Editorial Review: Product Description: A gaming system is only as good as the games it plays. Nintendo GameCube offers an ever-growing game library which caters to fans of all genres.Exclusive games and characters like Mario, Metroid, Zelda, Pokemon and more are only available on Nintendo consoles. It's simple: Nintendo GameCube delivers the games you want to play. From its unique design to its ground-breaking games, it is clear that Nintendo GameCube is different. No matter what kind of games you love to play, you will find them on the Nintendo GameCube. Amazon.com Review: Though it looks like a toy, don't be fooled: the Nintendo GameCube is a powerful video game console that rightly deserves its place among the other next-generation game systems. In fact, its playful, appealing design and small size (the unit is a not-quite-cubed 6 inches) aren't the only features that set it apart from the others. For starters, Nintendo has quite clearly made this a game-only machine. It doesn't try to play your CD collection, run your movies, read your e-mail, or store your MP3 files. The company has concentrated its efforts on games. All the prelaunch titles we've seen play smoothly, with bright, fast graphics and great sound. Nintendo says its engineers have removed traditional bottlenecks that have, in the past, slowed down processing. New components designed by IBM and MoSys, as well as a large-capacity secondary memory cache, keep instructions moving through the system's microprocessor (MPU) at peak levels. In English: the GameCube is optimized to push speed up while pushing costs down; hence its position at the lower end of the price spectrum. The GameCube is the first Nintendo video game system to use a disc-based medium rather than cartridges for its games. Moving the software to disc media generally means lower development costs for the publishers, which, in turn, trickles down to the consumer not only in price, but also in availability and quality, as it's then easier to try out untested game ideas (Pikmin, anyone?). While most other systems likewise have their games stored on discs, the GameCube's 3-inch format is smaller than everyone else's, and is so designed to fit in a shirt pocket as much as to deter would-be software pirates. Of course, the main advantage of the GameCube is that it's the home field of one of the world's premier game designers: Nintendo. While powerhouses Electronic Arts and Sega make games for all systems (including this one), you can play Nintendo games only on a Nintendo system. And Nintendo, you might recall, has been hitting them out of the park since it started with Donkey Kong. In fact, here's a roll call of characters and series you won't find on the other consoles: Mario, Legend of Zelda, Perfect Dark, Metroid, Kirby, and, of course, Pokémon. A few names that the GameCube will share with the other guys: Madden, Tony Hawk, Sonic, Batman, and Star Wars. The system also comes with four built-in controller ports, so you can easily plug in extra controllers and let friends join in for the multiplayer games--it's even got a built-in handle so you can easily move it to a friend's house. It comes with two memory card slots for saving your progress through games, and there's the capacity for future expansion into the world of online gaming. In short, the GameCube isn't an all-in-one entertainment system, and neither is it the most powerful of the modern video game consoles. But for video game enthusiasts who want to stick with their favorite characters, its value cannot be beat. --Porter B. Hall Unit Specifications

 Rating:  - Very Nice...This is a very nice console... Great design, graphics and gameplay ... I recommend this console for those who want hours of fun ... Rating:  - Don't get me wrong I enjoy the gamecube's lineup but a Wii is a better choice to buyThe Wii can play All gamecube games. You need a memory card and controllers but you will have access to the Wii's great lineup and easily play all gamecube games. I would not buy a GAMECUBE unless you are a die hard collector of some sort. The gamecube console itself has several excellent games such as Zelda Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime, Eternal Darkness to name a few. Rating:  - Much to be desiredI believe this game system leaves the consumer feeling a bit disappointed. I have played games for twenty years and honestly i was not impressed with this particular system at all. I don't believe there are enough games/variety for a whole family who plays games. The one thing i do like is that the GameCube games will play on my Wii. Also, one advantage to this game system is you really dont have much waiting (loading) time as you do with the playstations. Overall, i would say this would be an okay ... Read More Rating:  - ClassicI don't care what you say, this system will always be a classic. It was unfortunately run over by the wii but I will always be a fan. Thank you Nintendo! Rating: - Fun gamingA unique console idea, I truly love Nintendo coming out with each of their consoles every so many years. The gamecube didn't offer the best graphics, but introduced some unique gameplay, and allowed users to even hook up with their game boy advance! The gamecube is a video game console I'll never forget! I loved all of those memories playing Luigi's Mansion, and Pokemon Colosseum. Browse for similar items by category: Click to Display
