GameCube Controller Black

from: Nintendo

May 03, 2002
im always careful when buying unofficial controllers, as they never have the same build quality as the official ones. i used to have a white gameware gamecube controller (from GAME) which the sticks just stopped working on after a year (with very little use). so i ordered this controller as a cheap replacement.

i must say that when it arrived the build quality was much better than i had expected. it is a really great shape and fits in to your hand better than anyother gamecube controller ive tried in the past and it has rubber grips on the hand grips and the control sticks (i always found that the C-Stick always seemed to slip under your finger, but non with this one).

if you dont want to shell out for an official controller ... Read More:

Mario Kart: Double Dash! (GameCube)

from: Nintendo

November 14, 2003
The review by "Olsta" that seems first up when I log on, sums up the nature of this game.

Nintendo will eventually release the Wii version so you can steer with the Wiimote. In the meantime this version is a great way to enjoy a truly great game for all the family. As with all Gamecube games on disc you need the Gamecube controllers (Not the Wii Classic one) and a Gamecube memory card if you want to save progress and points. Memory is not necessary to play when the family just load it up for an hour of fun! I got a set of Gamecube wireless controllers to keep the wirefree environment (Madcatz ones), and invested in an original Gamecube memory card due to forums indicating problems with third party ones. We have had no problems using this on the Wii ... Read More:

Resident Evil (GameCube)

from: Capcom

September 13, 2002
Resident Evil for the PSX more or less shares responsibility with Shining Force and Final Fantasy VII for getting me hopelessly hooked on videogames in my early teens. However the laughable attempt to weave a gripping story through B-movie style dialogue was hard to take seriously, even back then. Sadly in this visually stunning remaking, the lousy narrative crushes the tension and seriousness of RE like a giant radioactive turtle would an Ice Cream Truck.

If you're a die hard resident evil fan, you've probably bought it, completed it, enjoyed/ignored the horrific dialogue and voice acting and bought the T-shirt. If you're looking for some classic horror to revive on your Wii, you could do a lot worse than Resident Evil (GC), but don't get your hopes ... Read More:

Super Mario Sunshine

from: Nintendo

October 04, 2002
I bought this game to play on the Wii after having played Super Mario Galaxy to the bone and getting all 121 stars, which were indeed difficult and stressful to get but not at all compared to Super Mario Sunshine.

The game seems rushed and not well-finished at all. Surely Mario does look much better than the precarious Super Mario 64 design but the game looks like a testing beta version of itself. The graphics aren't great, the music is... just there, and the gameplay ranges from funnily easy to insanely difficult. Plus the cameras are almost manual and only turn by themselves when you're in tight situations, usually making you die.

Okay, lots of people like difficult stuff - as I do - but the difficulty of Mario Sunshine is gratuitously difficult. ... Read More:

Pokémon Colosseum (With Free 59 Slot Memory Card) (GameCube)

from: Nintendo

May 14, 2004
You capture wild Pokémon only, right?

Wrong! The lead character in this game wears a device on his arm, allowing him to snag Pokémon. However, you still can't just snag any Pokémon.

Teaming up wth a girl who has the ability to see dark auras, you travel around rescuing "Shadow Pokémon", who's hearts have been sealed shut in labs. Caring for these Pokémon and taking them to a special place restores the Pokémon to their original state.

When you've snagged all the Shadow Pokémon, and restored them, you're said to be able to get Ho-oh as well. I can't vouch for that yet, but I'm working on it.

Resident Evil Zero (GameCube)

from: Capcom

March 07, 2003
Ever since Resident Evil burst onto the scene back in the heady days of 1996, I was hooked on Capcom's survival horror series. The combination of puzzle solving, dodgy tongue-in-cheek voice acting, frantic gun battles and imaginative monsters was, for me, the ideal gaming formula. The original game received a welcome overhaul for the Gamecube a few years ago, and when a prequel was announced focussing on the ill-fated Bravo Team, I was intrigued.

But is it any good? Well, the answer is, kind of.

On the plus side, the graphics look as good as we'd expect. Zero uses the same game engine as the Resident Evil remake. The pre-rendered backgrounds are detailed and imaginative, and the character models are well realized and expressive. The soundtrack is moody and evocative, ... Read More:

GameCube 251 Slot Memory Card (GameCube)

from: Nintendo

September 20, 2002
I used to own a few Nintendo Gamecube Memory Cards because there's just not enough memory on some Memory Cards to store the required data onto!
This was going on until I came across this Memory Card, which can store up to 251 Blocks of Data! I thought to myself this is just brilliant and what I need to store and keep all of my Nintendo Gamecube Data on!

My Grade For The Memory Card: 8/10: Enjoyable, Fair-Play, Thumbs Up

My Wish: Sometimes I do find that when I transfer data from one Gamecube Memory Card to another, the Gamecube may not allow me to move or copy data from one Memory Card to another! The most typical reason is "This Data Cannot Be Copied!" or "This Data Cannot Be Moved!" I only wish that all Gamecube games allowed users to transfer data between 2 Memory ... Read More:

Super Smash Bros Melee

from: Nintendo

May 24, 2002
I cannot get over how good this game actually is. Me and a group of friends have been playing this since it came out on multiplayer, and we just refuse to get bored of it, even now one of us has an Xbox 360 and Halo 3, Super Smash Bros finds itself in a gaming day routine everytime, without fail.
The single player is solid; classic mode, adventure mode, all star mode and event matches are just some of the choices on offer, and with so many characters to get used to, there's plenty of life in this game for a single player, but with this just on it's own, the game would be quite unremarkable. The game is designed with Multiplayer in mind, and you have everything you could possibly want at your disposal for it.
The frame rate is continually perfect, it allows frantic and intense matches to be ... Read More:

Good if you have a Nintendo Wii and want to play game cube games, goes with the color. Just the right size. Better then classic controller.
