yeah it's not that the Gamecube wasn't powerful, it's that the Wii barely improved on the power at all. The Wii basically was just a Gamecube with tacked on motion controls.
0:26 "with it's focus on gameplay rather than graphics" I don't get this line. The Gamecube was the most powerful system of that generation. Compare RE4 on the Gamecube with the PS2 for example. However, this was the last console that Nintendo tried to stay on par with graphics.
I do believe the Gamecube was the second most powerful of the generation, with the Xbox definitely being the most powerful mainstream console of the sixth generation. If you want a good idea of how amazing the graphical horsepower on the original Xbox was, just check out all the GTA games that were released on the console, especially GTA III and VC.
If the Xbox was more powerful, it wasn't by much. They were at least on par. Anyway, my point was I don't get that line. The GameCube was still no slouch and more powerful than the PS2. I think this video just confused the GameCube and the Wii, as that statement would be true.
Yep. The sad part about the Xbox was that its components were actually more expensive to produce (the friggin' thing was produced with a 10 GB HDD, which did exclude the consumer from buying memory cards, but it cost Microsoft a fortune to produce the Xbox), but the GameCube was small, powerful, and above all, efficient. I'm personally a huge fan of the sixth generation of console gaming, and I'd throw my hat in saying it was the very last console generation worth investing money into!
According to Factor 5 (developers of Rogue Squadron II and III on GC), the GameCube's CPU was apparently just as powerful as the Xbox's CPU, even if the Xbox CPU was clocked at a faster speed.
I was the dumbass kid who let all my homies borrow all my games and i didnt care if i got them back because i had newer gaming consoles. Maaann did it bite me in the ass LMAO
I was the poor ass and dumb ass kid who would get stuck on games and trade them in to get different ones. Lost out of so many great titles I wish I still had.
MrNintendo505 That depends. For multiplayer, DD is the way to go. I terms of quantity of levels en vehicles, MK8 is better. Also, online is awesome. But it all comes down to preference at the end anyway.
+MrNintendo505 It has more maps, but has it better maps? My answer is no (even though there are some great ones like Excitebike Arena and Mount Wario. Rainbow Road was a disappointment, while DD's RR is my favorite). Don't forget the music (which are awesome in both games) and the fact that DD has 2 characters per kart and special items. I prefer DD's drifting btw. If you happen to own a couple of expensive adapters, you can play 16 player local on DD, MK8 does only 4, with online 12, which I don't count as local of course. I'm not hating on 8 though, it's my second favorite MK and I play it a lot (more than DD now because online)
Instead of ignoring my arguments and just saying I'm nostalgia blinded, you might want to give your opinion on these points. I can say you're too much forward looking. There's a reason I came back to DD time and time again, even though DS and Wii were already out at the time. The drifting and steering is not better, it's different. If you're flying around the track you might want to brake once in a while. That's part of the challenge, which is completely gone in the newer games. About retro tracks. Maybe I don't want to see the old course get ruined? When 7 and 8 came out I was really excited for the retro courses, but now I feel it's better to just play the older games. Why? Sherbet Land for example, looks so bland and boring in MK8. Where's the color? Where's the faces in the walls? Why do they have to add an anti gravity section in the only part of the track where you can die, making it too easy. The tracks are also ridiculously wide, making falling off impossible, and what's the fun in that? The whole anti gravity was cool at first, but now it feels forced. The flying and under water driving are fine though. I would rather just have racing where I can enjoy the courses like before. If I want to have anti gravity, I'll play F-Zero GX, thank you very much. 3 Rainbow Roads is not really a sellingpoint since 1 of them sucks, the other one was in 7 too, and the 64 one... Is really cool actually. Finally: MK8 feels kinda unfinished. The lack of multiplayer maps is a huge problem for me, and did you notice there's not even a proper award ceremony? Things like that is what gave DD so much charm. One more thing, what I consider my FAVORITE game does not mean I think it's the BEST game, two completely different things. And yeah, objectively speaking, 8 is better, if only for the fact it's on better hardware. But I judge games based on the amount of fun I had with it compared to past installments. And in that case, DD is still my Nr 1. What's your opinion on 64 btw?
I was at a flea market one time and saw that they had a few gamecube games. One of which was a case with no markings on what it could be, and scotch tape wrapped around it. There was a sticker on it saying it was 2 dollars. I asked the guy what game it was, and he said he didn't know because it was taped up when he got it. I was curious and handed him 2 bucks. Turns out it was a copy of Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, in mint condition! Best 2 bucks ever spent.
