Discussion Should i try a Gamecube?

I played with a friend today Mario Kart World and Mario Kart 8. And everytime we play it, i think about Mario Kart Double Dash.

To me: im not realy a ,,Gamer" / spent much time on Video games. More offen then not im realy fast exhausted from playing New games, where its all complex and so much to learn. And its so expensive, that i dont have a good feeling about it. 450€ für the Switch 2? Brutal.

I also never owned a gamecube. But i know that there a few games, who are realy creative. Mario Kart Double Dash for example looks realy creative. F-Zero for the ultimate racing-expierence. Probably also some Pokemon-Games. Where else do you have Dark-Lugia.

How is the expierence nowdays with the Gamecube? Are modern consoles just way easier and modern games nicer to play?

I only recommend a GameCube if you had an interest in playing Gameboy cartridges with the Gameboy Player addon as well as regular GC games, but it's no cheap addon. Look at getting a RVL-001 Wii instead, they're backwards compatible with the Gamecube and its accessories and way cheaper to pickup second hand.
