oh nooooo :( damn I'm sorry to tell you this but the original Resident Evil 4 on game cube uses tank controls still. its just in 3d .... you cant strafe and have to stop moving to shoot and have quick turn just like the re1 remake on cube. the reason they opted for this control scheme was because they wanted it to still feel like a resident evil game.
@@maodijong3661 No, they did not. EVERY SINGLE version of RE4 uses the exact same "tank controls" and "turret aiming" system RE is known for. Just goes to show that most zoomers are literal hypocrites not even knowing what they're talking about. The nu-RE demakes were totally ruined by the OTS design and free movement.
The cube had distinct graphics relative to the xbox and ps2 at the time and each console had a certain look😍 it was a great leap from the previous gen and felt exciting to have these consoles in the home that were as powerful as an arcade machine🕹🕹📺
PS2 looked different and even Xbox did too from GameCube. Dreamcast too ofc. PS2 normally looked the worst but sometimes it tied or beat the GameCube. Dreamcast looked nice. Sometimes GameCube was best looking but if they didn't release the game for xbox or PC. PS2 was worse looking. Same games on consoles looked rather different from each other
Great content. Metroid Prime is my favorite GameCube game ever, the fact that it ran at 60fps was and still is a superb technical feature of this epic masterpiece.
I will forever miss being able to play Windwaker on my old Gamecube. Windwaker really is the greatest game of all time that I have ever played, just for the sheer amount of memories it gave me with my Dad. Playing in his room until late at night and he would always fall asleep way before I did, so I just turned the volume down and played until my eyes literally gave in. I basically know the whole game in and out and I haven't played it in more than 20 years now, I'm gonna be 30 next month, I miss it so much man. Everytime I see clips of it and listen to the amazing OST it feels just like back then. Incredible what a game can make you feel. TY for this video and showing a lot more people what the magic was all about
Get a PC. Emulate it and the whole franchise. It's as simple as that; I just recently marathoned the entire LoZ series myself. OoT and MM are still the undeniable GOTYAY masterpieces.
I remember a magazine when I was younger tested the durability of the PS2,Gamecube and Xbox by throwing all 3 of them out a 5 or 6 story window and the Gamecube was the only one that worked afterwards. Just something I always found funny. Dunno how they made it so durable.
This is a great record. GameCube rendered colours so well compared to the PS2. The Dreamcast also handled colour really well. PS2 graphics had their own dulled 'darkish' vibe, but its great to have the GC as a colourful alternative 6th gen console. I didn't know the GC video output was cleaner than Wii. That's a reason to keep using my GC instead of playing on Wii I guess. I pay on a Trinitron and the GC is very clean, especially games like F Zero, really looks "HD" on my Trini.
I always forget Game Cube came out in 2001, it felt way ahead of the PS2 and Xbox in terms of graphical fidelity at the time. It feels like it holds up a lot better today than its competitors too.
Hmm I feel like the Xbox was quite ahead of the GameCube in terms of graphics. Soul Calibur 2, for example, runs at 720p on the Xbox. And Halo was quite impressive compared to Metroid Prime, for example. Thanks!
@@VideoGameShowcase halo was 30fps and had very smooth walls and floors with nice textures. Metroid prime had bump mapping, complex environments with way more being rendered and ran at 60fps. It's not as clean cut as, a. is better than b. Twilight princess is the best looking GameCube game and the fire dungeon in that game looks better than most Xbox games. I'd argue Fzero gx at 16:9, 480p 60fps is also up there with the best of the generation put out.
@@VideoGameShowcasealso Xbox version of soul calibur 2 has more slowdown than the GameCube, amd the fabled 720p mode while nice, restricted the view back to 4:3 not 16:9, and increased frame rate dips.
@@crestofhonor2349 that's not true. You need to go look at some specs. The GameCube was more capable in multiple areas, bump mapping being one of them. Look at halo, beautiful game but flat walls with nice textures, now look at metroid prime and find me a flat wall, you can't, the levels are fully 3D modelled. There is a reason the 360 used newer versions of the GameCube architecture and not the original Xbox. Both were absolute power houses but if you're looking at clock speed, remember the GameCube had a lower clock speed on a much more advanced chipset (ATI). If you search online you'll see what I mean.
