It's really quite strange to me that there was such a perception during the 6th gen of the Gamecube being a "kiddy console" that supposedly had nothing to offer mature gamers.

The GCN was the last time Nintendo actually tried to target an older audience by publishing all these games that were outside their usual scope like Eternal Darkness and Geist. Or, most famously, Metroid Prime, which was marketed as Nintendo's answer to Halo back when it first came out.

The Cube being on-par with the PS2 and Xbox in terms of graphical capabilities also of course meant it was the last Nintendo console that got most third party multiplat games. Sure they might not have had GTA but they had the likes of Splinter Cell, True Crime, Soul Calibur, Spiderman, Need for Speed, Call of Duty, all the kinds of games that teen and adult gamers would have been interested in. And in many cases the GCN versions of these games were superior to PS2.

It's odd that the Switch has had way more success at appealing to adult demographics despite all of Nintendo's games for it being full-on Disney-style kiddy shit, but the Gamecube which actually went out of its way to present itself as a grown-up console was derided as a "purple lunchbox for children".

Look at the whole branding of the console as well. The bright colors of the N64 logo and box arts are gone. The GCN used a slick black color and an imposing, futuristic font.

The "purple lunchbox" thing seemed to be such a huge stigma back then, I wonder if they'd removed the handle and made the black model the main console rather than the purple one if that would have helped the console's image at all.

>> No.10521106

The gaming zeitgeist was at its most angsty in the 2000s. People would have gone nuts for an M rated Zelda with blood and gore and Godsmack but it certainly would have aged far worse than Wind Waker. But anything short of that was going to be called "kiddy" at the time.

You nintentoddlers are so weird, why do you feel the need to constantly defend your consoles against any criticism, it's like you can't accept that it isn't the greatest thing ever.
Go ahead and name ONE gc game where you play as a criminal or a bad guy. Guess what, you can't because there aren't any. You know why? Because Nintendo didn't allow them on their systems.

This is a bare-faced lie. GTA Advance was released in 2004 during the GCN/GBA era of Nintendo. And there are news articles from the early 2000s reporting that Gamecube ports of GTA 3 and Vice City were also planned, but were cancelled presumably due to lower sales of the console.

I wonder if things would be any different if Twilight Princess were released in 2002 as the first Zelda game for GCN and Wind Waker was scheduled as the 2006 game instead.

I always felt like TP was out of place when it came out in '06. It was clearly a game developed during that period of time when Nintendo still wanted the hardcore/mature audience and wanted to develop a Zelda game that targeted them. It doesn't feel like a post-Wii era Nintendo game, tonally-speaking, at all. And you can see that with the shift in direction with Skyward Sword and Breath of the Wild back to cartoonish graphics.

Another example of a GCN era first party game that clearly targeted older gamers: F-Zero GX. Suddenly the F-Zero franchise was transformed from this wacky cartoon world into a darker, grittier, futuristic one complete with realistic CGI cutscenes and rock music. It's full of early-2000s edge and is the sort of thing that Nintendo NEVER would have done in the Wii, Wii U or Switch eras, nor on the N64 either.

Why would it have Halo or FF? Those were Microsoft and Sony exclusive franchises only in those days. OG Xbox didn't get Final Fantasy either. At least the GCN got Crystal Chronicles.

And what the Gamecube did have was Resident Evil 4 as a timed-exclusive, and an exclusive MGS1 remake. Sure, the latter one might have been a bit shit, but that wasn't Nintendo's fault.

According to Wiki you're right, but the PS2 version was only announced a few months before the GCN release and, from the sounds of it, wasn't originally planned.

>Along with Resident Evil: Dead Aim and Resident Evil Outbreak, two side story games that did not fall under the exclusive policy, it was announced on October 31, 2004 that Resident Evil 4 would come to the PlayStation 2 in 2005, citing increased profit, changing market conditions, and increased consumer satisfaction as the key reasons.

I love Nintendo too, grew up with an NES and all, and loved it, they saved the industry and created some of the most iconic IPs of all time, but they aren't always on top and that's fine to recognize.

Early years it did feel like it was aiming more of a teenage audience and it was testing the grounds for an even older audience (hell its the only time nintendo has still ever published an M rated game of their own IP, two times even((technically they also published Devils Third on wii u))

But by the late era of the system, they kinda regressed into kid stuff like all the Mario spin offs. Twilight Princess was a last send off though that was more mature then what else was out around that time. I think the "kiddie" games just outmassed the more "older" games they were releasing in the public eye, but it seems like they were trying to branch out their image more before the Wii said nah to all that and went super casual mode.

In japan though, it absolutely lacked that image and was purely a kids focused system.

What dies Nintendo do? Let people wait 6 years for a Zelda DLC

It was a decent console, but the Nintendo IPs not putting out their best stuff, and the 3rd party support being so weak, really killed it, it didn't help that the gimmick wasn't all that useful for most. I mean, look at the Switch, it had the same IPs, but done better, more 3rd party support, and a gimmick that's actually good, and it's almost reaching the PS2 in sales.

>I still don't understand why people said the Gamecube was "kiddy"
PS2 had GTA and other "mature" games on it at a time when gaming culture was shifting to "edgier" games. The counter examples you bring up were mostly not edgy in a performative way that declares "Yeah we're adults. We're so adult (but our primary audience is teenagers)" but just M rated games. Not hard to see why

Stylized games like Wind Waker always fare better in the later years of a console's lifespan. When a console is still new everyone is expecting games that show off next gen realistic graphics, it's just how it is, no point releasing a game like Wind Waker during the period of the console's lifespan when everyone is expecting tech demos.

"Kiddy" games are and outdated concept and that's why your seeing the difference between gc and switch. Gamers have grown up, were not all edgy teens anymore and the idea of avoiding a mario game or something with colorful graphics just cause we don't want to play a "kiddy" game doesn't exist anymore.

It's funny because sunshine is the only mainline mario platformer where mario isn't smiling or happy in the box art. He has a serious face and looks defensive. Almost like they were trying to pass Mario as a serious stoic hero and not the happy go lucky kid friendly chap he was.
You can clearly tell nintendo was trying to step away from their kiddy image during this time in particularly with the gamecube, with the GBA they didn't seem to care thought. An example of this is the pokemon games on GC. They are dark, gritty and have older main characters while the GBA games are more colorful and have younger main characters.

This. Besides resident evil, the actually mature themed games did not usually make it on the gc. And you could say that mature games don’t automatically make them good, but then you’re just moving the goalpost. It’s not necessarily a bad thing that the gc was not an edgy console. I think it’s more so the fact that adult men are trying to push the meme that gc was edgy or mature to obfuscate their own cognitive dissonance poking its head into their conscious thoughts.

>It's odd that the Switch has had way more success at appealing to adult demographics
It's because it actually has games just for that console, and the other two pieces of shit just have multiplats you can get on PC (which you should have as an adult).

Now people should also just emulate Switch but people are consumerist buyfags so whatever.

Microsoft can and will release whatever first party games of theirs on other consoles if they feel like it. Maybe Sony will get the short end of the stick as a fuck you for the courtroom shenanigans, but nothing will stay "exclusive" to xbox.

There is zero chance of any Bethesda games coming to Nintendo or Sony anymore. They have to have at least SOME exclusives and clearly they've chosen that Bethesda games shall be that "some". Otherwise they would have released Starfield on PS5.
