>Let's rehash the exact same philosophy behind the N64 but do it worseIf it wasn't for Melee the GC would have flopped even harder than it did. All the Gamecube Zelda games are vastly inferior to those on the N64.The controller is ergonomically well designed, but giving it so few buttons in the 6th gen was just embarrassing honestly. Every multiplat is better played on a PS2 or Xbox.Nintendo's execs were weirdly incompetent in this era for some reason.
>>12766231>All the Gamecube Zelda games are vastly inferior to those on the N64Ocarina is dog shit. OOT isn't as bad as Wind Waker, but Twilight Princess easily mogs both N64 Zeldas (Majora is a damn good game, I'll admit).>Every multiplat is better played on a PS2 or XboxMost 6th gen games didn't use all the buttons, hell most of them didn't even use the right stick. I'll take the higher FPS of GameCube ports over PS2 versions whenever available.
>>12766231nah
>>12766231>exact same philosophy behind the N64nope
>>12766231Gamecube was a massive departure from N64.
>>12766231More broccoli brained instigation. Cube was great even without first party
To understand the greatness of this machine you had to own it and be in the correct target audience. The Wii was just a souped up Gamecube so whatever you can say went wrong with this machine for Nintendo financially went very right the next go round. They tried to repeat that again with the Wii U and it didn't quite work out but it did spawn the console tablet hybrid idea in a worse form.With Nintendo you need to look at the big picture. This omg you guys Nintendo had a bad year failure failure failure breathless YouTube essay logic doesn't work for them. They move slow and play the long game.
>>12766231I think one of the dumbest design decisions were the mini discs.
>>12766231N64DD was a dumb ideaShould have had Philips put it on the final edition of the N64GCN was the make up for it but the Wii had to make up for its early days shitshow caused by the Terrible 3 (Shitshine, Windu Waika, and ASSault)
>>12766231The PS2 was a Silcon Graphics machine like the N64 wasIt's spiritually the N64 2The GCN was the Nintendo Saturn
>>12767459I'm confident Nintendo was and is still salty Philips contracted dev studios that weren't quite experienced in making games, leading to those meme entires.
>>12767463>It's spiritually the N64 2It's spiritually the PS1 2 by the library. Ecksbawks was closer to 64's spiritual successor, ̶t̶h̶e̶y̶ ̶e̶v̶e̶n̶ ̶b̶o̶t̶h̶ ̶h̶a̶v̶e̶ ̶c̶o̶n̶s̶o̶l̶e̶f̶a̶g̶'̶s̶ ̶f̶i̶r̶s̶t̶ ̶F̶P̶S̶.
>>12766231I never touched a GC game until my 30s and I really like the console. Its comfy and most of the games run at 60fps. Even the multiplats so its the better way to play some games compared to the ps2
The standard of thread creation on /vr/ is abysmal.
>>12768223So make a good thread, you whiny fucking retard. I always see this complaint, but no one makes a decent thread with full paragraphs in the OP. Are you perhaps too much of a pussy to be seen as unironically passionate?
>>12766231Nah, I'd say that the GameCube was the same philosophy as the N64 but done BETTER. Like go back and play N64 games today. Most of them have aged like absolute shit. Subpar frame rates, horrible textures, early 3D is NOT good. In fact most of the big multiplayer hitters like Mario Kart 64, Smash, and Goldeneye got Gamecube versions that look and ran way better with Double Dash, Melee and 007 Nightfire.N64 created the ideas, Gamecube perfected them.
>>12766231Who fucking cares?Why do zoomers obsess over this irrelevant garbage? How do shambling trash monsters like you exist?
>>12766236ww>oot=/=mm>tp >SSoot and mm are very hard to compare to each other. There is a reason why they shifted to breath of the wild and that was to stop zelda from becoming sonic where each yearly game release has some dumb gimmick like dog mode. the best zelda games are oracle of seasons and ages
GC had better 3rd party support than the N64. Praise Capcom!
>>12768408Autism manifests itself in different ways. Some autists have My Little Pony Sonic The Hedgehog Pokemon autism and sperg endlessly into the void of the internet about franchises for children. That's how autists like OP start out. Then they go one step further from franchise autism to brand autism. They start treating a company's history like an obsessive gambler plays Fantasy Football. They watch and create YouTube video essays about the subject talking about "what went wrong" and what they would have done instead Monday morning quarterbacking decades old console wars. You see the same shit with the autists who make entire wikis on Fandom about pretend TV networks with fake history, fake branding, fake TV schedules, the whole deal... Meanwhile people who actually like retro games own all the consoles and may delve into the history a little bit but just play the games and enjoy them. The opposite of mentally deficient wastes of oxygen and taxpayer dollars like OP.
