Ah, Memories of the Gamecube

Gamer Limit writes "For I and many other school children, the summer months are always filled with warm memories – perhaps it is of random events with friends, or simply one's naïve childhood, but, in looking back on it, it's sure to make most people happy. In reflection, I remember that my childhood was spent playing video games, oftentimes with friends or simply by myself, and only just recently have I remembered just how wonderful these memories really are."

Ahhh. Dreamcast.

[Dsnyder]

Ahh what a great 3 month run Dreamcast had. No console will ever compare.

[Tony P]

I like GC too, but what's with the DC hate? :/

Not a successful console, but a good one.

I still have my GC mainly for the GBA adapter, extra special LoZ Majora's Mask/Ocarina, and awesome RE4 Chainsaw controller. Haven't touched either console in ages though. :/

[hitokiri]

I still play my Dreamcast very often, especially Marvel vs Capcom 2, Capcom vs SNK 2, Crazy Taxi, Garou: Mark of the Wolves, Code Veronica (ah... the good old days of Resident Evil) and Ikuruga.

Those are my favorites. I have more but those are the ones I play the most.

[Fullish]

Dreamcast? err?
Personally by far my favourite game from the gamecube was Metal Gear: Twin snakes.

[qface64]

i regret selling my twin snakes so badly
now im lucky enough to find a used copy for like 40 bucks =[

[The Great Melon]

I was so excited when I ran into that game at a used game store. Snatched that up in an instant for $15.

[chrisjc]

I never owned a Gamecube in my life, but I still snatched up Twin Snakes. It's that good.

[qface64]

man i still don't have it Dx

[La Chance]

The Gcube is the worst console Ive owned since the PS1. It wasnt a very bad console but it wasnt as good as the PS2 or xbopx because of the total lack of 3rd party support.

I had some great times though with my GC, my favorite games were Baten Kaitos and Tales of Symphonia and the Residant Evil 1 remake which is a game I'll never ever forget, easily my best game ever right behind FF9 and MGS1

I would be really happy if Namco could bring back Baten Kaitos on next gen consoles.

[GrahameG]

I have a soft spot for my little Gamecube. Loved playing as Link in Soul Calibur.

Resident Evil remake was fantastic too.

The console had such potential and never really got the chance to realise it to the full.

[ThatCanadianGuy]

I still have mine.I play it from time to time.Tho the amount of good games are slim, but, it does bring back memories.

Wind waker for the win !

[The Great Melon]

Although there weren't many, the ones that were good were amazing.

[GUNS N SWORDS]

........i miss my game cube :(

[Shadow Man]

Resident evil 4 looked superior on the gamecube compare to the ps2.

But the ps2 version had extra content.

[eagle21]

Slim catalog but several games packed a punch. Metroid Prime, Windwaker and Super Mario Sunshine are classics. Nintendo needs to get both Sunshine and Windwaker on Wii-make. Prime is coming with the Metroid Trilogy in August for Wii.

[Covenant]

That Metroid package will be AWESOME to have. And I'm going to DL the original game from the Virtual Console soon.

A Samus summer!

[TitanUp]

gamecube has some of the best games i ever played.

[vox]

I never owned a nintendo console personally until the wii.
During the ps2 era I had a lot of ps2 games like DMC, FF X etc but I lost interest in single player games and focused primarily on my PC with HL and mods, flash games, JKA, some free MMO games and gunbound.
Then I borrowed my friends GC.. I played some Sunshine and even beat Eternal Darkness. During the PSX era I used to bash the 64 until my brother got one and I fell in love with Mario 64. When Sunshine launched it wasn't even a thought in my mind some reason, it wasn't like I heard negative reviews or anything. Anyway, the GC basically got me back into console gaming.. eventually I beat DMC, FFX, SOTC.. but I feel like I've lost interest in Sony franchises for now. I need a GC controller and memory card so I can take advantage of the BC.. I'd like to play Paper Mario, Wind Waker and Geist.

[eagle21]

Very fast delivery and great customer service. :)

[The Great Melon]

Sounds like you need variety. Rotating through PlayStation, Xbox, PC, and Nintendo gives you a different experience rather than focusing on classic titles that now have sequels. But whatever, Wind Waker was one of the best of the series along with Majora's mask. Spent many hours with those two games.

[Nihilism]

i loved my gamecube. Windwaker, soul calibur, and roguye squadron 3 were my favs, and shoot me for saying so but i liked mario sunshine

[syvergy]

Still have my GC, its fantastc :D

[Covenant]

The best console (along with the Dreamcast) that (almost) nobody bought.

Wind Waker, Geist, Mario Sunshine, Rogue Squadron, Eternal Darkness, Luigi's Mansion, Tales of Symphonia, even Chibi Robo...some great games on the 'Cube. Good thing they're all backwards-compatible with the Wii.

[Cheeseknight28]

Don't forget Viewtiful Joe, Metroid Prime, Paper Mario 2, Super Smash Bros Melee, Pikmin 1, and Pikmin 2.

[xino]

Tales of Symphonia will be the only game and reason for me to have a gamecube, and that game will be the only game I'll ever play on GC

[gumgum99]

I'll have to thank my launch PS2 for getting DRE 2 years after I got it because I would've never experienced Gamecube otherwise.

The Nintendo Gamecube was the first Nintendo console I have ever owned since the NES.

[TheColbertinator]

I still have it with my copies of RE4,MGS:Twin Snakes and Tales of Symphonia,three of my favorite games in the past decade

[hitokiri]

The GC was actually a very good console with a lot of classic titles. I'm glad I still have Twin Sankes, don't know why everyone hates on it, it was a good game regardless of all the over the top bull.

Resident Evil remake actually had very good graphics, cant even play the original anymore without comparing it (but I still play the original too).

My Soul Calibur II with Link, Rogue Leader and Viewtiful Joe are among my favoritestoo. Oh and Mteroid Prime :).

Good Times

[dogmeat eater]

It was ahead of its time. I kind of wish Nintendo would of gone instead of sega. Sega made much better consoles. They where always one step ahead of the game. I still pray that Sega will make a new console. It would be really sweet. Well at least Sega still makes games. Note to Sega, Please stop making bad sonic games! Your making a fool out of your mascot.

[dogmeat eater]

After the N64, I never really had a good Nintendo experience. The GC was ok, the Wii just makes me angry.

[Eiffel]

I still own my Gamecube. Have around 24 games with it. Me and my brother will pop in Monkey Ball 1/2 and have a blast. I remember getting it for my Birthday and it came bundled with Super Mario Sunshine(One of the best Mario titles in my opinion) even including the perma guide. I miss those years so badly..

[vox]

oh man monkey ball
that was just one of those games where me and a group of friends would sit around until we'd lose, pass the controller and have a good time
insane story.. why was there even a story?
then we'd play the party games.. even more fun
really didn't care for the wii version though

[The_Zeitgeist]

I play Mario Kart with my son all the time. I have to admit that my personal favorite two gamecube games would have to be Resident Evil 0 and Eternal Darkness.
