  Gamecube: Great System, Lacking Great Games
Review created: 09/26/05
54 of 62 people found this review helpful.

I have a long line of Nintendo blood in me, so when the wave of next generation systems arrived a couple years ago – Xbox, Playsation 2 and Gamecube – I gravitated to the Gamecube because my affinity for Nintendo, Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64 lead me there. The system itself was pleasing – small, cute and new – and it rendered excellent graphics, came with a new and comfortable controller, and arrived amidst a flurry of rumored and expected game titles that would satisfy any Nintendo buff’s cravings… how could I resist another go with Donkey Kong, Mario, Zelda and the consistent multi-platform greats like Madden and EA?

Well, the trouble for me wasn’t the quality of the system or the graphics… rather, it was the lack of great games. Nintendo didn’t publish games at the rate that the others did – perhaps wanting to only release great ones – but whatever the reason was, the variety was lacking. This was massively disappointing considering that Nintendo has the best video game franchise possible – and they barely tapped into the potential… and that’s the word that represents the Nintendo Gamecube for me: potential. It had the potential to be great. To be the best. And the technology was capable. The games were the limiting factor though.

That said – while I wouldn’t recommend buying a new system in the stores – eBay does offer used systems and packages at such low prices that it is worth the purchase – especially if you pick up these games:

The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures
Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
Wario World
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Super Mario Sunshine
Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life
Animal Crossing
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time
Metroid Prime
True Crime: Streets of LA
Soul Calibur II
Eternal Darkness
Mario Power Tennis
F-Zero GX
Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour
Resident Evil Zero
Super Mario Sunshine
Donkey Konga
Mario Party 4
Pikmin
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
Resident Evil 4

  THE BEST SYSTEM OUT THERE
Review created: 12/13/05(updated 12/13/05)
16 of 20 people found this review helpful.

AS I SPEAK FOR MY SELF, I THINK IT'S A GREAT SYSTEM OVERALL. NOTHING BREAKS ON ITS OWN UNLESS SOMEONE DOES IT. CONTROLLERS ARE BETTER THAN ALL SYSTEM, SMALL AND EASY TO HANDLE. SIMPLE BUTTONS AS I SAY. NOW, THE SYSTEM GREAT WITH MANY GAMES TO PLAY. REALY WOULD LIKE TO SEE GAMECUBE TAKE A DISC AS A CD PLAYER. WITH OUT HAVING TO OPEN OR CLOSE THE LID EVERY NOW AND THEN. THAT'LL BE COOL TO SEE. AS OF SMALL SYSTEM, SMALL MEMORY CARD & SMALL DISC I THINK IT ALOT BETTER THAT WAY. MORE COMPACT, SAVING ROOM FOR OTHER THINGS TO PUT ON YOU ENTERTAINMENT CENTER. OR GO WITH X-BOX YOU WILL NOT HAVE ROOM FOR YOUR TV AT ALL. SORRY THAT'S HOW I FEEL. GAMECUBE SIMPLY THE BEST!

Cheap gamecubes, with PS3s and Xbox360s and even the Wii, there way too expensive. Gamecubes are cheap and have a huge library of games, what more do I need to say?

  2008 and can't afford a Wii
Review created: 07/10/08

I can't complain about the price I got this for. It's not bad though the last time I played on a GameCube was a few years ago and it looked bigger than what it is now. Pretty cool to have just incase you play GameCube games on your Wii; you'll have this if your Wii ever breaks. This is an out of date system and you can get them real cheap so it's worth it.

The game play is pretty cool, the controls are better than the N64's obviously and the graphics are above average. I was told that this system would be picked out to be the best from the Xbox and PS2 days.

It just seems that the Nintendo system will always be in competition with Microsoft and Sony. And look who's winning... The Wii lol

I recommend this system if you like to play the classic games. If you don't want the system, you can always buy the games and play them on the Wii since it is backward compatible. All you'd need is an Official GameCube controller. I don't know if the Wiimotes or whatever work with GameCube games. You can get skins for the system too; to make it look more colorful.