There were trophies in Melee based off of Cubivore and I always assumed they were Animal Crossing related at the time (I was very young) but I came to realize eventually they were not.
I had both Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Pokemon Box in my collection just 2 years ago. But then my parents split up, and I couldn't get any of my stuff. Isn't that just lovely? *twitches*
Quarantine could also be very expensive as it was an exception that sorta cheated the ESRB rating. The bonus DVD contained a special feature with both fully animated and crude nudity on a T rating game. Just putting that out there.
+RandomTens Yes actually While it may have rendered graphics that were slightly not as good as the XBox, the Gamecube outdid the PS2 in every hardware aspect you can think of. A good reference for this is looking at Resident Evil 4 on both systems. The game is rendered better on the Gamecube and looks smoother, while on the PS2 it looks a little rougher.
I don't know how it is compared to the Xbox but it's definitely more powerful then the PS2 in fact Nintendo only started having systems that are weaker then there competitors after the Wii.
Actually now that I think about it, the choice of Nintendo to use the disks they did was not the best. They had to make multiple disks for many games, but the graphics were most definitely better.
Astonishingly enough, that could very well still be THE best game in the Paper Mario series to date. (As well as one of the best GameCube games ever made.)
Cool video! - I still play with my GC and my 4 year old daughter loves Super Mario Sunshine... I live in South Africa, so the GC was not sold here throughout its entire live cycle. It is very difficult to find the Metal Gear Solid remake and Twilight Princess here. I had to buy both in the UK on a work trip.
Dude thanks for sharing that story! I think you may be the first person from South Africa to comment (or at least that I'm aware) which means a lot because I love hearing how people around the world grew up gaming. It sucks the GameCube wasn't sold there, but I'm glad you found a way to experience these incredible games in the end anyways! :)
Man I got lucky finding Path of radiance like i did! Otherwise I might not have gotten into FE as much as I did all those years back! Great video stan! It was Quality :)
Royboy140 Yeah that has to be my favorite, with Radiant Dawn second. The story drove both of them really nicely, and i remember even being overwhelmed at times with all the politics lol. Same for you or no?
Shit man, you still have yours? My original release Gamecube's been sitting on the shelf with the Gameboy Player attached and no working disc for almost two years now. The poor thing gets scratched so easily compared to other discs for some reason.
+VulpesHilarianus Ya, mine still works great and I wasn't even the original owner. I didn't personally own a GameCube until years later (had a PS2 at the time and a roommate with a GC, then had a Wii after college). So whoever I bought it from kept it pristine for a decade before I bought it from them. If the disk stopped being readable I'd just mod the GC to not need it.
+STGWolf nah, Xbox was more powerful in any way, gamecube specs: 485 MHz cpu and 162 mhz gpu, xbox: intel celeron (yah pc cpu cheaters) 733mhz x86 cpu and 233mhz gpu with 64 unified ram but gamecube was more powerful than the ps2, with only 147 MHz gpu and 299 mhz cpu
What about the Super Monkey ball 1 & 2 bundle release? I saw it a long time ago being sold on Amazon, but I couldn't find any more info other than the boxart.
The last time i saw one in a store was about 2003-2004. I graduated high school in 2005 the the xbox 360 was just coming out and the cube was in its prime. I still have the case, manual, and game. I even have a sega dreamcast version of episode one with one of those huge books that tells you about alot of the weapons and things in the game. Its still one of my top 10 favorite all time games.
+Troy McGuffey I have the original version with the GameCube chat controller "keyboard" and a broadband adapter. Just in case you all didn't know, there is a private server that you can still use to play this online. :)
Woah, I was expecting Gotcha Force and Ribbit King, and definitely Skies of Arcadia Legends (about $140 cib), but either way, nice video. Wasn't expecting a sports game! As for my favorites, it'd have to be Skies of Arcadia Legends and Viewtiful Joe. Both absolutely incredible, and everyone should pick up a copy if they have the chance.
I've seen the 1st rarest 2K3 basketball game on different lists, but I'm surprised I didn't see the (supposed) 2nd rarest Gamecube game on this list, which is apparently Phantasy Star Online Episodes 1 & 2 Plus (with "Plus" on the end of the title). According to various lists I've seen, that is the 2nd rarest Gamecube game, just behind Basketball 2K3. Usually around $75.
