The GameCube is such an underrated console. I absolutely loved mine. Just a basic console with no gimmicks and not once did it crash or break on me. 10/10
It's cool and all to go back now and play the games you want but trust me owning this system back in the day was pretty painful because there would be long stretches with no releases or no good releases (we're talking 3-4 games over a period of 5+ months) and those 3-4 games would be mediocre ports of games that came out on PS2 a year+ earlier. It was tough having the GC as your only modern console at the time. You really needed an Xbox or PS2 as well. Sadly I was a kid and couldn't afford to have more than one console so I had to sell mine to fund a PS2 as I just couldn't wait 6+ months each time for a good new game to come out.
Adam Solomon the only reason I bought it was because was like 15 and had no money and didn’t expect it to wow me as much as it did . Mario sunshine is imo the best Mario I have ever played
If you don't have it, definetely get Super Mario Strikers! One of my favorite games period. Also, love the GameCube! I never understood why so many people treat it like a dud amongst other Nintendo consoles. In my opinion, the GameCube might have more great games than any of them...
Radical Reggie , Would like to see your collection's too as its coming from for PS1 root perspective. Because of your PS1 focus, I commented to you in MJR's ultimate GC package recently to state that, if you also have Sony's monster first analog controller - the SCPH-1110 Analog Joystick - that, with a PS-to-GC controller adapter, that there were a lot of compatible GC games, giving you finer and intuitive control and, for titles released for the PS2 that no longer supported the Analog Joystick, the GC versions did. I'd be very interested in a video collaboration that perused and highlighted titles enhanced by the SCPH-1110 across yours, MJR's and any other collaborators' GC library ( I remember seeing John Hancock's GC vid recently... ) .
sonic gamecube games were all pretty GOOD... u hear this asshole say idk what sonic adventures battle 2 is??? hez such a fake Nintendo collector n has no idea wtf hes talking about half the time... he don't know what sonic game is n he said he dont know what harvest moon is n how it got n hos collection LMAO hes PATHETIC
ItsJust TheFantes' I love how you are calling him a pathetic fake Nintendo collector for not knowing stuff about games that weren’t even made by Nintendo
People annoyed & #triggered I haven't played every GameCube game in my collection. I used to find a lot of GameCube games at garage sales for $5 or less, which is why I have games that I either haven't yet played or I plan to in the future. #Reasons
Spintechfilms I agree. I also like that they took chances with gameplay in some of their games (ie Double Dash, Wind Waker, Metroid Prime, Super Mario Sunshine, Luigi’s Mansion,etc.)
@star Yeah, I guess the main difference is that the Switch's main gimmick (being a home console that you can also take anywhere with you) actually has a practical use and it doesn't feel weird or shoehorned in. It's not like "Hey here's a second screen on the controller that 3rd party devs can implement poorly" or "Let's put useless waggle controls into games that do nothing other than copy a generic button press" like it has been in the past sometimes. It's a huge step in the right direction for sure.
the xb1 is a massive console to carry or put in a backpack;i have the basic brick model.and its a pain and i could only imagine that a handle would ad weight to it lol,the ps4 would be nice to see a handle on
This should have been how the reveal went. "And as you can see here, the gamecube has a handle for easer portability. No longer will you need to drag your console back and forth in a cardboard box, instead you get to carry it with this neat ans convienient little handle. But be careful not to get mugged, because everyone wants a new Nintendo Gamecube"
Rogue Leader is amazing. It's amazing with HD upgrades in the Dolphin Emulator! That game alone was what made me choose the Gamecube over the PS2 and Xbox One.
To me the Gamecube and the very similar Dreamcast have the most character out of any of the consoles. Powerful systems, very distinct designs, and the games are immediately recognizable. Gives them both this feeling of being way ahead of their time.
@@brosbuffalos6240 no bud I'm actually pretty damn smart...it is very overrated and terribly broken. Not the worst smash(that's brawl)...I get its super popular but most people around here dont care about it anymore.
I’d actually recommend Call of Duty 2 big red one, it was specifically made for last gen systems never getting a PC release. Out of the entire call of duty series it’s in my top 5. And interesting bit is that they got several actors from HBO’s Band of Brothers to do the voices. It’s such a obscure title in a well know franchise that barely anyone talks about today
Same here! I can’t believe how you never hear about this game, but it was brilliantly done. Many hours were spent on my copy and I don’t even know how many times I’ve replayed it.
