all the chemicals in the water that turn the frogs gay

gamecube was popular with elementary school kids
whoever had a gamecube in middle or high school got shit for it from the ps2 and xbox kids because it rhymed with gaycube
>t. had PS2 in middle school

>>7336006
tfw had RE4 at launch

>>7335982
Americans consoom every system every time, not necessarily because they are rich but because they are financially retarded and will even go into debt as long as they buy all the entertainment their is to buy so everything ends ups selling well over there

>>7336019
t. PAL fifabox buyer

>>7335982
Same reason Xbox was only popular in America: It had games that appealed to that country's taste, but lacked anything that anyone cared about anywhere else.

>>7337696
Lots of kids had an Xbox in my european shithole school, (of course not as many as ps2) but i literally never knew anyone who had a gc.

>>7335982
N64 only sold well on NA.

>>7335982
Largest concentration of nintoddlers anywhere in the world, hence the garbage content on this board.

>>7337880
This.

Not retro

>>7337880
Nintodlers are the ones making /v/ threads and console war bait?

>>7335982
Yet no Eastern Europe & Korean release. It would have success over there.

>>7335982
Mor manchildren per capita than any other region

>>7336019
America didn’t buy the Sega Master System like Europe or Brazil, and the Sega Saturn like Japan. Those are some examples.

>>7338642
Genesis and DC are the only Sega consoles that did well in North America. The Saturn got ass fucked in a threesome by the Playstation and N64. Compared to Nintendo, where the only 2 flops they've had in North America are the Virtual Boy and Wii U. The Gamecube sold more units in North America alone than the Wii U did world wide.

>>7335982
Why was North America the only region where the Nintendo 64 had any success?

>>7336006
>gamecube was popular with elementary school kids
yep. it made the games not for kids stick out like a sore thumb

>>7338690
BC Ken Griffey Jr.'s Slugfest is the shit. And then the studio that made would end up getting bought by R*ckstar.

>>7335982
widespread autism caused by poor light levels and sugar, corn syrup in breakfast cereals , at a guess

>>7338690
PAL regions got dogshit during the nes/snes eras from nintendo, FF7 was really the first FF game the UK saw, they never got what the americans call the classics, no chrono trigger, no super mario rpg, they didnt even get contra because germany flipped out and made them call it probotector and change all the humans to robots

>>7339245
>PALfags getting cucked out of JRPGs well into the PS1 and PS2 era

>US gets FF1, FF2, FF4, FF5, FF6, and Chrono Trigger
>EU gets FF1, FF2, FF4, FF5, FF6, and...an FF10 demo

>>7339336
but wait there's more

>>7338642
Holy fuck, does every thread have someone spouting the "Sega was huge in Brazil" meme or was I just unlucky to see several examples over the last few days?

>>7339409
The Genesis still sells in Brazil bc they're dumb socialists who made it cost a billion dollars to buy a Nintendo or Sony console.

>>7336006
I had a Gamecube in 6th gen and I had a library of like 20 games when all I was said and done and they were all quality. But yes, Gaycube, it was purple "the faggot color" ontop of that in all the ads. But mine was black.

>>7336010
Yeah for that year or 10 months or whatever it was where Gamecube was the ONLY way to check out Resident Evil 4 we were ontop of the world. Oh NOW you want to check out the Gaycube.

>>7339386
We got every single one of these in PAL regions, it's just the cart era and specifically Nintendo that meant there was a gap

>>7339424
You should see the dumb socialist import taxes and currency controls that Argentina has and that doesn't happen there.

Is GameCube not considered retro in this board? New fag here and GameCube is my favorite console

>>7339953
we even got Star Ocean 2 on psx when we never got Star Ocean on SNES

>>7339957
new rules that we all don't like means anything up to and including crysis is "retro", don't worry cubefan, I'm not going to shout at you about it, I like people who love their games

>>7339967
>new rules that we all don't like
i like them

>>7339975
really? or are you just rustling my old dusty jimmies

>>7339953
>every single one of these in PAL regions,
No you didn't. None of these games were released in PAL.

>>7339978
i really like the 6th gen of consoles and is a good place to discuss specific games from that gen which is 20 yr old already, if people would collaborate a little instead of being butthurt all the time and try to sabotage because change bad there wouldn't be any issues

>>7339954
Bruh, toy stores in Argentina still sell Genesis reproductions. What are you talking about?

>>7340176
Argentina and Brazil are both third world

>>7340176
>toy stores in Argentina still sell Genesis reproductions
American too

>>7340176
Also NOAC family computer clones.

>>7337758
Here in latinamerica some people had it. Not in the same ratio as ps2 or xbox 360 but some people had it.

I think Mexico is the only country in Latin America where Nintendo does well. Brazil and Argentina are pozzed memeholes.

>>7340534
I would pick Brazil over Mexico if I was forced to choose.

>>7340540
No, Nintendo pulled out of Brazil because it became a real pain in the ass to do business down there. In Mexico, they just sell the same stuff they sell in the US and Canada.

>>7335982
I remember it was well priced here. It started at $200USD but at some point they dropped its price down to $100USD which no other major console ever dropped to since. It had some strong quality titles with great critical reception which made it a very attractive offer. In Japan, at that time started to become less interested in home consoles and more effort was placed onto portables and arcades.

>>7340026
That's fine, but "20 years" is a forced meme and has never been used before autists started forcing it here last year.

uk(europe) was a sega then sony region always

>>7336006
The only dude I knew who had a GC in highschool got made fun of lot...but not because he had a GC.

>>7343247
the genesis was the only successful console in NA and even then the SNES kicked its ass in sales despite a year head start

>>7345067
*sega console

>>7336006
smash bros diluted most of that.