Thanks for putting so much effort into each and every one of your videos, man. It's great that you haven't sacrificed quality for the sake of quantity yet, unlike what alot of content creators have.
Haha I won't lie sometimes I see other creators pumping out videos like its nothing and I get a little envious that my projects are 20-60 hours in work. But from day one I've always tried to put a little more effort into my stuff (even if the talent wasn't there) in hopes that the hard work would make our vids stand out and also because I love pushing my editing further and further. Anyways that's just my long drawn-out way of saying thank you for noticing and taking the time to comment that. Those sort of comments are the ones that really help the channel the most because it's nice to be reaffirmed that the long hours and hard work do make that difference for some! :)
*SERIOUSLY.* I'VE NEVER SEEN A PURPLE GAMECUBE. WHERE ARE THESE MYTHOLOGICAL BEASTS? All gamecubes I've seen have either been black (like mine) or silver, with the occasional themed one (DK, etc.)
I'm pretty sure the purple GameCube was the first release, I no longer have the console but the purple controller that came with it is still my best working and favorite to use. What's really weird is the orange GameCubes (look it up!)
My all time favorite gamecube games Pokemon Colosseum Paper mario ttyd Super mario sunshine Mario kart double dash Legend of spyro Sonic adventure 2 Smash bros melee Mario party 7 Kirby air ride Star fox adventures
Nice list. I own cubivore and path or radiance. I already did a longplay of fire emblem and it was super fun. I can't wait to play cubivore in the upcoming months with my new original component cable.
I'd disagree, I enjoyed it more then Awakening, which is DEFINITELY the one where people go for the waifus and a chick who is a scumbag but everyone likes just for her ass
Truth, Brian. i've been doing emulators since the nesticle days, and they aren't the proper experience. they'll do for a quick fix, but if you're serious about old games you need the hardware. sound especially suffers, and the games timing and speed are off a lot. some might argue they "run better", and while they don't suffer from the slowdown, that was a part of the experience on the consoles.
doodoostickstain I've personally found that even graphics and styles change. For example, in the original hardware Super Mario Sunshine, FLUDD's meter in the corner has a 3D modelled look, but in Dolphin its this weird flat 2D sprite looking thing. Also, the pachinko machine, poison river water in the sky, and the overall gameplay seems to be easier and a little _less_ "twicthy" for lack of a better word, in dolphin.
+doodoostickstain Nope. All retro systems will go extinct in a decade or two. Nothing lasts forever. The GameCube is one the easiest systems to emanate.
didnt that metroid windwaker game also come with an ocarina of time for gamecube? or was that the original release of windwaker? one of my favorite cube accessories is the gameboy advance adapter(with the play disc, if you buy one make sure it comes with a disc or it wont work) but i also really liked crystal chronicles multiplayer with the gameboy advance attached.
Wanted to let you know that the Metroid Prime and Windwaker 2-in-1 is still two discs and two manuals. So, for the most hardcore collectors, just know you're literally paying $150 for the artwork.
You're talking about the NTSC version of Pokemon Box, right? Cause here in the PAL region, you get them pretty easy for about 10 Euro (ca. 12 US-Dollar)
You forgot Gotcha Force and a game I forget the name of, I think it might be Evolution Worlds, in which the main character uses a machine with a giant hand on his back as his weapon, and has a butler named Gre Nade, and a girl joins named Linear Cannon. Those two games are quite hard to find, as Gotcha Force was recalled at one point, and the second game is rare to begin with.
I was a little surprised not to see Kirby airide on this list. I've gone through a couple copies I found at antique game shops, but outside the copy my friend still owns I've yet to find a working disc in good repair.
If you want to get the most out of the Tellius Fire Emblem games, you'll need a Model 1 Wii with the GameCube ports so you can transfer your save from Path of Radiance to Radiant Dawn via GameCube Memory Card. That's one feature that the later Wii models removed.

First time watcher, long time gamer! My favorite GC game is definitely Super Smash Brothers Melee, but I also love Mario Golf - I've been known to play both for hours! The rarest game I have is Dance Dance Revolution Mario Mix. I had a hard time getting it, but the guy I was dating at the time found it on eBay, bought it without telling me, and came over one night with it. I love that game, and still have it to this day (10 years later). I also still have that amazing dance mat! We broke up about two years later, but this was definitely one of the nicest gifts I received from him.
