Unironically just use normal DVDs, the console is otherwise perfectly competitive with the PS2 and Xbox while having a great 1st party line up. But the lack of DVD playback (for casuals) and limited 3rd party support (due to the 1.4GB size limitation) really fucked the Gamecube over. My only other complaints with the console are relatively minor, like the lack of a 2nd Z-button and it being region locked.

You should get Battalion Wars and Fire Emblem at least
