    GameCube was the first console in the house that was actually MINE and not my sibling’s, and so it will forever be the best to me, especially with games like:

    • Super Mario Sunshine
    • Animal Crossing
    • Mario Kart: Double Dash
    • Super Smash Bros Melee
    • The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker

    And others I’m surely forgetting

      I’m sorry but when I hear Nintendo gamers talk about all their games it’s like “I play a lot of different games like: ‑ Mario ‑ Mario ‑ Mario with a green hat ‑ Mario with boxing gloves ‑ Mario in a car” 😁

        Haha so true.

        Although looking at all the game announcements last week it felt like a lot of them were the same game, so a similar situation these days I think.

        I mean, they are different games with different mechanics.

        Mario Tennis and Super Mario Bros are less similar to one another than Call of Duty and Battlefield, despite them being from the same publisher and having the same characters.

        OK, but let’s be real, Nintendo isn’t competing on the strength of their hardware, its that they (used to) have IPs that slap. If I had a choice to play a 3rd party game on a Nintendo console or PC, I’m picking PC.

        Nowadays, I am not a Nintendo fan. I don’t like their practices and either the IPs aren’t as good anymore or maybe I’ve aged out of the demographic, so I don’t really have a horse in the fight. But the point is, if you’re gaming on a Nintendo console, its probably because you’re playing a Nintendo IP.

      And I love it.

          Great game tbh. Very graphically forward for the time, and it is also short as well. The vibes are impeccable as well. It’s been a while since I’ve emulated it (2016), but I’m guessing it has gotten much better since then. (physical copy goes for above $60 today.)
