First Party Games on GameCube - Scott The Woz Segment

[@alexlelonek7923]

Growing up, our friends had an Xbox and Halo. Me and my brother were SO bummed when we got a gamecube for christmas. But looking back, I'm glad that was the case. We had so many more party games and I loved all the single player experiences like metroid prime, zelda, and mario.

[@icecreamman2687]

Halo was great and an incredible game for multiplayer, but I can't remember any other games I played on Xbox from the time besides Fuzion Frenzy, which was a meh mario party "clone".

[@Vendetta162X]

I will constantly say it: the Gamecube is the most underrated console of all time. The library has so much diversity and uniqueness all of which executed perfectly. The best entries of so many game series were on that wonderful little (indigo) cube. It deserved higher sales numbers.

[@mrgamegod]

I wouldn't say it is underrated because the Cube is being mentioned as one of the greatest consoles from Nintendo by nearly everyone. For me clearly the Dreamcast is the most underrated console ever. Runner up would be the PSP.

[@everygamersdream72]

Wii U

[@koolaid33]

Not even close in my eyes. The Sega Dreamcast has a library of almost no sleepers, every title is near perfection if not perfect in everything it needed to be. From Sonic Adventure to the obscurer titles like Blue Stinger or AeroWings, it was all great yet the console was massively overshadowed by the GameCube, Xbox & PS2. Even though it innovated so much, being the first console with built-in internet capabilities, having a memory card that also acted as it's own console, & having other accessories like the DreamEye that went on to inspire other companies like Sony's PlayStation EyeToy, it was still left in the dust. Funniest part is that it could guaranteed compete, with game like SoulCalibur & Resident Evil - Code: Veronica being extremely graphically intensive & considered to play best on Dreamcast out of every 6th gen console, meaning it stood a chance but it wasn't given that opportunity by fans.

[@Cableguy15]

@@everygamersdream72 I think Wii U was underrated for its time, but not anymore. The thing is, you can pretty much play every single great title for it on one convenient console that also has a bunch of other games, the Switch. Wii U walked so the Switch could run.

[@TheBamaPrinceable]

​@@mrgamegod I'd say the Cube is more underrated than the Dreamcast. The Gamecube in recent years has finally begun to get its flowers whereas the DC has generally regarded in high praise from its release date. Maybe the console is somewhat overlooked but thoae who remember it, whether hardcore or casual fans, don't really have anything bad to say about it.

Even though the GameCube isn't my favorite nor the best Nintendo console ever ( personally I think the SNES & Switch are far better Nintendo systems than this ) they do have some wacky first party games that anyone has. Not all of them are amazing.

[@HyperDragon01]

There were even non-nintendo games that slapped. I absolutely LOVED star wars rogue squadron and rebel strike. They both are honestly two of the best star wars games to come out. Then there's Zoids Battle Legends. A great battle sim with Mecha animals. And then there was Sonic Air Riders. I played the crap out of that one. GameCube had games that slapped, but this generation clearly showed that families everywhere wanted a console that can do more than one thing.

N64 has the dirt worst controller ever designed by humans. Microsoft and Sony get praise for their adaptive controllers but Nintendo gets no hate for their regressive controller that required players to evolve additional appendages to operate it. Plus the planning of building in a port where they knew you’d need to put more RAM is a diabolical scheme to fuck over their most loyal fans. Four controller ports standard was a nice feature.

[@dothedew8250]

I think that the same could be said about the WiiU although most of their library has been ported to the Switch there are still a few exclusives on WiiU. I'm thinking NES Remix, Windwaker and Twilight Princess remaster, and Mario Maker 1 (I know we got 2 on switch)... And I'm sure there are more... I think the WiiU doesn't get much credit like the gamecube does. Sometimes I think that whenever NIntendo systems don't sell well, they have a very passionate following for those who did purchase their systems (N64, GCN, WiiU).

When it comes to why the gamecube didn't do too well I think it comes to the design and when it came out. The Sixth Generation of consoles had a level off coolness and edge to them. The ps2 and xbox had both from how console looked, the box art, their start up/browser, it's marketing as well. Everything those consoles did screamed cool. The dreamcast was well, the dreamcast. Then we get to the gamecube where it just sorta looks like a toy.