Personal favorites out of the games i played are Wind Waker, Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door, Mario Kart Double Dash, NFS: Underground, and Lego Star Wars
Strange fact is I haven't played Smash Brothers Melee for GCN but I have played Cubivore.... I played abaout 15 minutes and liked the game, the plus is I paid only $18 for the new sealed copy at a local EB Games.
Gameplay over graphics? You kidding? The GameCube is the second most powerful console of the 4 that generation. It was very high end tech.
yeah I have no idea what he was thinking when he said that
yeah it's not that the Gamecube wasn't powerful, it's that the Wii barely improved on the power at all. The Wii basically was just a Gamecube with tacked on motion controls.
I have the Wind Waker and Metroid Prime combo, that I got for 5 DOLLARS at gamestop lmao
Me too I picked up 5 copies still all factory sealed 🤣
0:26 "with it's focus on gameplay rather than graphics" I don't get this line. The Gamecube was the most powerful system of that generation. Compare RE4 on the Gamecube with the PS2 for example. However, this was the last console that Nintendo tried to stay on par with graphics.

xbox was more powerful look at the numbers
I was the dumb ass kid who never put his games in the case, ever. And now I have half of these games but none of them work.
William Nanners Same. I hate myself for doing that.
I was the dumbass kid who let all my homies borrow all my games and i didnt care if i got them back because i had newer gaming consoles. Maaann did it bite me in the ass LMAO
ceiling gang cringeee
Always buy original hardware, fuk digital it is worthless kids
I was the poor ass and dumb ass kid who would get stuck on games and trade them in to get different ones. Lost out of so many great titles I wish I still had.
Mario kart double dash THE absolute BEST Mario kart to exist
YESSS! Bob-Omb blast all day!
MrNintendo505 That depends. For multiplayer, DD is the way to go. I terms of quantity of levels en vehicles, MK8 is better. Also, online is awesome. But it all comes down to preference at the end anyway.
Very true
+MrNintendo505 It has more maps, but has it better maps? My answer is no (even though there are some great ones like Excitebike Arena and Mount Wario.

That moment when you got NCAA2K13 for your 9th Birthday, 10 years back. DAMN
do you still have it?
I do.
well I'm a time traveler.
Apparently the cube version of Twilight Princess is going up in value. Is this true?
Chopper yeah
Yeah mine ran me 25
I should of got it I was at a retro game store recently and it was $10 I didn't think much of it cause I had the Wii and WiiU version
There were trophies in Melee based off of Cubivore and I always assumed they were Animal Crossing related at the time (I was very young) but I came to realize eventually they were not.
I had both Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Pokemon Box in my collection just 2 years ago. But then my parents split up, and I couldn't get any of my stuff. Isn't that just lovely? *twitches*
TFW I sold path of radiance for $1
+Revolver Ocelot || WTF???
;-; ikr
Wait, are the first four .hack games actually rare now or something? I still got my original 4. Just wondering if they're worth something now.
Quarantine could also be very expensive as it was an exception that sorta cheated the ESRB rating. The bonus DVD contained a special feature with both fully animated and crude nudity on a T rating game. Just putting that out there.
With it's focus on game play rather then graphics? Seriously I'm pretty sure the game cube was the strongest system at the time.
Compared to the Xbox and PS2?
+RandomTens Yes actually
While it may have rendered graphics that were slightly not as good as the XBox, the Gamecube outdid the PS2 in every hardware aspect you can think of.

+Ace game reviews I believe the GameCube was also superior in graphics with the Xbox as well, though its processor was the thing that was outbeat.
The Thousand-Year Door
My fav! xD
i have a copy of it #FavVideoGameEver
i also have a poster of the map on my wall :D
me have
Astonishingly enough, that could very well still be THE best game in the Paper Mario series to date. (As well as one of the best GameCube games ever made.)
I got Path Of radiance for a dollar at a flea market
+drseussisdeaddd i hate you. I freaking hate you
Chuck Pursell
haha I have 2 copies. paid 10 for the other one.
Wow, that's the best deal I have ever heard. Path of Radiance is one game I will never sell. The intro in it is epic!
I have a rare copy of Double Dash that has a demo disc included!!!!!
+Sam Pendergast Me Too!
+Sam Pendergast yeah my cousin owns that version too, the demo disc also has a trailer for the kirby anime, sadly, I own the normal version
I have a starfox adventures Gamecube DVD that was a GAME(uk version of gamestop) exclusive
Hell Yea Same Hea!
