10 facts about Nintendo's Gamecube you might not know. Got any other trivia tidbits about this underrated console? Let's talk in the comments! ★ Gameranx Facebook: / gameranx ★ Subscribe for more: / gameranxtv
Joegaming I honestly think in about 5 or so years the Wii U will be an underrated console that people will say "This had so many great games. Why didn't anyone buy it???" But meh, I've enjoyed mine.
Nuke Away I meant what I said. I've loved my Wii U. I'm saying that in time the Wii U will be another console considered underrated with great games. It will join GameCube and Dreamcast in being underrated consoles. I'll admit 5 years is early but it's 5am, I'm still waking up.lol
That was a segway into the actual fact. IE "You probably knew about holding down Z for a different intro sound BUT did you know that you get yet another intro sound if you hold down Z on four controllers simultaneously?" Basically what he was saying.
360bobba he got all tongue twisted and didnt bother re-recording that line. Kind of a glaring mistake for a show with an otherwise good production value.
+Demetrius Sage Yes, I was just reinforcing your point. When I said "little rectange" I guess I meant "little square" but yeah I was just saying that when you install it onto a GCN it makes it the perfect system.
Gamecube was an epic console for nintento, it had everything from multiple Zelda titles, rated M titles like RE4, and loads of nintendo original titles. Something the Wii and Wii U have seemed to lack! :(
WhatAreYouBuyen I still own a 1st generation model GameCube and I still play it. Sometimes even more than my Switch and PlayStation 4! One of my many favorites is Eternal Darkness Sanity's Requiem. Such a great game which was underrated when it came out in 2002.
Nintendo: "Guys,Twilight Princess Wii is coming out soon, but there is a problem! People are right handed and Link is left handed!" Workers: "What do we do?" Nintendo: " It's obviously too hard to reverse Link, so we just need to reverse the entire huge world and all the dungeons. It's much easier!"
Green knock yourself out man, the 6th Generation is easily the GOAT generation, with god-tier games like F-Zero GX, Melee, Resident Evil 4, God of War II, Ninja Gaiden Black, Power Stone 2 and Golden Sun the Lost Age, it just didn't get any better. I never surpassed my high school years as far as gaming goes (rip 2001-2006)
Guy: "Hi, customer support? I just bought one of these new Gamecube things from Circuit City and it's not reading my music CDs." Confused Rep: "You bought what from where now?"
1080 Avalanche is in the top of my favorite games for the system. It was such an amazing game, both to play with friends and by yourself. Combine that with smooth gameplay, unique maps and great music and you've got an awesome game. Too bad it had no sequel.
That Panasonic GameCube was supposed to do just that. The ps2 had a built in DVD player so Nintendo tried to do the same with Sony's rival company, Panasonic, but ultimately failed. I think it was pricing in Japan, so no one bought it so they killed it off. If they sold it in the U.S market, I think it would've sold many units.
yeah I heard two reasons why Panasonic's GameCube failed. 1. Didn't support the gameboy player. 2. It cost more than buying a Nintendo's GameCube and a dvd player separately. Which two is just common sense when in marketing. While a GameCube/DVD combo is practical, most people are not that lazy. They'd rather save $50 even if that means switching the av cables between dvd player and GameCube.
+LeCoolFace nah I never really liked Japanese stuff. the only things I like from Japan are MGS V: TPP and The last Airbender (no idea if it was American or Japanese)
One cool thing about the Gamecube is that it received information from your TV with exactly the same cord that the N64 used, so to switch consoles, you just easily remove the plug from one console and put it in the other one. If only we could combine all console cords into one!
The gamecube is truly a great console. its amazing that it is still technically around today. The Wii and even the Wii U are just updated variations of the GC hardware. If you install homebrew channel and an app called Nintendont you can play GC games in the form of isos on the Wii U with no emulation needed, Wii and Wii U play them natively.
