The initial GameCube launch did not really catch my interest or make me think it was a console I should purchase. One of my good friends bought one, so we would play Smash Brothers Melee from time to time, and that was about it. I'm sure Luigi's Manison, Waverace, and Rogue Squadron were OK, but those games and the later titles released during the year didn't do anything to make me think it was time to buy the system. I was content with still playing PS1 and PS2 games at the time.

However, that mindset completely changed with Metroid Prime. It was a game I had on the radar and kept checking for updates since I've always been a Metroid fan, and it had been close to 8 years since Super Metroid. I remember reading the reviews in an EGM issue, and they said, "Get this gameeven if you have to buy a GameCube to play it." So that's what I did, and it was worth every penny.
