It really annoys me that they use the DS startup on all the tv adverts because I hear it on the advert and I'm like "Who took my DS without asking?" I'm kinda protective of it since my mother broke the hinge the week before the warranty ran out. :roll: Although I should probably be thankful I got a new one, but I still haven't got my green star back on Picross...

Oh, yeah - topic. Right. I'll go Gamecube.

Startup?

You mean the BIOS?

I really like GameCube's...haven't seen the DC prototype? Unless you mean the Easter egg one, I've seen a video of that on YouTube, it was kinda neat.

Don't really like the DS's or the Wii's...I hate having to press A to skip the stupid epilepsy warning every time :x I know the DS can be flashed to skip it, but I'd rather it just automatically skip to the next screen as soon as it's done playing (instead of waiting 15 seconds or however long it is).

And to think, I used to think the epilepsy pamphlets that came with every single game were annoying :roll:

I like the kiddy version of Gamecubes. It makes me smiley.

I was thinking Hey, I'd like to be a part of that! I'd love to raise a gaming company from a baby!

But then you disappointed me.

I like the Gamecube, but since you did not say consoel, my favirout game start up would be the start to the super smash bros brawl, and the start to Assasins creed, that one is realy cool. And the Super smash bros always release a cool start for every game, brawl did not disapoint.
