Small but mighty! Remembering the GameCube, Nintendo’s purple box of delights
The first console I ever bought, it was hyped as a threat to the PlayStation, then mocked as a flop. But now, as it marks its 25th anniversary, it’s looked back on with misty-eyed reverence
That is factually incorrect. At the time it released, only the PS2 and Dreamcast were out and the Gamecube is significantly more powerful than a PS2 or Dreamcast. The Xbox didn’t release until a year later. So actually at release the Gamecube was the most powerful console on the market. And I would personally take a GC controller over a dualshock or og Xbox controller any day.
