Wow, I did not expect this to come. Thank you for sharing this story with us.
At least now I know finally the reason for your dislike of GCN.

What the hell? What is happening to the world? Why should we care if you love or hate GC? Consult a doctor.

I would have to say that's a good thing.

I'm ashamed to say i've never actually played a GC NES, SNES, Wii or a WiiU. I remember playing N64 at a friends house. But for me my childhood was spend playing Gameboy and ps1.

Every word ryan types is gold. Now off with you!

Judging by the fact that you relate leaving a console behind with growing up and that once again you are playing in a console meaning you once again returned to infancy, I would guess that a pediatrist is the way to go.

Metroid:Prime.

You missed out on one of the greatest games ever made, and arguably Nintendo's finest ever to replace a tire!? From playing 'tag' with your 'friends'? No-one forced you to do anything; This is all you.

The Gamepube rocked! I loved it! Enjoyed it more than the PS2 in some sense. There were a plethora of memorable exclusives that still resonate with me today. I couldn't care less about the 'kiddie image'. I overlooked that and enjoyed the system for what it provided - great games.The Wii on the other hand ... big fucking meh!

cool story,bro.

The Gamcube is Nintys best system. I'm so sorry you didn't get to enjoy it to the fullest.