The Wii was supposed to be a add-on to the GameCube. Gyroration wanted to sell their motion control patterning to someone. They first went to the gaming industry with Microsoft and SONY, but they both declined. They soon went to Nintendo on Launch Year of the GameCube. Nintendo accepted and tried on a motion controller which was similar designed to the GameCube gamepad. The only difference is the analog stick and the digital pad locations has been switched similar to the PlayStation 2 DUALSHOCK 2. The Left Handle and Analog stick breaks up with the Right Handle. Then the design went to the Wii Mote design as we know today, but the GameCube Add-on was scrapped and is now a independent console as we know today as the Wii.
no mention of the digital video port that was in launch systems and later scrapped on later hardware revisions in the US. The digital port and proprietary component cable was the only way to play progressive scan (480p) GameCube games until the wii in 2006
Welcome to the evolution of the gaming industry. Even adjusting for inflation it's a huge difference. It sucks that we have so many money grabbing businesses now. I remember when overall games used to be enjoyable, and where you can go into a store and pick pretty much anything off the shelf and it be a quality product. Now games are more "buyer beware" than ever.
You know what. I love this "probably" in your Titel! There are so many Channels out there that just say 10blabla you didn't know, but i allready knew like 80 percent of them and i think to myself: " These people know shit about me". But you, you say probably and then show me a video were i actually knew only one single fact of these 10. So thank you! You're aweseome!
About the stereoscopic 3D, Panasonic manufactured the add on screen. E3 2001 the GameCube was in a sealed transparent box with this screen on top off it running games. The 3D functions was turned off so no one noticed the stereoscopic display.
When you Start the Wii for the first Time, the Wii ask you what your main-Hand is. Just if you select your Main-hand was right, Twilight Princess will flipped up, becouse you can better controll link with the Wiimote! If you selected you are left handed, the Game will not flipped up!! (Sorry for Bad English! I came from Germany)
The GameCube is my favorite Nintendo console... Such an amazing system Awesome controller that has aged phenominally Games that aged really well Tons of great games, such as Pikmin, Melee, Wind Waker, Mario Sunshine, Wario World, Animal Crossing, and Eternal Darkness And has very good 3rd party
+Silpho what is 'unnecessary' about the jump from ps3/x360 to the current gen? The ps3 came out in 2006...so that's 7 years inbetween consoles, which is much longer then usual console lifespan. The hardware was severely outdated and they needed to be updated to give developers room to create bigger worlds and new gameplay elements which wouldn't otherwise be possible.

Am I right in thinking the start up sound with 4 controllers is the exact same sound from the m64 game pokemon stadium lickitung minigame, or do you think i'm being too specific and weird that I remember something like that?
The GameCube is the console I played all the way from elementary through graduation. Whenever I get the chance to go back home, I always play my old games. The N64, DS, and Wii didn't have the same effect on me.
"It definitely worked!" He says about one of Nintendos worst selling consoles ever lol. Topped (or should I say bottomed) by only the Wii U. Even the original Xbox sold more, and it was a new brand.
Ever hear of Metroid prime, zelda twilight princess, F-zero gx even? not all of nintendo's franchises are targeted at kids and even so the games can be played by anyone. Give somebody who plays "adult orientated" games a nintendo game and they struggle to even pass the first stage...
Me and my friends all had either an Xbox or a PS2 but we all had a GameCube aswell, we would ALWAYS play the Gamecube on 4 player over the other two. It just had so much fun multiplayer games compared to xbox and ps2.
+BradandGeeMusic Me and my friends all have Wii U's but half of us are PS4 fans, half are Xbox One fans.... Guess things haven't really changed much...
...I'm actually kinda impressed. Usually these "facts you probably didn't know" lists are made up of the low hanging fruit or actually commonly known things and I already know most of them. I only knew two already. Good job. I'm going to have to watch the others you've made to see if you beat out the competition.