I came across a Gamecube CD when I was a child, but I never knew where that CD was from, and I only discovered the existence of the Gamecube in 2014 through a Zelda and Pokémon game that are not in this video. It's great to discover a little more about this console
Dude first of all how the hell do you "only" have around 5000 subs? You put so much work into this video and btw its amazing! Its like watching a documentary about my all time favourite gaming era (gamecube and ps2). For me the ps2 and gamecube still hold the best memories, playing games like gta san andreas at my friends house for the very first time whilest having lunch break from school. His apartment was like 2 minute walk away from school and we had a 2 hours break. So every time i got invited by his parents for lunch and after we sit down and playd gta san andreas and other games on ps2 and gamecube. What a time to be alive man! Those memories feel like a tressure.

Great video ! I love the digital output from the NGC, I use an HDMI dongle to VGA to get a neat 480p signal, then play on an old 480p Phillips LCD. Love it
What an era for gaming , that christmas me and my friends we were able to get a ps2 a gc and i got the xbox. I remember my friend playing gta , my other friend got the starwars and the luigis mansion. And i got halo, an nfl game and dead or alive 3. From there all three console would have soooooo many great releases.
Metroid Prime was the reason why I wanted a Gamecube and I was blown away by that game. The gameplay, graphics, music, and innovation, and that's a quality game I call it. When I got a Gamecube as a Christmas present, it came with a collector's edition of Zelda which combined 4 full games including the first & original Zelda, The Adventure of Link, Ocarina of Time, and Majora's Mask. I enjoyed them all and I have beaten OoT and MM, not the first two because they were hard and I got stuck at some points. Besides, I got to play Super Smash Bros Melee, Star Fox Adventures, Super Mario Sunshine, The Wind Waker, Sonic Adventure 1 & 2, Sonic Heroes, Pikmin, Resident Evil 4, Shadow the Hedgehog, and some to mention. Metroid Prime 1 and 2 were totally a different story. While the Gamecube wasn't my go-to console, it has its place.
My personal backlash to the Wind Waker graphical style, when I first saw screenshots, came partly from seeing a number of “cel-shaded” games come out and having a feeling of “oh, you too Nintendo?” However, it mostly came from being in my early to mid twenties by the time the game came out, and having seen other series, such as Final Fantasy, Castlevania, and Metal Gear, which I had all loved on the NES, take the directions they did on PlayStation and wanting the Zelda games (my favorite of all) to “grow” (more “mature”) with me the way the other series had. One of the reasons I believe Ocarina hit the way it did for multiple generations is that it had both the child and adult timelines, maintaining childlike wonder, while filling me on my own journey through life. So focusing on a child Link and using “cartoony” graphics made it seem on the surface that it was less “for me.” Of course this all melted away, when I finally played the game several years later, and not it is one of my favorites of all time. Also, Metroid Prime very much scratched that itch of seeing a series evolve as I grew older.
Gamecube was such a great contributor during the console wars. If it lacked anything exclusive, it still had the specs to match when it came to multiplat games
there is something so charming about the softness and luminosity of gamecube graphics. the graphics of most games on gamecube almost reminds me of a studio ghibli film, colorful and shiny and round. the water effects in most gamecube games was also unbelievably crisp at the time. look at the water and fur effects in starfox adventures.
Yea but if you compare say Xbox and game cube the graphics possibilities was n general very similar. Heck even Dreamcast was similar it was just that it could not produce so much polygons. What often set the games apart was the art direction itself
Ill never forget in all my gaming years the Nintendo Space World 2000 when they showed off that Link v Ganondorf footage (Dolphin tech demo) . I thought that was the most next gen rendering ever for video games and immediately had my interest in Gamecube (then Dolphin) right after Dreamcast. Ive downloaded (remember Quicktime ? 😢) and watched that video over and over again, countless times.
Back when video games were good..... I used to have Mario Sunshine and Soul Caliber. So many good memories I used to play these with my friend along with Mario Kart Double Dash as a rental
I had a GameCube originally. Bought it cause at the time, Resident Evil 4 was supposed to be exclusive. Funny how that worked out. But regardless of that, I did enjoy the system and the few great games it had. Super Mario sunshine, Metroid prime, metal gear solid twin snakes, and other ones too that I enjoyed. The best thing I remember about the GameCube, though was the attachable Game Boy advance reader you could put on the bottom of the system.I remember playing the Castlevania Game Boy advance games on my television thru the Game Cube then,which was really neat at the time.
But then it's not representative of the actual, original output. And seeing the Wii with that improved output really makes me wonder what the hell Nintendo was thinking when they made so many Wii games so blurry... the difference with Mario Kart Wii is insane, for example!
