Classic Game Room reviews GAUNTLET: DARK LEGACY for Nintendo Gamecube from Midway, also available on Playstation 2 PS2 and original Xbox (played for this review using a Nintendo Wii with Gamecube controller). This CGR review of Gauntlet Dark Legacy has Gauntlet Dark Legacy game play from Nintendo Gamecube showing Gauntlet game play in HD action.Read more
The GameCube looked like a lunch box and even had a handle, but it was home to plenty of great (delicious) games.Read more
Kururin Squash review! http://classicgameroom.com/vaultpages/vaultpage/kururin-squash-nintendo-gamecube Classic Game Room reviews KURURIN SQUASH! for GameCube from Eighting and Nintendo released in 2004. This incredible puzzle / arcade game is the third in the Kururin series and first on the Nintendo GameCube with advanced graphics, lasers and flamethrowers! Pilot your blue duck in a helicopter through tight levels filled with enemies, fire, spinning fans and destruction doom walls! CGR Kururin Squash video review features Kururin Squash Nintendo GameCube gameplay. For whatever reason this was never released outside of Japan and must be played on either a Japanese Game Cube or a GameCube that can somehow play Japanese games.Read more
