Would a modern day Gamecube succeed?

Also, can we PLEASE stop saying Nintendo is for kids. 

Nintendo isn't, but Gamecube certainly was. The console was shaped like a Purple Lunchbox and had a Fisher Price controller. Plus the flagship games were a weekday afternoon cartoon version of Celda, and Mario with a squirt-gun.

The Gamecube was the most adult focused nintendo console of all time. First of all, Wind Waker is ten times the game that Twilight Princess is. Aesthetic isn't everything. Secondly, METROID FU**ING PRIME. The Gamecube had F-Zero, two excellent Metroid games, a fantastic Zelda game, decent third party, eternal darkness, a controller that didn't require you to waggle..

 

Your crazy if you think the gamecube was for kids. The Wii was for kids.

Look at the Gamecube and tell me whether it has an adult in mind. It looks like a Fisher Price lunch box.

 

Nintendo has never made an adult focused console, ever. They might have had mature games on the console, but never have they made a console with adults in mind. In fact adults were the main people who never took videogames seriously when Nintendo was on top.