Dude really cool video. You picked a lot of great titles to showcase! Appreciate your editing and production too. Want to add that Starfox Adventures is superior to Assault in every measurable way and has the best graphics on the entire system IMO. Wish you had showed it off. Anyhow, looking forward to more content from you! Take care.
Me, watching this in 144p, "Interesting." For real though, nice touch with that rare Underwater Theme remake from Super Mario Sunshine playing at the beginning.
I love Matroid Prime its the only game I ever played that gave me goosebump a lot of time while playing. Dont know why but i guess its just the amazing atmosphere and the soundtrack
Can you do a video like this again but with the Prince of Persia games on the GC? There's TONS of vertical lines showing, and more so when you run it in 480p. not sure why it is that way.
In my personal experience with friends and what I read in a few magazines, RE4 was an absolute masterpiece and everyone liked it. It was when RE5 came out that it was squarely placed in the "Arcade On-Rails Shooter" style. Literally, RE5 plays just like a coin-op, from "prepping" your items before missions, to super forgiving and plentiful checkpoints, to a complete and utter lack of exploration (basically 100% scripted missions). I think people briefly blamed RE4 for what RE5 became. lol.
Nice! I would have included Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem as I think it's one of the best games of the era, not just the GameCube. And, for now, it's forever trapped on the GameCube - so it's literally the only way to play it outside of emulation or Wii backwards compatibility. A unique and compelling take on the survival horror genre with its sanity meter. Nothing has been this ambitious since. Edit: Also, while I like the remake for what it's trying to do, the Wii version of Resident Evil 4 remains the definitive edition for me. The motion pointer controls really take that game to a whole new level and it makes it impossible to go back to traditional controls once you've played it that way. A rare instance where the motion controls were superior.
Great video! Thank you! But I really have to defend Super Mario Sunshine. It’s an amazing game and the water mechanics make Mario jump and run even more acrobatically than in a „regular“ Mario 64. It really gives off this summer holiday vibe and I loved playing it in winter because of that. Go watch a 120 star speedrun, they look amazing. It really requires a lot of skill. And I say that as an old fart who happened to play it as an adult the first time - so no nostalgic feelings here.
Hahah I know that voice!! Great channel Dudu as always! You’re my biggest inspiration on my yt channel! Hope I can meet u someday on that journey! All the best for u and family! ❤
Wind Waker, and the other Zelda games from around that period, is my favorite style of Zelda art 👍🏼😎 I still like playing Wind Waker HD on my Wii U. It's a great game and looks and sounds beautiful. It's one of my favorite Zelda games.
Gen Z and gen alpha kids don't know and probably will never know that back then, Nintendo actually directly competed with Sony, Microsoft and even Sega. Gen z will never know that back in 2001, the GameCube was actually very powerful, especially considering how small and compact it is. It was very powerful for a little guy. The first gen z kids were barely being born at around this time while milennials were kids and teens at around this point (21 and under). I was only 10 yrs old and was impressed by its graphics and games. Loved it and still do.
Im thankful I'm gen z but I love the story and games from the GameCube generation and even before, but I know a lot of kids nowadays don't respect that era of gaming
Awesome video! I just installed an internal HDMI out and Picoboot to my 001. Everything works great so far! Still haven't tested out the GBA Player yet though. Once I get any kinks worked out, I plan on cleaning it up and giving it a nice coat of paint.
I have the original Nintendo Component HD cable for my GameCube and hooked up to my LG Plasma TV, looked pretty damn good. I got rid of my plasma in 2017 and upgraded to OLED but lost my ability to connect my GameCube to a tv so will be getting retro tink 4K to play on 77 C1
I would love a video like this for the N64, but three times as long. The N64's original graphics is one of the most forgotten /erased looks in history. No one emulates that console at original 240p resolution or with the original anti aliasing or artifacts. Emulation is cool but it can change the public perception of how the games actually felt when they released
The jump from N64 to NGC is still the biggest to me. Look at the super mario/kart/tennis/golf graphical differences on both consoles and it’s mind boggling. Both are my favourite consoles but because the NGC looks so much better, I can get more people willing to play it that don’t have nostalgia towards it, unlike the N64 which anyone without nostalgia might just hate the graphics.
We are all here for Zelda the Windwaker. I bought the Gamecube just for that Game and Resident Evil 4 No Lie. And to this Day Nobody believes me when i say it Looks better on Gamecube then on PS 2.
