 Is a Gamecube worth buying?

Yes and no, Sounds ominous right? Well the truth is the gamecube is definitely worth buying. However what many people do not realise is that certain Wii consoles have the controller port hidden away on the top of the console and the ability to play gamecube games.

This can often be a much more cost effective way to play gamecube games. It also means you have a console that can play games from 2 different generations.

Personally nothing beats the look of the original console so it will always be my go to device. The major benefit of the Wii is you can buy a hdmi adapter relatively cheap to connect up to a new tv. star fox adventures is part of video games history, with solid gameplay and the follow up from star fox assault. Mario kart double dash is a firm favourite on the console with lots of multiplayer action with it's different game modes.
