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

Wii is creating worldwide excitement with its control system first-of-its-kind controller whose position can be detected in a 3-D space. The controller allows users to pinpoint targets in games or move through the Wii Channel Menu with precision and ease. This intuitive control system will be understood immediately by everyone, regardless of their previous experience with video games. With this one small controller, Wii makes games both easier and more intense. Less

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!

Pros
A few nice console-exclusive titles, cheapest of the 7th gen systems.
Cons
Most good cross-platform games never make it here, too many casual games.

Introduction
I remember when I was a little kid and my best friend got a Nintendo Entertainment System. Before then, my experience with video games consisted of playing Burger Time on the Intellivision II and Combat on an old Atari 2600. I remember sitting there and playing the Super Mario...

Accesories sneak up on your wallet, a lot of filler and souless ports

Nintendo has always been a company that does their own thing. It’s a love/hate relationship with some fans, but die-hard Nintendo fans are incredibly loyal. It’s a solid guarantee that Nintendo will release games that continuously set the bar for innovation and fun. ...