I don't get it. You got Double Dash and a demo disc? What's on the demo disc?
Who owns a GameCube besides me? Like if you have one!
+PokeFaceGuy Bad My family got the console back in Christmas of 2004 as something for all of us. Still have it, although I need to go get it fixed.
The Best Commenter I still play mine all the time
2017 still no game cube (sadness)
I have a Nintendo 64!
The Best Commenter I bet people in general will say, " oh I skipped it and bought a wii", they don't know how much there missing
$150 for cubivore 5 years ago. It is now 500+
Cool video! - I still play with my GC and my 4 year old daughter loves Super Mario Sunshine...
I live in South Africa, so the GC was not sold here throughout its entire live cycle. It is very difficult to find the Metal Gear Solid remake and Twilight Princess here. I had to buy both in the UK on a work trip.
Dude thanks for sharing that story! I think you may be the first person from South Africa to comment (or at least that I'm aware) which means a lot because I love hearing how people around the world grew up gaming.
It sucks the GameCube wasn't sold there, but I'm glad you found a way to experience these incredible games in the end anyways! :)
Pokemon box is worth money?! I gave that away since it was free
It's over 200$....
Now I actually checked and it goes for about 20$. Maybe it's specifically an american version worth money?
+kricku Only the North American version is worth a lot of money. I believe PAL and Japanese copies were easy to obtain.
i...have two of them sitting on the shelf i had no idea it was worth cash
Well, I won't be getting rid of MY (PAL) copy of Pokémon Box any time soon.
Cubivore was my favorite game, i still have it to this day.
Yeah I thought Gotcha Force as going to be here.
Yeah, the guy really dropped the ball on that front.
I could swear there was a time when I was buying second-hand gamecube games in the UK where every shop had at least 2 copies of Gotcha Force.
My faves are Naruto: Clash Of Ninja 2 and Sonic Adventure 2 Battle
I had no idea path of radiance was rare, might as well sell my copy
Man I got lucky finding Path of radiance like i did! Otherwise I might not have gotten into FE as much as I did all those years back! Great video stan! It was Quality :)
You're a quality friend RoyBoy Jones :)
Yea i got mine from a store last year it was marked with the wrong price of $9.99 and thats all i payed for my copy
I feel you dude, it was my first entry into the awesome franchise and i'm glad it was, and for only 20 bucks at the time too.
Such a great game! Is it your favorite? or is that another fe game?
Royboy140 Yeah that has to be my favorite, with Radiant Dawn second. The story drove both of them really nicely, and i remember even being overwhelmed at times with all the politics lol. Same for you or no?
Paper Mario TTYD Is the best one! I played it like 12 times now and managed to get 100% each and every time
Yes that is true! Its my favourite aswell, Im still playing it because its the best! :D
Jumli yeee
It took me 10 years to beat that game. Shadow queen was hard
My favorite GC game is the Gameboy Player disc. Haha, just kidding. It is Wind Waker for sure.
Mines is smash melee
+Jatworks Swirl Super Mario Sunshine all the way
+Jatworks Swirl yeah dude
Shit man, you still have yours? My original release Gamecube's been sitting on the shelf with the Gameboy Player attached and no working disc for almost two years now. The poor thing gets scratched so easily compared to other discs for some reason.

actually GameCube was the most powerful of its time
+Andrew Ortiz i dont remember exactly so correct me if im wrong but xbox had a better CPU and Gamecube had a better GPU
+STGWolf nah, Xbox was more powerful in any way, gamecube specs: 485 MHz cpu and 162 mhz gpu, xbox: intel celeron (yah pc cpu cheaters) 733mhz x86 cpu and 233mhz gpu with 64 unified ram but gamecube was more powerful than the ps2, with only 147 MHz gpu and 299 mhz cpu
thanks for the correction
nobody cared back in the days, it were the games that mattered, i mean tbh the dreamcast outpowered the ps2, but guess who sold most?
The Xbox was more powerful than the Wii
Whoa whoa whoa you forgot Gotcha force an amazing gamcube gem selling for over $150+
bro i was expecting it to be on this list.
You haven't mentioned a pretty rare/obscure game called Gotcha Force.
