Yes, it is.

General Kaliero
I agree. The 'Cube doesn't have as many big games as the other systems, but when the good ones come out, they really shine. My Cube game collection has all the best of the best for the Cube, and they're still good enough to go back and play again and again, every one of them.

mr.smiley
it is unde ,but i still don' think it's better than x box or ps2

Mainstream
me too..but it's a decent enough gaming console

gls
most under rated would probably be dreamcast.

over rated would be playstation.

Mainstream
playstation...is..more..powerful..than...you could ...possible ...imagine.dader

Dreamcast is a bit more underrated than GC. First of the next gen consoles to really provide online support, excellent first and third party titles (though limited in total number, just like GC), VMU interactivity... yeah, I would give the nod to Dreamcast since it experienced a premature death. Still, it has gotten bashed to no end, and as I've mentioned in past posts, there are a hell of lot worse consoled that have come and gone.

game cube is just plain gay really

gamecube is extremly under rated not as bad as dreamcast but still

I agree with you shadow12....no machine is more underrated than Dreamcast....but Dreamcast makes the Game Cube look like a PS2

How can a console be gay?

Does it have sex with another console instead of an TV?

I can see the GC getting lovestruck from looking into the Dreamcast's VMU Memory Cards and think it has a electrion personal connection due to the wierd peripherals.

Or maybe it had affair with the PS2 and using that affair to have GTA babies.

WTF, Shaggy? At no point in this entire thread have you even come close to giving an intelligible, let alone rational, reason for why the Gamecube is, um, "gay". Why, because it has several child-oriented games mixed in its library? Seems that would fit your demographic, given your writing ability. Or is it because the ergonomic styling of the GC controller is just too advanced for your feeble mind to grasp? Your lack of explanation leads me to believe that either of these is a possibility.

Try putting a little more thought into your postings instead of banging on the keyboard like a little monkey who lost his banana.

If I want to watch a DVD, I'll use my Samsung HD931, thank you. DVI capability is so much better on HD type televisions, that I don't need to look for a movie playing feature on a console.

I will give you credit on the CD soundtrack option, though. And for at least attaching SOME sort of reason for why you consider GC to be gay. Bad reason IMO, but a reason nonetheless.

ScarFace Clone
well i will just watch a dvd on my playstation 2 or xbox witch both have way better graphics the GC and also Nintendo needs to stop milking mario! the only thing i give cridet for the game cube is The new zelda game and MGS twin snakes

For starters, you forgot both Metroids, the ports of Ikaruga and Skies of Arcadia, two Legend of Zelda collections in addition to Wind Waker and the upcoming Twilight Princess, Resident Evil 4, Rebel Strike, Eternal Darkness, Viewtiful Joe (I list this as it came out on GameCube long before it was ported to PS2), the upcoming Fire Emblem, Geist and Killer 7. I didn't even need to bring up any Mario titles in that list.

Blue Dragon
GameCube is great! XBox is so pants! PS2 great also!

dAngEr_Is_gO!
Tough question. The Dreamcast is definately the most underrated console point blank. Of the current crop the Cube is the most underrated. In some ways it gets the credit it deserves but it is often sold short.

Blue Dragon
I was going to get a DreamCast too...because they had Sonic games I really wanted one...I didn't & it's a good job! The console was popular for no more than 10 minutes!

dAngEr_Is_gO!
It's a shame really because it had some fantastic games. I still drag it out from time to time to play something.

ragesRemorse
I think the sega saturn is the most underated system ever.

dAngEr_Is_gO!
Got one of those too and yes it was tragically underrated, even by Sega themselves. Still I think the Dreamcast was ahead of it's time.

shadow12
they released the dreamcast to early thats why if they would of waited a bit longer it would of done better

The MISTER
Gamecube would have done alot better if it didn't look like a purple bulding block. The colors purple, pink, and yellow should obviously never be used as the standard for ANY game system that's supposed to compete for the attention of people past puberty.

The design for the NES was cooler.

The discs are sweet though.

At least they expanded to include black and platinum...

shadow12
yeah i have platinum

They need more Sega mascots, maybe that's why...?
Everyone knows Mario, Zelda, Kirby etc for Nintendo.
Crash, Spyro, Lara etc for Sony.
Sega...Sega? You just think Sonic, well you do don't you? Well I do, I don't know any Sega characters..isn't Megaman a Sega character?

shadow12
there also shining force from sega

Sonic was the face of Sega for all those years... which is why it should come to mind first. And Megaman is Capcom, not Sega.

