Does anyone still actually own a Gamecube?

If I have a Gamecube ?
Sure !
I have bought a GC when it came out and now I have still the console and 24 games:

Nintendo First & Second Party Games

Anîmal Crossing
F-Zero GX
Kirby's Air Ride
Luigi's Mansion
Mario Golf
Mario Kart Double Dash
Mario Tennis
Metroid Prime
Metroid Prime 2 Echoes
Paper Mario - The Tousand Year Door
Pikmin
Pikmin 2
StarFox Adventures
Super Mario Sunshine
Super Smash Bros. Melee
The Legend of Zelda - The Wind Waker
Wario World (The only bad Game I bought)

Third Party Games

Baten Kaitos
Final Fantasy Christal Chronicles
Resident Evil 4
Sonic Adventures 2 Battle
Soul Calibur II
Star Wars Rogue Squadron II
Tales of Symphonia

I know the console hasn't a good design or a strong Third Party Support, but I think that the most part of games I have are good-quality games, and there also MUST-HAVE-GAMES like Metroid Prime 1 & 2 or Resident Evil 4.
 
I'm sure that the 100K or so people who bought a GCN last month sold it immediately because every game for the system is awful and Sony should be hailed as the new king of everything.
 
Nope, sold mine a few months ago. Hated it even more than my n64. I am not buying another Nintendo console again (I will still buy their portables) unless they get some massive 3rd party support. A console whos exclusives include a decent title every blue moon and a glut of Mario themed games does not equal a good console.
 
I'm borrowing a system and I picked up Metroid and F-Zero.

Prime is pretty damn slow and F-Zero seems off in one way or another.

I was at the Redmond EB and they were building a little play fort out of used Gamecubes. They asked me if I wanted one for $50, and I had to decline.

That sounds about as fablicable as 18 million people selling their Gamecubes. OF COURSE, the majority of GC owners still have the console including myself
 
I don't understand why people sell/buy consoles so quickly.

You get only a few bucks for it for something you paid several hundred dollars for.

Keep it to play it, be a materialistic whore, or hold onto it and sell it to a materialistic whore on ebay in 20 years when it becomes rare for several times the $ you could get now. At the very least it's value would appreciate with inflation, and hopefully in value too if it becomes rare.

I never sell my games. I keep 'em all. Even the bad ones.

until recently i never sold games, but lately i'm glad to be rid of games i'm never going to play again. if old games i don't like help pay for new games, then they're doing more than they would cluttering up my shelves. i think i'll sell my gamecube after i play twilight princess.

and i don't think you understand how inflation works.
 
Still got it. It's only seen love twice this year though. Once for Resident Evil 4 and once for Killer 7. Maybe Fire Emblem will be be able to save the day.
 
I still have mine, actually I organized my ghetto gaming pad in the unfinished basement that everyone liked so much, the cube still holds a spot on the table of gaming. I don't really use it all but it's there if anyone in my house wants to use it or if I feel like playing RE4 again. I thought about grabbing Fzero but even 30 bucks for a game I'd play once seems a little odd.


Gamecube is the proud owner of the 1 game I've had that I never played even once- Pikmin, which was purchased for 15 bucks at blockbuster video in the summer of 2001. I'm firmly in the camp that the system was kind of waste- were it not for the resident evil remake and RE4 I may never have picked up the system.
 
Funny but my GC is my most played system, closely followed by my PS2, with my Xbox a very distant third. I have 27 GC games, 15 PS2 games, and 9 Xbox games.
 
I still play my Cube more than I should (damn you Animal Crossing!) but I just got an Action Replay for it, mainly for REmake, RE0, and RE4.

RE + Cheats = mega Fun

Suprise, people actually play stuff on their GCNs.
 
I also got one and I love it pretty much. Although I haven't touched it for any single-player game for months now. I am way more willed to play on my NDS instead of sitting in front of the TV.

It just happens from time to time that me and a few friends are having a game-evening on which we play mario kart, 007, pac-man (you know, that game which you only got as a gift when you buy pac-man world or some other special game) or mario golf.

but if we wouldn't have these game-evenings my GC unfortunately would just catch dust until TP comes out. I think then the GC shows the last flickers of life before it dies :-(

And I still play it more than my PS2!