Click on the link below, register, pick an account type (referral is the easiest) and complete just 1 offer (Very important that you complete the 1 offer otherwise your account will sit in limbo until you do). The best offer to do is STAMPS.com. Its free, all you need to do is register and follow the instructions. And you’re on your way

There are plenty of cool offers to choose from such as Blockbuster online, Stamp.com, Netflix, Gamefly which are services you would regularly sign up for anyways and their all secure networks, why not use them to get a free Xbox 360 Elite or cash (I did the Stamps.com for a 4 week free trial and it is free!). Look at the offers and choose the one that works for you. After signing up and completing your one offer, simply refer 5-13 people or friends (depending on the FREE prize you choose) to do the same under your link (just post the same thing as I have on eBay or any other message board, and you'll get your referrals before the auction even ends.)

Then they will ship your Xbox 360 Elite or your selected item for free, I chose the Cash. No Joke, 100% REAL!!! The reason these companies make money, is because most people don't bother getting all the referrals. All you have to do is post it on EBAY!

  Good system 3 years ago....Still worth having...
Review created: 06/21/08
by:
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

First off I am writing this just because I want to address all of these people who are writing reviews about their eBay transaction with the seller versus a review about the actual GameCube. This is not where you leave feedback for the person you bought the console from. This is where you leave feedback for the actual console. I don't know if you can’t read or maybe you aren't very good with a computer or new to eBay, but it clearly says at the top to, "Tell us about this product and share your opinion with others".

For those of you who want to know if you should buy a GameCube or not I will tell you some pros and cons of buying one.

Pros: There are some classics for it (I.E. Zelda, Mario)
It is Cheap
Great system for kids
Compact and easy to carry around

Cons: It is a last generation system
Not many great third party games out for it
No online play

If you want to buy a system, but don’t want to spend a lot of money; then the GameCube is for you. Say you have young kids and they don't know the difference between the Wii and the GameCube; then the GameCube is for you. Say you like to stay behind in video game technology, and you’re still playing the Nintendo 64 everyday; then the GameCube is for you.

Despite many of the critics out there the GameCube is a good system. Its graphics are usually better than PS2, and usually behind the original XBOX. Its third party options are usually lacking and not as good as its counterparts, but it is also the only last generation system to be able to play some of the greatest games of all time (Zelda, Mario, etc). If you can't afford or just don’t want to spend the money on a Wii (which can play GameCube games) the GameCube is a good option.

  Nintendo GameCube
Review created: 06/07/08

The price of the Nintendo GameCube is affordable and it is well worth it. I purchased one at a great price for my nephews recently and they loved the console. The games that they can play on it are the games that most children enjoy, given that it has games like Super Smash Bros Melee, The Legend of Zelda, Mario Kart and many more for prices that are in affordable range. I recommend the Nintendo GameCube for anyone who wants to buy a game console that is affordable and especially if it is for children because the games are cheap, and the games it offers are the games they tend to enjoy. Nintendo GameCube also has a great line up of other games so its not just limited for children, but in my case my nephews loved it. Overall the console is a good buy in comparison to other game consoles which are so highly priced, and with the many line up of games, it is well worth the purchase.

What to say about the Gamecube, well this system has redefined the Nintendo gaming world. It has brought back classics from previous systems, integrated four player action without needing an adapter and also integrated an HD output. One of the most powerful systems for its time and definetely a must have for kids and families alike!

2 thumbs way up!!

Very nice looking,great game console. We own a Wii system but still the kids love to play with the GameCube also. So, because they are so cheap on Ebay I decided to purchase another platinum GameCube like the one I already have. Stylish and attractive, love the platinum color. Another plus is that the games are interchangeable with the two systems, GameCube & Wii.

1st off, I wanted one of these when they first came out, but never got around to getting one. But then my daughter went to one of her friends house and played one; she was hooked! Since we've bought this thing, she hardly comes comes out of her room!!! She loves it. And what makes her happy, makes me happy!!!
Great product and titles. It still looks good, even with the current crop of games out there. Highly recommended!!!

It's uncommon today to find a dealer that truly stands by their product. As described in the description of this Game Cube, the box may have looked worn but the product inside was flawless and in PERFECT condition as stated. My son had a very nice birthday because of this Ebay store and merchant. His was stolen from his home about 2 months ago but the games were not taken. It's hard to find a new Game Cube without paying much more than what I did here on Ebay.

THANKS!

A 'very satisfied' customer
