64MB Gamecube Memory Card

November 05, 2002
With an absurd 1019 blocks of memory space, this memory card is a must have for all gamecube gamers alike! Whether you're playing Fifa (with its insane memory chomping space) to games such as Splinter Cell (usually taking up 50 blocks), you have nothing to worry about!

I laughed myself silly upon the thought of a memory card for Gamecube being able to hold so much information, but its fantastic! This is a MUST buy for your gamecube console! Its just as important as the controller/game's itself! (To an extent that is...)

I sold my old useless 8MB for a 64MB memory card and i was rewarded with no memory card errors, no hassle, no swapping memory cards because i ran out of space. This memory card will last you forever, ... Read More:

Mario Kart: Double Dash! (GameCube)

from: Nintendo

November 14, 2003
The review by "Olsta" that seems first up when I log on, sums up the nature of this game.

Nintendo will eventually release the Wii version so you can steer with the Wiimote. In the meantime this version is a great way to enjoy a truly great game for all the family. As with all Gamecube games on disc you need the Gamecube controllers (Not the Wii Classic one) and a Gamecube memory card if you want to save progress and points. Memory is not necessary to play when the family just load it up for an hour of fun! I got a set of Gamecube wireless controllers to keep the wirefree environment (Madcatz ones), and invested in an original Gamecube memory card due to forums indicating problems with third party ones. We have had no problems using ... Read More:

GameCube Console - Black

from: Nintendo

October 10, 2003
This was the first console that I ever bought excluding the handheld Gameboy Advance SP. I have only ever purchased Nintendo consoles and have not been disappointed yet. Nintendo products have a certain magic to them, and the Gamecube is no different. I picked up this amazing console for just £25 at my local Game store. I wasn't expecting much from this little cube, considering its age and upcoming rivals such as the PS3 and the XBOX 360. I walked out of the store after having bought Spiderman 2. I immediately booted it up and discovered the true power of the Gamecube. The graphica rivaled the PS2 and the XBOX and was truly stunning. Although the only game I feel which has truly shown the full extent of the Gamecube's prowess was Legend of Zelda: ... Read More:

Super Smash Bros Melee

from: Nintendo

May 24, 2002
I cannot get over how good this game actually is. Me and a group of friends have been playing this since it came out on multiplayer, and we just refuse to get bored of it, even now one of us has an Xbox 360 and Halo 3, Super Smash Bros finds itself in a gaming day routine everytime, without fail.
The single player is solid; classic mode, adventure mode, all star mode and event matches are just some of the choices on offer, and with so many characters to get used to, there's plenty of life in this game for a single player, but with this just on it's own, the game would be quite unremarkable. The game is designed with Multiplayer in mind, and you have everything you could possibly want at your disposal for it.
The frame rate is continually perfect, ... Read More:

Super Mario Sunshine

from: Nintendo

October 04, 2002
I bought this game to play on the Wii after having played Super Mario Galaxy to the bone and getting all 121 stars, which were indeed difficult and stressful to get but not at all compared to Super Mario Sunshine.

The game seems rushed and not well-finished at all. Surely Mario does look much better than the precarious Super Mario 64 design but the game looks like a testing beta version of itself. The graphics aren't great, the music is... just there, and the gameplay ranges from funnily easy to insanely difficult. Plus the cameras are almost manual and only turn by themselves when you're in tight situations, usually making you die.

Okay, lots of people like difficult stuff - as I do - but the difficulty of Mario Sunshine is gratuitously difficult. ... Read More:

GameCube 251 Slot Memory Card (GameCube)

from: Nintendo

September 20, 2002
I used to own a few Nintendo Gamecube Memory Cards because there's just not enough memory on some Memory Cards to store the required data onto!
This was going on until I came across this Memory Card, which can store up to 251 Blocks of Data! I thought to myself this is just brilliant and what I need to store and keep all of my Nintendo Gamecube Data on!

My Grade For The Memory Card: 8/10: Enjoyable, Fair-Play, Thumbs Up

My Wish: Sometimes I do find that when I transfer data from one Gamecube Memory Card to another, the Gamecube may not allow me to move or copy data from one Memory Card to another! The most typical reason is "This Data Cannot Be Copied!" or "This Data Cannot Be Moved!" I only wish that all Gamecube games allowed users to transfer ... Read More:

GameCube Controller Purple (GameCube)

from: Nintendo

May 03, 2002
I had difficulty experiencing the Nintendo 64 Controller as it has three holding points, and you don't exactly know where to position you're hands! Luckily enough, when I got my Nintendo Gamecube, I got used to the Nintendo Gamecube Controller quickly and impressively without hassle.

You'll find that most of the buttons on the Gamecube controller are easily recognizable. Most of which are as featured from the Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64 Controllers and even the Gamecube's Controller mimic's a bit from the Microsoft XBox Controller!

The only cry I get with the controller is that the joystick, has these circles on top, which are a bit rough and can make your thumb have a itch or two. But I've found out the more you use the controller the smoother it gets! ... Read More:

Nintendo 59 Slot Memory Card (GameCube)

from: Nintendo

May 03, 2002
I first owned one of these Memory Card's when I first got the Nintendo Gamecube along with Luigi's Mansion! Having that alone was no problems, as Luigi's Mansion only requires 3 Blocks to save data! However, when I obtained more Nintendo Gamecube games, for example Super Mario Sunshine (7 Blocks Required), Super Smash Bros. Melee (11 Blocks Required Without Snapshots), Sonic Adventure 2 Battle (11 Blocks Required), and Pikmin (19 Blocks Required), I was at a stage thinking to myself "How the heck am I going to store all this saved data onto this small Memory Card, it's just Unreal! You need dozens of Memory Card's to do this!" This was however until I found the 251 Block Memory Card and to put it in my opinion, that 251 Block Memory Card saved my life!

My brother however, wanted ... Read More:

Resident Evil (GameCube)

from: Capcom

September 13, 2002
Resident Evil for the PSX more or less shares responsibility with Shining Force and Final Fantasy VII for getting me hopelessly hooked on videogames in my early teens. However the laughable attempt to weave a gripping story through B-movie style dialogue was hard to take seriously, even back then. Sadly in this visually stunning remaking, the lousy narrative crushes the tension and seriousness of RE like a giant radioactive turtle would an Ice Cream Truck.

If you're a die hard resident evil fan, you've probably bought it, completed it, enjoyed/ignored the horrific dialogue and voice acting and bought the T-shirt. If you're looking for some classic horror to revive on your Wii, you could do a lot worse than Resident Evil (GC), but don't get your hopes up if you're looking for something ... Read More:

Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii)

from: Nintendo

June 27, 2008
Any doubts about the Nintendo Wii being just for Kids gets blown away by this class of a game. I bought this from Morrisons when they were doing Wii chart games for £15 each, and I decided to get this after some begging to my wife who thought it would be too violent. The way the characters move, the pick ups, story line, the music and retro bits are just genius. The only downside I find is that I am unable to link up with anyone online to brawl with and sometimes I find that the characters are too small, thats why I have given it 4 stars, which is very disappointing after enjoying Mario Kart online (which I still play regularly). As far as I am concerned, forget serious fighting like Soul Calibur and racing games like Gran Tourismo, just buy SSBB and Mario Kart on the Wii instead. Yes I do own a PS3 (COD4 ... Read More:
