The Nintendo Gamecube, put simply, is a great machine that runs better technology than the PS2. It has a lot of great exclusive games, especially from the geniuses at Nintendo, and their semi-alliance with Capcom can probably give us a lot of good things to expect in the future. Personally, I have no use for certain Mario-type games, but there is much more than that available. Also, you have to remember the Gamecubes great accomplishment of securing a large number of third party deals, especially with ports of multi-console titles. The N64 failed miserably at this. Everybody is so quick to blame Nintendo for putting out a bad console, but the Gamecube is indeed an worthy achievement in my opinion and the reason it has not sold as well as the other two consoles is people see it as the one with the most "childish" games, but the ones worth a more mature audience's attention are there as well.

I don't see what the point of complaining about the price drop is. Nintendo needs a solution for lacking in sales and this is the one they are going for. And considering the price drop is so drastic, they probably can't afford to cut prices in their games. Look at the older one's, though. THey are so cheap! And buy some used games for heaven's sake! I bought RE Zero and Metroid Prime for a combined price of 40 bucks!

Stop complaining!

Ok, I'm done now. Hope I did not offend anyone.
