Though the Gamecube was by no means Nintendo's most successful console, that didn't stop it from having some truly great games. Matt Beaudette of Gaming Irresponsibly runs down his ten favorite Nintendo Gamecube games.
Daav from NoobFeed.com gives his vegetarian colleague Mario an ego boost, by shedding the positive side to the non-animal slaughtering lifestyle. Not everyone who eats mushrooms is a tripping junkie and it's high time(s) to see the advantages of plant life adoration.
"Yoshiaki Koizumi, the director behind Super Mario 3D Land, has told the Official Nintendo Magazine that he would like to remake Super Mario Sunshine for the Nintendo 3DS. Koizumi also told the publication that he would love to see the majority of Zelda games remade as well as the Super Mario Galaxy series all in glorious 3D."
Mario was given a very unique attachment in Super Mario Sunshine, the FLUDD. With this device Mario could use water in many different ways, my favorite was the hover nozzle. I found out today that that's actually real, and it can be yours for $130,000. Check out the video of it after the break:
"As the father of the Mario series, you'd think Shigeru Miyamoto wouldn't have a favorite child. But he does.
At an event in New York City this week, the Nintendo legend proclaimed Super Mario World as his favorite in the series. And that got us to thinking...which game is actually the best?
You could make an argument for just about any one of them. In fact, we're about to do just that."
"I just want to start off by apologizing for the title of this article. It’s a lie. In no way will these games help you beat any kind of heat. Unless the games are made out of ice cubes and you play them by dumping them down your pants, these titles will not help you survive the sun which is trying oh-so-desperately to kill you."
The GameCube had a great lineup of exclusives in its vast library of games. Some of these games have become Wii remakes through Nintendo's New Play Control! series, while others have been left high and dry. These are five of the top GameCube games that deserve to be remade for the Wii.
The sixth generation, or 128-bit generation, of gaming pushed video games to new limits that really allowed impressive 3D visuals and massive games. With the success of Super Mario 64 and Sonic Adventure 2 behind them, how would the Italian plumber and Blue Blur fare on consoles such as the GameCube, PlayStation 2, and Xbox?
"Both Sony and Microsoft could learn a little something from Nintendo and how they handle their major franchises and mascots. Microsoft has milked the Halo franchise to the point that the original developer can’t stand the idea of making another one. Sony on the other hand has pushed the God of War franchise a bit too much (six releases, with a seventh coming in Ghost of Sparta in under five years), but hasn’t sacrificed quality for quantity as fans of the series and critics alike both rave ab..."
"Video game fans have a lot of hobbies outside of gaming itself. But more often than not it all ends up going full circle and coming back to the wonderful world of gaming. Sometimes family and friends support our gaming habits by making stuff for game fans. Cakes are one of those hobbies and things."
Metroid Prime, Kingdom Hearts and Super Mario Sunshine led the charge in 2002, the year that saw The Sims become the highest selling PC title of all time, Rare switch hands from Microsoft to Nintendo, and the launch of the first video game television network, G4.
Counting down the top games from 1990 straight up through 2008, Binge Gamer's James Walker takes a look at the best (and worst) games from the year of the GameCube, 2002.
Bret Elston over at GamesRadar goes through the changes in the size (both general and relative) of one of the oldest and our favorite hero/villan pairs in video gaming history- Mario and Bowser.
From the original NES games to the new Wii releases - things have gotten a little different throughout the years.
"The blog is essentially a repository for Pixeloo's anonymous design exercises, but the first to catch on was Mario. Rendered with alarmingly large eyes and a scraggly complexion, the untooned rendition had a face to make one rethink the "cute corporate mascot" angle."
Honestly, there's no other way to put it. This tracking week is still well into the holiday season in Japan, and if it were somehow possible, DS Lite and Wii numbers increased. 41 out of the Top 50 are on a Nintendo system, with no 360 showing, and Sony representing the other nine. The PSP continues the have same problem that it had last week. But still, the Nintendo numbers, frankly, are completely and utterly absurd.
At the top of the rankings is our newest DS million-seller, Mario P...
