Editorial Reviews :
This GameCube starter kit comes with one jet black GameCube, two jet black controllers, and one memory card Though it looks like a toy, don't be fooled: the Nintendo GameCube is a powerful video game console that rightly deserves its place among the other next-generation game systems. In fact, its playful, appealing design and small size (the unit is a not-quite-cubed 6 inches) aren't the only features that set it apart from the others.
For starters, Nintendo has quite clearly made this a game-only machine. It doesn't try to play your CD collection, run your movies, read your e-mail, or store your MP3 files; the company has concentrated its efforts on games. The prelaunch titles we've seen play uniformly smooth, with bright, fast graphics and great sound. Nintendo says its engineers have removed traditional 'bottlenecks' that have, in the past, slowed down processing. New components designed by IBM and MoSys, as well as a large-capacity secondary memory cache, keep instructions moving through the system's microprocessor (MPU) at peak levels. In English: the GameCube is optimized to push speed up while pushing costs down, hence its position at the lower end of the price spectrum.
The GameCube is the first Nintendo video game system to use a disc-based media rather than cartridges for its games. Moving the software to disc media generally means lower development costs for the publishers, which, in turn, trickles down to the consumer not only in price, but also in availability and quality, as it's then easier to try out untested game ideas. While most other systems likewise store their games on discs, the GameCube's 3-inch format is smaller than everyone else's, and is so designed to fit in a shirt pocket as much as it is to deter would-be software pirates.
Of course, the main advantage of the GameCube is that it's the home field of one of the world's premier game designers--Nintendo. While powerhouses Electronic Arts and Sega make games for all systems (including this one), you can only play Nintendo games on a Nintendo system. And Nintendo, you might recall, has been hitting them out of the park since it started with Donkey Kong. In fact, here's a roll call of characters and series you won't find on the other consoles: Mario, Legend of Zelda, Perfect Dark, Metroid, Kirby, and, of course, Pokémon. A few names that the GameCube will share with the other guys: Madden, Tony Hawk, Sonic, Batman, and Star Wars.
The system also comes with four built-in controller ports, so you can easily plug in extra controllers and let friends join in for the multiplayer games. It even has a built-in handle so you can easily move it to a friend's house. It comes with two memory card slots for saving your progress through games, and there's the capacity for future expansion into the world of online gaming.
Buyer Reviews :
Ok to start out with I know gamecube does not have many games yet however new titles such as star fox metroid mario sunshine wario and a whooooooole lot more will be released before Christmas.
I've been true and loyal to Nintendo since the release of the origional NES and have owned every system it has ever released(except virtual boy, that was just a flop of a failure).
Besides virtual boy nintendo has never failed us with its superior releases and has been the king of the video gaming world since 1985.
So why should ps2 and xbox(the most crappiest systems on the face of the earth)think they can take the throne without a fight. Hearby i present you the gamecube our defender who is underrated because it is said to be a childs toy. No nintendo system ever made was a childs toy and this one is no exception.
All that those ps2 and xbox fans want is violence in their video games because they don't believe in FUN.
...Therefore i say this system and nintendo has shown its support since 1985 and is for ALL AGES.
LONG LIVE NINTENDO THE RULER OF THE VIDEO GAMING WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!
