Anyone who is familiar with the opinions I have written for Dooyoo (and I know a lot of you like to study my work) will be aware that I am a big fan of the Nintendo 64. I have had one since 1996 and top-rate games like 'Super Mario 64', 'Wave Race 64', 'ISS 64', 'GoldenEye 007' and 'Perfect Dark' have kept me coming back for more four years later, despite my subsequent purchase of both a Sony PlayStation and a Sega Dreamcast. Naturally, I have been following the saga of the Nintendo Dolphin (now renamed Gamecube on account of its shape) ever since rumours surrounding a successor to the N64 started circulating around two years ago. .  Read the complete review

I know I'm trying to resurrect a dead elephant but here's my two cents. The Gamecube was fantastic and severely underrated. Hated on by the 'big gamers' seeing it as a kid's colourful playground. The same gets banded around about the Wii, another delightful console. The Gamecube boasted a graphic engine superior to the PS2s and when handed to the right Visual FX guys it could rival Xbox.

Although the Windwaker was first laughed out of the Internet by many, it was ...  Read the complete review

After having owned a Gamecube for 4 months now, I decided to finally bite the bullet and purchase an RGB cable in order to "improve the picture". I've never owned an RGB cable for any other console as I couldn't really see the point in spending good games money on a superfluous accessory. I've now changed my mind. To anyone who owns any of the 3 latest-gen consoles, I would strongly recommend getting an RGB cable. If you're not impressed then you can always take it back to the shop, but I don't think you will be once you see how improved your video games look. I went for the official (Nintendo) cable at £20.00. Although the ...  Read the complete review

I Hate School. One of my main reasons for hating that God Damn thing is the GameCube, Nintendo?s latest super console, which was released about a week ago, on the 3rd 2002. I got it on its release date and, after begging numerous times to my mother about staying off, she let my come out of school at break. I wasn?t in my lessons anyway; I was on a distant planet, playing Luigi?s mansion and others. There was another delay before I finally got my hands on the thing; I had to drive over to Bradford for the weekend. A 1-hour drive sat staring at my cube. It was hell, I can guarantee you that. When I got my first chance, it was like Deano76 ...  Read the complete review

The gamecube has been built as a dedicated gaming console, the standard cube will not have built in DVD player or CD player because this inflates the price and its not what gamers want according to Nintendo.
