Are people with an undying hatred for the system allowed to attend the funeral service? I may do an Irish jig on top of its casket. Anyway, good riddance; the DS more than makes up for this, Nintendo's biggest mistake.
Edit: Plus, I can't be the only one who felt that the GC versions of Nintendo's most beloved franchises were uninspired and lame compared to its previous consoles.

We all know how big Virtual Boy was... Had way better games then the Gc... Oh and the deal with Phillips, or how about that cool HDD thing for the 64. That was nifty too.Barf_the_Mog said:

I am tired of reading all the people that talks crap about Gamecube.
Do you prefer the third partie situation of N64 over the GCN one?
Do you prefer to wait months waiting for a decent game?
If you are a N64 lover the answer is yes.

I just bought Paper Mario 2 and Chibi Robo, so the lil' fella isn't dead yet. Then again I'll probably play them on the Wii now that I have a working freeloader.
I take it back, RIP.

Some great exclusive games that might not be mentioned...

One thing that sort of irks me about the Wii: why didn't it have an integrated Wavebird receiver? Does the little access door even close when you have the receiver plugged in? I can't imagine the part costing all that much to include...

I'm an N64 lover, no doubt. The third party situation on the GC absolutely sucked when compared to the PS2. I'll admit, RE4 on the GC was amazing; perhaps one of the best gaming experiences of my life. However, sparse exclusive third party releases, coupled with

My Gamecube Collection (with some Wii and DS games):
And my collection isn´t complete it lacks:
-Pikmin 2
-Luigi´s Mansion
-Baten Kaitos
-Baten Kaitos II
-Skies of Arcadia
-Ikaruga
I know that I am going to get a hard time trying to find all these games.
EDIT: Sorry for scaring you with my ugly myself.

Better than the N64 in every way, yet it somehow managed to do worse. The Gamecube should have had a better fate.

Less AAA++++ than N64, more Bs and As. I guess that's why it has a strong fanbase but poor sales.

Oh Gamecube. I love you. I still have more games for you than I do that silly PS2, and let's not even talk about that weird Xbox. You get a bad rap, but you're the most fun I've ever had with a video game system.
From that Spaceworld reveal so long ago, you've given me butterflies. It's funny, I can almost smell the cheap perfume on the Japanese models touting you around like you were nothing more than a glorified lunch box. But deep down, I knew. I knew the naysayers were wrong. I knew you would deliver inspired content that I couldn't get anywhere else, and oh did you deliver.
And the multiplayer, OH THE MULTIPLAYER. Those four controller ports were taken advantage of too many times to count.
You managed to get a Metal Gear Solid, and a Final Fantasy! I was so proud of you then, so full of hope. I didn't care about the questionable quality of cutscenes, or the amount of equipment required to enjoy these things. The fact that you ran them was good enough for me.
R.I.P little buddy, you will be missed (but not really, because you still live under my TV).

That looks like an IKEA entertainment center.

I've still got several GameCube games I'm playing, and I want to get Baten Kaitos Origins. And no one mentioned one of the greatest multiplayer games ever made, yet.
Just played through it again recently with friends. I had forgotten most of it, so it was like playing it the first time, and we were so sad when we beat it. Tried to replace it with Crystal Chronicles (which me and my old girlfriend played long ago), but after several attempts to pick each other up and derive some enjoyment from it, we found it didn't hold up.

Chibi-Robo was January of 2006 I believe, Odama was April.
This. I just got it today and am playing single player on my Wii. It is excellent and would say it gave me more of that Zelda feeling than Twilight Princess did so far. At the very least its a kickass 2D Zelda on the Gamecube.Pokeylongo said:I've still got several GameCube games I'm playing, and I want to get Baten Kaitos Origins.

Gamecube was a pretty bad system, but we should still look at it like we'd look at the local jerk dying of old age. There were the finer moments.
....nothing on Xbox or PS2 could give me what Metroid Prime 1 and 2 did. The resident evil collection re-released and then re-invented....F-zero GX and it's totally awesome awesomeness....Smash Bros which I still play to this day. *tear*
....I'd say the only developer that really didn't deliver was EAD. I don't have anything good to say about Mario Sunshine, TWW, or Double Dash other than that they were the worst and most uninspired of their series. Pikmin 2 and Luigi's Mansion were awesome.

Poor little gamecube. You were put upon this world and not looked after properly. So much promise, so little support.

the N64 was better overall except for the series that were absent on N64 looking at it from the Nintendo-gaming angle.
from the 3rd party angle, it was better than the N64.

single player is an absolute piece of crap. I am dead serious, DO NOT buy it thinking you'll get a substantial, real Zelda 2d single player adventure. The game was meant to be played on multiplayer, period. If you don't have at least 2 more friends, 2 more gameboys and 2 more link cables, forget about this game.
it's just a bunch of numbered levels ( 1-1, 1-2, 1-3 boss. 2-1, 2-2, 2-3 boss, repeat until world 7 or 8 I think ) and each time you begin each stage you lose the heart containers, weapons and items. The game is just not fun.
it can be played with the normal controller.