Ok now I'm not entirely sure, but when Jake was talking about how they mirrored twilight princess, he said that the wii version was a port, which depending on how you think of it, that could be wrong. The Gamecube and Wii versions were released on the same day
That mirror imaging of twilight princess caught me really off-guard when I played it for the first time on a gamecube coming from the wii version. It felt so damn weird and I thought I had just remembered the game backwards somehow XD
How the game cube could have been the console of the decade: 1 - Regular sized CD's. 2 - USB styled controller ports. 3 - USB styled memory sticks. 4 - Secondary HDMI video cable instead of proprietary one 5 - DVD reader capability. 6 - Clickable analog sticks and double brows instead of just Z And that's it. Piracy would have been significantly higher yes, but the console would have sold tenfold.
Still have my old GC with the Twilight Princess skin. :) Such awesome games were made for it. So much joy from N64 and GC. Nowadays, most games don't bring me that same feeling. They're still fun, don't get me wrong. But there was/is just something so special and unique about N64 and GC. I'll never sell mine. Oh, and my N64 is the special Pikachu edition. Bought it when Toys R Us had them on clearance way back when. :) Good times.
main missing part from this vid? "did you know, it was rather common, and easy, to buy a replacement case for the gamecube that accepted full size disks, and that the cd drive is more than capable of reading these disks? " this was commonpractice, both for piracey and functionality. if i remember correctly they handle dvd/audio cd's no trouble once free of there tiny cased prison. pull the board out the box and find out for yourself :)
The Gamecube made me and my brothers childhoods but the three games we had was Mario Kart Double Dash, Sonic Riders, and Ed Edd Eddy Misadventure. Yeah we didn't had much but it made our past great.
I had a GameCube when 8 was 12 and was pissed that third party developers were announcing games for it and then cancelling them at the last minute and choosing the Xbox and ps2 over it but I still enjoyed it.
that start up sound, when all four controllers are plugged in holding down the z button, is from Nintendo 64's pokemon stadium 2 licky tongue mini game lmao
gamecube is the best console I think Nintendo has ever made (based on the games it had). come on, metroid prime 1 & 2, resident evil 4, Mario sunshine, wind waker, twilight princess, and SO many others. it was just a great era for Nintendo!
At 99.99 retailers had to eat the cost on the GC. I worked at Circuit City at the time, and we got a discount of cost + 10%. When I went to buy one with my "discount" it rang up as 120-something.
I only knew about the Twilight Princess thing because I played that game on the Gamecube originally, not the (inferior) Wii port. I'm glad the HD release is based on the real version of the game.
Fun fact about the GameCube controller: the Z button is microswitched, while all the other buttons are membranes. The reason is that Nintendo originally had no intention of implementing the Z button, but software developers demanded it be put in. So they soldered a microswitch onto the board and went from there. This hastiness is probably part of why people break the Z button and then whine about it.
+Alaeriia It was Retro Studios that ultimately got Nintendo to do it. While developing Metroid Prime, they concluded that there were not enough buttons. The game ended up using it just for the map though.
Everyone knows the mirror-flip fact. We also knew about the DVD-player GameCube. We also knew about the other start-up noises. The other 7 facts were pretty good, though.

The GC is such an underrated console. It has some of the best first and third party games on a Nintendo console.
It really was. Sounds kinda familiar when you think about it.
+Eric Holmes *coughs* the Dreamcast also I love the GameCube I would just watch the intro for minutes
Joegaming I honestly think in about 5 or so years the Wii U will be an underrated console that people will say "This had so many great games. Why didn't anyone buy it???" But meh, I've enjoyed mine.
mate you didn't proof read before you posted or your just talkin shit
Nuke Away I meant what I said. I've loved my Wii U. I'm saying that in time the Wii U will be another console considered underrated with great games. It will join GameCube and Dreamcast in being underrated consoles. I'll admit 5 years is early but it's 5am, I'm still waking up.lol
I'll also add that the lack of intro sound is kinda disturbing.
yes yes it is!
+Deranged Scout we wanted to keep you on your toes.
Your face looks kinda laggy.
SORRY.
+Deranged Scout IT FUCKED ME UP
"What would you do for a Nintendo GameCube?"
