I thought they were weird when they came out. I laughed at and mocked the GameCube.
“Ha ha. Not a real system. My Dreamcast has better graphics. My roommate’s PS2 eats that for lunch”.
Then I had regular movie night at by buddy Craig’s house and he showed me Pikmin. It all made sense.
I had my own the next payday.

i also laughed at the stupid purple lunchbox and its weird controller, and then the pikmin preview they did at some event in japan that i watched on ign convinced me to get a gamecube day one and it was extremely worth it and the controller is still my favorite controller ever

In many games you predominantly use one face button over the others. The gamecube controller puts the focus on accessing that button comfortably with the others in easy reach from it. And makes it very obvious to newer/dumber players which is the main button to press.

Well the original GameCube controller has a myriad of problems: the tiny stiff d-pad, lack of an L2 button, lack of L3 and R3 stick buttons, lack of a select/menu button, ittt bitty Z trigger.

But I'm just talking about the modern reimaginings that are in the GameCube style, but tend to fix the d-pad, replace the Z button with a better shoulder button and also put one on the left, and add your menu/home/screenshot button and stick triggers. In these the only problem left is the button layout, which is only better for a handful of specific first party gamecube games.

for most of the games you were playing on it, simple was definitely better imo. but i'm also extremely nostalgic cuz my childhood was the GCN library, so hell,

Kenson is so so on it.

https://youtu.be/o46e1aEgzlY
The GameXPlain guy xplained that he was very enthusiastic about it.

I’m looking forward to it. I haven’t touched my Switch at all in the last couple months since I built a gaming PC. I’ve been exclusively using that and Steam Deck. Tears of the Kingdom was the last game I heavily used my Switch on and it was hard even using the Hori Split Pad Pros to play after so many hours of holding the Steam Deck. I plan on getting Super Mario Wonder and Super Mario RPG next month, so the Nitro Deck is arriving just in time.

I had a lovely week at work last week and wanted to get a voucher for myself as a treat. Website wouldn't let me buy any because I already had one? I redeemed one for TotK, and the other for the SMRPG remake.

So, will it not let me buy another set until SMRPG actually releases? Is that what's wrong? I wanted to burn another set on Mario Wonder and the Princess Peach game!

This doesn't sound right at all, but would be a very Nintendo thing to do.

The support page says you can have 8 active vouchers at a time.

I tried again and that time it worked (used the website). No idea what was wrong before, other than I had an incredibly lovely week and my brain was mush when I tried!

Regardless, Treat for Making it Through Hell Week acquired and pre-orders for Princess Peach and Mario Wonder secured. Thanks, all. Makes me feel better. :unsmith:
