make Zelda cel shaded,
First of all, how dare you.
Way better presentation, on a platform that actually sold well, and somewhat more aproachable, better word of mouth.Eh, I kinda disagree. Awakening wasn't that much of a departure from the Tellius Games. Honestly I think what happened to improve its popularity was a significantly increased exposure (the Smash Bros effect mostly), and the series actually having a moment in the spotlight, not being overshadowed by the likes of Zelda, Metroid etc. Sometimes it's as simple as right place, right time.
Re-releases of the two Ike games wouldn't do Three Houses numbers sure, but they'd sell waaaay better now than they did back in the day.
this...looks worse then i remembered it.These are the best selling selling GCN titles according to Celine's thread on Install Base:
Will be interesting to see what Nintendo ends up plucking from here.
Miyamoto Apparently 'Cringed' When First Shown Wind Waker's Art Style
According to a new video by DidYouKnowGaming, Shigeru Miyamoto shared a similar sentiment to many a gamer about Wind Waker's art style.www.kotaku.com.au

Yeah well, let's launch with a Luigi game, make Zelda cel shaded, give Mario a gun, have no DVD player, sell Rareware, have our big new IP be a timed strategy game, and turn Pokemon Stadium/Snap into some weird RPGs, and then see what happens.
Who's Miyamoto?
Mario Kart on Switch has outsold the combination of the top 10 games on GC lol
Yes, more Pokémon info of some kind is today.Am I remembering wrong or was there something about more pokemon news very soon?
Some old guy who once walked into the Nintendo headquaters and occupied some rooms. Usually runs around and flips tables upside down and there's rumors he started to grow a small garden in one of the occupied rooms.
Nintendo doesn't know how to get him out, and apparently no one reported him missing.

Wasn't the eye one.oh fuck did you get the eye one
I've gotten the eye one constantly and I hate it
Is he like Koizumi's understudy or something?
Saved this post with the last line frWhy is everyone talking about cool Gamecube games?
Luigi's Mansion deserves a (real) second shot. It's better than the third game.
Pikmin 2 is best Pikmin.
Star Fox Assault is good, actually.
Paper Mario is just as good as its annoying fans will tell you.
And, of course...#FreeViewtifulJoe.
Ackchyually, Paper Mario is better than what us annoying fans will tell you.Paper Mario is just as good as its annoying fans will tell you.

Nintendo is focused on remastering (or remaking) games that people keep asking for. Nintendo pays attention to social media and message boards.
worked on Kirby spin off for quite a while, surprisingly haven't work on Dream Buffet
Lets cut all those where they would want you to buy the current iteration:
smash,Animal Crossing, mario kart, party...
He's like Tetsuya Takahashi for Scrimblo BimbloWho's Miyamoto?
Jesus software sales on the GameCube were a complete disaster.

Yeah, I feel like sometimes people overrate how much NuFE as a whole is different from the old games.Eh, I kinda disagree. Awakening wasn't that much of a departure from the Tellius Games.

Does that mean a FE6/Binding Blade remake is still possible? I want that so badly :>Nintendo is focused on remastering (or remaking) games that people keep asking for. Nintendo pays attention to social media and message boards.
Oh so what you're saying is I should just immediately launch a full scale social media campaign for #StarFoxAdventuresHDNintendo is focused on remastering (or remaking) games that people keep asking for. Nintendo pays attention to social media and message boards.
GameCube had the (semi-)unique problem that the hardware was so unpopular that it limited software sales and software wasn't popular enough to improve hardware sales. Even when they basically gave the console away.

Let's be real, the real reasons why FE succeeded and revived itself was because they for once properly advertised the series and cause of the Smash effect. Went from nearly going extinct to essentially an unkillable B to A-Tier IP.Fire Emblem grew up thanks to big change to the formula, not because of a remaster.
maybe they should haveAt least Nintendo didn´t have to film kidnapping a family for an ad to try to sell it
The reality of GameCube's popularity always shocks me. I feel like everyone in my age group who considers gaming a big part of their lives grew up with the GameCube and are still big fans. Growing up, all my close friends had one and we shared a bunch of memories.
Crazy that such an iconic device (in my circle anyway) was ultimately a big failure.
Eh to be frank, the only reason the GC's remembered to this day is due to the various mario party games, other mario games like TTYD, Smash Melee, WM/TP and Resident Evil 4.The reality of GameCube's popularity always shocks me.

That's not even all of them, GC fans love Pikmin, Animal Crossing, F Zero GX, Pokémon Colloseum and XD, Kirby Air Ride, Ribbit King of course, and some people like Donkey Kong Jungle Beat I've heard. But seriously, of course it's rememberd due to various games people love, what other reason would there be?Eh to be frank, the only reason the GC's remembered to this day is due to the various mario party games, other mario games like TTYD, Smash Melee, WM/TP and Resident Evil 4.
people in their late 20s to mid-30s on English speaking message boards.

No other reason. If it wasn't for fans loudly expressing their love for the GC to this day, the GC would've likely faded as a failure like Google Stadia..

Nah, the GameCube was hit hard by the prevailing notion of ¨Who wants kiddy games?¨ at the times due to GTA becoming a cultural phenomenon and other series trying to cater to gamers getting older. I remember as a kid so many people and even gaming mags poking fun at Nintendo´s image since Mature games were taking over fast.
I fall smack dab into that demographic but I live in Switzerland from my perspective the GC library got basically two minor spikes in popularity: When Nintendo released the Wii with backwards compatibility and New Play Control ports and later when Dolphin emulation took off. Depending on how Nintendo sells these games it won't just be "oh, I missed this the first time" but "oh, I didn't know this game even exists".Wow. Nailed me to the fuckin wall. lol I wonder how the prospect of Gamecube ports actually sounds to people outside my demo? Do they think of it as a "history lesson?" A "see what I missed" sort of thing?
We'll see how ports do on Switch and beyond. I suspect that while perception definitely played a role the GameCube mainly failed because it simply lacked appealing software.Nah, the GameCube was hit hard by the prevailing notion of ¨Who wants kiddy games?¨ at the times due to GTA becoming a cultural phenomenon and other series trying to cater to gamers getting older.

My man called Ribbit King unappealing....We'll see how ports do on Switch and beyond. I suspect that while perception definitely played a role the GameCube mainly failed because it simply lacked appealing software.
