Gamecube was nothing great. Very few good games. Super Smash Brothers and Metal Gear Solid 1 are the only games you really need from nintendo. Maybe some mario or zelda if your into it.
Nintendos greatest game was Resident Evil 4 and it got ported. So really there isnt a reason to buy a gamecube. It had nothing that made you want it and nothing really stood up against Xbox's HALO or PS2's any game you wana add in (maybe God of War 1&2 or the Final Fantasys"
Nintendo was, imo, merely trying to stay with the big boys and obviously did that with the graphic improvments and more comfortable controller, but fell short with lack of good games.
Bottom line..GAMECUBE FAIL

Gamecube wasn't exactly a failure but just lacked third party support. In terms of what Nintendo was doing in the late 80's and early 90's in which they nearly monoplozed the gaming industry then yeah it did fail. With a little over 14 million sold world wide that isn't anything compared to the 40 million ds and ds lites sold, and over 150 million nes and snes sold world wide.
Xbox lacked alot of third party support in the begining but towards the end of the consoles life got alot of third party support. Support from third party devolpers was lagging even in the 64 yrs, due to they're use of catregies rather than cd rom or dvd rom. The gamecubes mini disc could only hold about 1.5 gigs, about 16 megs built in ram so it would seem to be limited as far as games but it really wasn't. Though the xbox and ps2 both supported dvd rom and later dual layer dvd with 8.5 gigs gamecube gams really didn't look to much different.
Gamecube for a long time was offered as the cheapist console at $99
Ps2 was $150-$200 price range
Xbox was the ps3 of its time because it was a power house, 64 megs ram, built in 8 gig hard drive, built in ethernet. Againist sony's 32 meg ram ps2. Still wasn't much competition because of price, lack of immediate third party support, and not to mention it was big, bulky heaby and unappealing.
Nintendo now has takin a different approach and has more third party support than ever, while Sony has the least amount due to lackluster sales.

I don't think it was a failure, I just think that good games came out too slowly to compete with the PS2/X-Box machine. Many people already had PS2, and X-Boxs at the time when the GC came out. And honestly, 1 good game would come out for PS2, then 10 bad ones. GC had poor 3rd party support, which is what truly killed it.

Why difficulty getting the Gamecube once you may get a Wii and play each and every of the Gamecube video games plus each and every of the Wii video games. There quite is not any good factor to purchase a Gamecube to any extent further... except you in basic terms love that little lunch field! i prefer to propose getting the Wii because of the fact not in basic terms are you able to play those video games yet you may get Twilight Princess for the Wii, the Wii version is 10 circumstances greater suitable.

GC failed, but only a little. To many people thought it sucked and was for little kids. They should have released it with some M games. Its to late now. Game Cube is a failure.
