If I recall,

Super Mario Sunshine Bundle with Gamecube (Indigo) and Melee. Along with an Octopus T-shirt, a stocking full of candy, and some toys.

chilling at home, probably playing some PS1 games or something on PC -- never made it an habit to buy myself gifts, and I had stopped receiving gifts after moving out of the house

I didn't get consoles until they're 2-3 years old even back then. Think I bought one in 2002 or early 2003 I forget. GameCube grabbed on in 2004 for like $50 (only played like 4 games on it)
>>
I think I was still rocking an N64 at the time. I got a PS2 and an Xbox later on.
>>
had the GameCube already, but Melee + Pikmin + Tony Hawk 3 was a top tier Christmas
>>
PS2, even as a kid I wasn't retarded enough to ask for one of those two trashboxes
>>
>>321304832
I BEG of you people. No one replay to this obvious shitposting faggot.

mario kart with the zelda bundle and sunshine
i think i played the 64 zeldas the most because i never had a 64
>>
>>321304959
he's right tho
>>
>>321304389
Tried to find it for you, but no dice with google. It ws cobalt blue with a photorealistic Red sea giant across it with "OCTOPUS" underneath.

We live on Catalina island, so it was probably one of CIMIs

Yeah No. 6th was better then 5 in every way shape and form. 5 may have been the big 3D boom, but the games, while memorable are not as well tooled as they were in 6th gen.

And 7th/8th just lack quality period.

>mfw I will never relive that feeling unwrapping my first PS2 and playing GTA3 for the first time ever.

I hate growing up.
>>
I got my third famicom knock off in fucking 2007-8 and it was for birthday.
>>
My parents are divorced, so at my mom's I got a Gamecube (which i wanted over the ps2) and Super Mario Sunshine (the reason i wanted a gamcube) and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
At my dad's i got a modded ps2 (which i still have in good condition and still play), and like 10 third-rate but fun game burnt games like Cookie and Cream, Peter Pan, Experiment 626, Spider-Man, and others
>>
My mom bought us a ps2 and suikoden III. I had never heard of the series before but it's one of my all time favorites. I still kind of wonder how she knew it would appeal to me and my brothers
>>
Xbox. Got Halo, Dead or Alive 3, and Project Gotham Racing

Friendly reminder eternal darkness was the only good gc game

6th gen games have no repay value.

N64 a console where no two games were alike. PS1 had movies but good ones.

7th and 8th gen were terrible but at least we got games that will be good written people mood them in the future.
>>
>>321303941
I didn't get a 6th gen system until 2004. I got a Gamecube for my birthday.
>>
>>321303941
Super Mario Sunshine and Wind Waker
I miss those days. Now that I think about it, I think I just miss Nintendo. I hardly play any of their games these days.
>>
>>321307230
Reminder that Twilight Princess, Four Swords Adventures, and The Wind Waker exist, and the latter is the only game to ever match Banjo-Kazooie in feeling like you're playing in a living world, thanks to the inclusion of the Tingle Tuner and Nintendo Gallery.
>>
>>321307319
>6th gen games have no replay value

Speak for yourself sir. People replay the games as many times as they want, who are you to dictate what does and doesnt have replay value?

Windwaker has as much if not more Replay value then OOT and MM combined. Bigger more colorful world to explore, more to do. OOT is simple to the point, and you're done with it in a day.

>No two games are alike

>OOT/MM
>FF7/FF8
>Crash/Spyro

You're full of shit nostalgiafag.
>>
>>321307319
If 6th gen games have no value, why do people lose their shit over DMC3 and MGS3?

Check and mate.

Don't know of anyone who owned an XBOX, few owned GameCubes. Almost everyone got a PS2 in 2001.

Gamecube with ssbm. That was an amazing christmas.

>>321307750
Those are all linear games with low physics and high rewards, I.e. casual.

The most hardcore game you just mentioned is Ocarina of Time for converse reasons, and you just proved my point because it and MM are nothing alike. You couldn't find two games from another series more different than they are.

OoT: Nonlinear action game so deep that even today people like you know nothing about it, with self-aware low rewards (a Gossip Stone even tells you the Gerudo Training Grounds has a sucky item that doesn't merit its challenge), and high physics ceiling (they didn't program all that concusive force into bombs by accident).

MM: Linear, highly scripted adventure game, with a higher reward and lower physics cap (Link's jumps are locked in places you can exploit).

>>321308520

Yeah stopped reading there. Get your nostalgiafaggot ass out of here. OoT is the least "Hardcore" game out there.

I bet you think Pokemon Red and blue are hardcore too don't you?

Team Gamecube. It was a better system graphically than ps2 and cheaper from what I remember.

>parents divorced
>stepdad gets me xbox with Halo, some Rayman party game, and Clone Wars
>Dad is broke but teams up with grandma to get me gamecube with Melee and Windwaker

I built a solid games library off of these, didn't get a PS2 until PS3 was out. Goddamn I wish I never traded games into gamestop as a kid, at least I have most of the exclusives still
>>
>>321308842
You're fault for using "Hardcore" as an argument. I'm not even going to bother wasting time with you if all you can say is hurr casual Vs Hardcore!

You wanna talk, try doing it without buzzwords and flavor of the month /v/ terms. hm?
>>
I got a gamecube with super smash bros. melee.
It was the first time I got a system for myself and I had only previously shared an n64 with my brother.
I didn't start playing video games until 6th grade and I was in 7th when I got the gamecube.
Looking back it coincided with a gradual but steady decline in my grades.

Maybe I'm wrong as I've never played those.

My friend says MGS3 is the worse game in the series though.

Wind wake isn't colorful the sailing is pretty monochromatic without much deviation from hues between the sky and ocean. Besides okami exists and that looks way better

I got the gamecube in 2003, and it was my first tv-console.
The gameboy advance was my first handheld, which was probably 2001 or 2002.
Yes I'm a nintenbaby.

I will never forget that. Still have my copy to this day, and the original save.
