Right now I have a Nintendo 64, an it's the only system I have ever had. I really want to get up to date, but the Wii doesn't really apeal to me that much. I don't really like the idead of the motion sensor thing. I just want to get a game that I can play with a regular controller. Nintendo is definitley my favorite platform (...or whatever you call it) because they have tons of original characters and games like Mario, Zelda, Samus, Fox, F-Zero, etc. So..... I decided to buy a Gamecube. The games I plan on getting are:

Mortal Kombat: Deception I'm a huge MK fan! This is definitely my first choice.
Super Smash Melee How can you not get this game for the Gamecube?!
Mario Kart: Double Dash Another must have for the Gamecube.
F-Zero GX Big fan of F-Zero X for N64, this looks like an awesome game.

So basically the point of this thread is to discuss which system you think is better. Also, you can reccomend games for either system

PLEASE READ
If you don't have, or haven't played both systems, please don't tell me which one is better. However, if you have played one of them, feel free to talk about whether it was cool or not.
