GameCube is Nintendo’s fourth major home video game console and a successor to the Nintendo 64. It was the first Nintendo console to use optical disks as the primary storage medium. Unlike its competitors, Sony PlayStation 2 and Microsoft Xbox, it used mini-DVD format instead of regular DVDs which resulted in console lacking DVD-player feature. The GameCube controller was drastically different from previous Nintendo controllers and used an asymmetrical design of its face buttons. The wireless version of the controller called WaveBird was released in 2002. The GameCube became Nintendo’s worst selling home console at the time with about 22 million copies sold worldwide. However, it was praised for its game library with many games gaining widespread acclaim from both critics and players.
More on GameCube
Some of the most notable of them include: Paper Mario: A Thousand-Year Door, Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, Metroid Prime, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Pikmin, and Super Monkey Ball among others. The best-selling game on the console is Super Smash Bros. Melee. The game sold 7 million copies and had an active tournament community up to this day.
RAWG publishes an average score only once a game has collected
6 or more user votes. Below that it
returns 0.0 — while still returning the full vote
breakdown. So a game nobody has ever rated and a game with five
“exceptional” votes arrive looking identical.
Those suppressed scores are recomputed from the breakdown, which
recovers 19
of the 49 games here that would
otherwise read as unrated. The rest have
no votes at all — mostly obscure, regional or
unported titles. That is a real absence, not a gap in the fetch: there
is nothing to retrieve.
Everything with a vote ranks in one table, because the order is
weighted rather than a raw mean: a score is shrunk
toward the all-years mean of 3.79 (too few ranked games here to take a
local one) in proportion to how thin its evidence is, so
a two-vote 5.0 settles near the middle instead of on top. Metacritic joins at half that weight where
it exists —
2 of these games have
one.

Ordered by a weighted score, not the raw
mean: each game's own average is shrunk toward
the all-years mean of 3.79 in proportion to how
few votes it rests on, and Metacritic is folded in at half that weight
where it exists. A 6-vote 4.67 therefore ranks below a 2,100-vote 4.45
— the raw figure is shown under each score, and
sorting
by raw score ignores the weighting entirely.
Bars show how the votes split —
Exceptional, Recommended, Meh, Skip.
A ~ on the raw figure marks a score recomputed from a
breakdown RAWG suppresses.
