GameCube is an oddball to me. On the one hand, there's some sentimentality as it's the first console I seriously got into growing up, as in - first console to stand in line to nab at launch, largely the first machine I was able to buy my own games for, etc. Partly why it's a portion of my username heh. It also has what I feel is still the superior form of Smash Bros. And as weird as that controller is in some ways, I still feel it's THE way to play Smash.
Most of it's other great games I love on it though are actually from 2nd/3rd parties like Metroid Prime, F-Zero GX, RE4, Eternal Darkness, Tales of Symphonia - but these are still some of my all-time favorite games. Funny enough, there wasn't a ton on the Nintendo-made side of things for the Cube that compelled me. Wasn't crazy about either the mainline Mario, Zelda, Star Fox, or Mario Kart games.
