As someone who grew up in the 90s, I was fortunate enough to experience some of the best video games that the decade had to offer. However, I never got into the Nintendo GameCube. It's not that I had anything against it, but for some reason, it just didn't pique my interest.
Looking back, I think the main reason why the GameCube didn't catch on as well as some of its competitors was its marketing. The console was marketed towards a younger audience, which may have turned off some of the older gamers. It also didn't have the same level of third-party support as its competitors, which meant that it didn't have as many must-have games.
That being said, there were still some great games on the GameCube that I missed out on. Super Smash Bros. Melee, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, and Metroid Prime are just a few of the games that I've heard great things about.
One thing that I do appreciate about the GameCube is its unique controller. While it may have looked a bit strange at first, it was actually very comfortable to hold and use. The analog stick was very responsive, and the button layout was intuitive. The handle on the back also made it easy to carry around, which was a nice touch.
Overall, while I may not have been the biggest fan of the GameCube, I still respect it for what it brought to the table. It may not have been as popular as some of its competitors, but it still had a solid library of games and some unique features that set it apart.