>>12768973>intellectualising is bad, actuallyWhat kind of threads do you make here, then?
>>12768990The last time I made a thread here we weren't even allowed to talk about the GBA. You know the bar is on the floor when people like OP make me miss 2016 4chan.
>>12768997>I don't contribute to meaningful discussion but I'll bitch about people who doWhat a fucking retard. You pester young people to play your childhood games, yet you also demean them for actually showing interest in them. You will never be content with the subject matter and this is presumably why you haven't been inspired to post a thread in years.
>>12769001>All the Gamecube Zelda games are vastly inferior to those on the N64.Controversial but relevant opinion.>Every multiplat is better played on a PS2 or Xbox.The worst version of Soul Calibur 2 is the PS2 version. GC is the best one but Xbox clears PS2 still. Kinda odd since the arcade was basically PS2 hardware but Link was a welcome addition and it's better with the GC controller. I never got the hang of playing it with PS2.>Nintendo's execs were weirdly incompetent in this era for some reason.I'm not an investor. I am some guy who buys consoles and plays games. Why the fuck should I care about their bottom line? Take it to >>>/biz/ you stupid corporate cocksucker. Shut the fuck up.
>>12769010>I'm not an investor. I am some guy who buys consoles and plays games. Why the fuck should I care about their bottom line? Take it to >>>/biz/ you stupid corporate cocksucker. Shut the fuck up.Hey retard, who do you think signs off the product agenda you ultimately purchase into as a consumer?
Besides YouTube essay brain there's also social media hot take brain on display here. If this were Twitter or TikTok you would need to say controversial things that get people up in arms to get engagement which means the algorithm will boost you and make you more money. Obviously there's no 4chan algorithm to manipulate here. You get nothing except attention if your thread gets bumped. People post like this now because their brain has been completely fried by algorithms. Their behavior has been molded by machines.>>12769017But you haven't established why I should care. I had a Gamecube. I played some fun games. I was satisfied. 20+ years later I looked back on it with fond enough memories to purchase another one used and found it's currently cheap which you know won't last due to the relative unpopularity of the system during it's lifespan. I found it's easy to mod, the accessories available for it are great, and Nintendo's bizarre decision to put a digital video output on the original model paid off big time for people who want to use it on modern TVs. It's a great entry point for people who want to get into console modding. Not as easy as the Wii but a bit better suited for a modern setup. If you had a CRT a Wii would actually be a better choice.
>>12769029>But you haven't established why I should careIt is extremely easy to understand that extreme incompetence at the top might lead to worse products for you downstream. I am done replying to you.
>>12769043John Frum isn't coming. Let it go.
>>12769029>found it's currently cheap which you know won't last due to the relative unpopularity of the system during it's lifespanGamecubes will likely stay cheap since you can get a Wii, mod it with extreme ease and you end up with a better gamecube that can run other nintendo consoles pre-gamecube era>But the Wii already runs gamecube gamesAnd the Wii also underclocks it's hardware to emulate what a gamecube ran at which will come with frame stutters that would have happened on the gamecube. The Nintendont software keeps the Wii's normal specs and eliminates those frame stutters.>But the other emulators aren't 1 to 1. Then get those other consoles. For $50-$80, you can get a 5 in 1 consoles with 5 minutes of modding, and maybe 20-30 minutes of file configuration on an SD card.
>>12766231It was after pokemon craze started, nintendo got their pockets filled with jew gold already, they didn't really fuck up GBA only because they knew it's gonna make them even more rich. After GBA everything nintendo did is dogshit, becuase they don't give a fuck. Their cultists will buy their shit no matter what and franchises like pokemon or mario will bring them more shekels until millenials die off as generation. Only good artisan is hungry artisan.
>>12770127But the Wii doesn't have a digital output for glorious 480p. Newer TVs lack component. They're going to become increasingly undesirable to people who don't want to buy a fancy scaler setup. Don't get me started on the fucking Wii U either. I own one and I'd rather just use my Gamecube even though it can do everything the Wii does (well maybe not 240p but let's not push it) with HDMI output.
