Sure, it could've been so much more, but there's no reason to bash it this much!

Huh? Wasn't the GC a really good competing console? Or am I missing something?

EXACTLY. So suddenly it's a kiddie konsole because it had slightly less powerful graphics, a cel-shaded Zelda game, and an odd shape and color?

Why would it have gotten unfair criticism in the first place?

Most of the people I know call it a 'kiddie konosle' for no apparent reason. One of my friends has literally said this:

Friend: All the gamecube games suck!

Me: How many have you played?

Friend: One, but they still all suck!

HONESTLY.

I've never heard any GC criticism. Ever. In fact, it's a grossly overrated console wherever I go.

Next week on Things That Didn't Happen...

Also, it's called a "kiddie konsole" because that's many, if not most or all, of the games were, games aimed at kids. The graphics weren't great at all, and even though I grew up playing low-poly, smeared-textures games, they're still for the most part an eyesore.

No, your point was that the GameCube got unfair criticism because "no apparent reason" and "because it had slightly less powerful graphics, a cel-shaded Zelda game, and an odd shape and color?". While the other guy proved that some of the top games were mature, I'd now guess that people might sometimes label it as a kiddie console is because most of them remember playing Nintendo games on them and their predecessors, and almost all Nintendo games IIRC were aimed towards kids.

I believe this whole thing was in bad taste, but I really dislike people who give it UNFAIR criticism like 'ALL TEH GAMS SUK LOL'. So, point taken.

Suppose so, but it's fair to be hesitant to play GC games because like I said, low poly can be an eyesore.

@guyeva

That's possibly one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard on here.

it deserves it


- the smaller discs were bottlenecks on how much data you could put on a disc
- "third party games? what are those?", nintendo said
- hardware didn't get enough of an improvement
- pretty much all of the good games were 1st party or sponsored by nintendo
