Nintendo GameCube



The Nintendo GameCube is Nintendo's fourth home console system. Though it had initially strong sales, its release over a year after the Playstation 2, as well as other mistakes by Nintendo, caused it to lag behind in sales. Due to disappointing sales figures, Nintendo's lack of care for online gaming, and a controller with a smaller button count, the console also lost a lot of third party support, which ultimately meant that the library of games to select from was not as extensive as the other two consoles.

Nintendo fans, however, frantically support the system turning a blind eye to any of its faults, which is often referred to as fanboyism. However, that said, the 'Cube does have a good amount of quality 1st and 2nd party games, which are sure to please buyers of the system such as The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Super Mario Sunshine, F-Zero GX and Metroid Prime 1 & 2.
