Video Games part 2

When the Nintendo Gamecube came out, I bought it a week after, because I didn't know it came out. I thought it was pretty cool because it used mini-discs. (A smaller version of a DVD/CD.) This was the first time that Nintendo used discs instead of cartridges. Nintendo used cartridges to prevent games from being copied. Although, the mini-disc didn't have much space, and some games were on two discs. Nintendo had two memory slots, and four controller ports. There were many types of memory slots ranging from 4 MB to 64 MB. Some games were sometimes able to play against people around the world, using the internet. I had many games, and most of them I never even finished.

The best selling game for the Gamecube, was Super Smash Bros. Melee. It was so fun, I actually unlocked all the characters, and every stage...well except for one. It was too hard to get, and it required me to finish the 51 event stages. The stage was called Final Destination. I liked the stage Final Destination, but I couldn't finish 4 of the event stages. Super Smash Bros. Melee is part of the Super Smash Bros. series. The first game is Super Smash Bros., followed by Super Smash Bros. Melee, and then Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I don't get why it has the "Super Smash Bros" in the game. Although, I pretty much assume it's based on Mario and Luigi. I never use their characters though.

Another game I finished was Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. It was one of my favorite games on the Gamecube. For the first time in Fire Emblem, they used 3D graphics. There were many chapters, but the plot of the game was pretty much boring. Ike's dad dies, and fights a war with a lot of nations. They introduced a new class, the laguz. They could transform into animals, like tigers, cats, lions, white/red/black dragons, ravens, and hawks. You get every kind of laguz, except for a black dragon, raven or lion. You have to choose between a lion or a raven. Ravens are the fastest of the birds, and the lions are second strongest. Black dragons are the strongest, but the slowest, and hawks are stronger than hawks, but a little slower than ravens. Ike eventually finds the man who kills his father, but fails to kill the Black Knight. Ike and his companions do kill King Ashnard, the monarch of Daein. His dragon is actually a laguz, a black dragon, and one of the sons of Goldoa.

There was also an accessory that allowed people to play Gameboy Advance and Gameboy Color games, the Gameboy Player. It was actually just the gameboy game with a larger screen. The sound was improved, and balanced. I played some of my other games, but it just didn't feel the same playing on the Gamecube than the actual Gameboy. It's sort of like playing Gameboy games on computer, and playing it on the Gameboy. The computer ruins the fun of playing.
