- In the not-so-distant past, we produced a video called “10 Best-Reviewed PS2, Xbox and Dreamcast RPGs”, and many of you spotted the fact that the other console from the sixth generation, Nintendo's GameCube, was missing. Well, thanks to some controversial review scores that we were in no way responsible for, the GameCube didn't have any RPGs that broke into that generation's top ten. Shocking, I know. Undeterred by this outrage, many commenters suggested a list that focused on the best-reviewed GameCube RPGs, if only to give the console its moment in the TripleJump limelight. Well, we thought we'd get it done, because we're proactive like that. Here are the 10 Best-Reviewed GameCube RPGs.

WE NEED A SKIES OF ARCADIA FULL-REMASTER ALREADY!
NO WE DON'T. WE NEED A SEQUEL!
@@SupaFry99 WHT NOT BOTH?
Or at least a full remake
Skies of Arcadia is the most underrated RPG of all time
Kinda surprised that Fire Emblem: Path Of Radiance was not included.
Too expensive
@@maxdishaw yes, it is very expensive... but how is it possible that he missed that game??... it's sitting at 85% which would put it #3 on this list.
@maxdishaw good thing the internet exists
Its not an RPG
Skies of Arcadia is a truly great game. If you allow yourself a few initial hours to become engrossed in the story, it will become one of your most favorite games.
Glad you made this list, you don't want to anger us gamecube fans, our console has a handle for a reason ;)
Yep. Gamecube was such a beloved system and still to this day the iconic controller is still being used.
The handle is so you can carry it limp-wristed like a purse as you skip down the street.
I only had a GameCube during the 6th generation & could only afford 1-2 new games per year back then. So, I missed a lot of greats of the era and often am a little sad after watching these kinds of lists. So, I'm delighted to find that 3(!) of my old games here - Baten Kaitos (stoked for the Switch version!!!), Crystal Chronicles, & Phantasy Star. Now, to dig out my Wii and GameCube controllers and revisit these gems :)
Skies of Arcadia needs a remaster/remake/sequel.... or at the very least a re-release on a store somewhere to play legally!
1:01 Baldur's Gate: dark alliance 2:12 Harvest moon: A wonderful life 3:23 Baten Kaitos: eternal wings and the lost ocean
4:31 final fantasy: crystal chronicles 5:39 X-men legends 7:59 Skies Arcadia legends
9:10 Phantasy star online episodes I & II 10:20 Tales of Symphonia 11:33 paper mario ttyd
PSO is like one of my favorite games of all time.
I hope someday to play paper Mario the thousand Year door again. I haven't played that game in a decade. It's an incredible game! I remember actually owning a final fantasy Crystal Chronicles but for some reason I never played it. Would that game have been possible to play in single player kind of like how the Legend of Zelda four swords adventure you could just do single player on?
emulators! I just got back into emulating myself and hitting all the old games i grew up with!
You guys make great videos. Thanks
Absolutely!
Skies of Arcadia for gamecube is crazy expensive. Wish they'd remaster it or something. Played the demo on dreamcast when I was a kid and always wanted to try the full game.
That's what emulators are for ;)
GameCube was a lot of fun,we need a remaster of Eternal Darkness👍👍
For about 20 years I have been chasing the Skies of Arcadia dragon, trying to find a JRPG that comes even comes close to how perfect that game is.
Have you tried tales of symphonia?
@@ichigo199 yes! I must admit I was enjoying it but I stopped to play Final Fantasy VII remake and never went back. Thought it was pretty good although the combat hasn't aged well in my opinion.
To anyone who is wondering just how the Game Cube had such low scores for its RPGs, especially Skies of Arcadia Legends which was an improvement in every way _but one_ to the Dreamcast original, remember:
Game Urinalists hated the Game Cube and scored all 3rd party games 10 points lower as punishment
Game what?
This is basically half of the GameCube's RPG library. Could be worse, the N64 barely has enough for a top 5.
I don’t think they even have enough for a top 5, I can only think of paper Mario, ogre battle 64 and quest 64
@@bencritterson640 There's a couple others, I think one is Japanese exclusive. It's a VERY slim list.
I never had a chance to truly enjoy Skies of Arcadia. I wish I played that back in the day. Paper TTYD is awesome.
Always fascinates me how few comments there are on your videos. Only thing with less comments are the video game music channels, since you only listen to them.
Phantasy Star Online Episodes I+II should be remade and released for Switch. Monster Hunter proved it could easily work. Just hope they don’t ruin it with Microtransactions like PSO 2 on Xbox 😒
Or ruin it like they did in other ways....Release it to the U.S. 8 years late, then turn it into a new game 1 year later. What were they thinking?
Wow, the official reviews of the Gamecube RPGs are almost all lower than where they ought to be, aren't they? The one that really baffles me is Skies Of Arcadia. How can the original get a 93% and then the Gamecube release which improves things gets a lower score? It's still a good game. So bizarre.
What else is bizarre is including Harvest Moon on this list. I'd call that a farming sim game (or a Harvesting game as I like to call them, because it sounds way, way cooler) and not an RPG. Fire Emblem should probably take its place.
I've been told the GC release of Skies screwed up the music.
Oh really? I haven't played it yet, so I didn't know. Still...there are more upsides than downsides.
