    It's similar to the PC-98 or X68000 -- it wasn't a flop in Japan and that means it boasts a library, some of which came out it in the West, that has retro appeal in spades.

    Flopped is an incorrect word. The Wii U flopped, the Saturn flopped, the Dreamcast flopped, but the GameCube was only a couple of million systems sold behind the Xbox.

    it was significantly less powerful than the ps2 and xbox, pc gaming was really taking off, and everyone suddenly needed dvd players, which was a significant factor in convincing your guardians that it was a family investment 😅, but hey it wasn't a dreamcast, and it could play resident evil?

    Had they chose Blazing Lasers as the packing game rather than the forgettable Keith Courage, the TG-16 might have gotten a better foothold in the highly competitive 16-bit game market.

    • @ImWithTeamTrinity
      @ImWithTeamTrinity 5 днів тому

      I think Dungeon Explorer and 2 controllers would have also made a big impression, the game was like Gauntlet mixed with a RPG, the sound and graphics were great and so was the multiplayer experience. I think the only thing Keith Courage had going for it was the color palette, they fumbled the marketing in North America big time.

    It's true. I was a gamecube fanboy and everyone hated it. A few people liked halo and everyone else was on ps2. I played gamecube its whole life then got a ps2 and played both with ps2 eventually becoming my favorite. Back then I saw them as quality (gc) vs quantity (ps2). Today I think I prefer gc overall but both are great.

    the best Gameboy game of all time the challenges always keeps the player on their toes with every 4 levels giving the player a break from the puzzle stages and more of the classic Donkey Kong arcade style I must say DK94 is one of the most underrated Nintendo games I've played.

    N64 was severely limited by it's cartridge format, which is why PlayStation was able to wipe the floor with them. Textures for N64 were flat shaded whenever possible, whereas PlayStation could have a robust texture library on disc and cut scenes, and sound etc. Even with N64 additional capability, they really missed the mark using cartridge.

    I had all three and the GC was my favorite followed by XBOX. With that being said, the ONLY reason I got one was because of the Resident Evil deal. I had to love it because I traded my PS2 for it since I was a HUGE Resident Evil fan. Without that deal, I would have never bought it and grown to love it.

    Don't forget if you have an HD adapter, all Gamecube games are 480p HD, which looked much better than most PS2 and OG XBox games. F-Zero GX should be mentioned. It's probably the most perfect iteration of that game and Nintendo hasn't even yet attempted to top it.