@18:20 they absolutely nailed Links fighting style. A real brawler style fighter using unconventional techniques and not your typical Japanese character style flashiness. That is Link to a T. I wish nintendo made a zelda game where the combat system was this way after locking on to a target.
I feel like it aged better than the PS2 to play in modern displays since the PS2 had mostly 480i games. But I still find both the PS2 and PS3 libraries superior. PS2 had FF10, FF12, Dragon Quest 8, ICO, Shadow of the Colossus… the PS3 had Uncharted, The Last of Us, Heavy Rain, LittleBigPlanet, Demon’s Souls! Don’t get me wrong, I love the GameCube, and it did have great games (as shown in the video). But I think its library was lacking in comparison to the PS2 and PS3! Thanks for the comment!!!
I think there was a reason to own a gamecube even if you had a ps2 or xbox that generation. The wii gave the ps3 a run for its money the next gen with similar hardware to the cube and a waggly stick😂 but it couldn't compete in the power dept. They were great times to be into video games with the amount of variety and invention!
@@VideoGameShowcaseI also feel there are less games on GameCube compared to the PS2, but I think the exclusives such as wind waker, Metroid prime, the resident games, makes it a definite more of a quality library, even if it's lacking in some third parties or exclusives that never came to the GameCube but to the PS2 or the Xbox original. But I think that's the reason I love the cube so much, because nowadays almost all the games are playable in every console, but at that time, you had to have all 4 consoles (I count the Dreamcast) if you wanna truly experience all of gaming in it's form. That's just my view on the topic, I appreciate your video and I hope to see yours next video when it appears on my feed, imma sub to you
i really dont feel like the original re4 gameplay is dated. you just have to play it some more to get used to it. once you know all the tricks its DELICIOUS. But yeah, I also love the remake
Don't feel bad about playing Wind Waker late. I first played and beat Skyward Sword in 2017 on the Wii U. Amazing game 🤙🏼 SHINE !! 🌞 Sunshine was always my favorite Mario game. Fastest playing, freestyle 3D Mario game. Check out the speedruns 🤙🏼 Metroid Prime was hard and confusing game. Loved the sound effects and menu music On Soul Caliber II, be Link, grab attack Ring Out everytime. Can't go wrong 🫡 On Simpsons Hit and Run, you can steal a 4wheeler if you find it MARVEL Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects was an incredible, hilarious, buggy game and can be very challenging. It's fighting style felt very unique. It's also on the PS2 and PSP. I highly recommend. Great soundtrack as well.
How dare you sir. Mario Sunshine is one of my favorite Mario games of all time. Great video though. 🙂 I guess the only game I might have added is Twilight Princess.
if you ask me how the best video game i ever had, i surelly will respond: the nintendo game cube! i love this console! perfect for the time in every way, and the games still hold until today!
I do think many 6th gen consoles have their charm visually. A lot of games have aged poorly but there are also a lot who have aged quite well. It was the last generation where Japanese developed games still dominated the market for the biggest titles before the shift to western developers being the dominant force in the 7th generation. GameCube had its advantages over the PS2 from a graphical standpoint.
Something i want to mention with MKDD controls. You can omagine that instead of turning with the front wheels, you turn with your back wheels. I can't confirm this, but i think they made it so to feel some sence of weight. Since you got a partner hanging on behind. And your partner helps a lot with that feel too, since they sway their hips and ajust for every turn you make. It's one of the Maaany things that makes this game so uniqe and fun. It doesn't play like any other Mario Kart, and that's what makes it so special to me.
The GameCube was a graphical powerhouse. Really loved that lil console. I remember when re4 hit ps2 and the graphics had to be severely compromised. It was so blurry and just ugly. Showed just how powerful the cube was. Resident evil remake also was stunning on GC.
oh nooooo :( damn I'm sorry to tell you this but the original Resident Evil 4 on game cube uses tank controls still. its just in 3d .... you cant strafe and have to stop moving to shoot and have quick turn just like the re1 remake on cube. the reason they opted for this control scheme was because they wanted it to still feel like a resident evil game.
Hmm that’s a super good point! It doesn’t feel like tank controls in third person though! Thanks!
Did it change on PS2? I don't remember have to stop to shoot...but it might just be a trick of the mind lol
Sad how RE6 used contemporary controls, but ended up being so poorly received.
