How has the Gamecube improved from the Nintendo 64? I don't know about anyone else but i think the N64 was a brilliant console! The Gamecube certainly tops it, but why?
Well, the graphics have certainly improved but the size of it is a bit off putting, from a rather small console like the Nintendo to go to a quite big console like the Gamecube, isn't right i don't think, but it probably needs the bigger space to improve.
It is nice to see some of the old games on the Gamecube, that has probably boosted it's amount of buyers.The one game i am glad to see on Gamecube is the good old game Super Smash Bros.
Now to the price, ok it's a lot but god it's worth it, and put it this way it's cheaper than the PS2 and X-Box.
So it's a good console with some of the oldies, Yeah it IS better!

So your saying you prefer the N64?

The N64, pound for pound, had better games AND value for money. It had the best shoot-em-up ever, best platformer ever, one of the best kart games ever, one of the best RPGs ever, etc. etc.
The Gamecube is more developer friendly (something that crippled the N64), but with stuff like cel shaded Zelda, and still no Rare games they might even be going backwards.
But they're selling better (I think). Go figure.

Its simple!!
Nintendo fans bought the nes or snes.
They got to know nintendos lovable characters.
When the n64 came out they all saw they lovable characters in 3-D.
Now the gamecube has come out all the characters have been improved graphics wise and the new games mean its time for a new adventure.
Aslong as its nintendo, nintendo fans can't get enough!!

On the day of it's release, yes. Soon after, Nintendo lowered the price of the console, which angered those who bought it on the release date. However, Nintendo offered those people some free stuff. I personally waited until it's first Christmas to get one, at which time it was just £100. I remember buying Diddy Kong Racing from SR that Christmas, too. Anyway, my friend was one of those who bought the N64 on it's release date. He was given a free game of his choice. Hmmm, I wonder where I've heard that idea recently.

Hmmm. The size of the GameCube is not big. It's very compact and light.

Smash Bros. is a very good example. With Zelda and MarioKart on the way, I'm sure those loyal to Nintendo will be satisfied.

The GameCube is actually very cheap. Remember, the N64 was £250 when it was first released. £130 is a very good deal.

The only problem I would have with this topic, even though I own a GameCube, is that it may spark console wars. I don't think anyone wants a repeat of yesterday. It went on for hours!
