Forums - Nintendo Discussion - should i buy a gamecube?

Just watched ign's comparison of Resi evil ngc version vs ps4 remaster and damn those gamecube graphics look beast for a console so old now(obs ps4 version looks better). I never played on a gamecube before cos everyone had ps2 back them so im thinking of buying one.

But how will it look on a 50 inch tv cos wii.game s look terrible? Plus this year i already bought wii u ps4 and 3ds. What you guys think are they any good, or it not aged well?

Yes but i hate. Graphics look terrible on my tv and cba with motion controllers



It will look the same on Gamecube as it would on a BC Wii. There will be no difference between the picture.

You need an old tube tv to enjoy older consoles like Gamecube, on HDTV's they look very bad. Analog tv looks worse on a HDTV to.



Get a wii it'll be cheaper I reckon, also wii games look terrible because they were made for standard output not hd output, so if you had a wii they would look better, as a wii can also play GameCube games you will be getting better out of your wii games, also saying Tha you need a crt tv is bull



old skool

If you have a Wii, you don't need a GCN. It's BC. If you think the Wii looks terrible, the GCN will only look worse to you.

All SD games look like ass on an HDTV. The best picture you're going to get is by using a component cable and playing it in 480P. So, yes, basically it won't look any better with a Gamecube.



I love the gamecube but save the money, use the backwards compatibility of the Wii if you can.

Graphics wont be as good regardless of what you do sadly.

**** You can always use the dolphin emulator. Looks better on there.
