I know a lot of people didn't like you, but I did! You didn't try to lure us in with gimmicks and promises of candy like you're younger brother did to us. You made us press buttons and use the directional pad to play games. Sometimes we even used the corner buttons, too!
I hope when we see the new member of your family next year, we get to see more of you again.
Most likely, I'll still be walking up and down on a plastic board and somehow it'll be called exercise. But I guess it'll be fantastic because it'll finally be in "HD". Oh man.
COME BACK, GAMECUBE.
