[Thoughts] The GameCube Had Some Interesting Versions - Coolest Consoles (Part 2)


Let's look at some Gamecube Special Edition consoles!

source: consolevariations.com

In this series of blogs, I will be covering my favourite versions of each console that I have owned. Now, I most likely don't have any of these myself due to the pricing for them, but I can still see them very well online through photos/videos. However, if I do have one of them, I will make a note of it. Each part of this series will contain a top five for that specific console, this is in order as well from least liked to most liked. Anyway, without further ado, let's start!

5. Nintendo Gamecube Starlight Gold Edition

This console is my fifth favourite. Funnily enough the gold N64 was my favouirte last time, however, i feel like there are quite a few other consoles for the gamecube that look better than this. The gold on this is also slightly different in tone and doesnt look as good as the gold for the N64. That said i do still like it and think it looks quite nice. Though there isnt anything else going on for it so thats why its ranked here.

4. Nintendo Gamecube Metal Gear Solid Edition

This console is my fourth favourite. I always like the silver consoles and i think this is another silver console i quite like. The overall design is a bit bland though and there isnt any logo or anything on the controller. The logo on the gamecube itself looks nice though, I actually quite like how they kept it silver rather than colouring it, as i feel it would stand out too much and metal gear solid is all about the stealth!

3. Nintendo Gamecube Gundam Edition

This console is my third favourite. The red on this console is the right tone for me personally, makes it stand out but not too much it's in your face. I don't know anything about Gundam but the simple yellow logo fits pretty well on the center piece and the controller. Not sure we really needed the small text as well though, but its not a major issue. I really do like how the port area is black though, many others dont have that section changed at all.

2. Nintendo Gamecube Tales of Symphonia Edition

This is my second favourite console design. I really like the colour of this console and while i am not a Tales series enjoyer i think the center piece looks pretty cool. Sometimes the center peices can be a bit noisy with thier design when including characters but I like how clear and big the character is on this. The blue on the controller looks nice too, though a logo or something could have been nice on it.

1. Nintendo Gamecube Hanshin Tigers Edition

source: consolevariations.com

This Gamecube is easily my favourite one. Alot of the themed gamecubes were just stickers on the center piece but this one features a full design. While I dont really know anything about the Hanshin Tigers I do like the logo they have. From a quick search it seems to be a Japanse baseball team which makes sense upon looking at the logo. The controller is nice too, the black controller is actually my favourite so a simple white logo on is fine with me. Overall, this gamecube is not anything crazy in terms of design but it's more interesting than the others before it and features a clean design with a cool center logo not much to complain about.

That's it for part 2 of this series, for part 3 stay connected!

[Thoughts] Will Tears of the Kingdom have DLC?

  DLC for Tears of the kingdom could happen but I don't think it's likely Source: Author's edit I want to start off by saying I do not think this game needs DLC at all, though it would be welcome. Breath of the Wild had an expansion pass with 3 waves of content. Looking at the contents of that could give us an idea about what a Tears of the Kingdom expansion pass could look like. The first wave (Expansion pass purchase bonus) was available at the games launch and included the following: - 3 new treasure chests This was a very small wave featuring 3 chests of goodies. The biggest thing from this was a Nintendo Switch shirt link could wear. It was a nice little extra to start the game off with but definitely not the defining content of the pass. Moving on, The second wave (DLC pack 1) offered a lot more in terms of content, with it offering these following things: - Trail of the Sword - Master mode - Heroes path mode.  This wave offered many things to test the players skill...

[Thoughts] Post Game Content Is Awesome!

Post game content is something I greatly  appreciate in games ~Intro ~ Many games over the years have included post game content, it's a way to give more content to players who really enjoyed their time with the main game and were left wanting a little more. Sometimes it is in the form of a few bonus missions, while other times epilogue stories can happen. I will now give some examples of good post game content and discuss what makes them good. ~Dark  Chronicle~ The post game for this game is quite big. After the main story you follow the main character on another small adventure to a place called the Zelmite Mine. This mysterious mine is huge, forming the biggest dungeon in the game by quite a bit. This Dungeon even has multiple mini bosses, one of which being fairly important to the narrative. While the dungeon does require a little bit of grinding to be able to get through it, it isn't too bad and I never found myself having...