I picked up Big Red One earlier this year for the first time and I'm really enjoying it. And this is coming from someone who doesn't really like FPS games and barely plays them. Just shows what a solid game it is.
@@shaquayquay8406 i beat it on ps2 because i was that poor brown kid still on ps2/Gamecube in 2006 lol i dont regret it though i played the gamecube soo much!
caffeineadvocate I've been playing TOS PC edition with my cousin, good game but not great. Keep in mind its my first time trying it out and i think its abit overrated.
I had TOS back in the day. Great game but took a little long to complete for my liking. Ended up trading it in at EB, as I was 100% certain that I'd never play it again. In recent years, not only do I want to play it again, but it is something of a collector's item.
Summoner 2 - it was only released for Gamecube & PS2 and its a absolute hidden gem. I recall the intro scene where you play on the deck of a rocking boat really impressed me back then. The graphics look really dated today, but its has a Huge world to explore (that you unlock after a few hours), lots of companions to choose from, detailed armor/weapon stats etc. A early "Elder scrools game" you could say.
Honestly such a nostalgic system for me, awesome to see it getting more love recently! Would definitely recommend the Mario Party games, Super Monkey Ball, Pokemon Colosseum + Pokemon Channel!
I just love the gamecube, at the time my eyes were all on the playstation but recently started playing my old gamecube and love it to bits. For sure going to expand my collection
Killer 7 is one of my all-time favourites. It's very difficult to describe it's appeal. If you were lucky, the first releases came with a promotional tee-shirt and carrier bag. They also produced a series of comics after it's release. A very cool game from a very cool developer (Suda51)
I love my GameCube. After the novelty of the Wii wore off for me, I went back to my black little lunch box. I still play it today with a Carby attached to my Sony 70". I am mainly collecting as many 480p 16:9 games that offer great game play. There are quite a few. I have two wavebirds and I love those controllers as well. :) At 53 years of age I have had so many different consoles... The fact that I still own and play the GameCube says a lot about the machine :)
Best intro music in TH-cam history! Thanks for the GameCube game video MJR! Unfortunately, I never owned one and only played a few games via friends! Definitely interested!
5:36 Wave Race 64 feels like it takes place in an alternate idyllic reality devoid of people (except for the racers) with a calm soundtrack that matches, while Blue Storm has that hard hitting 'tude that you find in the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater games it was competing against in the extreme sports genre.
I have 89 GameCube games, but I know you definitely have more than me. I wish I had a gaming room like yours. You're one of the reasons I started collecting video games. Been collecting for two years already ever since I was 17. Edit: Bruh i'm stupid, this video is 1 year old. How many GameCube games do you have now btw?
Skipp316 re4 blew my mind as well, it’s the game that really made me a fan of the resident evil series. Ive since went back and played all the important ones except for code Veronica I still have yet to play that one all the way through. I think it’s the only one I’ve played so far that I don’t like all that much other than re6
The Most Underrated GameCube Game To Ever Exist: Pokémon XD: Gale Of Darkness.... that game was way ahead of its time. Along with Spongebob: Battle For Bikini Bottom
I really like the on foot stuff in rebel strike. Always have. As a kid liked it even more than being in the aircraft. As an adult dealing with firing the mounted cannon is a real pain.
MJR, you made many amazing and cool videos, it's just so fun to explore your earlier work. This is one of my favorite videos you did. Thank you for everything you do.
There's a great story behind it. Check out reference 3 on the wiki page (the archived preview from computer games magazine). It was conceived by a drunken producer as a giant middle finger to stupid licensed games. There's also a big box pc version, btw.
chibi robo rocks! there is also a wal-mart exclusive for the nds - "Chibi Robo - Park Patrol" (no lawsuit from Tony Ngo? ) where you're supposed to clean up a park and grow flowers and stuff. it is very good. i play it through at least once a year.
I'm so glad you talked about Custom Robo! It's gotta be one of my favorite GameCube games ever! I was going to ask if you knew about it if you didn't talk about it. It deserves so much more attention!
im super stoked :D bought a Region switch modded Orange spice Gamecube the other day CIB with the controllers and the Gameboy player/cd, I cannot wait to relive my childhood by playing many of the games you listed and then some.
