    If your phone is high end enough you could plug in a USB c controller and emulate GameCube games.

      How are you this behind on current hardware? Emulating GC on a phone hasn’t been required “high end enough” hardware for over a decade. Even low and phones from several years ago can do it with higher resolution and mods like HD texture packs etc.

      You do realise you can easily run them on a normal computer? “Dolphin”, the emulator, will run fine on really old or low-spec hardware (like 10-15 year old bog-standard laptop).

        Yeah, but you can take a tablet and a controller on a train, in a car, or anywhere.

    Oh man those were the days. I remember the Cube feeling so much more advanced than the 64.

      I’d highly recommend the picoloader if you ever want to mod it. It was surprisingly easy to install.

      I giggled but feel guilty, cause it’s just a picture of two Asian women, right?

        Yeah, not the same actress or anything… I think it’s something about the first girls smile that reminds me of the Goldfinger twins.

    I loved the GameCube, but I still love it too.

    It might actually be my fav console of all time.

    Damn yeah it makes sense why they were so weird for physical media. It’s what’s started everoand no cma deny that Japanese culture loves tradition.
