cool console but not my favorite
I bought this 2 years ago, I also bought sonic mega collection and sonic adventure 2 battle, the other games are oakay to me but It wasnt my favorite console, Graphics wise its okay but i dont care about graphics, the mario games were okay but the n64 ones were better too me, it wasnt a revoloutinary console, the n64 snes and nes and wii are and were, its good for parties but i could only afford to have 2 controllers, the only thing i would buy this system for if I didnt own it would be the mario party games, and lego star wars, but thats on wii(the complete saga)but its not a bad console in my opinion my favorite 6th gen console was dreamcast since it came before all the others and had some awesome party games and the sonic adventure series(i like the dreamcast versions better than gamecube)
but that doesnt mean its a bad console.

nintendo game console
This product not only worked like a brandnew console but came with the booklets and everything. This was a great replacement console for the one that stopped working.

Don't Listen to 1 Star Reviews!!!
I have owned this Console for 7 Years and... it still works!! I found the GCN to be a very fun and nice console.

Story
The GCN has been loved and hated by people. The console's Durability is awesome; even if you dropped it from 7 Feet it would still work (I haven't tried this but I heard it works after a 7 foot fall)!! The GCN has been given tons of games; alot of them are fun (Like Pikmin 1 & 2, Mario Party, and alot of other Mario Games too), some other games can't even last you an hour (I don't want to type these because I don't want to start a so called "Computer War").

Gameplay
The Consoles Gameplay might have been the worst aspect (to some people). But I found the Gameplay to be enjoyable in some cases; rather it's Paper Mario to Pikmin Gameplay gets an Okay from me!!

Controls
I really don't know that much about controls about past games (judjing that I am 10 and i've owned this console for 7 years). But I really do like the set-up for Controls on the GCN, though on some games the Controls might not even respond the Controls get a Okay from me.

Graphics
Graphics are probably another pretty bad aspect (for some people). Sometimes in GCN games the controls are so ridiculous you might even turn the system off and return the game! But the Graphics are okay for me!

Sound
Some beautiful Sounds are in the GCN too. On some games the Sounds might even put you to sleep they're so beautiful. But at other times the sounds are so annoying (mostly because they're reapeted alot of times). Sound is really an EXCELLENT touch to the GCN.

Set-Up
Set-Up is really simple on the GCN; Mainly just plug a cord into the back of the Console then take the Audio and Video slots in to the front of the TV. Then you have the AC Adapter; just plug that into the back of the GCN then find a Electrical Plug-In. Set-Up is really simple.

Controllers
Alot of people are commenting on the horrific Controllers of the GCN. Half of the Controllers to the GCN don't even work. The're alot of Controller makers for the GCN: WaveBird, Pelican, MadCatz, Intec, Nintendo (of course). Out of all of all of these I think Intec is the best followed by Nintendo then Pelican, then WaveBird, then MadCatz. Some Controllers are Wireless witch is pretty cool but trust me some don't even get a Connection!!

Memory Cards
Memory Cards for the system are made by MadCats and Intec (Intec being better). The Memory Cards can fit in the palm of your hand and barely require any traveling space!! There are alot of Memory Cards you can select from: Some are 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, and 64MB.

How The GCN Looks
Well its a Cube... umm... umm... umm... thats it!

Features
Power Button, Reset Button and Disc Cover Open button on the top. Handle on the back makes it east to carry around. Two Plug-Ins on the back (see Set-Up). 4 Port Controller Slots and 2 Memory Card Slots in the front. On the Botton is a place where you can Connect a thing where you can play GameBoy Advanced Games!!

Thanks for Reading, Jesse Jones GCN Fan

Oh and I would highly recommend this Console!!!!!!

Sister loves it
I gave this to my sis as a christmas gift because she always wanted a system. She seems to enjoy it, she loves the fact that it is strong and durable because it has taken a couple of falls already and am sure if it was a another system it would not be working to good right now

SSBM, RE4, Animal Crossing, Mario Power Tennis, Mario Kart: Double Dash!! & Super Monkey Ball...
...is all you need! REALLY!!

Those games are great!

SSBM <> If you need a fighting game, pick this one! It's awesome. Very fun for one player or for the said player and his/her 3 friends! 4.75

RE4 <> One of the 2 other games that can touch SSBM, or surpass it. Adventure/Horror at its very goriest, action-packed and just lovely. You play as Leon Kennedy once again. 4.75

Mario Power Tennis <> This game is the second in the series, and improves on it in about every single way! 4.5

Animal Crossing <> Like the Sims, but with less SUCK. The animals that surround you are adorable and the people that you can choose are super-cute too. Doesn't get boring for a while. And you and your friends can share, having their own homes, and getting to know your new-found friends. 4

Mario Kart: DD!! <> Fun in the beginning, but after you unlock things it gets a tad repetitive unless you have 3 friends on hand. Worth a purchase regardless. 3.75 stars.

Super Monkey Ball <> Super-fun, super -riginal, super-banana'd out! 4 characters get in these crazy balls, and are pit against each other. You have so many mini-games to partake in that it'll make your head spin, and you will probably be nauseous. My favorite games were Target and Golf. Characters were AiAi, Baby, Mimi and GonGon, my favorite being AiAi. He was also the second cutest, behind the Baby. 4.25

Box Art: A
Ease Of Use: A+ (A breeze to set up)
Durability: A
Controllers: A-
Games: B- (Needed more variety/more games)
Fan: A+ (Small, but kicked butt)

5 stars.

Overall: A+ (There hasn't been a better system yet!)