*Pulls off pants and shits on the floor*
pulls of pants shits on wii, wii U and gamecube
+Nuke Away lol u funny bruh
that funny
+Jew Jitsu
♪aaaawwww yeaaaaaaaaaaaaa♪

"10 Nintendo Gamecube Facts You Probably Didn't Know"
*Later*
"At number 3, here's a fact that many of you guys probably knew."
Hmmm...
lawl
That was a segway into the actual fact. IE "You probably knew about holding down Z for a different intro sound BUT did you know that you get yet another intro sound if you hold down Z on four controllers simultaneously?" Basically what he was saying.
This is a really fucking great channel. *applauds*
+Cookiesaurus Thanks.
+gameranx do you think they will make sunshine 2 also great channel
+gameranx THERE'S NO INTRO SOUND!
Not trying to start something or take false credit, but I say this almost everyday but go unnoticed, and this too will probably go unnoticed, bummer 😕
+Cookiesaurus Sooo true they sholud have more subs then IGN and Machinima combine
2:00
nope nope th-that was a good take just keep it in there!
+Augasmic I'm not doing that shit again bru you ain't got the answers
pokemon hnhfmfmhachu
+Augasmic XD lol!
I didn't catch that until I saw this comment! XD
what are you talking about?
360bobba he got all tongue twisted and didnt bother re-recording that line. Kind of a glaring mistake for a show with an otherwise good production value.
No intro sound... I was waiting for the intro sound, for a second i thought that my headphones were broken lol
same tbh
+Pim Nelissen I thought that, too, except I knew my headphones were working. XD
Me 2
Pim Nelissen same
Same
I got a gamecube at a yardsale with pikmin, animal crossing, super mario sunshine and some other games for 25 bucks... :')
Goddamn! Fuckin sweet! Great deal. Have fun!
you found a goldmine
I take it you bought it off white people?
Woah, who sells their GameCube?
My childhood. Was spongebob and Kirby air ride
did you know if you actually installed The Game Boy Player onto The Gamecube, it actually becomes a real cube.
+Demetrius Sage A Gamecube hasn't unlocked its full potential until it has that little rectangle attached to its underside. It's the perfect system.
justinman114
I don't know what you are talking about, I've never seen it.
+Demetrius Sage ....the GameBoy player lol
justinman114
Yes, it becomes a Perfect Cube.
+Demetrius Sage Yes, I was just reinforcing your point. When I said "little rectange" I guess I meant "little square" but yeah I was just saying that when you install it onto a GCN it makes it the perfect system.

My brother has his gamecube still
Excuse me? The Wii had original and mature titles too such as: No More Heroes, Mad World, Darksider Chronicles, etc.
I still treasure my wii u due to the fact it gave me my favorite video game series, splatoon.
Yeah, becouse that time the hardware are on par with the actual generation like ps2/dreamcast/xbox. Since than its like what it is today.
Thr GC and the GBAs were SOOO Stylish!
+Ajax K I love the Handle on the GC
+Scot Free lmao i still carry my gamecube to school for melee with the handle
+Ajax K Check out the Panasonic Q if you want stylish.
Nintendo: "Guys,Twilight Princess Wii is coming out soon, but there is a problem! People are right handed and Link is left handed!"
Workers: "What do we do?"
Nintendo: " It's obviously too hard to reverse Link, so we just need to reverse the entire huge world and all the dungeons. It's much easier!"
GameCube is a very underrated system
is and particularly was during it's era. It was allll about being "cool" in those days. So dumb. Tis my high school years.
michael grignon I don't have a GameCube. That's why I wanna get one and know what gaming was like in 2001-2004.
Green knock yourself out man, the 6th Generation is easily the GOAT generation, with god-tier games like F-Zero GX, Melee, Resident Evil 4, God of War II, Ninja Gaiden Black, Power Stone 2 and Golden Sun the Lost Age, it just didn't get any better. I never surpassed my high school years as far as gaming goes (rip 2001-2006)
*Several people are typing...*
But it’s a good console too like the PS2
That Panasonic Gamecube looks pretty cool.
it looks more like a miniature oven/microwave to me than a game system
+Tom Petric Why?
fuck those ppl who never bought panasonic gamecube
Guy: "Hi, customer support? I just bought one of these new Gamecube things from Circuit City and it's not reading my music CDs." Confused Rep: "You bought what from where now?"