Thanks for the vid in hospital at the moment getting tendons fixed in my left arm, no gaming for me for 6weeks+. Really enjoyed the Zelda four swords on the system with the game boy advance adapters.! But I think Mario sunshine my favourite
I find this to be a good channel for retro collecting. It's nice to know what games I've been missing out on for so long and if they are worth my time.
Skies of Arcadia: Legends is probably the only one that's missing. Surprisingly expensive as it's a rebalanced version of the Dreamcast game. There's also a Baten Kaitos prequel.
Harvest moon isn't for everyone but it's additive and a very well thought out story line I LOVE it. I have both and have spent countless hours on them. Highly suggest playing it!
I was pretty pumped to see you finally mention Custom Robo in a Gamecube video. I had always wondered if you just didn't particularly enjoy it or had somehow not known about it. Super underrated game and still holds up today in my opinion.
metal jesus i cannot believe you dont have/didnt show zelda four swords adventures on gamecube if you like zelda games you will LOVE this .its a wonderful game
Hey Metal Jesus! First of all, I just have to say that I´m a huge, huge fan. I just can´t imagine a day passing without watching some videos off of your TH-cam channel. Thanks for all the awesomeness and console fandom materialized in these cool videos! Being a huge Nintendo fan myself, (I consider myself a Nintendo collector and player mainly, but I have in recent years started collecting for other consoles pre-1995 as well; 3DO, Jaguar, Sega system etc.) I have to say that I feel the reason why you don´t like "Wave Race: Bue Storm" as much as the first Wave Race game is possibly exactly why I also don´t like Blue Storm as much. When "Wave Race 64" first came out it was totally revolutionary grahically. All the reasearch Nintendo put down into creating totally atuhentic waves and water physics (I read a lot about that before it came out) made it such an unreal WOW experience for us gamers coming from the Super Nintendo, Genesis, PlayStation etc. that it just made a true benchmark in gaming history to be honest. And even if Blue Storm looks better, has higher resolution etc. it´s not as revolutionary as the first one was on the N64. And for the very same reson I also prefer "Super Mario 64" on the N64 over "Super Mario Sunshine" on the GC. While a great game, Sunshine just didn´t WOW me as much as the first time I witnessed "Super Mario 64". I literally lost my mind when I saw Mario jump inside that first underwater ship. I think those fist ever 5 seconds of witnessing the grandeur of "SM64" is forever burnt into my brain. It´s not just about graphics though. It´s about the whole experience. Gameplay, controls, etc. And there can only be one first true 3D console with the first analogue stick ever. And that is undoubtedly the N64. Thus giving us a totally new experience with games such as "Wave Race 64". So these were my 5 cents. :)
This is the last system they tried to keep up spec wise. But didn't go full force. And then they went out the box full time. God bless them. Hope third parties get their shit together for switch.
I feel the same. The GC was Nintendo's last system when they gave an actual fuck about staying competitive with the console market. Their last two (and current) systems hardware-wise have been a total joke. Sales figures aside, if they can't have the same 1:1 third-party ports as MS and Sony can... their systems are only good for the first-parties. That's not good enough.
MetallicBlade lol The most powerful console doesn't get all the games. PS1, PS2, Xbox 360 (it was super close, though), and Wii were all the weakest systems in their generation, and they got lots of 3rd party games lol
"Tried to keep up" is a little bit of an understatement though. It walks over the Ps2 and arguably has a more powerful cpu over Xbox (intensive 60 fps games like F-Zero GX). Nintendo finally produces an awesome competent machine w/o hardware bottlenecks unlike Snes and N64 and no one buys it, rip lol.
You should try to get a copy of Odama, that's definitely one of the most unique games on the system. A combination of voice controlled real time strategy and pinball from the creator of the Dreamcast classic Seaman
Space Raiders did get a PS2 release in Europe called Space Invaders: Invasion Day. It's a fun take on the original and I'm glad it's part of my collection. Thanks for inspiring me to start my own channel - you're a star!
Seeing the master quest disc made me remember I had a disc that also had Majora's Mask on it. It was a promotional disk for the Gamecube. I think you got it if you pre-ordered the Gamecube. It comes with A link to the Past, Adventures of Link, Ocarina of Time, and Majora's Mask. I believe the Master Quest disc was a promotion for pre-ordering Wind Waker. It contains a demo of WW and the 4-pack disc contains a bunch of trailers for other games.
