I originally had a black gamecube back in the days but had to get rid of it due to troubles. After a while I wanted to get my first gamecube colored console just like the old days. The price is indeed very steep but everything is there. The console is like new, controller, manuals, box, it's all there and the moment I touched the gamecube it brought me back to when I got it for my birthday back when it started. Overall it's a real great console and I do hope to continue playing and supporting a console that made my days.

Gamecube was an underdog in it's heyday. It was the only console in it's generation that had wireless controllers (wavebirds) made by console maker. The Gamecube controllers were one of my favorite controllers. To my knowledge PS2 and Xbox (original) only had wired controllers. Gamecube had a solid number of titles but lacked a good number of shooter/mature games and online multi-player service. Gamecube lacked DVD and Blu-ray support due to only taking minidiscs. However, there is a rare console "Panasonic Q" which is basically a Gamecube with DVD support. This was never released in USA. Moreover, by default the gamecube doesn't stream movies or music, unlike newer consoles which can install a Netflix App. No Hard Drive, you save stuff on memory cards. However, it does support Component, RF, and Composite out. Though you might have to buy your desired connector. This game system did have some good titles such as: Super Smash Bros Melee, Army Men Sarge's War, Army Men RTS, Mega Man Anniversary collection, Mega Man X Collection and Timesplitters. Over 600 titles to pick from so I can't list them all. I'd give the recommendation based on what games you want to play. If you want the maximum amount of youngster games, don't want online server, and need wireless controllers. Then pick the Gamecube. However, if you really want a better selection of shooter/mature games and online servers, check out Xbox, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. Playstation 2, 3 and 4 are great for adult gamers too. Ether way you can't go wrong, Gamecube is still a great system. It would make a good fit for just about anyone.Read full review
The main reason for buying this bundle is for the console, but the console has one problem, the sound doesnt work. For the value it is a great find, but i cant enjoy the full package.

The console works great, came with the component cord and the power cord. It also came with the Godzilla fighting game, which isn't really my cup of tea, but it's a nice addition. The only problem is that the left joystick on the controller is slightly broken: when I press it up in a video game, it's as if it's only pressed slightly up,if that makes sense. It's annoying, but it's the only issue.

I bought my GameCube the day it came out in 2001. It quickly became, and remains, one of my favorite systems of all time. I amassed quite a library for it, and one of my all time favorite games (Super Mario Sunshine) is a GameCube exclusive. Unfortunately, last fall my house got burglarized, and the burglars took my GameCube (luckily they did not take the games). I found a brand new GameCube (still in box) at a local pawn shop, but it ended up being one of the newer models that only had a standard composite (A/V) output. Since then, I have been looking for a relatively inexpensive version of the system that had the component video output. Obviously, GameCube games will only look so good on an HDTV, but I can tell a HUGE difference when playing progressive scan compatible games like Metroid Prime and The Legend of Zelda Wind Waker in progressive scan as opposed to the normal display mode. Glad to have this back in my house!Read full review
