My only real exposure to the GameCube was in college. My best friend had one, we played a lot of Timesplitters 2 and Future Perfect plus I watched him play through Resident Evil 4.
At home, we had a GameCube, but just a handful of different games. If your hand has 7 fingers, that is. Still, I will always cherish the memories of waking up extra early with my sister to get maybe an hour of playtime in before our parents woke up. Mario Party 4 and 6, Mario Kart: DD!!, SSB Melee, Sonic Adventure DX, NFS Underground 2 and the Sonic Mega Collection will always be near and dear to me. My favourite console ever.

I bought the Cube at launch with Rouge Squadron and Crazy Taxi. I only had about an hour with it before I had to go to work and endure what had felt like the longest shift in the history of the world.

Seeing how strong the starting lineup was, it's absolutely mind-boggling how unsuccesful the GameCube ended up being. There are so, SO many quality games on this thing and can we talk about the awesome controller?! I guess it just came at a difficult time with competition being at an all-time high. Still, the little purple box has a place in my heart.
I always looked at gamecube as more of a kid’s console, ps2 as the standard and xbox as like hardcore gamer console. Now that i’m older i get that there are a lot of nintendo fans who aren’t kids but growing up that’s how it seemed to me
I know for one thing I remember when PS2 came out and my parents asked me if I wanted one because they had to go stand in the line anyway for someone else. I told my mom NO because I wanted a Gamecube and was willing to wait until the next Christmas to make sure I got one of those instead. There was no way in hell I was about to be caught with my pants down bagholding a PS2 and no Gamecube when I knew Super Smash Bros Melee and all these great launch games were coming out.
@@lamBETTERthanY0U The truth is xbox and ps2 were the casual consoles and Gamecube was the core console, but people didn't realize they were filthy casuals.
Yup back then you spend what 40 to 50 bucks on a game that we still go back and play today because they are so fun. Now you spend 80 on a game, 50 for a map pack, 40 for a character pack, 8 dollars for red costume, etc. Disgusting

