The Gamecube is one of my top 5 consoles.
It’s my #1.

No, I cannot. I've always felt bad for Sega kids.
Our family went from NES to Megadrive to PS1, and they were all great!
Even the Megadrive?
We couldn't exactly afford bundles of games, but most of the games we did have were awesome - Sonic, Gunstar Heroes, Streets of Rage, Earthworm Jim, ToeJam and Earl. Good times.

Yeah, Gamecube holds up very well. N64, on the other hand... with those controllers...

The GameCube's Z-button and tiny d-pad suck in retrospect.

Phantasy Star, Shining Force, Landstalker. First party sport games were pretty great too - much better than Nintendo sport game attempts.

That's true.. but I don't recall it being a problem .. unlike N64's ever loosening joysticks and weird claw shape

All consoles are portable if you're willing to unplug them.

Wasn't there a Sony Mini Screen for the last model PSOne for gaming on the go?

There was a screen for the most recent PS1’s and for PS2’s. I want to say the Dreamcast had one too.

I used the PS1 one once back in like 2002, the screen resolution sucked.

The N64 and Gamecube controllers were both abominations, but the WII and Switch aren’t much of an improvement. The OG Xbox was a ginormous piece of shit but the 360 was a little better. The PS dualshock pretty much perfected game controllers though if you ask me.

Oh also Durden texted me and said he wants to pick Bubsy 3D.

I bet that's a 1080p screen too.