1080 Avalanche is in the top of my favorite games for the system. It was such an amazing game, both to play with friends and by yourself. Combine that with smooth gameplay, unique maps and great music and you've got an awesome game. Too bad it had no sequel.
They need a sequel contest for E3 2016 called "What would you do for a Nintendo NX?"
OMG THIS SONG IN THE BACKGROUND IS KILLING ME
If it had had a DVD player function it would have been more successful. There was such a hype about DVDs in the early 2000s.
*soulagent79* What if there was an add on for the GameCube like the Gameboy player, but it was a DVD player with a tray that opens and closes?
That Panasonic GameCube was supposed to do just that. The ps2 had a built in DVD player so Nintendo tried to do the same with Sony's rival company, Panasonic, but ultimately failed. I think it was pricing in Japan, so no one bought it so they killed it off. If they sold it in the U.S market, I think it would've sold many units.
yeah I heard two reasons why Panasonic's GameCube failed.
1. Didn't support the gameboy player.
2. It cost more than buying a Nintendo's GameCube and a dvd player separately.
Which two is just common sense when in marketing. While a GameCube/DVD combo is practical, most people are not that lazy. They'd rather save $50 even if that means switching the av cables between dvd player and GameCube.
I love the controls on the GameCube they make sense and feel like they're right at your fingertips
I actually saw that Pokemon episode on TV once.
me too and I never liked pokémon
+LeCoolFace nah I never really liked Japanese stuff. the only things I like from Japan are MGS V: TPP and The last Airbender (no idea if it was American or Japanese)
+22 mambo Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Kora are American made shows. Not Japanese.
+JR0DGamerz [Hax, Weed and MORE!] Whats the point of lying about that.
+JR0DGamerz [Hax, Weed and MORE!] Waaaaaiiit... You did? I just saw it on TH-cam. Cool, Right?
One cool thing about the Gamecube is that it received information from your TV with exactly the same cord that the N64 used, so to switch consoles, you just easily remove the plug from one console and put it in the other one. If only we could combine all console cords into one!
I still have a Gamecube and play it very often. I don't know anyone who still plays Xbox and PS2.
I play PS2 almost daily.
I love my Xbox!
I got my ps2 but I like the games but the console...maybe
I have a moded original xbox I use for a few exclusive games and emulators. Pretty cool it can be used as a linux pc too.
I play PS2
As a left handed individual, #6 pissed me off.
Jacob D us left handers have been oppressed long enough!
I really wish they'd just release a new Game Cube. Could you imagine a Game Cube with PS4/Xbox One graphics? I'd buy that right now.
Oh, Fu*k YES!!!
The gamecube is truly a great console. its amazing that it is still technically around today. The Wii and even the Wii U are just updated variations of the GC hardware. If you install homebrew channel and an app called Nintendont you can play GC games in the form of isos on the Wii U with no emulation needed, Wii and Wii U play them natively.
IT'S CUBICLE!!!!
CUBICLE!!!!!!!
CUBICLE
I would say the lower price definitely helped sell them. I remember going through at least 3 of them as a child. still have my 4th on though :)
Gamesphere is better
it's spherical, SPHERICAL!
You Boob
true
Spherical!!!
Drake and Josh?
i really loved the gamecube. not only the games but also the console itself. so nice and tidy

The Nintendo Gamecube's pre-release alias name was the Nintendo Dolphin.
Oh that's why the best Wii and gamecube emulator is called dolphin emulator
The dolphin (Gamecube) was supposedly to be cartridge and since a lot of competitors where using DVD they decided to use discs
no mention of the digital video port that was in launch systems and later scrapped on later hardware revisions in the US. The digital port and proprietary component cable was the only way to play progressive scan (480p) GameCube games until the wii in 2006
A gamecube for $100 when it was till modern hardwae... Damn. The next time we were promised a console for $100 it was the crappy ouya.
