The Gamecube was such an anomaly. It followed one of the all-time greatest consoles, the N64, and offered more power, far superior storage capacity with its mini discs over cartridges and a gaming library that would make a dungaree-wearing plumber blush. Yet it never really got the love it deserved. Sandwiched between the N64 and the Wii, the Gamecube didn't have as much success for Nintendo.
But as mentioned, it has such a strong game library that any Nintendo friends with a sense of nostalgia can appreciate. Metroid Prime, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Resident Evil 4 and Super Smash Bros. Melee are some of the greatest games of all time, and they all began their life on the Gamecube. Thanks to GitHub, getting the chance to play Super Smash Bros. Melee again on modern hardware, in particular, feels too good to be true.
Thanks to some tinkering with the now famous Dolphin emulator, those good folks over on GitHub have a version that works natively on Nintendo Switch. No Linux or Android versions needed, this emulator will see you replaying Gamecube classics along with some working Wii titles as well. Super Smash Bros. Melee...
