How big is the average GC game? I don't even know the capacity of their discs.

Think Mario sunshine was about a gig when I downloaded it to test dolphin. Imagine most are around 1-2 ish.

Not sure what the average game size was, but the GC disc capacity was 1.5GB. Can think of a few games that did go over multiple discs - the [god-tier] RE4 for example.

Up next on its slate? A version of the GameCube Animal Crossing is currently being tested for potential release.

Apparently it'll scale up as well - which would be just *amazing*.

Let's enjoy some music from it.

GC's too new to feel nostalgia for, honestly. Mainly because Nintendo's games haven't changed much since (I don't mean that literally but you know what I mean)

 

I'd still happily buy F-Zero GX, Monkey Ball 1-2 and PN.03, though. If they don't ask for crazy prices, that is.

They ask 20 quid for wii games on the wiiu so I bet they ask 15 quid for gamecube games.

I could be buying Resident Evil 4 again, on yet another platform. I'll do it [at a high price], and I'll damn well smile like a loon as I do.

I don't like rebuying games but I'd happily pay for Thousand Year Door.

[Bojangle]

This is going to be the greatest Nintendo console ever, isn't it?

[pulsemyne]

Oh it's NERD doing the emulation then. That'll mean it will be top stuff. They did the snes emulator on the 3DS and the new mini NES.

Good call.

 

And we can look forward to a million people misspelling 'Rogue Leader' again.

For some reason my 11 year old daughter doesn't find it funny when I say we're going to see Rouge One.

[ZONOYEMI]

I'd love to see F Zero GX but I don't know if my reflexes are as sharp as they were back then.

1.5

[Lorfarius]

Lets just settle on 1.65.

[JPickford]

PAL has 20% more cos the disks spin a bit slower.

Fun Bags Gigs.

Stolen from GAF, but could certainly work and we know Ninty loves a control peripheral!
