I couldn't figure it out on my first go. Then I came back to get it.

Still missing quite a lot of shards, but then I deleted my N64 emulator. The HUD for Kirby 64 doesn't work there.

I gave up on finding those shards. Now I'm re-playing Pokemon Crystal and looking for Pokemon Stadium 2 on e-bay.

The N64 is underrated.

The console or crystal shards? I think both are appreciated fairly.

Not really. Both the N64 and Gamecube kinda get lost between the SNES and the Wii - what you can call Nintendo's biggest successes. Gamecube moreso, but N64 is kinda lost to the ages. If it weren't for such stellar classics as Super Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time, well, it would be passed over entirely.

In a recent Nintendo Power magazine, there was a vote for best Nintendo system. The N64 came in first, followed by the DS and SNES.

All consoles would be passed over entirely if it weren't for their greatest games.

Yeah, but, like - you can look at the PS2, even without it's star games like FFX and such, and say "damn, that was a good console." Same with the SNES, and the NES. The N64 doesn't have a large enough spread to warrant that. It doesn't have many good games, but the good ones were FANTASTIC, so it's still remember fondly. Otherwise, well, it'd be done for.

I guess that's true. The Gamecube and Wii are sort of the same.

johnny139 · Jul 14, 2009

Mmm. But the Gamecube, I think, is going to be mostly forgotten as time goes on, because it DIDN'T have homerun games. Instead of Super Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time, it has Super Mario Sunshine and The Wind Waker, two games that were mostly panned. Sure, it has Melee and Metroid Prime, but those aren't the games that bring home the bacon, y'know?

Well, the Playstation did sort of overshadow it...(Argh! D:<) But any Nintendo fan would remember it and say they loved it. I mean, the best titles for it (OOT, K64, SM64, etc.) are on the VC. We're still missing Conker, though...:P

It's definitely a hardcore console for hardcore Nintendo fans. Gamecube was more of the same. Then came the Wii, the market expanded, but it still doesn't have many AAA games to note. And Gamecube had really memorable games too. Who wouldn't remember Metroid Prime? That was Gamecube's finest hour!

Strange that the less successful a Nintendo console is, the more likely it will be loved by Nintendo fans. Ironic, no?

johnny139 · Jul 15, 2009

Ah, but the Gamecube was ALSO shunned by a lot of Nintendo fans. I mean, I love the little box, but most of the games were just to different for fans and too much of the same for the mainstream.

Pokefreak113 · Stab my eye. I dare you. I DARE YOU!

The Gamecube was good near it's release. And especially with Melee. There are actually debates where people decide weather Melee or Brawl is better.

The Wind Waker is no exception, with it's comparrison being both Twilight Princess and Majora's Mask.

Metroid Prime just sucked hairy diarreah waffles.

pikaby · Welco Metot Henex Tlevel

Nah. Wind Waker pwns Twilight Princess any day.

johnny139 · Jul 17, 2009

Ask the general public and they will laugh. LAUGH I SAY!

I mean, The Wind Waker gets a lot more appreciation nowadays, but the ignorant masses still believe Twilight Princess is the messiah for some insuffrable reason.

While I did enjoy TP a lot, WW was still much better, and an immediate buy after I played it.

The Gamecube introduced me to very little new series. The mainstay series like Mario or Zelda weren't hyped, but somewhat frowned upon by hardcore gamers. Link was too cartoonish, and not many liked Mario Sunshine's Fludd.

pikaby · Welco Metot Henex Tlevel

Cartoonish is good. Wind Waker's art style was revolutionary and fresh, unlike those 'realistic' games.

Gamecube does have very little new series. Unless you count Pikmin.

Pokefreak113 · Stab my eye. I dare you. I DARE YOU!

The things is, many people mocked WW for it's cartoonish art style. I liked it, personally.

Destiny Guy · I think I have a girl in my avatar about 95% of the time.

Pikmin totally counts.
