[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

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!

Fully Charged: Clair Obscur Expedition 33, Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble, Shantae and the Seven Sirens, Mario Kart World

Start of a new series! Fully Charged is a series in which I go over games I have recently played. Each instalment will release when I have played 2-4 games, updates or demos. With less time for this blog now, I won't be doing many, if any, full reviews. This series will instead cover the games I have played critically, in a mini-review format. Mario Kart World https://store.nintendo.co.uk This is the game everyone has been playing recently if they got a Switch 2. I want to start off by saying I quite like this game, it feels quite different from 8 in a good way. One of the biggest things I like about the games feel, is the control. Vehicles in this game do not feel as stiff. How could I not mention the wall driving and rail grinding too, those add a lot more depth to tracks and are very fun to do. The new knockout tour is a great addition to the series, I find myself playing these just as much as grand prix's. Free roam is quite fun, there are some cool challenges to do within ...

[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...