Welcome to the evolution of the gaming industry. Even adjusting for inflation it's a huge difference. It sucks that we have so many money grabbing businesses now. I remember when overall games used to be enjoyable, and where you can go into a store and pick pretty much anything off the shelf and it be a quality product. Now games are more "buyer beware" than ever.
Here's a neat fact. In the manual you can see pictures of save data for N64 games on the GameCube memory card.
2:01 wich "jsjdhwj" released.... hahaha wtf happened to you brl
I was about to ask the same thing, but you beat me to it...
I've been on a gamecube binge lately reliving my childhood. how conveniently timed! thanks gameranx!
Would love a Wii one of this, since its the most known system of all time it'll be interesting to see what obscure facts you can find.
Wait twighlight princess was on GameCube
+guynumber20 Yeah. It was. :P
+guynumber20 One of the last game released for the Gamecube too!
+guynumber20 Yep! They first developed it for the GameCube, and it was released after the Wii version, with a few bug fixes too!
when were you born?
+guynumber20 Yes, and it's the superior version.
You know what. I love this "probably" in your Titel! There are so many Channels out there that just say 10blabla you didn't know, but i allready knew like 80 percent of them and i think to myself: " These people know shit about me". But you, you say probably and then show me a video were i actually knew only one single fact of these 10. So thank you! You're aweseome!
what the fuq was the thumbnail even supposed to attract or show
+RBDphilosophy it is a 2001 GameCube ad, Sony is not the only one with weird commercials ya know.
RBDphilosophy now I know where the term clickbait comes from.
About the stereoscopic 3D, Panasonic manufactured the add on screen. E3 2001 the GameCube was in a sealed transparent box with this screen on top off it running games. The 3D functions was turned off so no one noticed the stereoscopic display.

If you selected you are left handed, the Game will not flipped up!! (Sorry for Bad English! I came from Germany)
Not true, the game is always right handed on the wii
your english is good.

The GameCube is my favorite Nintendo console... Such an amazing system
Awesome controller that has aged phenominally
Games that aged really well
Tons of great games, such as Pikmin, Melee, Wind Waker, Mario Sunshine, Wario World, Animal Crossing, and Eternal Darkness
And has very good 3rd party
The Gamecube is my 2nd favorite system. The GBA is my favorite :) It was a good generation.
the fucks a gba
Nuke Away seriously?
Game
Boy
Advance
I say PS1 and 2 are my favorite systems and GBA takes 2nd.
+Nuke Away game boy advance
My top 5
#1. Gamecube
#2. Nintendo 64
#3. Atari 2600
#4. Super Nintendo
#5. Intellivision
Yeah something like that...
+sunshineyon I took my GBA SP everywhere, it was a great system. I started out with GBA SP, GameCube and PS2.
the 4 controllers attached startup sound is similar to kiwae's trial theme during the dances in pokemon sun and moon
"People are forced to buy the game system to play the software" COUGH XBOX ONE AND PS4 COUGH
+Silpho I think it relates to any game system/PC actually
Surreal Gaming True, but what I'm referring to is the unnecessary jump from xbox 360 +ps3 to xbone and ps4, oh well I guess.
+Silpho what is 'unnecessary' about the jump from ps3/x360 to the current gen? The ps3 came out in 2006...so that's 7 years inbetween consoles, which is much longer then usual console lifespan. The hardware was severely outdated and they needed to be updated to give developers room to create bigger worlds and new gameplay elements which wouldn't otherwise be possible.

Lack of backwards compatibility for starters? Wii U did it for gamecube AND wii (GC is homebrew but still).
The Gamecube is just so... charming for some reason
didnt they put that pokemon episode onto the Entei movie cassette? im sure i had that on video as a kid
lmao, I thought the same thing.
I thought it was at the end of Pokemon Heroes as well
That was a different pichu episode actually.
- Zelda Wind Waker
- Mario Sunshine
- Metroid Prime
- Animal Crossing
All I need.
