Gamecube.

The other consoles were pushing for more, but instead the Gamecube only cared about being small?

I was fresh off Nintendo 64 so I was expecting Banjo-threeie, other awesome Rare games, a new Mario, the new Zelda, and finally a Pokemon game on a modern console!

Hahaha

Mario Sunshine was such a bad game that had none of Mario 64’s soul I never touched another Mario game after that. I hated the art of Zelda Windwaker and that it had lost all the dark vibes, and obviously none of the other games I was expecting never happened. I felt completely scammed for being loyal to Nintendo. I taught me to never be loyal to a brand.

The one and only game I enjoyed on that system was Metroid Prime, but as a child I was only allowed one new console like every 5 years and I deeply regretted not getting a PS2 instead like my friends.
