What's our thoughts on the Nintendo GameCube?

Review Overview:
The Nintendo GameCube, released in 2001, stands as one of the most iconic gaming consoles of the early 21st century. It sports a unique and compact design with its handle and cube shape, making it stand out among its contemporaries. It boasts a robust library of influential titles, from "Super Smash Bros. Melee" to "The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker." However, it's important to note that this console is purely a gaming device and lacks the multimedia capabilities of modern consoles.

Overall Score: 3.0/5

Price 3.0/5

Price: 4.5/5
While the GameCube was initially priced higher at its launch, today, the console can be found at a reasonable price on the second-hand market, making it an affordable choice for retro gamers. However, certain popular games can still be quite expensive.

Cameras 3.0/5

Camera: N/A
The GameCube doesn't feature a camera as it's a gaming console meant for playing games and doesn't have the multimedia functions seen in later consoles. Thus, a rating in this category is not applicable.

Power 3.0/5

Power: 4/5
For its time, the GameCube was quite powerful, featuring 485 MHz processor and 40 MB of system memory, enabling it to run games smoothly. It was capable of rendering games in 480p, which was impressive during its era but falls short compared to contemporary consoles.

Battery Life 3.0/5

Battery: N/A
Since the GameCube is not a portable console, the battery life is not applicable. It needs a continuous power supply to function.
