The Nintendo GameCube was my first video game console. because it was once cheaper then a PS2 and Xbox, at GameStop. It's an interesting console. it's small for one and for two it's pretty good for how small it is, hardware wise, I mean it does have 4 controller ports and is smaller than both the Xbox and the PlayStation 2 and the Dreamcast too. Great console I'd say, it's one of the best controllers, it's a shame the gaming catalog is not bigger for it.
