    The killer app for me was Rogue Squadron 2. I got the Onyx GC at launch and later got the matching GB player. And Metroid Prime is most certainly a killer app as well.

    It’s a shame that Wave Race wasn’t as good as the N64 version; they’d botched the craft physics. And I was hoping that I’d see the next addition to Pilot Wings.

    I picked up a knock of Wave Bird controller from MicroCenter last year. It’s too bad that the WB didn’t have feedback.

    I got my GameCube for my 11th birthday. I'm 29 now. And I got my GameCube in the middle of its life, December 25, 2003 to be exact. Because of the nature of human development, any console the GameCube's current age (introduced over 20 years ago, discontinued over 15 years ago) will always be classic, as even small children who played it late in its heyday are now adults.

    Anyway, my favorite GameCube game has to be Super Smash Bros. Melee. I've tried playing other Smashes and Melee is my favorite to this day. The GameCube controller is just perfect for it, and the graphical style holds up extremely well to this day. NASCAR Thunder 2003 was another one I really liked, yes I know it was a cross-platform game but the GameCube version is the one I had.

    seeing posts like this makes me feel old

    the gamecube was the second game system ii bought new after of high school. i got the poekmon XD GC console, played it with a few friends from high school who got one around the same time and then we all drifted apart from there. some for good reasons, others for not. because of this the game cube always kinda bummed me out. my pokemon XD gamecube is back in its box with probably less than 50 hours on it.

    when ever i want to play any thing on it i grab a trashed black one i saved at a thrift store with a GBA adapter strapped to it, and i dont play games i had when i played with those people. even though it was from a not so great time in my life, i would always buy systems for $5 or $10 when i came across them. glad i did, made quite a bit of money and good trades with them.

    i think i still have like 20 of them some where in a box? i dont know what i have or dont have any more. i'm trying to move on with life after a recent incident and everything is packed up still. trying to keep it all packed for a faster move.
