Should I get a Gamecbe?

[Luck]

If you must, get a Wii.
But, be aware! The vast majority of your games will be either Mario or Zelda, as they are the only games that consistently don't seem to be shovelware on the wii.

Personally, I'd get some PS3 games immediately after getting the Wii(cause they release some awesome games on Wii shop) since the good/crap ratio seems to be significantly higher on the PS3, but only because it takes a lot of money to produce games on it.

I don't need to say anymore.

I take your Metroid and raise it to Wii awesomeness.

I'd get a Wii, due to the backwards compatibility and the larger game library available for it (Virtual Console + WiiWare + Standard Wii titles + GameCube... need I go on? But if you're strapped for cash, then get a GC.

Yes, but you can get MP 1 and 2 for, like, 20 bucks, max.

The third one will cost more, unless you like playing it better on the Wii.

Depends on how much you're willing to spend. If you have the money, then get the Wii. You'll be able to play Wii games, plus some Virtual Console, WiiWare, & GCN games. All you have to do is get a GCN controller & a memory card to save your games as well as some games & you're set.

Though if you're strapped for moneys, you can just get the GCN since it'd be cheap.

Buy a Wii, it has all the hardware from a Gamecube AND Nintendo still make games for it.

If you can afford the Wii then I'd advise that since you can play both wii/GC games on it. However if our budget only extends to the GameCube... then without a doubt get it. I still play mine more than my Xbox 360.

Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg...

Here I thought I was the only one who played that game 0.o

If you just want to play Gamecube games, I think you should get a Gamecube. There are sooo many great games to it, and if you find a cheap one it's even better. You won't regret it!
I also recommend chipping it (all games get much cheaper that way :P) , I actually did it a month ago. :)

To encourage you a bit more to buy a Gamecube, here are some great games I love:
* Super Smash Bros Melee
* Metroid Prime
* The Legend of Zelda: Windwaker
* Pokémon XD Gale of Darkness
* Mario Party 6
* The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King
* Spyro: A Hero's Tail
* Super Mario Sunshine
* Mario Kart: Double Dash

Those are actually the only games Ive bought, the only ones worth buying. ^^

Yes. But they weren't excactly "classics".

 

[XtinaIsMeLuvinWWE]

I'd say go for it, I have one atm and still play it all the time. There are some seriously great games on it and they're probably all quite cheap by now :)

But the games are hard to find.
