Well, if the title wasn't a dead giveaway, today is the Nintendo GameCube's 10th birthday in America! YAY!!! Hm, well if you don't know what a GameCube is you're a) too young b) not caring c) too stupid to recognize it as the best home console in the world. Okay, that's a bit of a stretch, but still, I love my GameCube (herinafter GC) more than any other home console I've ever played, including the PS3. I suppose it means something when I say it was my first "real" home console (that old PSone doesn't count). I bought mine for $20 from a good friend. It came with one controller, a GameBoy Player, and a GameBoy Player disc. I was sold. Later that night my bro bought Pac-Man World 3 for it, and we thought that game was the greatest thing since sliced bread. Boy, were we wrong.
Another really good friend of mine lent us Super Smash Bros. Melee, which I still consider to be better thatn SSB Brawl. We borrowed Super Mario Sunshine and MarioKart: Double Dash!! (and eventually bought both games). And later, maybe just a year or two ago, I spent a whole day in the hot sun managing a yard sale. That afternoon, my dad took me to GameStop and I bought what would be my favorite game in the whole wide world: The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker. Later I got Metroid Prime, Animal Crossing, LoZ: Collector's Edition, and many other games. If you're ever looking for some good Nintendo games, without wanting to pay the $200+ for a Wii, trust me, the GC will not let you down.
Happy Birthday GameCube!! <3
