Product Details of GameCube DOLSKB Gaming Console

Description

Nintendo created the GameCube with the purpose of realizing the highest level of performance and of enhancing the productivity of software development. This is Nintendo's vision of what a next-generation game machine should do. Instead of going for the highest possible performance, which does not contribute to software development, Nintendo's idea was to create a developer-friendly next generation TV game machine that maintained above-standard capabilities.

Innovative and Original

Strengths: +Good Graphics in comparison to PS2 +Innovative Titles (Resident Evil 4, Animal Crossing, Donkey Kong Jungle Beat) +Decent Controller Layout +GBA Player and Linkability

Weakness: -Smaller Library than PS2 -No Online -No DVD Player (Not Really a Let Down)

Although it may not have the online play or DVD compatibility, the Nintendo Gamecube is still the overall the best system on the market. It doesn't rely on violence or immorality as selling points (unlike Microsoft and Sony with the Halo and GTA franchises), but rather relies on good, old fashioned innovation.

GameCube DOLSKB Gaming Console

Strengths: Has the most visually impressive games ever for a console.(aka Resident Evil) Plays games exclusively by Nintendo, the greatest game software developer on earth.

Weakness: It's not made as a multimedia machine. Hence no DVD playback feature. But on a further + point, lower console costs, and more focus on game development.

A game machine that does just that. Plays games by the best, Nintendo, who not only develops video games, but works of art. Think of all the great exclusives. They consist of The Legend of Zelda series, Super Mario series, Metroid series, Star Fox series, F-Zero series, and more. Nintendo has been in the buisness longer than the other two competators. And with video game experience for well over...

GameCube DOLSKB Gaming Console

Strengths: Simply the best console at present. It looks good, it performs well. It has great games. Great product design both external and internally. It is user friendly, simple to develop for and small.

Weakness: McXbox and McSony fanboys complain about the lack sub-standard games and the fact it doesn't have poor standard C.D and DVD playback capabilities.

Nintendo have been gaming for over 20 years. They are the pioneers of the gaming world. When Sony was trialing their first walkman, Nintendo were making the games, when Miscrosoft was trying to write code for their first peice of software, Nintendo were making the games. From the Game and watch days of the 80's to the GameCube and GameBoy days of today. Nintendo demands respect because by not...

GameCube DOLSKB Gaming Console

Strengths: Graphic Powers, Well Designed Controller, Small Footprint, Sometimes Unnoticeable Load Times.

Weakness: Mini-CD, would be cool if I could at least play an audio CD on it.

The GameCube is a gamer's paradise. I've seen the graphics on Xbox and PS2 and I haven't seen anything that my ATI Radeon 7500 can't do. And to think of it, since they are both PC based, you'd think they'd have all the bells and whistles figured out for a PC type GPU. Nintendo, on the other hand, is in a league of it's own by using new technology and so far only touching a bit a what it's capable...

GameCube DOLSKB Gaming Console

Strengths: Specialized parts like proccesor and graphics card not commercial parts. 4 players. Good relaxing games and great for sports games.

Weakness: Game lineup currently and the lack of online games, For gamecube fans go to www.WarpPipe.com and u can play double dash kirby and 1080 online against other people!!!!! Lack of shooters.

I recieved a gamecube last year for christmas. I sold it after buying 5 GAMES and 2 controllers.I bought an XBOX and wasnt pleased with its narrow first person shooter lineup (thats all they have).I sold it after buying sports games and shooters and adventure games they all were mediocre. I bought a PS2 and bought like 12 games and loved it. The load times were frustrating and the graphics were...

GameCube DOLSKB Gaming Console

Strengths: Simpy the best console: No loadtimes , great graphics , good sound (no DTT) but hee its a console not a proteble pc like the X _box (haha)

Weakness: None

Its simply the best new aged console around. Great graphics en good sound and the best constroller ever buld. Oke the game selection is now a little slim but hee thats gonna be all right. The graphics are better then the ps 2 and the x box. For these reasons: I have played GTA 3 on the ps and it looks like the console cant handle the game!! The framerate drops like a basterd en thats with all...

GameCube DOLSKB Gaming Console

Strengths: Fun games, powerful hardware, excellent controller, very good future

Weakness: nothing seriously wrong

The Nintendo GameCube is the best of the three next-gen gaming systems. It is only $199.95. The load times on this machine are minimal, and the games come from the best game development team in the world - Nintendo! Unlike PlayStation 2, the GameCube has four controller sockets built in, for awesome multiplayer gaming. Also, if you buy this system, make sure that you get these games: Super Smash...

GameCube DOLSKB Gaming Console

Strengths: Amazing graphics compared to PS2. (I own a ps2) Good library of games. (They dont emphasize meaningless violence and giant robots which means attention to gameplay and fun)

Weakness: Not much. Lack of CD and DVD playback maybe, but I own a CD player and its f-ing portable. I also have a DVD player.

I like the GCN because of it's simplicity and attention to what gamers want. I'm going to buy it as soon as I return to the States and I know it'll annoy the 12 year olds who wrote negative articles about the GCN. All they do is insult the console and call it childish, even though they themselves aren't even old enough to drive. All in all, the games look awesome and so do the graphics. Ratings...

GameCube DOLSKB Gaming Console

Strengths: It's a GameCube, it's all it's meant to do, and it's all it does with accuracy. Load time is virtually nill, it's quite small, same with discs and easily can tote a ton around....if there were a ton.

Weakness: Short List of games, only some of the games have the graphics ability cranked up...the rest are just mediocre.

First Off, all you guys just blowing BS out your own @$$ just to watch it, shut up. Yes there are problems with the cube as there is with all the other systems. Cube vs. PC's Second, PC owner, shut up....let's see, pay $300 atleast per year to keep up with gaming graphic increases just so you can play something that's going to lag anyway till the next 3 installments of your favorite 3D card is...

GameCube DOLSKB Gaming Console

Strengths: size, short load times, games, controller

Weakness: sloppy ports, small disk capacity, no online plan

I'm sick and tired of all the little kids writing reviews that bash this system with no argument as to why they think it is so bad. They can't seem to spell or use correct grammar, base their arguments on nothing, and think they sound cool by recommending an xbox instead. The Gamecube has some great graphics with support for progressive scan 480p output. There is surround sound support with...