Great games you have there, 3 games I highly recommend picking up: - Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles (Giant Crabs? YES!) - R: Racing Evolution (a blend of arcade and sim-style racing with soap opera cutscenes) - Simpson's Hit & Run (Grand Theft Auto in the Simpson's world with great writing and cutscenes) If you have only played the 1st Burnout on Gamecube, I would also recommend getting the 2nd, it was the first to really exploit the crash mode. Honorable mentions: Beyond Good & Evil (best water), P.N.03 (play it like a SHMUP to understand it), Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy (hidden gem of a 3rd party game, careful of game breaking bugs though)
Have very fond memories of playing my friend’s Gamecube at university 15 years ago. Loved Wave Racer - our whole house used to take great pleasure in beating each other’s best times. Never played the N65 version though. Also, loved Mario Sunshine too - still don’t understand why some don’t rate it so much.
Metal Arms Glitch in the System, Beyond Good & Evil, Resident Evil 4, Zeldas, Sphinx. Glad you mentioned 007 EON and Haunted Mansion! Also, the first Harry Potter game (long load times but really fun), and some of the Tak games.
This was my collection when I was little, then my mom made me sell them all ;-; but the thing is, ima huge collector now and I sold them when I was like 9.
Darkened Skye is a game produced by Skittles. The exploration is a lot like "Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword" with weird forks in the road. The graphics are like Skyrim had a baby with "Time Splitters". Also, the voice acting is like "Time Splitters".
BEACH BANDITS?!!!!!! That's Rocket Power my dude! Awesome prime-era nickelodeon cartoon. Unforgivable..... ;) But seriously, love the channel and getting to watch you hardcore hobbyists delve into you're collections. Great stuff!
Born in the early 80s and I can honestly say the Gamecube was easily my favorite console of all time, PSO epI&II, Ikaruga, XIII, Smash Bros Melee, Wind Waker, Pikmin, Animal Crossing, the list goes on. Also, the Gameboy player attachment was awesome!
Nice video! Entitled whiners are just jealous of you Metal Jesus! most collectors don't have the time to play everything they pick up right away. I have so many games that I've bought and haven't really played yet. In good time, all in good time.
That's the conundrum of life itself. When you are a kid you have a lot of free time to play but not a lot of money to spend on games. When you are an adult you have a lot more money but a lot less time...
There are a few systems that I wish I didnt ignore back in the day, and GameCube is one of them. I mostly played my PS2 or my roommates' xbox. However, I have been playing GameCube more and more. I got my action replay disk and SD card memory card adapter working, so I can use Gameboy Interface for Gameboy Player games, I can also play GameCube game backups that way, I also figured out that 8bitdo's SNES receiver works with Ralphnet's SNES->GameCube adapter, so I can use a Bluetooth SNES controller for Gameboy Player games. Now I just need a hdmi adapter (waiting for Badass Console's version) and I am all set for GameCube greatness.
Battalion Wars! So good and so overlooked! Metal Arms: Glitch In the System was another massively overlooked masterpiece! (It was on other consoles as well though, never got the love it deserved!)
The GameCube is such an underrated console. I absolutely loved mine. Just a basic console with no gimmicks and not once did it crash or break on me. 10/10
Nintendo Wii GameCube compatible is nice too

Battalion wars looks awesome.
I got bored with it. It is NOT easy.
I would get Scooby Doo Night of a 1000 frights. It basically takes the really old episodes of Scooby doo and makes them in to one decent 3d game.
I played that game on the PS2. Definitely cool for us old school Scooby fans!! Thanks for reminding me.
It is fun, but found a few sections are stupid-hard :-D for a kids game. Looking forward to playing through all the Doos though.
I got that on PS2 its awesome
Now I am going to look for that now because I loved to play it when I was younger on my ps2 but the disk is really scratched up
yeah the ps2 version of that was awesome!!

I have 89 GameCube games, but I know you definitely have more than me. I wish I had a gaming room like yours. You're one of the reasons I started collecting video games. Been collecting for two years already ever since I was 17.
Edit: Bruh i'm stupid, this video is 1 year old. How many GameCube games do you have now btw?
