Gamecube was the best last gen.

The Gamecube was the best because it had the best combination of....

Graphics: Very great Nintendo 1st party games and very good graphics in all 3rd party games. Had the least amount of bugs reported in games too. Brought games like Viewtiful Joe and Resident Evil 4 into the world before they were ported to other consoles. Had Great framerates in all games that the ps2 couldn't run without being choppy (for the same games). Graphics that were mind blowing in games like Twilight Princess/Starfox Adventures/REmake/MP1/2, etc. and so many more! Better Textures and Aliasing than PS2 and truely shines in most games.

Games: Very TIGHT collection of classics and games that have the most replay value. SSBM, etc. Kind of like a Chocolate Sampler. The best of every genre all rolled into the GC. Also had the best ratio of good games to bad games, almost having three times as many good games(7 or higher) to a bad game compared to PS2/XBOX. Had something for everyone. Kids and adults. So many memorable games and characters...

Console had the least problems and lasts on average the longest without dying. Many ppl still have their original purple ones whereas a PS2 lasts 2-3 years on average and has a much higher failure rate/disc error.

Cheapest from the getgo because no DVD playback, but it's a game machine, not a DVD player. $200 as opposed to $300 for a more POWERFUL console is pretty significant. No online play which isn't a problem for me because I have so many friends. 4 controller ports as a consolation.

I have to disagree although I did enjoy mine.funnymario

:lol: The gamecube was one of the worst systems of the past few gens

The only systems worse are the Jaguar, Saturn, and the 3D0

Gamecube was my fav because of Smash Bros Melee, unlimited replay value. Nothing better than knocking back a few brews with some friends and playing ssbm for hours no stop. :Pumcommon

Is it fact or opinion that Gamecube was the best last generation system?

The answer to this question is obvious...

Gamecube is utter trash.

but if things keep going the way they're going, it might end up being better than Wii.

Actually the GameCube is still alive and kicking, but with a new controller.

Anyway. The only reason why PS2 and Xbox have had more bad games than the GC is because there weren't any titles being released on the platform to be bad. It had such a LIGHT (not tight mate) collection of games to chose. There was like what 10 games actually worth owning and once you got them that was it. You'd had pretty much amass the completed "Dream Team" of GC titles.

You were probably one of the few (and by few I mean the entire GC population) people that each day would reassured them-self the system would bounce back and become king of the console war.

I completely disagree.

When a console with a 5 year lifespan gets bested by a console that only survived 2.5 years in terms of AAAs, I would hardly consider that the best.

No ps2 game appealed to my last gen.xbox was a great console also, but i had more fun with the gamecube.but PC always takes the best cake.VACASCULIADAS

Really? That's unfortunate....

Why?

It's unfortanate that no game from the PS2 appealed to you considering it had the largest variety of games. I assume you didn't have the chance to play many of the good ones...unfortunate (or your tastes differ greatly from mine or the vast majority).

I thought both were pretty good,

The xbox was the one I didnt like but boy they got it right for this gen

The GC was my favorite console last gen, because I just enjoyed the games more. The PS2 games just weren't as fun IMO. There were a few exceptions, such as Sly Cooper 2 & 3, ICO, and Psychonauts, but overall the GC just had more games I enjoyed. Also, multiplats such as RE4 and Killer 7 were better on the Cube. bexarath

You are right, these people don't understand quality over quantity. Most PS2 games had BUGS ALL OVER and god AWFUL graphics. To the guy that mentinoed only '10' games worth owning. I will name 20 easily right now

1.MP1

2.MP2

3.SSBM

4.RE0

5.RE1

6.RE4

7.STARFOXADVENTURES

8.Viewtiful Joe

9.Viewtiful Joe2

10. Fire Emblem

11. Mario Kart

12.FzeroGX

13.Eternal Darkness

14. Rogue Leader2

15. Rogue Leader 3

16. Zelda Windwaker

17. Zelda Twilight Princess

18. Pikmin

19. Pikmin 2

20. Paper Mario

And those are just the Nintendo Games (many of which I didn't even pick) not to mention the masses of 3rd party that ran better on the GC than PS2. Sure PS2 had more crappy games but so what? 500 GC games not enough? 180 Of which got a great rating?

I only owned a gamecube last gen but it definitely wasnt the best. Dont delude yourself.

gamcube had NO online, worst 3rd party support,and least amount of AAA/AA games. how does that make it the best?

Gamecube is utter trash.

but if things keep going the way they're going, it might end up being better than Wii.

Sad but true, we are getting let down pretty hard.

So no really, are you a Nintendo fan or what??!!

Well um, I really liked the GC for it's excellent multiplayer games, it's firts party games, and ironically I liked it's controller better for most third party games :D

Underrated?.......YES

Had potential?.....Definitely YES.

Best console last gen?.......That's a matter of opinion. For me, NO. Xbox was. Again, just a matter of opinion.

I think the main reason why games that were both on the GC and ps2 function better on the gamecube (or so you say) because many of the ps2's best games were not on the gamecube
