I have Wario World but I wouldn’t say it’s an amazing game. It’s short but it’s nice. Don’t have to use your brain much for it; but sadly it’s very repetitive quickly. It’s a nice game though but I’d put it in B tier if we spoke of it from S-F tier
GameCube is easily my favourite Nintendo console. Every game felt like it was trying something new, and in most cases, those games are the best in their franchises, in my opinion. It was so experimental, and they still stand out today because of that. A fair amount of iconic franchises started on the Cube, too. Unfortunately, it was also the system some franchises had their final entries on. I also love how much that system feels like a summer vacation because of the aesthetics of many of the games, and simply because of how refreshing the games are to play. This system and its game just leave you feeling happy and good. It's great to finally see people appreciating this system that I've been praising for over 20 years.
I grew up in foster care, in one of the homes I had like a brother figure that let me play his GameCube and gameboy games… he wouldn’t let me play the N64 but he’d let me watch him play it. he’s the reason I love games as much as I do. I miss him. He died by his own hand in 2014
It’s just a shame that GameCube hasn’t been added to Nintendo Switch Online. There are so many great games that new generations might not be able to experience (unless they use Dolphin)
No way you can talk about the Gamecube's launch and leave out Rogue Leader - that was by far the Gamecube's killer app until Melee finally came out and had far and away the best graphics on the console until at least Metroid Prime, if not until its sequel Rebel Strike. If you wanted to show off the Gamecube in 2001 and try to argue that it was more powerful than the PS2-Rogue Squadron was the game you showed off. It's like talking about the PS3's launch and never mentioning Resistance. Also, it's well-known how Rare's Dinosaur Planet for the N64 got turned into Star Fox Adventures for the Gamecube. Miyamoto saw the early build and the similarities to the Star Fox characters and offered Rare the chance to use the Star Fox IP instead of going the riskier route of making a new IP. Rare accepted this suggestion and retooled their game to better fit the Star Fox universe.
The 7-year console lifecycle wasn't a thing in the Gamecube years. Consoles typically had 5 years until they were replaced by the next generation. It was the PS3 and 360 that started the trend of 7-year lifecycles. The Super Nintendo and N64 both had 5 years before they were replaced by their successors. The Wii lasting 6 years was unusually long for Nintendo at the time.
2004 will forever be my favorite year of the GameCube. Which is my favorite console of all time. Paper Mario TTYD & Pikmin 2 will forever be GOATED. Endless hours and replays on both including Pikmin 1 & Paper Mario 64. Fantastic video as always man
I love the GameCube a metric ton. So many good games. Muppets Party Cruise, SoulCalibur II, Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure and the Naruto: Clash of Ninja duology are some of my personal favorites. Although, I'm surprised you didn't mention Star Fox: Assault. That game is not only peak, but combined with 64's branching paths could make for a fun modern day game for the Star Fox series
So many fond memories from the GameCube - era. My favourite Nintendo console aside from Switch. Wind Waker, Metroid Prime & Starfox Adventure was top notch gaming experiences. And Resident Evil 4. Truly ground breaking when it came out. Loved the controller too. Nintendo aced it with GC. It deserved better sales.
GameCube, along with the Switch and SNES/SFC is one of my favorite Nintendo consoles. I get that you were covering games you were familiar with, but there were a lot of other great gems too such as Eternal Darkness, Star Fox Assault, Viewtiful Joe 1 and 2, Killer7, Tales of Symphonia, Super Monkey Ball 2, Skies of Arcadia Legends, Pac Man World 2, Bloody Roar Primal Fury, Capcom vs SNK 2, Def Jam Vendetta and Fight for NY and Soul Calibur II just to name a few unsung gems in this video.
ever since i subbed to you like two weeks ago ive looked forward to your videos so baddddd man. especially w how bad things are getting. you’re a gift. thank you for making the videos you do. they crack me up and make me smile.
What a great console... I have so much great memories about it! Wind Waker, Mario Sunshine, MK Double Dash, SSB Melee... And coming from the Sega Dreamcast I also bought Phantasy Star Online EPI&II on the NGC. What an awesome game!
Looking at the overall library you presented, its a shame the hardware sales didnt do as well as one would expect. Lot of quality stuff released. When I had the Gamecube, I played a lot of Melee and Double Dash with friends. Got far into Windwaker and Thousand Year Door. Sonic Heroes was the only story driven game I beat but was a blast to play.
15:00 In case if you haven't known already. Starfox Adventures originally started out as Dinosaur Planet, it was Rareware's take on a Zelda type game with their own original characters and Miyamoto from Nintendo noticed that one of the Furry protagonists looked like Fox. So that was the reason why StarFox Adventures became the game it was.
11:14 slight correction. Sakurai himself confirmed in a fan questionnaire post-release that wavedashing is a 100% intentional mechanic. Same with L-canceling, considering it's a holdover from Smash 64.
Great video! Missing afew gems like Mario Golf, Rogue Squadron, and Star fox Assault (maybe Wario world). Either way, you brought me back to me teen years of me arguing with my friends that the gamecube was better than ps2. Never won an argument tho 😅
As long as I live, I'll NEVER deny seeing a Gamecube retrospective. It was my first home console and I loved it so much. I gave it away to my cousin once the Wii came out, of course due to backwards commutability. But man, I miss seeing that cube. Good times, gooood times. (And yes, the controller is Nintendo's best controller OF ALL TIME).
I grew up with the Gamecube games Super Mario Sunshine, and Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. I also played Super Smash Bros. Melee for a long time, until I had issues with the bland clone characters and balancing, wrong portrayals of the fighters, and the seriously difficult challenges, even some trophies. I hope SSBM isn't the only reason to buy a Gamecube like fans claim. It isn't "perfect". I adore Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, especially with the enjoyable partners, fun chapters and the amazing soundtrack. TT-YD should've sold higher than Melee. If only Donkey Kong Racing was released. There is also Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes in 2004. 38:30, I always get tired of the "People only know a character because of Smash" trait. It's like their home games don't mean anything.
gamecube had amazing 1 party games, amazing, 10/10, but the 3 big problems gamecube had compared to ps2 and xbox og were sad. 1. bad support of 3 party games, fkn bad support, 2. only a single player/offline console, xbox and ps2 had so many online games, u could even play need for speed games online on those consoles, while only offline on gamecube. 3. gamecube only had 480p quality. while the other consoles were hD consoles. xbox had many 720p and 1080i games, and i remember first time i got a hd flatscreen tv , i went on settings on grand turismo 4 and turned to 1080 i on my playstation 2
It was my 2end Nintendo system ever. But still love n64 don’t bully it. But same with n64bth9s age too with mini disc. If is Wii disc would never be bad but ya games where fun just power low. At mini disc good change to disc. Love Nintendo try like going to small thing before going huge. Like Wii U to switch.

