You know i was looking back at the GameCube. $199 brand new and a solid $100 cheaper than any other console new at the time. Played the games locally efficiently at a lower resolution than everyone else scrunging for the best 1080i they could get that didnt work well. Games were easy to develop for it and were awesome and the thick line and simple shapes make them hold up pretty well today.

I just dont care about Nintendo going all in on the super powered hardware route. Its not like we got cool new features to take advantage of it and we have 2 games were one is just battle royal mario kart so that its at least got something to do when you are bored. I dont hear people being happy with it but saying they dont regret buying one to have it which means they had the money in the first place.

Nintendo is best when its everybody's game device. This has felt like chasing the gaming hype and i guess we will see where it goes.
