As a giant N64 fanboy this is the truth. The GC provided nice sharp graphics and good framerates staying competitive with the other consoles of the time. 3rd party devs did mostly abandon the console near the end of its lifespan though. Its only flaws are the stupid mini dvds which held less data and a controller lacking in buttons with a bad D-pad.

What goal post moving? This is perfectly in line with what I said. Nintendo was forced to rely on gimmicks instead of actual hardware ever since their two consecutive console flops happened. The Wii, the Wii U and the Switch all rely on gimmicks instead of hardware as their selling point. Most people who own a Switch also own other gaming platforms, therefore it's a non-competitor. There was a poll about this.

I like how as time goes on the Saturn becomes more appreciated and the 64 less. It's funny how that sometimes happens with things. I definitely wanted a 64 over the Saturn back in the day(over the playstation as well) and looking back if given the choice I would choose the Saturn in a heartbeat.

The Gamecube had vastly superior hardware and much better first party exclusives than the PS2 and Xbox, it was a great console. It also tended to have either the best or second best versions of multiplats.

Also using the minidiscs was smart, Sony famously ran entire pirating operations for the Dreamcast dumping roms online and giving detailed guides on how to burn CDs. If Nintendo went with DVDs or CDs they almost certainly would have been victims of piracy by Sony.

[Anonymous No.7246707]

>>7246443
>what lesson were they supposed to learn, exactly?

At least try to match the competition in capability and features. The N64 fucked up primarily with not going with CD-ROMS and instead sticking with expensive and comparably very limited space cartridges. They almost managed to do the right thing with Gamecube but just before crossing the finishing line and winning the race they decided to do a 180 and "pull a Nintendo" and crammed a propitiatory mini-disk player in there because gimmicks-before-function had become Nintendo's fundamental design philosophy at that point.

This naturally meant that DVD-playback, that both Playstation 2 and the Xbox had, was out of the question and gave the competition a gargantuan feature advantage seeing as standard DVD players cost as much as a console at the time at it would be cheaper to just buy a PS2 and use that for movies AND games (like A LOT of people ended up doing) than having to buy a Gamecube and then a dedicated DVD-player costing twice as much.

Aside from lack of DVD-playback, the other issue with the small disk was that they had relatively limited space (that worked so great with the N64 amirite Nintendo) and that in turn dictated and limited developers in how they could store and access game-data and potentially would require games and engines to be built around shortcoming, making the system less attractive for developers and less lucrative for publishers wanting to do cross-platform releases, again ending up netting Nintendo less games on their system other than the ones they paid to be developed as system exclusives or where first party.

Had the Gamecube used standard DVD discs and offered DVD-playback it might have won the generation, but as it's become abundantly clear over the years, Nintendo never learns and never listens.

This is Nintendrone delusion of the highest magnitude. It had a tiny library barely bigger than the N64's with the usual Nintendo rehashes. Even the Xbox had a bigger and better library.

I dont follow. Most groundbreaking Nintendo titles came out for the N64. OoT, Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, F-Zero X, Star Fox 64, Wave Race 64, 1080° Snowboarding, Super Smash Bros., only to name a few, are all franchises that Nintendo FAILED to improve upon in the Gamecube generation. Nintendo has much less impactful first party titles in the GC, than in the N64, that is proof the Cube is a worse console.

[Anonymous No.7250074]

>>7246410
I don't think it was, Gamecube was capable of running ps2 ports and with better graphics if the developers put in a slight amount of effort. With N64 it seemed like the game had to be just able made from scratch with different textures and resized polygons. I don't think there was ever any really accurate ps1 to n64 or back port that wasn't changed majorly in graphics. This could also be a disadvantage because this caused n64 to get some pretty unique games that were never ported. So it had a lot more games but you could play most of them on ps2 anyway.

This was a wierd period, people started playing gta and thought they were hardcore or something and the nintendo was just for babies and it wasn't a serious contender. This must be the low point for street creed for nintendo.

Now look where we are, only the poorest cockroach infested house would have a ps2 under their tv while the gamecube is beloved by many for its charms and adorns many a collection.

>This was a wierd period, people started playing gta and thought they were hardcore or something and the nintendo was just for babies and it wasn't a serious contender. This must be the low point for street creed for nintendo.

>This was basically a repeat of the N64 scenario.
Not really. With N64 they delayed games until they were good. Ocarina of time was delayed for 12 months. The N64 itself was delayed a similar length of time

With Gamecube they realised that 3rd-parties weren't coming back so they started rushing games to ensure they had a decent library. They were panicking because Microsoft had entered the market and they had deep pockets. Sunshine was rushed. Wind Waker was rushed (all that empty ocean). Just about everything was rushed. None of their first party gamecube games reached the pinacle of their N64 games. Pikmin was nice but it was an insanely short game, really just a proof of concept. Same with Luigi's Mansion. Wave Race, Star Fox, etc were handled by third-parties and were not comparable to their first party predecessors.

It wasn't until Wii that they made a genuinely first-rate game again (Mario Galaxy).

As far as 6th gen goes, only the Xbox and PS2 are interesting. What the fuck did the Gamecube have? Nothing.

>This board is for the discussion of classic, or "retro" games, including consoles, computer games, arcade games (including pinball) and any other forms of video games. Retro gaming means platforms launched in 2001 and earlier, and official game titles for those platforms released no later than December 2007 (homebrew console games made after this date will be permitted). The Microsoft Xbox, Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo Game Boy Advance, and Sony PlayStation 2 will now be considered "retro".

Nintendo is the George Lucas of Companies, forever failing upward. If it wasn't for the Mario or Zelda IP they would have gotten what they deserved decades ago.

Watching anime is less cringe than playing games meant for 5 year olds, Nintranny.
