Gamecube console

Well, I've just spent the first 24 hours with my new toy and I have to say that I am a little underwhelmed. At the end of the day it is just another console, and the core of it is the controller. That is where my problems start. I like the feel of the analogue sticks but the buttons just feel oddly plasticy and the thing as a whole is just to small for my big hands.
I did manage to spend two and a half hours with Animal Crossing and it was very sweet, but I get the sense I have seen all I am going to see. I can only imagine that you just get more of the same over and over again, almost like the village stuff in Zelda but without any narrative or dungeons or peril. P.N. 03 was a bit poor too. It looked great but gameplay wise it was like revisiting all the worst aspects of Gun Valkyrie.
All in all this just really confirms my respect for the Xbox. Best graphics, best controller, best music and video, just lacking the exclusives unfortunately.
