by far my favorite console of all time since i first got it, i love pretty much everything on it. someone actually ported a game to the gamecube in the modern day (albeit it needs Swiss, a homebrew app to run) and it’s just so cool to see that it refuses to die
My GameCube is still in service - slowly but surely working through Twilight Princess between work and other things!
at the time I was a PC gamer and for some weird reason, none of my friends owned a GameCube which, in hindsight makes me a bit sad. Great console, great games.
Big shout out to the Gameboy Player add-on for the GameCube, and the equally brilliant Game Boy Interface which vastly improves the video quality.
Oh absolutely! That’s the killer app for the Gameboy Player IMHO. Properly felt like a return to the SNES days of 2D platforming, but with improved tech and quality of life. Love it.
yeah, WL4 felt like it was designed more for the GBP than the actual GBA! haahaha, and i remember how excited i was when i discovered i could play it on the TV and just put it back in my GBA when I had to go somewhere. Now that’s what the switch is all about, but the jankiness of the GBP just made it more special to me
brilliant Game Boy Interface which vastly improves the video quality.
It cannot be overstated just how massive of an improvement GBI is. If you’re using the stock Nintendo Gameboy Player disc/software, you’re playing with an enormous handicap.
The GameCube is considered retro now?