Phantasy Star: Episodes I & II was the greatest gamecube game ever
Metal Arms: Glitch in the System, is a rare game, released on all 3 platforms of the time (GCN, PS2, and Xbox)
prepare urself?
more like prepare ur wallet lol amirite guise?
I fite for my friends though
RandomTens oh stan~
What about the Super Monkey ball 1 & 2 bundle release?
I saw it a long time ago being sold on Amazon, but I couldn't find any more info other than the boxart.
Gotcha Force is also mega rare. Like nearly $200 CIB rare.
+BoneCollector i was thinking the same thing. i thought that was gonna make at least like 3rd place
Oh shit that's rare? Maybe I shouldn't have given it away
lol I've still got this game. Stuck on one level with those 3-4 huge satellite things for the last 10 years or so
Calvin Leong use a couple gatling gunners and G-red
Found it today at NY comic con!
Why did you not include the GBA player disc on the list? Also this video was released on my birthday!
Is that rare? I have it
It can fetch for a pretty penny actually.
BigPurpNurp no it's not rare can I have it?
Well its not exactly rare but its pretty expensive, and most times they have JUST the player and not the disc.
phantasy star online episodes one and two
+Troy McGuffey Phantasy Star I & II Plus
it was my favorite game on the system
+Troy McGuffey same here, I was lucky to find a used one at a blockbuster before they closed down. I want to go back to it now
The last time i saw one in a store was about 2003-2004. I graduated high school in 2005 the the xbox 360 was just coming out and the cube was in its prime. I still have the case, manual, and game. I even have a sega dreamcast version of episode one with one of those huge books that tells you about alot of the weapons and things in the game. Its still one of my top 10 favorite all time games.
+Troy McGuffey I have the original version with the GameCube chat controller "keyboard" and a broadband adapter.
Just in case you all didn't know, there is a private server that you can still use to play this online. :)
Huh...my brother bought Cubivore back in 2006 or so, and we still have it as well as the box for it, IIRC.
Neat.
Wanna sell it?
I'll pay you 80 dollars for it!
I have Cubivore too, bought the only one I've ever come across.
I love my GameCube still
Woah, I was expecting Gotcha Force and Ribbit King, and definitely Skies of Arcadia Legends (about $140 cib), but either way, nice video. Wasn't expecting a sports game! As for my favorites, it'd have to be Skies of Arcadia Legends and Viewtiful Joe. Both absolutely incredible, and everyone should pick up a copy if they have the chance.
Gotcha Force is rare as hell. I sold mine for $155
Yes im surprised to not see it on here
should've been on here instead of fire emblem
Got it today in nyc
What about the Zelda Collectors Edition with Zelda 1 + 2, Ocarina of Time (including Master Quest), Majoras Mask and the Windwaker Demo?
haven't watched the video yet, but Cubivore better be on here.
I've seen the 1st rarest 2K3 basketball game on different lists, but I'm surprised I didn't see the (supposed) 2nd rarest Gamecube game on this list, which is apparently Phantasy Star Online Episodes 1 & 2 Plus (with "Plus" on the end of the title).
According to various lists I've seen, that is the 2nd rarest Gamecube game, just behind Basketball 2K3. Usually around $75.
Thanks for putting so much effort into each and every one of your videos, man. It's great that you haven't sacrificed quality for the sake of quantity yet, unlike what alot of content creators have.
Haha I won't lie sometimes I see other creators pumping out videos like its nothing and I get a little envious that my projects are 20-60 hours in work. But from day one I've always tried to put a little more effort into my stuff (even if the talent wasn't there) in hopes that the hard work would make our vids stand out and also because I love pushing my editing further and further.
Anyways that's just my long drawn-out way of saying thank you for noticing and taking the time to comment that. Those sort of comments are the ones that really help the channel the most because it's nice to be reaffirmed that the long hours and hard work do make that difference for some! :)
Phantasy Star Online: Episode I&II (Non plus edition) is pretty rare now days too. it will run you nearly $100 and was a killer game! lol
*SERIOUSLY.*
I'VE NEVER SEEN A PURPLE GAMECUBE. WHERE ARE THESE MYTHOLOGICAL BEASTS? All gamecubes I've seen have either been black (like mine) or silver, with the occasional themed one (DK, etc.)
I'm pretty sure the purple GameCube was the first release, I no longer have the console but the purple controller that came with it is still my best working and favorite to use.
What's really weird is the orange GameCubes (look it up!)
I actually do own an authentic purple GCN.
