makers, PS2 and X box controllers are terrible to use (only 2 on PS2), graphics aren't anything special not as good as the GC's.
Why is this console not the market leader.
I am sticking with Nintendo they make reliable great multiplayer consoles.
No others can compare in gameplay. ...

The Gamecube has got to be one of the most perfect gaming consoles ever made - Before the Cube I had never owned a Nintendo - I started my gaming career on the ZX Spectrum, progressed to an Amiga 1400, then a Master System, then a Mega Drive, followed by a PS1 and then finally by a PS2 (throughout this list you can also add around 12 different PC's and a few handhelds so all in all I would say I'm pretty experienced when it comes to gaming).
About 2 months ago I found I had about £150 ...

The Nintendo GameCube has a better graphics card than PS2 and a better processor but who needs graphics anyway? Cube has the best gameplay out of all the 3 consoles. I own an Xbox and a PS2 but none of them are as good. PS2 owners complain that Cube is for little children but look at games like all the Resident Evils', Eternal Darkness etc.

I will be honest, the graphics on the Nintendo Gamecube are not the best on the market. The XBOX does have a general superiority, but not by much. In fact, when I bought Resisdent Evil 4, I saw the best graphics I have ever seen from a gaming console. The controller is the most user friendly. It is not the BEST choice for first person shooters, but the controller still performs very well. Nintendo also has a wireless controller avilable. Most importantly, the games available on the Gamecube matc ...

I love this Nintendo GameCube system. I haven't had one for very long, but it's the best. So many great games along with an easy to use controller. There are so many exculsive games on it, inlcuding Super Smash Bros. Melee, all the Zelda games, F-Zero GX, Mario Kart Toadstool Tour, Mario Kart Double Dash, Mario Power Tennis, and much, much more. The other systems like to share there games with other systems. That isn't very smart unless they share them with Nintendo, then it's ok. Overall, this ...

The Nintindo Gamecube is a very good console. The controller is very easy to use and depending on the game is good for all ages. It has many games to choose from, good for little children and up to adults. This console is very good. The only thing is that the discs are tiny. This means you can't play DVDs or CDs. But because the discs are smaller believe it or not it hold a whole lot more memory and allows Nintindo to make even better games. This means better graphics more memory and more fun. I ...

First off, online IS NOT everything, which is a good job for the Nintendo Gamecube. When it comes down to it, it is all about gameplay and fun factor. In my opinion, the Gamecube (GC) has both.
The graphics in this system are very polished and well done. Overall, much better than the PS2 and almost as good if not as good as the XBox. The controller was very comfortable for almost every game made for the system.
Even though there aren't many titles out for the GC, there are many exclusives ...

The Gamecube is an amazing piece of hardware, if Nintendo didn't make some ignorant decisions the gamecube could be on top, the games are spectacular, Resident Evil series, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes, Super Monkey Ball, Viewtiful Joe, Eternal Darkness, The new Legend of Zelda, I think Resident Evil 4's graphics are better than any Xbox game I've seen, if you have any siblings or friends and Super Smash Bros. Melee with 4 controllers you wont have to buy anymore ga ...

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. ...

Nintendo - you have messed up AGAIN! this time with the Gamecube (GC)! Rather than use DVDs like the other consoles, the GC uses tiny CDs the size of a digestive biscuit. This means you can't play music CDs or DVDs in the drive. Why Nintendo? WHY?! Just like the N64's cartridges in an age of CD technology, the know-it-alls at Nintendo Towers have opted to use a pointless alternative in an attempt to combat piracy and be a bit different for the sake of it. It has worked to some extent, but still ...

I recently bought myself a Nintendo Gamecube and didn't really think it was going to be nearly as good as I thought. By far, the Gamecube has much better graphics than the PS2 considering I own a PS2 and I can see the difference between some of the games out on both consoles. People think that the Gamecube is a kids' console but it's not. Yeah, ok, maybe the Gamecube hasn't got as many games as the other two consoles (X-box and PS2) but it has got some really good games and a lot of exclusives.
