I have be a Nintendo fan since the SNES -lrb- Super Nintendo Entertainment System -rrb- and i have enjoy all the classic since then , ecspecially the Mario franchise . Nintendo Gamecube be the latest in Nintendo 's home console gaming and featue state of the art graphic wich be amazing ... in 2001 . as you may know or not know Nintendo be plannign on release a new consol soon , very soon . so be this truly worth buy ? -lrb- read on and decide for yourself -rrb- Gamecube have a strong , strong line up in the beggining of it be life span with instant classic like `` Super Smash Bros. . Melee '' -lrb- duke it out in a crazy fighting game with Nintendo classic ! -rrb- and `` Star Wars : Rogoue Squadron 2 '' -lrb- or pit yourself into the realm of Star Wars and man you vehicle and prepare for war ! -rrb- . even as the year roll by Nintendo get possibly better ! with hit like `` Phantasy Star Online Episodes 1 & 2 '' -lrb- one of the few online game on the gc , great rpg and it be multi player too ! -rrb- and `` sonic adventure 2 battle '' by work a few deal with Sega . sadly the Gamecube start to become sluggish lack the online feature other consol now fully supportet speccifically x-box . Nintendo go they different way but still manage to produce multiple title that still have major success . keep in mind gamecube prodominatley feature multiplayer game and child base game , but that do not stop they from release mature single palyer goody like Resident Evil 4 -lrb- one of the best game of all time ! -rrb- . do not forget the Nintendo vault of treat to with all they franchise make epic return and new arrival , Animal Crossing be very addicting think of it as a wacky the Sims -lrb- in a nutshell that be -rrb- . Super Mario Sunshine be Marios way back into people home with all he platformer goodness and one of the greatest ... Legend of Zelda : the Winder Waker , a powerful rpg conduct of element from all the previous loz contain clean clear cell shaded style graphic ! all these good game and you wonder why a 4 star ? Nintendo as i mention do superb , but then start disable many title that come out on ps2 and x-box as if they want to kill off fanbase -lrb- but still fail , long live Nintendo ! -rrb- . with all that say you pick a Gamecube up for a relatively cheap price consider all the other system cost of around 150-200 $ .