I've seen a couple purple ones at daycare centers where they have some videogame consoles
i have one on my shelf. every used game store in town has at least a half dozen of these things here in canada
Brandon K
Canada.
What is the game at 5:37?
best gamecube game ever phantasy star online ep 1 & 2
Well, in terms of gameplay, story, graphics, really anything, it wasn't exactly impressive. But damn was it addicting :D
My all time favorite gamecube games
Pokemon Colosseum
Paper mario ttyd
Super mario sunshine
Mario kart double dash
Legend of spyro
Sonic adventure 2
Smash bros melee
Mario party 7
Kirby air ride
Star fox adventures
Holy shit, its 2010 tomska.
That's what I said!
How did you not put Gotcha Force on this list? My friend had it and it was awesome but it goes for $250 on average on eBay now
I have Cubivore. Knowing how rare it is I´m never going to part with it.
yesterday, I got sonic adventure DX and sonic adventure 2 battle, and therye great games also.
Is Cubivore fun?
I might want to track it down if it’s a nice game (not from you, don’t worry;)
Nice list. I own cubivore and path or radiance. I already did a longplay of fire emblem and it was super fun. I can't wait to play cubivore in the upcoming months with my new original component cable.
Boi, Fates is definitely the worst in the series.
ok fates is part of the reason the series is still running
+Google Chrom Most of the fates fans are just there for the waifu's.
+Chikin and I am there for the gameplay
I'd disagree, I enjoyed it more then Awakening, which is DEFINITELY the one where people go for the waifus and a chick who is a scumbag but everyone likes just for her ass
+Chikin I hate it for the removed content and censorship plus the stupid pricing and DLC
Great video, maybe next video about "Rarest PS Vita games"?
That system has quite a lot rare games.
lol I got Radiant Dawn and Path of Radiance for free from an old lady.
Curse you.
thats how shitty creepypastas begin, get ready m8
She was just some 50-60 something year old lady. I think the games were her son's before he moved out.
+SwaggyScraggy and?... Cursed yet or what's the story here?
I fucking hate you.
I want those paintings/drawings in the background, where can i get them?
I still have my black GameCube :)
+david dagon racist
+david dagon slavery ended 200 years ago bro
you were supposed to let it go
I wasn't trying to be racist I have that color and my cousin had a silver
david dagon i know i have a black gc as well geez
Me too
i still got my pokemon box , how do i sell it how much would i get ?
And now you can just get an emulator and play all of these games :)
Yeah. XD
Emulated games past the cartridge era do not perform in an exact manner. For example, in F-Zero GX emulators often times crash.
Truth, Brian. i've been doing emulators since the nesticle days, and they aren't the proper experience. they'll do for a quick fix, but if you're serious about old games you need the hardware. sound especially suffers, and the games timing and speed are off a lot. some might argue they "run better", and while they don't suffer from the slowdown, that was a part of the experience on the consoles.
doodoostickstain I've personally found that even graphics and styles change. For example, in the original hardware Super Mario Sunshine, FLUDD's meter in the corner has a 3D modelled look, but in Dolphin its this weird flat 2D sprite looking thing. Also, the pachinko machine, poison river water in the sky, and the overall gameplay seems to be easier and a little _less_ "twicthy" for lack of a better word, in dolphin.
+doodoostickstain
Nope. All retro systems will go extinct in a decade or two. Nothing lasts forever. The GameCube is one the easiest systems to emanate.
Found NCAA 2k3 in a goodwill for $2 when I went up front to purchase it they didn't have the disk😥
My favorite GameCube game is also my favorite game of all time! Sonic Adventure 2 Battle ;)
fuck off
5:37 Which game is this??
You're so good-looking.
Views this week
Mega Man X Collection is really rare if it's on GameCube.
Fruit is healthy.
+The 3 Newbs You just ruined my day, I traded it for a Melee back in 2008 ;-;
Nyx The Shield Damn. Sorry buddy.
Melee is still an amazing game though.
Interesting video. I love the GameCube (and the Wii U, Wii, N64, SNES, NES). Damn, beautiful blue eyes, man.
...or you could just download the roms online and play them on a hacked wii lol
Can you use Pokemon Box to transfer Pokemon to Gens 4-6.
or just get the emulator. no such thing as a rare iso after all! Amirite?