Bro you forgot wario world from 2003

Nobody has forgotten about waverace I assure you. Many want a new one.

Gamecube is such a great console its still hooked up to my modern TV, still play with it & collect for it today

It's wild how short the lifespan of the gamecube was. 5 years! My childhood wrapped up in just 5 years apparently

Resident Evil 1 remake is a masterpiece
Yeah, this clown doesn’t know what he’s talking about
2004 will forever be my favorite year of the GameCube. Which is my favorite console of all time. Paper Mario TTYD & Pikmin 2 will forever be GOATED. Endless hours and replays on both including Pikmin 1 & Paper Mario 64. Fantastic video as always man
I usually don't watch videos from smaller channels that often, but this one was really entertaining man. Great job.
I love the GameCube a metric ton. So many good games. Muppets Party Cruise, SoulCalibur II, Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure and the Naruto: Clash of Ninja duology are some of my personal favorites.

Well said definitely the best 3 consoles they ever made in terms of gaming library.
ever since i subbed to you like two weeks ago ive looked forward to your videos so baddddd man. especially w how bad things are getting. you’re a gift. thank you for making the videos you do. they crack me up and make me smile.
Smash bros Melee will forever be THE BEST SMASH OF ALL TIME!
The GameCube is one of the greatest consoles Nintendo ever made
How did you manage to not mention Rogue Leader, one of the most impressive games on GameCube?
What a great console... I have so much great memories about it!
Wind Waker, Mario Sunshine, MK Double Dash, SSB Melee...
And coming from the Sega Dreamcast I also bought Phantasy Star Online EPI&II on the NGC. What an awesome game!
Chibi-Robo is one of my favorite GameCube games. Ribbit King and Cubivore are also great hidden gems.
Bro’s absolutely favorite adjective is absolutely “absolutely”.
Me patiently waiting for a new 1080° and Wave race
Looking at the overall library you presented, its a shame the hardware sales didnt do as well as one would expect. Lot of quality stuff released.
When I had the Gamecube, I played a lot of Melee and Double Dash with friends. Got far into Windwaker and Thousand Year Door. Sonic Heroes was the only story driven game I beat but was a blast to play.
Gamecube had alot of good games. Unfortunately i never got to play double dash myself lol
I got the game gang come over
15:00 In case if you haven't known already.
Starfox Adventures originally started out as Dinosaur Planet, it was Rareware's take on a Zelda type game with their own original characters and Miyamoto from Nintendo noticed that one of the Furry protagonists looked like Fox.
So that was the reason why StarFox Adventures became the game it was.
My biggest dream was to own all the GameCube Mario Parties. I currently have MP4 and MP7. I still need MP5 and MP6...
I still enjoy playing the GameCube myself
You forgot the most iconic game: Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg!

Straw hat Midas is like a discount Scott the woz but I ain’t mad I still watch it. Hope you make it bud
22:12 missed opportunity for knight rider reference ;D
GOAT console, ahead of its time
I should’ve put the GameCube on S tier for my console tier list, I honestly didn’t know the console was that awesome.
Its crazy how, If you wanna play a game thats been released both on the PS2 and GC, you should always go for the GC version, looks better ALWAYS
GameCube gets slept on. Was more powerful than the PS2 and the way it rendered was really gorgeous.
Can't wait not to mention time splitters /tales of symphonia 😂🥺😭

I thought sonic adventure 2 battle was known as the best 3d sonic game😅
Missing Metal Gear Solid the Twin Snakes from 2004 and the Mario golf Toadstool Tour 2003.
Metroid Prime 2 is my fave
Absolutely
I grew up with the Gamecube games Super Mario Sunshine, and Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. I also played Super Smash Bros.

when i was a child i hated crazy taxi with a passion

The use of “absolutely” is Chinese water torture
Sunshine, Windwaker, and Metroid Prime were my 3 absolute favorites games growing up
And you forgot to talk about animal crossing
Yeah my footage was awful so I talked about it for like one second at the end :/
@@StrawHatMidasAnd you also didn't mention Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes.
@ and what about wario world?
We need Megaman videos please
How can someone talk about the GameCube and not mention the Rogue Squadron games?
24:06 pricecharting has it at a $75 average? Even paying $350 for an unopened, brand new copy would be overpaying by a lot?
It was my 2end Nintendo system ever. But still love n64 don’t bully it. But same with n64bth9s age too with mini disc. If is Wii disc would never be bad but ya games where fun just power low. At mini disc good change to disc. Love Nintendo try like going to small thing before going huge. Like Wii U to switch.
fuck yes
Ps1 dominated the GameCube and then Ps2 finished it
