Sadly, Nintendo’s purple little cube just couldn’t compete against Sony’s juggernaut of the generation. That doesn’t mean there weren’t great games on the system, that will forever be stuck on the system!

The Nintendo GameCube is like the lovable underdog of the console world, resembling a colorful lunchbox with a handle that screams, “Take me to your friend’s house, and let’s party!” It’s as if Nintendo decided to give gaming a fun-sized makeover, creating a compact, cube-shaped delight that could survive a tumble down the stairs and still boot up “Super Smash Bros. Melee” without missing a beat.

Playing on the GameCube feels like rediscovering your favorite childhood snack—it’s nostalgic, satisfying, and always leaves you with a smile. The controllers, with their quirky button layout and trigger buttons that feel like you’re squishing marshmallows, are a perfect match for the system’s quirky charm. Whether you’re navigating the spooky halls of “Luigi’s Mansion” or racing at breakneck speeds in “Mario Kart: Double Dash!!”, the GameCube’s library of games is a treasure trove of fun that proves good things really do come in small, cube-shaped packages.