Nick Of All Trades >_>
didnt that metroid windwaker game also come with an ocarina of time for gamecube? or was that the original release of windwaker? one of my favorite cube accessories is the gameboy advance adapter(with the play disc, if you buy one make sure it comes with a disc or it wont work) but i also really liked crystal chronicles multiplayer with the gameboy advance attached.
Glad you included Cubivore, I was one of the few people that had it back in the day. I absolutely loved it though
Metroid and wind waker is now like $400 today, but I'm curious can't u make them with both the metroid and wind waker discs u can buy separately?
came here to check if cubivore was on the list so glad I picked that up when I was a kid!
Wanted to let you know that the Metroid Prime and Windwaker 2-in-1 is still two discs and two manuals. So, for the most hardcore collectors, just know you're literally paying $150 for the artwork.
I have the demo disc from february 2005 with mario tennis, kaitos and mario party, is it rare?
And how much is it worth ?
You're talking about the NTSC version of Pokemon Box, right? Cause here in the PAL region, you get them pretty easy for about 10 Euro (ca. 12 US-Dollar)
A quick correction on Pokémon Box: it was available at the Pokémon Center in New York, before it was turned into the Nintendo World Store.
+RandomTens How much do you think a loose copy of NCAA 2K3 basketball would be worth?
he left "Phantasy Star Online Episodes 1 and 2 plus" off the list
I bought a black gamecube mariocart dubble dash, legend of zelda combo edition 3 weeks ago, is it rare, or any good?
I have quite a few of the games in this video still working on my gamecube
Couldn't help but admire the Charizard holding the "Not a Dragon" sign. That literally caught my attention haha!
You forgot Gotcha Force and a game I forget the name of, I think it might be Evolution Worlds, in which the main character uses a machine with a giant hand on his back as his weapon, and has a butler named Gre Nade, and a girl joins named Linear Cannon.
Those two games are quite hard to find, as Gotcha Force was recalled at one point, and the second game is rare to begin with.
Holy cow, I actually have a copy of Cubivore. It's a pretty fun game, glad to know I could make a good chunk of change if I were to sell it.
I was a little surprised not to see Kirby airide on this list. I've gone through a couple copies I found at antique game shops, but outside the copy my friend still owns I've yet to find a working disc in good repair.
I bought Cubivore on launch day. Who knew it would be so rare? I believe it was budget priced too.
Oh cool, nice to see I have one on the list! Definitely gonna hold on to my Metroid, Zelda combo now!
If you want to get the most out of the Tellius Fire Emblem games, you'll need a Model 1 Wii with the GameCube ports so you can transfer your save from Path of Radiance to Radiant Dawn via GameCube Memory Card. That's one feature that the later Wii models removed.
I HAVE WIND WAKER FOR THE GAMECUBE AND IT STILL WORKS

Curry man I miss my GameCube. I still have a PS3 and PS2. I should buy another GameCube console. 🎮👍
Not even Worms Blast is on the list?
You're gonna get so many subscribers, I just know it :D
First time watcher, long time gamer! My favorite GC game is definitely Super Smash Brothers Melee, but I also love Mario Golf - I've been known to play both for hours! The rarest game I have is Dance Dance Revolution Mario Mix. I had a hard time getting it, but the guy I was dating at the time found it on eBay, bought it without telling me, and came over one night with it. I love that game, and still have it to this day (10 years later). I also still have that amazing dance mat! We broke up about two years later, but this was definitely one of the nicest gifts I received from him.
Hey umm what happened with Skies of Arcadia Legends you know the GCN port or the DreamCast original that goes for $200
Personal favorites out of the games i played are Wind Waker, Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door, Mario Kart Double Dash, NFS: Underground, and Lego Star Wars
Definitely thought you were going to bring up DDR Mario Mix from that opening mashup. Probably the rarest GameCube game I own.
What about gotcha force? That was an incredibly niche game no one knew about and used copies go for quite a lot
Strange fact is I haven't played Smash Brothers Melee for GCN but I have played Cubivore.... I played abaout 15 minutes and liked the game, the plus is I paid only $18 for the new sealed copy at a local EB Games.
Paper Mario, Animal Crossing, and Pikmin. Hands down.
No mention of Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem?
I have Cubivore complete with instruction booklet.. I also have a copy of Gotcha Force complete too. I have some rare stuff!
Phantasy Star Online Episode 1 and 2 plus. :) Have my copy, and still love it all these years later.
Really? I'm surprised to see no mention of the Sonic Gems Collection!