2:56 Or you can just download Dolphin Emulator
Or you can do something illegal...., unless you have a GameCube yourself like me 😀
Mario Super You can use Dolphin Emulator legally if you bought the games.
+TheSmashbros45 Nope you can't Only if you rip your own game from the disc, you can't legally download it even if you own it.
+TheSmashbros45 also, you have to own the system,games, and rip the games from the disc, like I did
+TheSmashbros45 u do realize gamecube games are still hard as fuck to emulate at full fps
It's probably just me but I think this channel needs more Nintendo related videos.
game cube can play game boy and game boy advance games with an atatchment on the bottom.
The start up music at 3:58 is made of sound effects you can make when you die in co-op on New Super Mario Bros Wii by clicking buttons on the D-pad
Am I right in thinking the start up sound with 4 controllers is the exact same sound from the m64 game pokemon stadium lickitung minigame, or do you think i'm being too specific and weird that I remember something like that?
+x0jas0x I was scrolling through all of these comments just to see if I was the only one who noticed this! I am so glad someone else did!
The GameCube is the console I played all the way from elementary through graduation. Whenever I get the chance to go back home, I always play my old games. The N64, DS, and Wii didn't have the same effect on me.
4:02
If you listen closely, you can hear March Ahead's *HOO* from Paper Mario.
The GC is one of my favorite consoles. I wish it was more supported but still, I had a lot of fun on that console.
"It definitely worked!" He says about one of Nintendos worst selling consoles ever lol. Topped (or should I say bottomed) by only the Wii U. Even the original Xbox sold more, and it was a new brand.
Nintendo fans had the last laugh since the GameCube had better games
***** The games were steller regardless of ones age, I'm an adult and like many others I still enjoy playing the gamecube
Ever hear of Metroid prime, zelda twilight princess, F-zero gx even? not all of nintendo's franchises are targeted at kids and even so the games can be played by anyone. Give somebody who plays "adult orientated" games a nintendo game and they struggle to even pass the first stage...
The gamecube had some good games for sure. Fire Emblem Path of Radiance was my favorite personally.
That's a little close minded but ok...
I love that tribal drum sound from holding z with 4 controllers
Me and my friends all had either an Xbox or a PS2 but we all had a GameCube aswell, we would ALWAYS play the Gamecube on 4 player over the other two. It just had so much fun multiplayer games compared to xbox and ps2.
+BradandGeeMusic Me and my friends all have Wii U's but half of us are PS4 fans, half are Xbox One fans.... Guess things haven't really changed much...
+Hair of the Dog PC master race
NES supremacy over all!
...I'm actually kinda impressed. Usually these "facts you probably didn't know" lists are made up of the low hanging fruit or actually commonly known things and I already know most of them. I only knew two already. Good job. I'm going to have to watch the others you've made to see if you beat out the competition.
Ok now I'm not entirely sure, but when Jake was talking about how they mirrored twilight princess, he said that the wii version was a port, which depending on how you think of it, that could be wrong. The Gamecube and Wii versions were released on the same day
Number 11.- Its a cube-shaped console.
+AngelTheTF2Player [TF2] It's actually a cuboid :P
JamoWaffleSponge oh... im so sorry...
That mirror imaging of twilight princess caught me really off-guard when I played it for the first time on a gamecube coming from the wii version. It felt so damn weird and I thought I had just remembered the game backwards somehow XD
that thumbnail is literally me when i'm on a 72-hour gamecube binge
I learned a thing or two...or ten.
Seriously, I knew none of this.
You've earned a new subscriber. :-)
Such a charming and underrated system.
THE INTRO OMG THE ONE THING I NEED FOR THE IM HOME VIBE
One of my favorite channels
How the game cube could have been the console of the decade:
1 - Regular sized CD's.
2 - USB styled controller ports.
3 - USB styled memory sticks.
4 - Secondary HDMI video cable instead of proprietary one
5 - DVD reader capability.
