It's basically Gamecube a year behind with less powerful hardware. And, to add on, it may seem watered down because they're battling the Xbox for the 2nd spot.
Gamecube is underrated, that is my opinion. It's excellent, except for it's competition which gives it an automatic "apparent" opinion out of everyone. Consider if this console was released with the PS2--it would be doing fantastic right now. It truly is a good console.

I strongly disagree... In my opinion Gamecube is way over-rated.... well, at least here at GT
GCN's 2002 line-up was supposed to "own" Ps2 and Xbox... but in my opinion, to this date, it's the exact opposite. *shrugs*
My Expectations for GCN before it launched were soooooo high. I thought it would be the only system I couldn't live without. Then plop, Zelda is screwd up... then, plop once again, Aki not working on the WWE titles... then a HUGE plop, Rare is sold.
So GCN only has one way to win me over, new content.... Metriod hasn't won me, and we will see about Cel-da... but before this date there isn't much. I'm not the biggest fan of SSB:M, and Mario Sunshine was good, but far from great... Sonic is a great game, but I also had it on DC (til my bro took it)
So um, like I said, IMO it's just good, nothing spectacular or life changing though
