Gamecube Console Black
$99.99
I bought the Nintendo GameCube console because of the previous console Nintendo 64.The PlayStation and the Xbox are good consoles but I had to go with the GameCube. It would be pretty difficult to live up to the Nintendo 64 but the GameCube did a good job.

Well right off the bat, the console is smaller and takes up less room, and instead of a Cartridge the GameCube uses a disc. (There smaller than DVD's) I guess I am a gamer of the past but I like using Cartridge's better, I feel like they are more durable than discs. Also, there are two memory card slots and four controller slots all built in to the console.

Moving on to controllers, they mastered two things, the joystick and the rumble pack. The joystick for the Nintendo 64 wear out easily and they're rough on the hands, (they gave me blisters) now they're much easier to use and they don't wear out as easily. Also, instead of a bulky rumble pack to go on to the controller, now it's built into it making it lighter. I loved the Nintendo 64 controller for its unique design and I was a little disappointed that the GameCube's design is more like a regular controller but over all they did a good job.

Nintendo 64's memory was could be great than terrible. Some games didn't need memory cards because they had built in memory, and then sometimes one game could take up a whole memory card. The GameCube made this simple. There are three memory cards sizes, 59 blocks, 251 blocks and 1019 blocks. Each game takes up a certain amount of blocks, for example, Super Mario Sunshine only takes up 9 blocks and that's a pretty big game. So you get a lot of room on one memory card which means you will be spending a lot less money on memory cards.

Most importantly the games, there are 640 games on the GameCube so there are plenty to choose from and most of them are family friendly games. The PlayStation 2 and Xbox may have more games but most of them are not all that great. GameCube has a lot of great franchises and tons of the same games the PlayStation 2 and Xbox have anyways.

Here's my take on GameCube's graphics. The bars have been raised on and the GameCube's graphics have definitely improved. Improved 3D backgrounds and smoother characters make it a good console to get.

One more thing this is a pretty cheap console and most family's can afford it and you get so many fun games so it's worth the price. I love Nintendo and the Nintendo GameCube does not disappoint so why not pick one up.

Super Mario Sunshine
$19.99
As soon as I started playing this game, I didn't want to put it down. There is never a dull moment. The graphics are gorgeous, I still awe at them every time I play it. This is definitely the greatest looking game the Gamecube has to offer.
Okay being the Mario fan that I am, I would have to say this is tied for best Mario game ever made (My personal opinion, next to Super Mario World.) If you haven't played it yet or are really skeptical about playing it, just play it. There's a pretty good chance you'll really like it.
Okay, not much change in story here, except the game takes place on Isle Delfino, a luscious, tropical paradise. The scenery alone is what got me hooked to this game, other than it being the next 3D Mario game being released and needing to play it. As I progressed through the game, I kept wanting to see more of it. The gameplay is just like Super Mario 64, just with your handy water-pack, F.L.U.D.D. The game also has new, tricky spot for you to maneuver through that had not been seen in Super Mario 64.

All in all, this is a game for any Mario fan and it should not, I repeat, NOT, be overlooked at all. It's an adventure that you won't forget.

Super Smash Bros Melee
$29.99
This game is awsome.I got a gamecube controller for my wii and got this game.It was a great deal. It is my favorite game.Definitely buy it.

Official Nintendo Classic Gamecube / Wii Controller
$29.99
I've run through a couple of controllers in my playing time and none have been like this controller. Usually when you buy a new controller it takes a few months to break it in, so it starts playing like you want it to for games like Smash Brothers Melee and other games that require precise timing with the controller, well this controllers comes ready for that without the wait or the preparing, it feels like a dream.
So if you want to play Smash Brothers Melee in an advance manner or any other game for Gamecube or Wii, this is the classic controller to get.
