I love that you finally mentioned the different startup sounds, even though the second startup doesn't have animal crossing sound effect since the end is generic, but still!
I don't know if anybody's mentioned this yet, but that menu music is actually the famicom disk system startup music slowed down! Doesn't get much more mind-blowing than that!
Mr Nathaniel Bandy, I bought a GameCube recently, and it arrived today. Why did I want a GameCube? This video, of all things. You know you are a good TH-camr when you actually make someone want to buy a GameCube. You are the best.
I still have my GameCube. I modded mine slightly so not only i can play at home, but i can play in the car without the need for an inverter. I still have the Game Boy attachment but i lost the startup disc a long time ago, and I'm pretty sure they're stupid expensive for a replacement disc.
Paper Mario ttyd Super Mario sunshine Twilight Princess Wind waker Mario party 4-7 Animal crossing Dragonball budokai 1-2 Resident evil 4 (at the time was only on GameCube when it first launched) I can go on and on
My childhood was spent with GameCube and I never had known a game like smash existed up until Smash 4 got released and my friend introduced me to it. Smash Ultimate is my first game I've owned of that series and I love it so goddamn much!
5:58 congrats on enjoying Color Splash! Being my only Paper Mario, I'd say it's very good. Memorable Music, boring story, boring fights, funny side quests and interactions. It was also the first game I did a challenge run for: PMCS All fights. I fought every enime.
At the GameCube launch, I waited in the Wal-Mart parking lot from midnight until they opened at 6 am. That's how stoked I was for that console. And damn if I wasn't floored by the graphics of Rogue Squadron. But how was I supposed to know that only like 5 people in my town wanted one at launch and they had probably 150 in stock on day 1.
So he said name another console that lets you change the music of the start up, well the Nintendo switch does just that. For the start up when you press the same button 3 times, you can press the right trigger or the left trigger to make some funny sounds, you also get some other funny sounds if you press on the left or right joystick.
Shoutout to third party jams like Eternal Darkness, MoH Rising Sun, True Crime Streets of LA, THUG 1 and 2, Simpsons Hit and Run, Soul Calibur II, 007 Nightfire and Agent Under Fire. I know I'm missing a lot of bangers but that's off the top of my head.
Finally! A mind blowing video on my very first console! I grew up on this masterpiece of a system and still play on it, even 10 years later! And in case you didn’t know, the hidden startups aren’t the only secret the cube is hiding! The menu theme is actually a slowed down version of the startup theme to the Famicom Disk System!
3:17 every console had it's portable friend. gamecube had the gameboy, wii had the ds and wii u had the 3ds. let's say that the switch is friends with itself
Very thankful that the GameCube was the first Nintendo console that I owned. Super Monkey Ball 1 & 2, Mario Party 6-7, Melee, and Kirby Air ride are my favorites and still own them to this day!
0:58 Everybody is saying Switch does this too, but everybody seems to be forgetting the PS2 does something similar at its startup. The tower of blocks rises higher is depending on how much memory is on your memory card.

@@noname-jt6kl Yeah, and I may have a nostalgia bias, but objectively, the console is still great. It released upon a time when Nintendo was using it's licenses (which were a lot, especially compared to other consoles at the time), and still respected them. Oh and there's the fact that most games that released in every platforms at the time had their gamecube version (which was more powerful) as the best one, and their PS2 version as the worst, for exemple Sonic Heroes or SoulCalibur 2.
It felt so unique and powerful in its way. I love the GC's design philosophy. Hope that someday their design team takes a look back at it and dares to design something that takes a few more risks!
GameCube was the first console I ever played on, and Mario sunshine will always be one of my most favorite Mario games (along side Mario party ds) because of course it was my first Mario game I played. Brings me back to when me and my brother would take turns playing levels even on animal crossing too. I miss it big time

The Wii is superior because it can play GameCube games and has its own games. You can use GameCube controllers (though it's wired) and you can use a Wii Remote, and sometimes even the Nunchuck if you insert it.
The most mind blowing fact is that a console with a library this good didn't sell well
