Well, i've owned the Nintendo Gamecube for nearly 3 months now (its our anniversary on June 1st) and i'd like to express my thoughts on the console in this relativly pointless topic. In fact don't even read this, i'm just gonna babble on about my experiances of having the console and what not.
I first became interested in the Gamecube about last November. Being a hardcore Xbox fan for sometime, I was shocked at my sudden change of heart but I wanted one so badly. So on March the 1st 2003 I traded some stuff in and purchased my Gamecube. And who'd of thought how good an Xbox and a Gamecube look next to each other...
Quite a few GC titles interest me, which is why I brought the console in the first place. Right now I own 4 Gamecube games, and here are the ratings i'd give em: -
Resident Evil - 9/10
Super Mario Sunshine - 9/10
Super Smash Bros Melee - 8/10
Pikmin - 6/10
Well, i'm not exactly loaded with cash so purchasing games can be difficult, but i'm semi-happy with the games I have now.
Resident Evil is scary, puzzling, full of atmosphere and holds some excellent eye candy! Definatly my fave GC game so far.
Super Mario Sunshine is decent I guess, but I think the "jet pack" thing was a bad idea, kinda turns it into a generic platformer. But still, Its a fun game to play at times, and frustrating at others....
Super Smash Bros Melee is really fun once you get into it, Loads of game options and stuff, I love it! I've never tried multiplayer mind, I go round to my mates houses to play multiplayer Halo (8 player) none of them are interested in the Gamecube.
Pikmin, Sigh, Used to be a really cool game at first, But i've just given up on it cause its so god damn GAY! The Pikmin get stuck behind something, attack things when you don't want them to, Or fall into the water for no reason. ITS SO ANNOYING! And its uber-patronising aswell. Has the ideas for a great game, but it makes me want to throw my Gamecube out the window.
Enough about the games, The console is extremely well designed! Its so small and sleek, I love it! It fits perfectly next to my mighty Xbox and brings some color into the area. The controller is pretty decent, The only annoying thing is the stupid Jingle at the start-up of the machine, still, It's all good.
In the near future I hope to pick up quite a few other Gamecube titles, Zelda, Metroid Prime and Burnout 2 ect ect.
I still think Nintendo had a poor E3, and their marketing of the console is poor..
So thats my thoughts of the Gamecube, Brilliant console, Brilliant Games, Brilliant Developer behind it.
I'll shut up now.

You don't like Pikmin?
If I could, i'd e-mail you my fist and punch you on the nose....but I can't....so I won't.
Pikmin never annoyed me in the slightest, sure they sometimes fight things that you don't ask them too but you just round 'em up and off you go again. Then again though, I am the Pikmin master.

He's talking about his knees.
Well seeing as you seem to be quite well balanced, let us know whatyou think of it after a few more months.
I hated Pikmin.
It bored me to death.
Well, I blame it on being timed.
I do not like being rushed.
It annoys me.