@@knuclear200x its because it sucked to play! the movement was so slow, the environments looked bland and it was just poor overall.

Your take on super mario sunshine is CRAAAAAZY!!! I loved that game! To each their own i guess haha.
I really appreciate that these were recorded on a real hardware! Subbed!
Thanks a lot!!!

Great video, Mr Baksedu!
Great video man, you r very professional!
Back when video games were good.....
I used to have Mario Sunshine and Soul Caliber. So many good memories I used to play these with my friend along with Mario Kart Double Dash as a rental
I had a GameCube originally. Bought it cause at the time, Resident Evil 4 was supposed to be exclusive. Funny how that worked out. But regardless of that, I did enjoy the system and the few great games it had. Super Mario sunshine, Metroid prime, metal gear solid twin snakes, and other ones too that I enjoyed. The best thing I remember about the GameCube, though was the attachable Game Boy advance reader you could put on the bottom of the system.I remember playing the Castlevania Game Boy advance games on my television thru the Game Cube then,which was really neat at the time.
Nice video Dudu!
Wii component output has been recently improved with 480p pixel patch and de flicker filter disabled.
But then it's not representative of the actual, original output. And seeing the Wii with that improved output really makes me wonder what the hell Nintendo was thinking when they made so many Wii games so blurry... the difference with Mario Kart Wii is insane, for example!
Dude really cool video. You picked a lot of great titles to showcase! Appreciate your editing and production too. Want to add that Starfox Adventures is superior to Assault in every measurable way and has the best graphics on the entire system IMO. Wish you had showed it off. Anyhow, looking forward to more content from you! Take care.
Thanks a lot for the comment and feedback!!!
Me, watching this in 144p, "Interesting."
For real though, nice touch with that rare Underwater Theme remake from Super Mario Sunshine playing at the beginning.
I love Matroid Prime its the only game I ever played that gave me goosebump a lot of time while playing. Dont know why but i guess its just the amazing atmosphere and the soundtrack
I Really appreciate the work you put into this video! I really enjoyed it and would love to see new Videos like this! :D
I always really loved the exclusive games, how most games ran at 480p 60 fps and loading times were so short. It also introduced pikmin and pikmin 2
Can you do a video like this again but with the Prince of Persia games on the GC? There's TONS of vertical lines showing, and more so when you run it in 480p. not sure why it is that way.
I think that’s an issue with whatever you’re using to get on your TV. I have never seen that issue on a gamecube
How Nintendo GAMECUBE Games ACTUALLY Look! but actually not actually because youre not watching this on a CRT
In my personal experience with friends and what I read in a few magazines, RE4 was an absolute masterpiece and everyone liked it.
It was when RE5 came out that it was squarely placed in the "Arcade On-Rails Shooter" style. Literally, RE5 plays just like a coin-op, from "prepping" your items before missions, to super forgiving and plentiful checkpoints, to a complete and utter lack of exploration (basically 100% scripted missions). I think people briefly blamed RE4 for what RE5 became. lol.
amazing video DUDU👌
I was blessed by the algorithm, sent me Dudu's videos without me searching for.
Nice! I would have included Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem as I think it's one of the best games of the era, not just the GameCube. And, for now, it's forever trapped on the GameCube - so it's literally the only way to play it outside of emulation or Wii backwards compatibility. A unique and compelling take on the survival horror genre with its sanity meter. Nothing has been this ambitious since.
Edit: Also, while I like the remake for what it's trying to do, the Wii version of Resident Evil 4 remains the definitive edition for me. The motion pointer controls really take that game to a whole new level and it makes it impossible to go back to traditional controls once you've played it that way. A rare instance where the motion controls were superior.
I love Mario Kart 7. By far, my favorite of all Mario Kart series. Greetings from Peru! Wonderful edition with a wonderful graphics
Thanks a lot for the comment!
Great video! Thank you! But I really have to defend Super Mario Sunshine. It’s an amazing game and the water mechanics make Mario jump and run even more acrobatically than in a „regular“ Mario 64. It really gives off this summer holiday vibe and I loved playing it in winter because of that. Go watch a 120 star speedrun, they look amazing. It really requires a lot of skill.
And I say that as an old fart who happened to play it as an adult the first time - so no nostalgic feelings here.
Skies of Arcadia was an amazing game. I played the Dreamcast version. I miss games like that.
Got this on my recommended, great video!
Thanks a lot!!!