6 - Clickable analog sticks and double brows instead of just Z
And that's it. Piracy would have been significantly higher yes, but the console would have sold tenfold.
What?!? I would so want a 3D Luigi's Mansion!... Wait a minute...
If that "Do Anything for a GameCube" thing was done today, I guarantee there would be at least one death attributed to it.
Still have my old GC with the Twilight Princess skin. :) Such awesome games were made for it. So much joy from N64 and GC. Nowadays, most games don't bring me that same feeling. They're still fun, don't get me wrong. But there was/is just something so special and unique about N64 and GC. I'll never sell mine. Oh, and my N64 is the special Pikachu edition. Bought it when Toys R Us had them on clearance way back when. :) Good times.
main missing part from this vid?
"did you know, it was rather common, and easy, to buy a replacement case for the gamecube that accepted full size disks, and that the cd drive is more than capable of reading these disks? "
this was commonpractice, both for piracey and functionality. if i remember correctly they handle dvd/audio cd's no trouble once free of there tiny cased prison. pull the board out the box and find out for yourself :)

RIP Satoru Iwata. We'll miss you.
The Gamecube made me and my brothers childhoods but the three games we had was Mario Kart Double Dash, Sonic Riders, and Ed Edd Eddy Misadventure. Yeah we didn't had much but it made our past great.
Twilight Princess!? Mirror Flipped!? MINDBLOWN.
"[People] do not play with the game machine itself."
RIP Yamauchi. If only console developers of today stuck to that...
I had a GameCube when 8 was 12 and was pissed that third party developers were announcing games for it and then cancelling them at the last minute and choosing the Xbox and ps2 over it but I still enjoyed it.
that start up sound, when all four controllers are plugged in holding down the z button, is from Nintendo 64's pokemon stadium 2 licky tongue mini game lmao
PLEASE some more GameCube facts or videos :))
That's not a baby laughing, that's a kid laughing!
gamecube is the best console I think Nintendo has ever made (based on the games it had). come on, metroid prime 1 & 2, resident evil 4, Mario sunshine, wind waker, twilight princess, and SO many others. it was just a great era for Nintendo!
At 99.99 retailers had to eat the cost on the GC. I worked at Circuit City at the time, and we got a discount of cost + 10%. When I went to buy one with my "discount" it rang up as 120-something.
I remember going from the Gamecube version of Twilight Princess to the Wii at my friends, it was a really weird sense disorientation.

there are 10 gamecube startup things including the 2 you mentioned.
Also, not a lot of people know that the GameCube has online capabilities. There were actually quite a few games that you could play online.
Someone dressed up as a Pikmin and ate a bowl of worms just to get a GameCube a couple days early? (Slowly exits life)
Wow, finally a top 10 with really new facts :D
My favourite ever console. RIP old buddy.
3:59 same sound like in Pokémon Trap Remix (Psychic Type - Victory Road) - Pokémon GO Song at the last drop
Knew about the Pokemon Channel. Something is special with two players too. Also, I want that Panasonic!
I only knew about the Twilight Princess thing because I played that game on the Gamecube originally, not the (inferior) Wii port. I'm glad the HD release is based on the real version of the game.
the intro music when u do the 4 controllers thing is from the scyther/pinsir minigame in pokemon stadium for n64
Fun fact about the GameCube controller: the Z button is microswitched, while all the other buttons are membranes. The reason is that Nintendo originally had no intention of implementing the Z button, but software developers demanded it be put in. So they soldered a microswitch onto the board and went from there. This hastiness is probably part of why people break the Z button and then whine about it.
+Alaeriia It was Retro Studios that ultimately got Nintendo to do it. While developing Metroid Prime, they concluded that there were not enough buttons. The game ended up using it just for the map though.
Everyone knows the mirror-flip fact. We also knew about the DVD-player GameCube. We also knew about the other start-up noises. The other 7 facts were pretty good, though.
this was my first gaming console so many good memories playing the tazmanian devil
I'm watching a 60 second ad I can't skip, this video better be good.
that sux
+Gumdropsqueak then how did I have a 60 second one?
