I had a Game Gear, and loved it, but comparing it to the Gamecube? Show me its RE4. |
Whoops, I should say 6 million copies, thanks for pointing out my error. About RE4, I thought that was one of the most overrated games of all time. I've finished both the PS2 and GC versions and while the GC version is more fun it still didn't impress me. I didn't find it frightening in the slightest, the A.I. is terrible, not being able to do things such as lean to avoid projectiles and having to pause the game so often to change weapons and heal is unintuitive and detrimental to the immersion of the game. I remember that while I was on a bridge approaching the lake where you fight Del lagos a mob of ganados approached. I had to pause and equip the shotgun, unpause to shoot them to the ground, pause and equip a grenade, unpause and throw the grenade into the pile, pause and equip the pistol, unpause and finish the survivors, then curse when another mob appeared >_<. The only GameCube title that I really enjoyed was Metroid Prime, my second favorite game ever created by Nintendo after Earthbound. I'd say that it is more then fair to compare the GameCube to the Game Gear, the Game Gear had some great games like Shinobi I & II, Ristar, Crystal Warriors and the Defenders of Oasis. |
For your sake I'll ignore that blasphemy and let's just agree that RE4 is not your style of game. You seem to have gone into it expecting a third-person-shooter style experience.
Now, I could believe that somehow the Game Gear has a wider variety of great games that happen to appeal to your personal tastes than the Gamecube does, but objectively, no way. From Super Mario Sunshine and Mario Kart DD!! to Eternal Darkness and Baten Kaitos to Paper Mario TTYD and Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles to Ikaruga to Mario Strikers to Super Smash Bros. Brawl, et cetera et cetera.
I mean, honestly, the Gamecube had almost twice as many games and Nintendo is legendary for its first party. It's not a shame to admit that it has a good selection ... or that you don't happen to like it.

I absolutely hated Sunshine and Crystal Chronicles and I don't enjoy sports games so no Strikers. I don't like Smash Bros., I never had much of an oppurtunity to play Baiten Kaitos despite my friend's insistant recommendations and I already played Ikaruga on the Dreamcast. For the GameCube I only really enjoyed Metroid Prime, Eternal Darkness, Double Dash, Paper Mario TTYD and the Rogue Galaxy games. I approached the system without any bias and it is in my opinion, the second worst system that I own. I doubt that anything will ever change my mind.
