The console’s optical disc format, distinctive controller and first party lineup (especially Super Smash Bros. Melee) helped it retain a dedicated following that commenters still call a hood classic.

I was always a little triggered that it wasn't an actual cube. The dimensions were off. The carry handle was a nice touch.

I can see why they delayed the release in the US by a few months.

This is a great time for gaming. Sony came out with the PS2 not too long ago, and Microsoft's new gaming system is coming out in a couple months. The design looks a little clunky, but if they continue on with console development and improve on that aspect with their next system (which will undoubtedly be called the Xbox 2 as that makes the most sense), Microsoft could be a major player for generations to come.

I can’t wait to see what open-world Donkey Kong comes out on this thing! Donkey Kong 64 is a tough act to follow!

Well, something positive happened this week I hope that, someday, we can have a GameCube game with a blue-haired swordsman! That would be nice 💙🩵

A console much more powerful than the weak PS2. Graphics on the Gamecube are going to change the way we view gaming forever

They say it was one of the worst selling console for Nintendo but it had so many good games. Was it the advertisements or the tower crashing.

It’s shit, go buy a ps2 folks. It doesn’t even play DVDS which is a surely lucrative thing right now. There’s not even any GTA, I bet Nintendo regrets that, and its a shitty kiddy system and Nintendo should just go third party like sega might.