Easily my favourite of that generation! Wind Waker is my fave Zelda ever and when Resident Evil 4 came out as an exclusive (at the time) blew my mind!
Skipp316 re4 blew my mind as well, it’s the game that really made me a fan of the resident evil series. Ive since went back and played all the important ones except for code Veronica I still have yet to play that one all the way through. I think it’s the only one I’ve played so far that I don’t like all that much other than re6
Re4 is extra ordinary
4 games that should be in your collection:
- Simpsons: Hit and Run
- Gladius
- Sega Soccer Slam
- NHL Hitz 2003
The Most Underrated GameCube Game To Ever Exist: Pokémon XD: Gale Of Darkness.... that game was way ahead of its time. Along with Spongebob: Battle For Bikini Bottom
I really like the on foot stuff in rebel strike. Always have. As a kid liked it even more than being in the aircraft. As an adult dealing with firing the mounted cannon is a real pain.
Damn. I just freakin' love the gamecube, even though I was late to the console XD
You should add Super Monkey Ball 1 and 2 to the collection. These were great games for the gamecube.
Love the Gamecube. It's honestly one of the best Nintendo systems imho. Always fun to collect for too!
MJR, you made many amazing and cool videos, it's just so fun to explore your earlier work. This is one of my favorite videos you did. Thank you for everything you do.
Darkened Skye is actually a secret Skittles game. Dead ass serious. The candy. You use Skittles to cast magic.
SERIOUSLY?!?! HAHAHA. I'll definitely have to try it then
Yup, you'd never be able to tell by looking at it. It's something truly bizarre.
There's a great story behind it. Check out reference 3 on the wiki page (the archived preview from computer games magazine). It was conceived by a drunken producer as a giant middle finger to stupid licensed games. There's also a big box pc version, btw.
chibi robo rocks! there is also a wal-mart exclusive for the nds - "Chibi Robo - Park Patrol" (no lawsuit from Tony Ngo? ) where you're supposed to clean up a park and grow flowers and stuff. it is very good. i play it through at least once a year.
I am surprised you don’t have super smash brothers melee
I'm so glad you talked about Custom Robo! It's gotta be one of my favorite GameCube games ever! I was going to ask if you knew about it if you didn't talk about it. It deserves so much more attention!
you been on a gamecube binge lately, great video!
I know. Love it!
I love GC as well.
Congratulations for your collection.
Top 2 games for me were: Mario Sunshine and Zelda Wind Waker
We Love your videos!
Rock on metal Jesus. Rock on! 🤘
im super stoked :D bought a Region switch modded Orange spice Gamecube the other day CIB with the controllers and the Gameboy player/cd, I cannot wait to relive my childhood by playing many of the games you listed and then some.
Thanks for the vid in hospital at the moment getting tendons fixed in my left arm, no gaming for me for 6weeks+. Really enjoyed the Zelda four swords on the system with the game boy advance adapters.! But I think Mario sunshine my favourite
Gamecube was so underrated it was my favorite of that generation
I am a simple man - I see GameCube, I press like and subscribe :)
I find this to be a good channel for retro collecting. It's nice to know what games I've been missing out on for so long and if they are worth my time.
Skies of Arcadia: Legends is probably the only one that's missing. Surprisingly expensive as it's a rebalanced version of the Dreamcast game. There's also a Baten Kaitos prequel.
Harvest moon isn't for everyone but it's additive and a very well thought out story line I LOVE it. I have both and have spent countless hours on them. Highly suggest playing it!
Baldurs Gate Dark Alliance is officially licensed by the NFL?? lol
Nate B i was looking for this exact comment, thanks
That game ended soo quick I was disappointed
Final boss is John Madden’s turducken. Common knowledge.
If you go into your inventory and drop a helmet you get a 15yd penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct.