3:07 "How a console from more than 20 years ago...."
WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY
Had never heard of it but it does look awesome! Thanks for the suggestion!
Hahah I know that voice!! Great channel Dudu as always! You’re my biggest inspiration on my yt channel! Hope I can meet u someday on that journey! All the best for u and family! ❤
Wind Waker, and the other Zelda games from around that period, is my favorite style of Zelda art 👍🏼😎 I still like playing Wind Waker HD on my Wii U. It's a great game and looks and sounds beautiful. It's one of my favorite Zelda games.
Such a great video as always, the quality on your videos keep growing!
Thank you very much!
Gen Z and gen alpha kids don't know and probably will never know that back then, Nintendo actually directly competed with Sony, Microsoft and even Sega. Gen z will never know that back in 2001, the GameCube was actually very powerful, especially considering how small and compact it is. It was very powerful for a little guy. The first gen z kids were barely being born at around this time while milennials were kids and teens at around this point (21 and under). I was only 10 yrs old and was impressed by its graphics and games. Loved it and still do.
Im thankful I'm gen z but I love the story and games from the GameCube generation and even before, but I know a lot of kids nowadays don't respect that era of gaming
If you have a retrotink 4k why not display them with crt filters? Some look very good.
TH-cam doesn’t handle filters well. Compression ends up crushing the quality of the video with filters!
Unexpectedly started crying from nostalgia and seeing a beat up GameCube. Feeling very old. I can’t even finish watching. 😭
How’d you get Resident Evil 4 to fill up the whole screen? Or is your screen capture zoomed?
Zoom in during editing, while playing I had black bars
u r the besto bro, congrats man, what a video 👏🏻
I use the GCHD MK 2 from eon gaming, though I hear the carby is really good too
Awesome video! I just installed an internal HDMI out and Picoboot to my 001. Everything works great so far! Still haven't tested out the GBA Player yet though. Once I get any kinks worked out, I plan on cleaning it up and giving it a nice coat of paint.
Nice! I don’t have the GBA Player so that’s something I couldn’t test! Thanks!
I have the original Nintendo Component HD cable for my GameCube and hooked up to my LG Plasma TV, looked pretty damn good. I got rid of my plasma in 2017 and upgraded to OLED but lost my ability to connect my GameCube to a tv so will be getting retro tink 4K to play on
77 C1
awesome video!!
I was hoping it would go into the GC’s graphical technology more.
I would love a video like this for the N64, but three times as long. The N64's original graphics is one of the most forgotten /erased looks in history. No one emulates that console at original 240p resolution or with the original anti aliasing or artifacts.
Emulation is cool but it can change the public perception of how the games actually felt when they released
Let's go Edu! GC was one of my favorites!
Edited very concisely, great work!
Thanks a lot!
Are you using dolphin to capture footage, it looks very clear
GameCube + Carby + RetroTink 4K, as explained in the video!
The jump from N64 to NGC is still the biggest to me. Look at the super mario/kart/tennis/golf graphical differences on both consoles and it’s mind boggling. Both are my favourite consoles but because the NGC looks so much better, I can get more people willing to play it that don’t have nostalgia towards it, unlike the N64 which anyone without nostalgia might just hate the graphics.
the jump from SNES to N64 tbh was far crazier lol
7:36 The Remake of RE1 is what the creator wanted to do in PS1. But the limitations of the PS1 didn't provide this
GameCube had so many legendary games
Amazing video
do a "How Original Xbox Games Actually Look" & also ps2 version of the video idea
We are all here for Zelda the Windwaker. I bought the Gamecube just for that Game and Resident Evil 4 No Lie. And to this Day Nobody believes me when i say it Looks better on Gamecube then on PS 2.
RE4 looks a lot better on GC than PS2.
@18:20 they absolutely nailed Links fighting style. A real brawler style fighter using unconventional techniques and not your typical Japanese character style flashiness. That is Link to a T. I wish nintendo made a zelda game where the combat system was this way after locking on to a target.
Funny to think about the Gamecube's lack of success 20 years ago. It's better than the Playstation 2 and 3 in my opinion.
ps3? no. ps2? definitely
I feel like it aged better than the PS2 to play in modern displays since the PS2 had mostly 480i games. But I still find both the PS2 and PS3 libraries superior. PS2 had FF10, FF12, Dragon Quest 8, ICO, Shadow of the Colossus… the PS3 had Uncharted, The Last of Us, Heavy Rain, LittleBigPlanet, Demon’s Souls! Don’t get me wrong, I love the GameCube, and it did have great games (as shown in the video). But I think its library was lacking in comparison to the PS2 and PS3! Thanks for the comment!!!
