Rating: - Still a Great Game System to Own and Enjoy!
The Gamecube. The name says it all for fans of "gaming". Although this system doesn't do anything else besides play games, isn't that what you really want to do? Some of you own the next-generation systems, with all the bells and whistles, but this system only does one thing and it does it well: I plays games and ONLY games.

For fans of Nintendo, this system will be more than satisfying to you. It's also at a great price now, and the availability of games is still in good force so you shouldn't lack for being able to obtain titles you want. Games are also reasonable, some being as low as 5 bucks. Be warned: The "Mario" titles can still go for as much as $30.00 depending on where you shop. Mario will always be popular, no matter what system he's on, past or present.

This sleek little box has some power to it, and the unique gaming format (small discs) makes it great to collect for. Some titles to get for this are: Super Smash Bros. Melee, Tales of Symphonia, Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, Pokemon Colosseum, Pokemon: Gales of Darkness, Super Mario Sunshine, Luigi's Mansion.............the list goes on and on. As I said earlier, most of these can be gotten for under $10.00. And since the Wii is backward compatible, they should be easy enough to get.

Since I've owned my Gamecube, I haven't had ONE problem with it. You'll read on the net that Xbox 360 owners all too frequently suffer the "red rings of death" and their systems crash and burn, requiring delays as Microsoft repairs them or sends them another unit. Nintendo has always made quality systems, and not one of their systems I've owned (and I've owned them all) has broken down on me.

From a collector's standpoint, the Gamecube is now the perfect time to get started on this system. Over 400 titles exist to pick up, plus plenty of other accessories (the Gameboy Player to name one) should keep you busy for a long time.

So, in conclusion, the Gamecube might be the next system you'd like to own. If you're a fan of Nintendo, get this system. It's cheap, it's easy to collect for, and it'll last a lifetime for your gaming needs.