yeah, Nintendo shot itself in the leg with the indigo color and alienating most third party devs in the N64 era. It would've done better than the OG Xbox if they hadn't done so.
@@thepurrfectionist365 maybe but im sure they did a black one at lunch as well. I think it's more about there not being many killer games on this gen for them, sunshine wasn't as big as 64. Plus you had the PlayStation 2 that took alot of sales.
@@nathangarrett9868More to do with the limitations of the GameCube discs. 1.5GB at a time when the PS2 and XBox could do 4.7GB single layer and 8.5GB dual layer DVDs. Nintendo didn't learn from the limitations that cartridges had compared to CDs with the N64 and made the same mistake again with the GameCube. They were so worried about piracy of videogames. A worry that was absolutely unnecessary, since the PS2 and XBox didn't really have any significant piracy problems. It would have been great to see GTA 3 on the GameCube if only they adopted DVDs like every one else.
As a huge sports guy, I love you playing these. Makes me feel like when I tried to play a cricket video game except unlike you, I did NOT give it everything I've got.
I just discovered this series...I must have heard him say, "Oh, yeah, here we go - SPORTS TIME!" at least 20 times today, and it still makes me smile every time!
Some games still look good to this day. I loved my Gamecube, with all my heart. Metroid Prime, Zelda Wind Waker and Eternal Darkness are damn good games.
I have played many Halo games, but NONE of them can catch me, i just can't. Everyone is praising the series, and i can't for the love of me seem to love it.
I remember standing in the electronics section of my local Walmart playing that Star Wars game. That day I learned it's not good to look up for an hour straight. My neck is still sore.
Luigi’s Mansion and Rogue Squadron II are the only two that I’ve played, but I can honestly say they were along my favorite GameCube games of all time.
I have a ton of GameCube memories. From playing Smash Melee for the first time, to experiencing the graphical powerhouse of Rogue Leader, to obcessing over Crazy Taxi, to memorizing the stages of Sonic Adventure 2. But if i were to pick any of them? I'd say it all started with one sentance. "Unidentified distress beacon has been tracked to a derelict space vessel in orbit above Tallon IV."
78.2% avg for a launch lineup is actually pretty good. I wonder how that compares to others. I am actually sad I never played THPS3 cause I remember playing the hell out of THPS2 on n64 and loved it
I was just a year old when the GameCube released but I remember getting one in 2004 at Best Buy with my dad and we got Sonic Adventure DX with it. My first console experience and it remains my favourite console to this day😁
It was pretty impressive that the Gamecube managed to have such a decent launch lineup despite having to start without either a Mario or a Zelda game (Luigi's Mansion explicitly does not count). I still say that Rogue Leader is the greatest Star Wars game ever made, bar none, fucking fight me (with the possible exception of Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike, which while not nearly as good a game, includes _THE ENTIRE GAME OF ROGUE LEADER_ as a 2-player co-op game as a "bonus feature"). It's the only game to provide a flawless recreation of the original Battle of Yavin as well as the Battle of Endor, including a blistering run through the guts of the 2nd Death Star (Strike at the Core).
Awesome, now for GameCube, I have fond memories uf THPS 3 that's the Tony Hawks game i grew up on, i played that for so many hours as a kid, good times 😊
I love this series endlessly. Consistently amazing from the writers, editors, and the MVP of TripleJump, smoked kielbasa polka. Also, a bourbon cream Ben? That’s no jammie dodger, official biscuit of a certain podcast.
I only clicked this video because the 3 games on your thumbnail were litteraly the first 3 games I got with my (jet black) gamecube on Christmas morning when I was 8. Such memories. (Edit: *jet black)
God, this series is delightful (deity for emphasis). I wish youtube would ask me to rate every video, to help get this channel the exposure it deserves. The sheer research that goes into these videos, the excellent voice acting and editing, and the hilarities (many hilariousnesses) make this my favorite channel. Keep 'em coming please and thank you!
The best part of Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2 was getting run over by the cars. And there was some strange button combination where your guy would grab onto things, and you could grab the car and get dragged around the map.
I still have my cube. One of my favorites systems ever, my favorite controller ever, and quite a few games that hold up really , really well. Underrated system.
Gamecube had a strong launch. Can't forget games that came out shortly after launch but before Christmas 2001 like Super Smash Bros Melee, Simpsons Hit and Run, etc.
ah man, that Tarzan game's "Everybody, look lovely (lively?)" guy is a legit injoke between me and my brothers. These Launch Game videos are brilliant all round :)
Star Wars Rogue Squadron was hands down the best launch title. Star Wars is my favorite movie all of time and the game captured some of that magic really well.
Luigi's Mansion was my jam on GameCube! Once I got over my fear of being jump scared by ghosts. It only took like 3 years, lol. Yes I know it's not all that scary, but I can't deal with the tension that horror games have. Waiting for the inevitable scare that will happen, but not sure when.
It would've scare the socks off me if I played it as a kid, even now it's admittedly bit creepy! For a Nintendo game it is pretty spooky. It's like resident evil but for kids
@@anyaw743 once I got use to the jump scares (3 years later) I was able to play. Great game and I really enjoyed it, but yeah even now it is still a little spooky.
My first home console that was all my own, with the fondest memories, met my best friend in the world to this day through wind waker. Some of the best games of all time imo
I had a Gamecube and loved it, of these launch titles I owned luigis mansion, Tony hawk 3, and rougue squadron 2, I got 100% on all 3. So many great games on the system like smash bros melee, gemini force?, paper Mario, Mario kart, Mario tennis, wind raker and many more.
Who else remembers popping open the first game case and seeing that mini DVD. Well, big N, you certainly did catch the disk train finally. Better late than never. Bittersweet seeing real FMV and quality music on these titles. Also, bittersweet to see a Final Fantasy title here, even though it was to be desired.
NHL HITZ 2002 was honestly one of the underrated launched titles for the GC, even before I was into Hockey it was fucking fun playing it. Unlocking the hidden mascot teams were worth it.
Anyone else love using the bail mechanic on the waterpark slide with the slim jim guy in Dave Mirra 2? There might've been a mode for it, I can't remember.
How could you forget super smash bros melee? My favorite memory of Christmas 2001 was opening up my GameCube and playing smash bros and star wars squadron.
Good god I love this series and now we've gotten to my very first console that was my own. Even though n64 will always be my favourite console. The gamecube will always have a special place in my heart
Star Wars Rogue Squadron was the best launch game. It actually showed how graphically powerful the GameCube was. I got one for Christmas and my brother got an Xbox. We both rented madden 2002 to compare graphics. It was close but the GameCube version had less round helmets. As much as everyone hated on that machine it’s my favorite console of all time.
Got into console gaming through the N64, but the GC will forever be my one favorite console. Same goes for the official controller. Those were the days.
I have kept my ps2 for 11 years and I always went back to simpsons hit and run and sims. Its fan is very dusty but i just bought gta 3 and vc with my xmas money.

Every Sonic game or every SEGA franchise ranked? That fish/frog face in the hockey bit will now give me nightmares.

Ahh Super Monkey Ball took up so many local multiplayer hours!
I miss the GameCube
Star Wars Rogue Squadron was the best launch game. It actually showed how graphically powerful the GameCube was. I got one for Christmas and my brother got an Xbox. We both rented madden 2002 to compare graphics. It was close but the GameCube version had less round helmets. As much as everyone hated on that machine it’s my favorite console of all time.
The Gamecube sold 12.5 million units in North America, that's pretty decent tbh. Can't say the same for the rest of the world.
Do a US launch for the N64. It should be epic with...Mario 64 and Pilotwings 64. Yes, a console launch with two games.
Man, Wave Race still looks great today
Ya Ya Ya Ya Yah! Wonder how many times I heard that playing Crazy Taxi as a kid.

I have kept my ps2 for 11 years and I always went back to simpsons hit and run and sims. Its fan is very dusty but i just bought gta 3 and vc with my xmas money.
I’ve been. Playing PS2 a lot lately
as each episode passes we have less consoles left and that saddens me... this series is too good i dont want it to end
Gotta love how the bourbon is just chilling against the gamecube.