I think there was a reason to own a gamecube even if you had a ps2 or xbox that generation. The wii gave the ps3 a run for its money the next gen with similar hardware to the cube and a waggly stick😂 but it couldn't compete in the power dept. They were great times to be into video games with the amount of variety and invention!
@@VideoGameShowcaseI also feel there are less games on GameCube compared to the PS2, but I think the exclusives such as wind waker, Metroid prime, the resident games, makes it a definite more of a quality library, even if it's lacking in some third parties or exclusives that never came to the GameCube but to the PS2 or the Xbox original. But I think that's the reason I love the cube so much, because nowadays almost all the games are playable in every console, but at that time, you had to have all 4 consoles (I count the Dreamcast) if you wanna truly experience all of gaming in it's form. That's just my view on the topic, I appreciate your video and I hope to see yours next video when it appears on my feed, imma sub to you
i really dont feel like the original re4 gameplay is dated. you just have to play it some more to get used to it. once you know all the tricks its DELICIOUS. But yeah, I also love the remake
great showcase.
Thank you very much!
Don't feel bad about playing Wind Waker late.
I first played and beat Skyward Sword in 2017 on the Wii U. Amazing game 🤙🏼
SHINE !! 🌞
Sunshine was always my favorite Mario game. Fastest playing, freestyle 3D Mario game. Check out the speedruns 🤙🏼
Metroid Prime was hard and confusing game. Loved the sound effects and menu music
On Soul Caliber II, be Link, grab attack Ring Out everytime. Can't go wrong 🫡
On Simpsons Hit and Run, you can steal a 4wheeler if you find it
MARVEL Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects was an incredible, hilarious, buggy game and can be very challenging. It's fighting style felt very unique. It's also on the PS2 and PSP. I highly recommend. Great soundtrack as well.
A diferenca dos gráficos dos first party proa third party é absurda
I play video games since the nineties, since I was a teenager and I still play PS2, to me the sixth generation of gaming is still the best.
How dare you sir. Mario Sunshine is one of my favorite Mario games of all time. Great video though. 🙂 I guess the only game I might have added is Twilight Princess.
I wish I had the Cube's version of Twilight Princess! But at least I got the HD version on the Wii U! Thanks for the comment... and nice username!
The GameCube was ahead of its time.
That's why I still have 2 in brand new condition.
Super Mario Sunshine is a GREAT Mario game....
if you ask me how the best video game i ever had, i surelly will respond: the nintendo game cube! i love this console!
perfect for the time in every way, and the games still hold until today!
Game Cube уникальная консоль! Даже сейчас всё выглядит потрясающе! 👍 Более 40 игр у меня в коллекции и 2 кубика 😏🔥
GameCube had some power. The c button always felt cheap tho.
I do think many 6th gen consoles have their charm visually. A lot of games have aged poorly but there are also a lot who have aged quite well. It was the last generation where Japanese developed games still dominated the market for the biggest titles before the shift to western developers being the dominant force in the 7th generation. GameCube had its advantages over the PS2 from a graphical standpoint.
Something i want to mention with MKDD controls.
You can omagine that instead of turning with the front wheels, you turn with your back wheels.
I can't confirm this, but i think they made it so to feel some sence of weight. Since you got a partner hanging on behind.
And your partner helps a lot with that feel too, since they sway their hips and ajust for every turn you make.
It's one of the Maaany things that makes this game so uniqe and fun.
It doesn't play like any other Mario Kart, and that's what makes it so special to me.
The GameCube was a graphical powerhouse. Really loved that lil console. I remember when re4 hit ps2 and the graphics had to be severely compromised. It was so blurry and just ugly. Showed just how powerful the cube was. Resident evil remake also was stunning on GC.
Tava procurando esse canal, consegui achar e é impressionante que ainda esteja ativo. Parabéns!
osh skdskdksd
game cube is the best console ever Nintendo made, and still a legend
The thing that i love most about the game cube is that the emulator runs a lot smoother than the ps2 emulator on my pc 😂
It looks f#@k'ing good. Just as I remember it.
I got a BITFUNX adapter and it’s impressive how the GameCube still looks amazing, way better than the Wii.
nothing looks better then old games on a crt;)
