That's great if you are in love with Mario and Zelda. If not, then you're SOL.

Because in the category of "racing/adventure/puzzle" games, he wouldn't have any options like F-Zero GX, Pikmin, Resident Evil, Eternal Darkness, Skies of Arcadia Legends, or Viewtiful Joe.

I don't disagree with your recommendation for the PS2 based on his preferences, but to say that Gamecube is just Mario and Zelda is like saying that XBox is just Halo and Splinter Cell.
I was referring to your suggestion of games.

Otherwise... Yes, the Gamecube DOES have other games besides Mario and Zelda. But you have to admit that the selection is rather lacking after you rule out those two genres. I think you pretty much listed every quality game right there.

Keep in mind that I did own a GC until very recently. So, I do know what it has to offer. :)

by your description it would be X-Box or PS2.

Personally I wouldn't want an X-Box: No Gran Turismo and what's even worse: No Final Fantasy!
My PS2 is all i need. Also lets not forget the PS2 Eye Toy: A real party crasher, bring this one along and you will have folks entertained for hours.
