Debating whether to pick up a GC

ssbb_lover · 07-18-2006, 02:50 PM

The gc controller is really comfortable, I don't like the wireless because they're to bulky, but the ones with cords r comfortable.

The bird works alright - but I find that I lose more Mario Kart races when I play with it. I wonder if latency has anything to with that. . . its probably just a mental set back. I for one like wired controllers because when you are done and you want to put the controller down you tend to drop them - but the wire lets you ease them down slowly without taking your time to carefully place them. Now obviously the wii controller has to be wireless, but I for one think wireless controllers are overrated. . . Now wireless keyboard and mouse on the other hand. . . thats the way to go. At any rate GC is still a great system and I would reccommend picking up a second hand system with a few games and "wired" controllers at a swap store - but I would also reccomend getting mario kart. . .obviously. The good thing about swap stores is that you can get rid of your crappy games (like the non goldeneye bond games for 64 for example) And put them toward something new - Like GC. I would reccomend looking into that for anyone interested in picking up a gamcube - and if you really get into it you could pick up twilight princess when it comes out too.

i highly disagree that the gamecube controllers are compfy. they are compfy when you are just holding them but i find the button placement is horrendous for the mature gamer or the gamer with large hands (me). when i play a gamecube game i find im constantly accidently hitting the c stick and pressing Z when im trying to press R and the b a and y buttons mess me up alot ... other then that i think the gamecube is a great system but i can't play a system if the controllers dont work for me

Then get the bulky one's..?(I'm 14 by the way so...my hands r a wee bit smaller.

I agree I like smaller controllers. Thats why i bought 3 Microns

martini178 · 07-24-2006, 04:33 AM

microns .. i can hold those in the palm of my hand (well almost) that would be very interesting .... i am actually thinking of the gamecube again and i think i will give it a chance .. maybe i will borrow my friends i havent played animal crossing in a while and i need my fix... (i love animal crossing) last time i played it was 3 years ago at a friends .. (he moved) hmm.... all i know is the xbox s controller fits perfectly into my hands.. but then again im used to it so. im going to give the cube another chance

ssbb_lover · 07-24-2006, 01:49 PM

Yeah, plz do. It's a system worthy of second chances

Personally, I don't see how you can dislike the controller. It just takes a little getting used to. And if getting used to the controller means you can play ssbm happily, then its worth getting used to. But I'm the kind of person that can use pretty much any controller, but the GC controller is my favorite.

Exact same w/ me. I can adjust to anything, but I think it's the most comfortable. But I guess that's just us nintendo fanboys talkin, eh Trickz?

luigi's mansion was a good laugh.

Man I love the Controllers for Gamecube, whats really uncomfortable is PS2 Controllers god i hate them :P

But the best games to get would be

Zelda Collectors Edition
Mario Kart DD
Mario Party (Any of them i recommend 4 but others will think different)
Sonic Riders
Sonic Heroes

ssbb_lover · 08-01-2006, 10:20 PM

There not bad, but then again I have a PS2 and I play Ratchet & Clank alot, so i'm used to them. Here's the thing, I hate xbox controllers and I never play xbox, imagine that....

I also am waiting for the Wii, don't own a cube so I have not only the Wii games to look forward too, but also all the cube games I missed.

ya, i would wait for the wii if u really want nintendo games. i own a cube and i wasnt too impresed with most of the games on it. so definetly wait for the wii. it looks like its going to have much better games and u can get the good games that were on the cube as well.

ssbb_lover · 08-07-2006, 11:13 PM

Ya, it's only gonna be another 2 months or so, it's worth the wait for those of u who don't have a cube. I personally thought it had a huge amount of games that were fun, but they can wait till the wii comes out.
