Nintendo - Gamecube owners - View Post

I had been out of console gaming ever since the SNES came out, and only got back to it when I happened by chance to play Super Smash Bros. Melee in nov/dec 2005. I was instantly addicted, quickly acquired a used Cube for dirt cheap, and proceeded to spend 2006 playing all the dirt cheap, but excellent, Cube games I had missed during my long period as a PC gamer. Never felt left out during the time, as there were more than enough GC games to keep me busy for the time being.

I ended up getting a Wii for Yule 06, and finally a used Xbox during the spring, so I guess that broke my Nintendo exclusivity. My gaming purchases are pretty random and opportunistic, as they mostly occur when I see something I want for cheap enough. =P

Fully intend to get a PS2 eventually, but second hand ones are still almost retail priced (100€+) around here, and I managed to play most of the games I was interested in by doing 1-2 week console exchanges with a few friends anyway. Probably borrowing my Wii to a friend after I've had enough of MP3 and SMG, so I'll get to finish Okami.
