7 Reasons The Nintendo Gamecube Is Still The Best Console Of All Time
1. It Trolled Us At Every Turn (And We F***ing Loved It)
“Oh hey, guys. Nintendo here. We’re releasing a new console soon. What? Will it have Mario at release? Not a f***ing chance. It’ll have that weak-ass scrub Luigi instead and the game is about him falling for a mailing list scam and going around a mansion with a hoover. Also, he can’t jump, so it isn’t even technically a platformer. You’re also going to get some weird monkey pinball game? Not gonna lie, we were drunk as hell when we came up with that one. Also, when Mario does come out, the whole game is gonna be super weird... oh, and we’re going to imply that Peach and Bowser totally boned down at one point. We also heard that you hated the Water Temple in Ocarina of Time so we're making the new Zelda a cartoon where the whole map is nothing but water. Peace out.”
Holy. Hell. Seriously, to this day you’d be forgiven for thinking that the GameCube was actually an elaborate troll on Nintendo fans – with the company just doing whatever it wanted to see what they could get away with. And you know what? It turns out it was all of it. They could get away with all of it.
GameCube, you were cute, weird, and you just made so little goddamn sense, but we love you all the same. In fact, we love you because of all that.