Benjio
No, Dreamcast is in my opinion, just as an answer to the main question

There are loads of Sonic team mascots, let alone Sega!
Sonic, Nights, AiAi, Ash (from PSO), The Samba de Amigo Monkey and more (can;t remember the BR main guys name, it was like Sho Amabarme or sommit)

Then of course theres the other team's characters, like Ryu (from Shenmue), Slash (from Crazy Taxi), Beat (from JSRF), Akira (from Virtua Fighter) and theres bound to be loads more!

ragesRemorse
gamecube isnt underated because it cost half the price of the other consoles.

I sort of know Nights, is Samba de Amigo Monkey the monkey with the maracas? If so I am slighty familiar with this also.

I am not too familair with Capcom, I know that fighting game, I think it was for Xbox, with all comic characters in, called Capcom something...I think...had MagaMan, SpiderMan etc...

Who are you to judge?

Smasandian
The only true mascots are Mario and Sonic.

Where would companies consoles be without those two.

Zelda would be another one.

Other than that, there is no other true mascot. IF there is and Im forgetting it, they dont measure up to those two (maybe 3).

But wait... don't you remeber Sofia from Battle Arena Toshinden? That mascot lasted about a month... smile

Nintendo = Mario
Sega = Sonic
Sony = ? Is it Crash? I think more likely...

Big Evil
Your mom is under-rated.

Red Superfly
People use "mascots" in order to defend Nintendo and to criticise Sony.

Why?

Since when is a mascot going to produce anything good? Sure, there's a nice bit of branding, but to be honest I haven't played a decent Sonic or Mario themed game since the likes of the Mega Drive and N64.

I think we should always go beyond this whole mascot debate, and just recognise the fact that maybe, just maybe, the mascot is what Nintendo needs to kick out. Sony's strongest marketing gimmicks comes from the fact it doesn't really have a mascot, it doesn't favour one theme over another. It is in many ways, more universal than Nintendo can ever hope to be, because it doesn't have a "kiddy" cartoon mascot.

Now, I love Mario, have done all my life. Love Zelda, love all that stuff. But I do think Nintendo need to stop with the franchises. Make one Mario game every so often. Make one Zelda game every now and then. Don't make Mario Tennis, make a PROPER Tennis game. I get the feeling if Nintendo would try and make some genuinely good games, with NEW characters, it would help it's kiddy image and seem more mature, in that it is willing to move on.

I honestly would wish Nintedno would take their fantastic, original ideas and simply make new characters. They keep making Mario Golf, Donkey Kong this, Donkey Kong that. Fantastic games that would be better off if they didn't have the mascots tied to them. Make some serious games. Bring back the NES days when Nintendo just made whatever the hell they wanted to, and didn't feel compelled to slap Marios face on everything.

Smasandian
Well a. The game's sell well and b. it would not help the image because all of the Nintendo fans will have a shitfit because they cant play the characters they love. Nintendo would lose more fans than they would gain.

The Mario sport games are actually really fun to play. So its a Mario game, but Mario tennis was great. I rather play that then Top Spin, or whatever it was called.
They have to stop with the Mario Party games though. Eek.

Super Mario Sunshine wasnt the best of the series, but it wasnt a crappy game at all. People have really high standards when it came to Mario. Overhyped, yes but is it a horrible game no. Its just not the best.
Zelda games on the other hand have always been amazing. Wind Waker was awesome but the look of it turned people off. The gameplay though was fantastic.

I rather have my old mascot than some new mascot. Look at the countless games that have the worst mascots ever.

I am 100% with you here! The Mega Drive, those we the good days... :happy I was 7, I loved playing Sonic especially, some more favourites or good ones were:
Theme Park
Coloums (spelt wrong I think...)
This boy with a magic football, I forgot name..fun though...
Lemings

Can't really think of any...it's been a while...
Who needs Mario playing tennis? Mario is Mario! Racing games are okay for Mario, this is fine. I personally wouldn't mind them doing a Sonic & Zelda racing game, get the weapons, skills etc to...yeah.


Mario Golf, another...we already had a Tennis/Kart/Golf on N64...didn't they have a Tennis, I'm not too sure? I have Mario Kart Double Dash, older one I couldn't control... mad

Neil MeqVren
I don't know if this was mentioned but as far back as I can recall Japan still makes DC games. They are just not inported to the states. It's a shame really, some of the games look good.
