generation design: talk about that stanky GAMECUBE

Does Viewitful Joe count as a NGC game? I mean, sure it was on there first but it did come to the PS2. You know, like most third party 'exclusives' (looking at you Res 4).

In all honesty the Cube was just... ok. Like it polished up a bit from the N64 but most great games were sequels or remakes. And while yes, Wind Waker looked very different, it wasn't worlds away from what has came before gameplay wise. And was generally seen as not as good...

Not to mention the system looked kinda ugly and didn't play DVDs (yes I know some version of it no one has does - good for you, single guy who had that) - which at the time was a hugely stupid decision. I mean, my family brought a PS2 because it was the same price as a DVD player (at some point in time).

Apart from Luigi's Mansion, Metroid Prime and (urgh) Pikmin everything good in the Cube was pretty much just a continuation of past games on the N64.

And the art style you like, that's more PS2 than NGC. Or even later Arcade. Look at Puyo Puyo or Bust-a-Move/Puzzle Bobble. Or even Guardian Legends or Megaman Legends.

Not really a style I'd say brings the Cube to mind.
