Nintendo GameCube Trends as Fans Celebrate the System's Best Games

By Marc Deschamps

When the Nintendo GameCube released back in 2001, it struggled to find a passionate following. The console played host to critically-acclaimed games like Metroid Prime, Resident Evil 4, and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, but it couldn't keep up with PS2 and Xbox. More than 20 years later, things have changed, and the system now enjoys a passionate following; Super Smash Bros. Melee has even assured that the system still gets regular use on the competitive circuit! Nintendo GameCube is currently trending on Twitter and many fans have used the opportunity to share their favorite games and memories of the system.

Unfortunately, a lot of the best GameCube games remain stranded on the console. Games like Resident Evil 4 and Super Mario Sunshine can be played on Nintendo Switch, but there's a plethora of great games that have never been ported, including Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix, Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, and more. Hopefully, Nintendo will work to rectify that and get these games on Switch, but until then, fans will just have to keep the old console handy if they want to play.