X-Men legends 2 also had unlockable characters. Iron Man was playable when you found his armor in a pyramid for him. Too bad the devs made Nintendo mad with their demo on PS2 hardware otherwise Link & Samus would have been playable characters
While the Gamecube is no match for the ps2 from an RPG point of view, I do believe Tales of Symphonia would make a top ten list of best RPGs from its generation
Great list. I was wondering how you would get 10 RPGs, but stretching the definition to include farming sims and the X-Men Legends games meant an opportunity to give these games some needed attention. I would also say the Fantastic 4 game which was done in the style of the latter was also a good time, even if it didn't place on this list.
IMO Skies of Arcadia Legends is a great game, but even with the random encounter rate reduction, it's still way too high. Battles take ages thanks to the beautiful animations... It's unfortunate you can't streamline it even more really. It has unfortunately meant I haven't managed to bring myself to finish the game yet...
If only GameCube games weren't so expensive lmao
emulation
@@mattalan6618 What you're suggesting isn't emulation, it's piracy which isn't the same.
You can, but then you have to mod your hardware or play on a PC with varied results.
Maybe they like to collect them, I do.
@@BestGirlsBiggestFan i dont. thats y i use emulators on my PC
@@mattalan6618 Emulators ought to be banned!

Baten Kaitos is one of the most beautiful games ever made. Such a fantastic ride!
I've been playing phantasy star online off and on for over 20 years now, it's a great game that gets very little acknowledgement now. Episode 1 & 2 were a fantastic upgrade to the original Dreamcast game (there were two versions) and that takes of Symphonia remastered release is far from perfect btw. Not sure why you didn't mention that, as it doesn't run anywhere near as well as the PS3 collection. I know, I've played it
I can’t wait to get the remake of Harvest Moon A Wonderful Life
Am sad that its getting a ps5 release but not a ps4
That’s a shame ☹️
all baldurs gate are awesome.
I NEVER liked the harvest moon series (but i know those are good)
Baten Kaitos was a solid game i do not liked the cards system but it was a good game
The Crystal Chronicles are fun to play (played them all and a few in MP mode) , its a very nice adventure saga of games (specially DS ones)
the xmen games are sooooooooo good (specially coop) but im not sure if RPG is the right genere
Skies of arcadia is one of the best rpg games i ever played, it's FANTASTIC in every way! (didnt played the gc version but the DC version)
tales of (every single one) are also very good rpg's
paper mario is also an amazing game
I absolutely love tales of symphonia but I hate what they did with the remaster. Seriously, if you want to play it today, buy the steam version. It cost me like 5 euros on sale and even a potato pc can run it.
I just remembered I have a game cube in my closet and some games. Gonna go look, hopefully some good games. I could have sworn I gave them all to my brother.
Oh yeah, here we go, Ben Potter time!!
Poor Gamecube The Black Sheep Of The 2000's gaming scene and I was a PS2 guy
Should've asked your parents for a GameCube too. Could've helped increase GameCube's sales back then.
Pls have timestamps in your videos guys
I would generally dismiss relying on Metacritic for these kinds of lists. One of the big reasons why there were so few Gamecube games above 90 on Metacritic is because it was the GAMECUBE. Nintendo should have doubled down on it and made a bigger effort to market it while it was around, because despite its pint-size form and supposedly looking like a 'lunchbox', it was a much stronger machine than people were willing to give it credit for.
The only rpg I owned on gamecube was final fantasy crystal chronicles. I did love it though.
Skies of Arcadia is one of my alltime rpg gems, own the original on Dreamcast since release.
In my opinion Rouge galaxy from PS2 was a kind of successor in spirit 🤔
Ben is the lovechild of Rik Mayall and Harry Potter.
paper mario and mario and luigi games are my favourite of all the rpg games of all time
X-Men Legends 2 on the GC had online play?!??! A minor oversight, on an otherwise solid list :)
Started playing fire emblem path of radiance and its really good. Idk how it didnt make it
PSO No.1 , Next
5:42 today is going to be a good day.
No Pokémon colosseum?
Where are Pokémon Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness???
For Harvest Moon on Gamecube i have just one thing to say: Don't grow crops, instead turn them into seeds and you will never have any problems to achieve the goals. I really liked it though and it was the last title of this franchise I got into.
I'll show up to protest for the seven of us who care about Gladius.
Tales of Symphonia and Paper Mario are still the best games from Gamecube.
Could also be named the 10 gamecube rpgs
If tales of symphonia ain’t on this list I lay the smack down on triple jump HQ.
They are safe…for now.
@@Kohaku233 they’d lay the smack down on me.
No zeldas?
you seriously need to re-edit this video... #3 should be Fire Emblem - Path Of Radiance... but it's not even listed here??
Shame Batem Kaitos Origins couldn't make the list. The game came out months before the Wii and is better Baiten Kaitos.
Marcus must be stopped
My favorite Baten Kaitos Origins is not on this list.
Better be tales in this fkn review
Um...in what world is Harvest Moon an RPG but not Fire Emblem
and I'm guessing the GBA is just irrelevant huh?
No Fire Emblem wtf it’s the best one! Lol
No Fire Emblem…
Eternal Darkness: Sanity's requiem doesn't qualify as an RPG?
