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 selection games to choose from was not nearly as extensive as the GameCube's main competitors, Playstation 2 and X-box.

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