We all love the Cube but what was your reason for buying it in the first place? Was it for a specific game or series? Or out of loyalty to Nintendo? Or was it the lower price point that appealed to you? What were people's reasons behind picking up this great console?

Wanted to play games at a nice affordable price. Smash Bros and Agent Under Fire were my first 2 games. Started to drum up a collection of 72 GC games and still looking for more. Liked everything about it from the graphics to the controller.

Tired of the PC and the price were the reasons for me.

EB Games had a sale where you got the Cube, extra controller and choice of two games for something like $150.00 and that's what sold me.

For the games, I picked Knockout Kings and Tiger Woods 2003.

I'm probably one of the only people who bought the Gamecube because Godzilla Destroy All Monsters Melee was in it's library. lol

That was the ONLY deciding factor in me getting it.

got it for a good deal (just hope it keeps working) and I really like the games. I only have smash bros right now but I plan to get Zelda wind waker and tp, metroid 1 (and 2 if I like the first), mario tennis, mario kart, and mario sunshine. enough great games to warrant a purchase of the cube.

I own NES, Gameboy (original to SP), SNES, N64, and DS. I love Zelda, Metroid, and Mario games. For Gamecube, I wanted Star Wars Rogue Leader, Tales of Symphonia, Skies of Arcadia Legends, Pikmin, Super Smash Brothers Melee, and others.

I had an NES,SNES,N64 So I'd continue with a Gamecube. It was an alright system at times, But the cube died on me. I was loyal to Nintendo. It hadsome great games for it.

I got it because either X-box was to expensive or not out and I had a PS2 at my dads.

The first game i got with it was Super Smash Bros. Melle... Good times.

Metroid Prime. I was considering a PS2 but you can't play Metroid Prime on it so I got a GameCube. I have been playing video games since the mid 80s and I have to say that the Cube is one of the best systems I have ever owned, and I did buy a PS2 later on by the way. It probably is my favorite coming to think of it, never had better quality games, even if they were few.

well my parents asked what i wanted for christmas, and i wanted a new console because my ps1 was getting dusty.
and i knew my parents wouldnt spend over $200 on a ps2 or xbox for me, and gamecube was the cheapest one. so i asked for a gamecube and got it. :)

The Gamecube was my first home Nintendo console, the main reason I got it, was it was really cheap second hand in Gamestation, a few years ago and I wanted to play a Zelda game, so I got Wind Waker with it the collector's ed, second hand too. Also got Mario Kart: Double Dash as well.

Since then I got a n64 second hand, also got a Wii, but never played it, so I just cash it in. But I still have my wonderful Gamecube.

I got it because I wanted another gaming machine and I didn't have enough money to put towards the computer I wanted (I was looking for a $2K+ alienware). I've since sold my GC as I now have a Wii, but I did enjoy the Mario Sunshine, the Metroid Prime, and the masterpiece that is Resident Evil 4 (which I'm loving all over again in the Wii edition)

I struggled with the choice of cube and xbox when the two systems launched and ended up getting an xbox. Several months later in June I saw a comercial on TV for Eternal Darkness. I was tired of the two games I had (Halo and Dead or Alive) and went out the next day and got a black cube, Eternal Darkness, Pikmin, and Smash Bros. Glad I did because the cube may be my all time fav system.

SSBM.. no really, that's the only reason. After I had gotten it though, I realised there were so many other great games to get. I don't regret buying it one bit.

Super Mario Sunshine, SSBM and Zelda.

Although it was untouched in comparison to my xbox, wasn't a bad system at all.

  1. Legend of Zelda series
  2. Resident Evil series
  3. Few Nintendo exclusives.

Other than that, the GC was pretty much a third console to me. GC died to me when Perfect Dark Zero was never going to come out for it. Xbox just pretty much took most of my gaming time.

Because I wanted to play SSBM... that was pretty much my only original reason for buying it, seeing as in early 2002 most of the good games weren't out yet.

I decided to get a Gamecube due to the fact that I love Nintendo and have been with them since the NES days. Playing my favorite franchises was the sole reason I got the Gamecube.

It was for 3 reasons: Super Smach Bros. looked amazing to me, the Cube was only $100, and I was getting a little bored of my PS2.

Well the main reason was I figured it was about time I upgrade from my PS1, this was early 2004. I saw at a local electronics store they were still doing the Gamecube bundled with Mario Kart Double Dash as a Christmas deal. The whole thing was pretty cheap too. So I decided to go for it.

There were games that interested me and it was worth the $150 it cost at the time, so I bought it.

I got mine about a month ago for 50 buks from EB. I bough it with an 8mb mem card and zelda TP. I hav an xbox, so I just realsied that I've been missing out on my favourite franchise all this time (my favourite game of ALL TIME is LOZ OOT) I'm getting wind waker soon, and I'm also looking at getting super smash bro melee, rogue leader and RE4. my brother wants coloseum.

I really like the Cube, even though it's old at the moment. I REALLY like the controller, the console itself, the set up. and the graphics are good. it has better graphics than PS2. Some games such as RE4 are up to par with xbox. it's a great system, and it's still alive in my books. I willmight evendo the same with wii, once it's old if they bring out a new zelda.

So in a nutchell, I bought the GC out of loyalty to nintendo, and because it has some great sequels to my favourite N64 games.

P.S ZELDA IS THE BEST!!!

ahhhhh, i remember getting the cube the christmas of its release, one of the greatest chistmases of all time, but damn its hard to remember what games i got with it, i know got the zeldas collectors disk witht eh 4 zeldas, mario kart DD, some childish godzilla game that i never played, cant remember the other one

but i defenitly asked for the cube in support of nintendo and the price (mainly so i could get more games for it on xmas)

but a few yrs ago i had to give it up to a buddy of mine cause i was in some major debt with him:cry:
atleast i got my powerful pc for gaming, always thought the pc/nintendo system was the perfect combo

but lately ive been seriously considering to pick one up just for zelda TP
