Though it looks like a toy, don't be fooled: the Nintendo GameCube is a powerful video game console that rightly deserves its place among the other next-generation game systems. In fact, its playful, appealing design and small size (the unit is a not-quite-cubed 6 inches) aren't the only features that set it apart from the others. For starters, Nintendo has quite clearly made this a game-only machine. It doesn't try to play your CD collection, run your movies, read your e-mail, or store your MP3 files. The company has concentrated its efforts on games. All the prelaunch titles we've seen play smoothly, with bright, fast graphics and great sound. Nintendo says its engineers have removed traditional bottlenecks that have, in the past, slowed down processing. New components designed by IBM and MoSys, as well as a large-capacity secondary memory cache, keep instructions moving through the system's microprocessor (MPU) at peak levels. Less

nothing

Yes
Game cube is fun and addicting. The graphics aren't as great as on the newer game systems, and the new trendy games like rock band aren't offered for game cube, but it is fun for playing more classic video games, and kid friendly.

When we first got this, when this was the "new" system out there, it was awesome and very advanced. Now there have been another 2-3 systems since then, so naturally it pales in comparison. However, there are still tons of great games out there for it and it is very fun!

Nothing is cooler to a little boy than owning a Nintendo DS Lite and my 5-year old son really loves his! This has not only been entertainment for him, but for the rest of the family as well.
He had a black one before that eventually gave out, they would only play Game Boy games in...

The Nintendo Ds might just be the greatest revolution the future of gaming has undergone, since the Nintendo 64’s 3D graphics. The Nintendo DS employs two different screens. The top screen is the main screen where the storyline...
