Is gamecube the worst console EVER?

Started by LondonTown10 pages

The Gamecubes faults are all Nintendos fault. For example selling Rare creators of Goldeneye. Failing to buy third party companies like Rockstar or Bungie and releasing a frikkin cartoony Zelda game.

Um no. Its already out on the Gamecube.
Gamecube has the power, it just does not have games. Thats the reason why everybody doesnt like it. It does have the same amount of games coming out that the PS2 has, or even the XBOX.

Lastly, Nintendo reason to NOT buy Rare has actually turned out to be a very good decision considering Rare has not released a single game yet. Once they have, and its good and makes money, then you can say it was a bad move.
And dont diss cartooney Zelda. Just because its not gory and you dont hit up prositutes doesnt mean its not an amazing game and has sold very well.

I wouldn't say that Gamecube is the WORST console. It had at least a dozen good games.

I personally thought that Nintendo 64 was worst. It brought us Zelda and Goldeneye but..

Anyone who says gamecube is the worst console ever is full of shit and knows nothing of gaming.

Remember, Sega 32x, Jaguar, N-gage, etc?

it brought us :

mario 64
mario kart 64
wave race
goldeneye
zelda : oot
perfect dark
smash brothers

To me all the console are good. It just that each one has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Gamecube was a good console to me. It has some very good games like Phantasy Star Online ep1&2, Phantasy Star Online ep.3, and Burnout. PS2 is also good. I love the games GT3, Star Ocean: Till the End of Time, and FFX. Xbox has some good online games like Halo2 and Mechassault 2: Lone Wolf.

You forgot Banjo-Kazooie. Wave Race doesn't deserve to be on that list. That's it though. Unless you count the sequels. DK 64 was pretty good too. Annoyingly slow though...

agreed...and lets add the panasonic 3DO...and the one that i despised the most..the neo geo

The stupidity of some of these posts is absolutely unbelievable.

Nintendo's consoles have always been about quality over quantity. Only the marketing lets it down everytime.

I could go on and on, but I won't even waste my breath, the lame fanboyism going on here is really rediculous. Bunch of zealots.

Nintendo makes one machine that doesn't set the world alight and it gets branded as crap. Utter nonsense.

The N64 was not a failure, it simply paled in sales comparred to the PSone. To say it was a failure is based on absolute bullshit. Not only that, but the N64 revolutionised 3D gaming, and did things with 3D the Playstation could only dream about. How many games have truly bettered Mario 64 in terms of revolutionary gameplay in a 3D platformer? How many games have been as truly ground breaking as Zelda or Goldeneye? The N64 didn't need a huge catalogue of games, when most people only wanted to play it's few amazing titles, for years on end anyway. Because Goldeneye was so good, nobody wanted to play anything else. It annoys me when people think that quantity of games = greatness. The classics of the N64 were the last games I bought that I felt were truly worth the asking price, only Half-Life 2 has made me feel that way about a game since.

And to be honest, I owned a lot more N64 games than PSone games, so that kinda shows how many games were actually worth buying out of the many thousands on the PSone.

As for the Gamecube, it has been a severe dissapointment, but when a decent game comes out, it's worth buying one just for it.

Then there's the other side of the zealots - those who say the XBox is just a PC. Last time I checked, so are the Gamecube and PS2. Just because it has a hard drive means it's a PC? WTH? Lunacy.

good post...ive never understood the strange playstation vs x box vs gamecube mentality...if you work off that principal then you are going to miss out of some magnificent games on the consoles you havent got

perahaps its just a self reassurance mentallity that some people need to slate the other consoles to feel secure in the choice of platform they have made

personally i dont have an x box simply due to the fact that i cant afford one a moment...although i regularly swap my ps2 and my gamecube with a mate for a loan of his

i dont want to miss out on a great game like halo because of some pointless fanboy mentallity...

I enjoy an ol' cube seshion, especially when smash bro's and alcohol are concerned!

Exactly. Every console has something to offer.

I mean, I like to own all the consoles going, but practically it doesn't always work that easily. I own a PSP, but I don't go slagging off the DS. I'd love a DS, it'll have games the PSP can only dream of having, but I seriously can't afford it. There's no need to slag off other consoles with such rabid stupidity and ignorance.

Every good machine has a killer title. Generally, those consoles that fail, don't have a killer app or marketing hook that reels in the customer. The XBox, PS2, N64, PSP, GC, PSOne, SNES, Mega Drive, DS, Gameboy etc etc all had or have at least one killer game that makes the console stand out. These consoles simply cannot be deemed the worst, because they are only the worst in the eyes of idiots and fanboys.

No, your just a console hater.

Worst handheld ever-Neo-Geo

Worst console ever-Sega Saturn

You cant call an console the worst if its been around for 4-5 years.
Consoles like 3DO, Jaquar, Sega CD, Saturn, 32X have failed. You can classify those to be the worst console ever.
NEO-GEO is definitly not the worst handheld. Its somewhat of an underground handheld. N-Gage would probalbly be the worst handheld.

Its ok not the worst all time but I used to have it then upgraded to xbox which is better but Gamecube is still decent

hmmm, this thread makes me have cube urges, i might ask my friend to let me borrow his again.

i like gamecube..i have nintendo 64 and the gamecube and i love it because they have one of my favourite games..Zelda!

the n64 was just a great system, period.

I might go set mine up right now

i personally think the gamecube is a great system, graphically, it is superior to the other ones. Sure they dont have as many games, but some of there games are all about quality. i wish gta series game out, on the cube, remade, like they did with the resident evil series.

n64 was an amazing system, one word goldeneye, probably the best game ever!!!!!!!!

You must not play fighting games then.. sega saturn pwned gaystation when it came to 2d fighters.. thanks the ram expansion port, you got arcade perfect conversions (and the 6 button controller just sealed the whole package)
