I did end up getting a GameCube (well, I didn't buy it, it was given to me as a gift) and I got the GameBoy Player and it has been great to use.

I still have a GC with a Qoob modchip, but hasn’t been set up since a while. I love the 2 Baten Kaitos RPGs which are exclusive GC games, great stuff.

This thread hasn't seen any activity in a while. So, here is a video from Top Hat Gaming Man talking about why the system was not the success Nintendo wanted it to be...

I think saying the Gamecube is a failure is a bit strong. It made money at the end of the day. It remains one of my favourite consoles.

I have one that I got a few years go and I like the system. Maybe it didn't do was well as Nintendo itended, which would make it a relative failure. But it seems to have sold plenty!

Gamecube imports. I have a small number of these.
I'll kick off with the reason I bought a JP console. Mr Driller Drill Land. This won't work with the memory card when using a Freeloader so you need a JP console. It is almost worth it on its own.
Click here for a good overview of it.

That is cool. The Japanese console is not US compatible, is it?

Don't think so - but I could be wrong. I think the BIOS is different on JP GCs. You see evidence of that when playing a JPN game with a Freeloader - some dialogue boxes are just garbage instead of Japanese text.

Amazing looking game, how much do Jap GC's go for these days?