Sleep on that!

I may sleep with a DS under my pillow, but a GameCube? I may not be a princess able to detect a pea, but that would present troubles.
 
I still own my Cube,simply because I don't sell systems. Its still nasty next to whats going on with the Xbox and PS2,I get way more mileage with those two. Nintendo needs to get it together for 3rd party next generation.
 
I sold off all my 3rd party titles and kept just the 1st party / "exclusives" like Cubivore, etc

GCN will be getting some Fire Emblem sex soon enough

You should see mine :D
I'm selling a lot of it soon though... like Demi, I'm keeping a lot of the 1st party stuff (except Mario fucking Party).

For me it'll be Zelda. I haven't been paying attention to its hype. Maybe thats a good thing as I'll enjoy the final product without expecting the world from it.
 
Quite frankly I don't know what you are bitching about. Yeah, the Nintendo consoles lack 3rd party support but when we're speaking about quality in the gameplay there is noone like them. I don't know why you people still think that there's something good about playing mediocre titles. The Gamecube has 2 titles that are in the top 10 of all time (according to gamerankings.com). For comparison there are only one Xbox and one PS2 title this generation.


No offence, just stating the facts!

Because without 3rd parties consoles aren't nearly as good. Theres no ignoring it,the GameCube is on life support without them right now. To pass off 3rd parties as "mediocer" is short changing your enjoment of a console.
 
There were some gems on the GC (Metroïd Prime, RE4, FZero). And it's so cheap it doesn't deserve to be hated. But there's no denying it was a disaster for Nintendo. Count the Nintendo haters in this forum and you'll have an idea of the recovering image challenge Nintendo faces because of the GC. People started to leave Nintendo in the N64 era, though N64 top games were considered as genre defining. With the GC they made too many bad decisions (purple console, broadband adaptator farce, bad planning), and the treatment they applied to their biggest franchises (Mario Kart, Mario Sunshine, even Zelda) were simply below expectations. Does it mean Nintendo lost its touch? Not at all. Their DS lineup and their bully Revolution show they just needed to reinvent themselves.
 
I still have a cube, but only for 1st party games and the few good exclusives such as RE4, ToS and MGS: TTS. Its not been touched in ages though, it has enough dust on it to cover a human! It will be played again once Mario smash strikers comes out though :D
 
I re-bought a gamecube recently with 10 games and 2 controllers. It was the first system I ever sold because I needed the money and I regretted selling it after I had shipped it out. Glad I have one back. There are some great games on it for sure.

What is that in the middle on top? Looks like a little dildo. :lol


I still play my cube more than the other 2 systems, I have like 30 some cube games vs 12 ps2/12 xbox.
 
well after my failed search attempts for SoTC I tried to buy Fire Emblem, but the tweaker at gamecrazy wouldn't let me leave without a used copy of pikimin :lol

So I got pikimin and Fire Emblem and had to go dig my cube out of my friends closet :lol

Haven't put in FE yet but pikimin is pretty fun, it will at least be a good game to bust out when I babysit my cousin or something.

edit: I am a little concerned I only have 10/30 ship parts but my guy thinks it will be ok to travel through space at light speed :lol
 
I never quite got around to buying a cube and I think I'll wait for rev to play the games I have picked up for cheap (beach spikers, Viewtiful joe 1+2).
 
I still have mine. I want to play Fire Emblem. RE4 was great! Mario Baseball was good for a short while. Battalion Wars was...not very good. Ah well. There's something worth playing on it every 3-4 months.

Console wars bullshit aside, it's still hard to believe a game system this lame was produced by the makers of the NES. That's really sad.
 
The only current gen system i have is a gamecube. Bought it about a year ago and enjoy finding alot good games for cheap. Sold my PS2 because i never played it a few months prior to buying the cube. Still have my modded PS1, NES, DS and Gameboy SP. The funny thing is whenever the inlaws come over, they always want to play the NES.