I was pretty pumped to see you finally mention Custom Robo in a Gamecube video. I had always wondered if you just didn't particularly enjoy it or had somehow not known about it. Super underrated game and still holds up today in my opinion.
metal jesus i cannot believe you dont have/didnt show zelda four swords adventures on gamecube if you like zelda games you will LOVE this
.its a wonderful game
Hey Metal Jesus! First of all, I just have to say that I´m a huge, huge fan. I just can´t imagine a day passing without watching some videos off of your TH-cam channel. Thanks for all the awesomeness and console fandom materialized in these cool videos! Being a huge Nintendo fan myself, (I consider myself a Nintendo collector and player mainly, but I have in recent years started collecting for other consoles pre-1995 as well; 3DO, Jaguar, Sega system etc.) I have to say that I feel the reason why you don´t like "Wave Race: Bue Storm" as much as the first Wave Race game is possibly exactly why I also don´t like Blue Storm as much. When "Wave Race 64" first came out it was totally revolutionary grahically. All the reasearch Nintendo put down into creating totally atuhentic waves and water physics (I read a lot about that before it came out) made it such an unreal WOW experience for us gamers coming from the Super Nintendo, Genesis, PlayStation etc. that it just made a true benchmark in gaming history to be honest. And even if Blue Storm looks better, has higher resolution etc. it´s not as revolutionary as the first one was on the N64. And for the very same reson I also prefer "Super Mario 64" on the N64 over "Super Mario Sunshine" on the GC. While a great game, Sunshine just didn´t WOW me as much as the first time I witnessed "Super Mario 64". I literally lost my mind when I saw Mario jump inside that first underwater ship. I think those fist ever 5 seconds of witnessing the grandeur of "SM64" is forever burnt into my brain. It´s not just about graphics though. It´s about the whole experience. Gameplay, controls, etc. And there can only be one first true 3D console with the first analogue stick ever. And that is undoubtedly the N64. Thus giving us a totally new experience with games such as "Wave Race 64". So these were my 5 cents. :)
Hold on a moment: how does a game "end up" in your collection :P ?
Metal Jesus has his game room set up very nicely. I like the way he has everything organized.
This is the last system they tried to keep up spec wise. But didn't go full force. And then they went out the box full time. God bless them. Hope third parties get their shit together for switch.
I feel the same. The GC was Nintendo's last system when they gave an actual fuck about staying competitive with the console market. Their last two (and current) systems hardware-wise have been a total joke. Sales figures aside, if they can't have the same 1:1 third-party ports as MS and Sony can... their systems are only good for the first-parties. That's not good enough.
This was also the last Nintendo console before Switch where third parties (the good ones, NOT the Wii ones) even bothered to support Nintendo.
MetallicBlade
lol
The most powerful console doesn't get all the games. PS1, PS2, Xbox 360 (it was super close, though), and Wii were all the weakest systems in their generation, and they got lots of 3rd party games lol
MetallicBlade This Guy is a complete joke
"Tried to keep up" is a little bit of an understatement though. It walks over the Ps2 and arguably has a more powerful cpu over Xbox (intensive 60 fps games like F-Zero GX). Nintendo finally produces an awesome competent machine w/o hardware bottlenecks unlike Snes and N64 and no one buys it, rip lol.
You should try to get a copy of Odama, that's definitely one of the most unique games on the system. A combination of voice controlled real time strategy and pinball from the creator of the Dreamcast classic Seaman
MetalJesus rockin a CRT monitor and TV in 2018. Dude is legit.
It's the only way to play these old games!
There's no better way to play these older systems... I also have a CRT television and it's awesome
Pros of being a melee player, I never got rid of my gamecube + CRT, which comes in handy for retro consoles
Space Raiders did get a PS2 release in Europe called Space Invaders: Invasion Day. It's a fun take on the original and I'm glad it's part of my collection. Thanks for inspiring me to start my own channel - you're a star!
That Switch sign 😍

Shrek 2 is really a Hidden Gem on the GameCube, I bought it as a joke, but it’s actually a really fun 3D platformer, that supports up to 4 players
I have to ask... WHERE'S MELEE?
Seeing the master quest disc made me remember I had a disc that also had Majora's Mask on it. It was a promotional disk for the Gamecube. I think you got it if you pre-ordered the Gamecube. It comes with A link to the Past, Adventures of Link, Ocarina of Time, and Majora's Mask. I believe the Master Quest disc was a promotion for pre-ordering Wind Waker. It contains a demo of WW and the 4-pack disc contains a bunch of trailers for other games.
The Zelda Collector's Edition, even though it's expensive
Great games you have there, 3 games I highly recommend picking up:
- Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles (Giant Crabs? YES!)
