I would think the best way would be to have the GC app only install games you tell it to. That way it doesn't balloon out with things nobody is going to play like bmx xxx

Most GameCube games are actually around half that if you scrub out all the dummy data that comes with direct disc rips. Like a properly scrubbed Melee is 900mb, still big but maybe the app could be 20GB and have twenty games or so

That'd be so cool. The GC has some really good games on it.

I've been playing GC games on the Wii U with Nintendont because the Wii U basically has a Gamecube inside it because it basically has a Wii inside it so the compatibility is excellent

if you have a Wii U laying around definitely set it up

No, click the menu button in the upper left, there's a toggle to switch from rent to buy.

Aren't Gamecube games around 1.5GB? Not that we'd ever get a ton of them anyway, but I'd imagine with the way they have them all in a single app that the Gamecube app would become quite big pretty fast.

They vary in size. When dumped as ISOs they're all standardized at 1.5 (or whatever the actual number was), but that was a requirement to press them on the disc, a lot of that can be filler data. There's a program to remove the filler space on GC ISOs and it can make a huge difference. I have a modded GameCube with a GCLoader so I run games off an SD card and when I used the program I was able to quite a few more games onto my card after removing the filler data.

Not unless your fetishes range towards horrible abominations, furries or some combination of the above.

Almost universally "boring looking plot relevant human being" ends up being the best.

It was in an FFVIIR thread a few years back, I can't recall for certain but I would assume the discussion started with how thin Tifa is despite being a martial artist and then we got into how underweight women in JRPGs are, just like how absurdly young JRPG characters are comes up all the time.

EDIT:

Nope, actually it was about other FF girls

It allows you to jump into the barren sky map whenever you want instead of using save points. There's a bunch of saves everywhere, so if you're a person who is like "Ah poo poo skytown has the bombs I need but I'm 2 minutes away from a save spot, beam me up now". it's worth it.

e: i'm bias cause i made an nfc of it for $0, I did use it a bunch but I wouldn't say $15 worth if you don't like the amiibo itself
