The only game that appeals to me there is SSB: Melee, I dont know what it is but I just cant seem to get interested in the Cube.
Animal Crossing
Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem
Mario Party 4
Starfox Adventures
Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Pikmin
Luigi's Mansion
Get some high calibre games for it, then you'll see what an excellent console it is.
and i have to say i like the gamecube the least...
i don't NOT like it....but the games just haven't really grabbed much of my attention.
i didn't like rogue leader, super monkey ball is only good in really short bursts...wave race is okay but i have better racers on my other two consoles
mario sunshine is pretty good though :D
and the resi games...which i like but i don't like the control scheme.
i'm gonna keep it cos there are games that do interest me like zelda and metroid prime.
although i do have my concerns about the metroid prime control scheme cos it's not like usual console fps. left analogue stick for moving and looking left and right, right analogue stick for switching weapons, left trigger for strafing and autolocking, right trigger for looking up and down....probably take some getting used to.
pikmin and luigi's mansion does intrigue me but they're meant to be really short...gonna wait till they drop in price.
A CRIME.

I own a Playstation 2, and a GameCube. This year, I will also be picking up an Xbox. Out of the three, the only one I couldn't do without is Nintendo's machine?
Why? I've had it half the time of my PS2, and already I've got a much better selection of games for it - in quality and quantity. The great thing about the GameCube is that there's a really good game for any gamer, so no-one's going to be disappointed. Currently, I have nine:
Animal Crossing (US Import)
Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem
Resident Evil
Mario Party 4
Starfox Adventures
Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast
Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader
Super Mario Sunshine
Super Smash Bros. Melee
All of which I have enjoyed intensely, and consider must buys. Another thing worth noting, is that they're all exclusives - with the exception of Jedi Knight II, available on Xbox also. It's a fantastic console, and these accusations of the company being 'childish' are naive and ill-found. If you want some adult titles, there's plenty on offer - from Resident Evil, to Metroid Prime. That brings me onto the next point - the future. Arguably, the GameCube has the best 2003 line up than any other console and whether you agree or not - with games such as Zelda, F-Zero GC, Final Fantasy: CC and tonnes of other exclusives - you wouldn't want to miss out.
Thanks, I'm honoured.