- R: Racing Evolution (a blend of arcade and sim-style racing with soap opera cutscenes)
- Simpson's Hit & Run (Grand Theft Auto in the Simpson's world with great writing and cutscenes)
If you have only played the 1st Burnout on Gamecube, I would also recommend getting the 2nd, it was the first to really exploit the crash mode. Honorable mentions: Beyond Good & Evil (best water), P.N.03 (play it like a SHMUP to understand it), Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy (hidden gem of a 3rd party game, careful of game breaking bugs though)
no super smash bros?
Xzar931 yeah, where is melee???
That's a commen gem
eliandfern1 it's the most sold game on the game cube it's like a legend also you call it common gem even when it cost 55 dollars used
in chicago i find them for 30$ theres stores called. back in the game. there related to play n trade
Have very fond memories of playing my friend’s Gamecube at university 15 years ago. Loved Wave Racer - our whole house used to take great pleasure in beating each other’s best times. Never played the N65 version though. Also, loved Mario Sunshine too - still don’t understand why some don’t rate it so much.
Medal of Honor went downhill because the talent left and founded Infinity Ward.
Thank you for reminding me of Batallion Wars! Been wanting get it on the cube for years. Played the second one alot on Wii.
I think Wood from BeatEmUps sent those TY platformer games
Metal Arms Glitch in the System, Beyond Good & Evil, Resident Evil 4, Zeldas, Sphinx. Glad you mentioned 007 EON and Haunted Mansion! Also, the first Harry Potter game (long load times but really fun), and some of the Tak games.
This was my collection when I was little, then my mom made me sell them all ;-; but the thing is, ima huge collector now and I sold them when I was like 9.
Darkened Skye is a game produced by Skittles. The exploration is a lot like "Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword" with weird forks in the road. The graphics are like Skyrim had a baby with "Time Splitters". Also, the voice acting is like "Time Splitters".
God damn I love your content dude. Excellent. Just excellent. Thankyou!
BEACH BANDITS?!!!!!! That's Rocket Power my dude! Awesome prime-era nickelodeon cartoon. Unforgivable..... ;)
But seriously, love the channel and getting to watch you hardcore hobbyists delve into you're collections. Great stuff!
BATTALION WARS!!!!!!
So good, right?
MetalJesusRocks completely blown away at the time when it came out, sadly I never got to check out BATTALION WARS 2 😢
Touch of Chaos you should definitely check out BW2. It's the better BW game.
The game had a great multiplayer sadly the sequel on Wii stripped that feature :(
Robert Higgins I needs to lol
Born in the early 80s and I can honestly say the Gamecube was easily my favorite console of all time, PSO epI&II, Ikaruga, XIII, Smash Bros Melee, Wind Waker, Pikmin, Animal Crossing, the list goes on. Also, the Gameboy player attachment was awesome!
3:19 "you guys know I'm a Metroid fan"
we... we don't
Would love more Gamecube videos like this. Great video as always Jason.
Nice video! Entitled whiners are just jealous of you Metal Jesus! most collectors don't have the time to play everything they pick up right away. I have so many games that I've bought and haven't really played yet. In good time, all in good time.
That's the conundrum of life itself. When you are a kid you have a lot of free time to play but not a lot of money to spend on games. When you are an adult you have a lot more money but a lot less time...
There are a few systems that I wish I didnt ignore back in the day, and GameCube is one of them. I mostly played my PS2 or my roommates' xbox. However, I have been playing GameCube more and more. I got my action replay disk and SD card memory card adapter working, so I can use Gameboy Interface for Gameboy Player games, I can also play GameCube game backups that way, I also figured out that 8bitdo's SNES receiver works with Ralphnet's SNES->GameCube adapter, so I can use a Bluetooth SNES controller for Gameboy Player games. Now I just need a hdmi adapter (waiting for Badass Console's version) and I am all set for GameCube greatness.
Baldur´s gate with an official NFL hologram is the rare one
I hate when I go to change a case and realize I chose a case with that sticky lol
I actually gasped when you brought up Custom Robo. I love that game; it's one of the most underrated games on that console!
Turok evolution for the GameCube was very good! And still has pretty good graphics. And Conker live and reloaded was good!
Battalion Wars! So good and so overlooked! Metal Arms: Glitch In the System was another massively overlooked masterpiece! (It was on other consoles as well though, never got the love it deserved!)
