    I remember when Metroid Prime came out I waited in line at a Walmart to get it. The first time I played it I spent sooo much time looking up at the rain drops landing on the visor. It was really blowing my mind.

      Yeah the controls were a bit wonky at the time after I had gotten used to Xbox and halo since I had that first, but I was also really impressed with Metroid. I got about halfway or close to halfway through it. I still feel like I need to finish it and the trilogy really

    Agree, as many others do, that F-Zero GX it's one of the greatest futuristic arcade racing games ever made.!
    A masterpiece from the people of Amusement Vision.!
    I hope some how, the same team comes together and develop a sequel (GX2) to this beauty, or hell, i bet that the guys at Retro Studios can do a great one too.
    It's crazy that F-Zero GX reaches it's 20 anniversary next year in august 2023.!!

Now I’ve told my self all I will buy is flea market random cheap titles. Every once and a while I’ll find a first party title for cheap cause the person doesn’t know it’s worth anything. The cheapest game I got was twilight princess. I found it as I was leaving a flea market for 1 dollar. Still had the wrapper on it half way and was never opened fully in perfect condition.

      Saturn games have put it into perspective for me. Most Gamecube games are well under $100 dollars and I am personally more than okay with paying those prices.
      New PS5 and Series s/x games are $60 to $70 and most of those games are dogwater.

I play TTYD at least once a year, and it is my favorite RPG, or just game in general, to go back to and playthrough. Melee is possibly the longest running esport title of all time. I just picked up a copy of Melee yesterday, but if I didn't see Melee, I would have gotten F-Zero GX. I love F-Zero X on the N64 and GP Legend on the GBA, and GX looks like it's the ultimate F-Zero.

    I still remember the decision to go Nintendo back in 2002 while Ps2 and Xbox were doing there thing. This console was one of my most cherished moments in gaming. The collection i had was unlike no other. from Starfox to Metroid, Super monkey ball, rogue squadron to 007 Agent under the fire (4 way multiplayer) Smash bros melee, . I would say it was the last era where i could play with friends on one screen. Graphics always delivered in my opinion even if the top dogs had the best but the gap in performance wasn't that big. The GameCube had a maturity to me. Yes Nintendo was usually catered towards everyone but they really focused on the library for this thing. It had titles that were catering towards mature audiences. Metal Gear Solid T.S. Resident evil 4. Eternal darkness. Geist etc they had the perfect blend of games on this console they will EVER have and won't be replicated. Big up Gamecube 2002- 2005 (I switched to Xbox lol)

    Great video man. I tell you what I been playing my ps3 a lot lately and I found the evil within and it’s a very good game. I am finding out that I missed out on the ps3 because I never had one until about a year ago. I think I missed out. I have a game cube and I am just starting to play it more so I don’t have a favorite yet. Great video man

    Only got into the Gamecube in 2022, and what a game console it is. We play on it most nights as there's nothing on tv! F-Zero arrived yesterday.

    Eternal Darkness is a perfect illustration of the short-sightedness of the games industry. One of the greatest Survival Horror games ever made (it's up there with Silent Hill 2 and Project Zero)
    Yet 100 million gamers (at least) never got to play /experience it when it came out ..and millions upon millions since and in the years to come will never be able to play it.
    Madness! ..so many great games lost forever like this

    I keep my gamecube because I unlocked everything in Mario Kart Double Dash, Super Smash Bros Melee, and Super Mario Stirkers, and those are the best multiplayer games to have. That and I also have Metroid Prime and Twilight Princess which feel the best with a gamecube controller.

    I appreciate these reviews. I was never interested in Geist until now. Now I'll be on ebay soon looking for that and maybe Kirby. I would live if you could review every GameCube game you own in separate videos. It would definitely wake up the GameCube bug!

  • @Caolan114
    @Caolan114 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    My favorite console of all time
    No gimmicks, Just a controller
    Still looks pretty good today
    Great first party games like luigi's mansion, mario sunshine, melee
    controller that's still being used to this day on switch
    amazing third party games like sonic heroes, sims 2
    The best way to play gameboy games

    It's crazy, was a kid during the Gamecube days & always had a passing interest in Kirby's Air Ride, yet never bothered trying it.
    After seeing it here, I'm upset that I never did! It looks like a blast, and I would have loves to play it with my brothers :(

    Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door, Animal Crossing Population Growing, Super Smash Bros Melee, Pokemon Colosseum, Mario Kart Double Dash, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, Beyblades, Kirby Air Ride, and Sonic Riders are my favorites to go back to! Good ole Gamecube days

    That is a good collection man. I love my collection of gamecube games. I sold my Cube and the componant cables for an insane price awhile back in favor of the Wii backwards compatibility. With all the new technology coming that was starting to be as good or better than the componant cables I knew eventually the prices would drop. I wanted to sell everything on a high note. Now I use my Wave Bird wireless gamecube controller with the Wii in progressive scan mode on games that support it and they look great. Finding Gamecube games has become extremely hard and the good games are going for insane prices so I like to hit Garage sales and Goodwill stores for games.

    Love my GameCube. Metroid Prime is my favorite from this list. It definitely isn't underrated, but I feel like it's been somewhat lost in time as more (but lesser) Metroid games quickly followed. Nonetheless, great to see it get some love! Thanks MJR. Your content is always so fun and entertaining.

    @chrismyghostwriter ปีที่แล้ว

    I love the GameCube as well. It was the first system I ever bought on my own on launch night (got it at a Big K at midnight).
    F-Zero GX is also one of my all-time favorites! When I was in college I mastered that game. I haven't played it in years and would probably be terrible now if I tried, but I still remember the trance you have to go into in order to beat its most difficult challenges because it's so fast!
    You mentioned you think Nintendo forgot about it. I read an interview with Miyamoto who basically said the reason they have not made another F-Zero is because there is nothing else left to do that this game didn't do well already. He said if there is ever something else they can think of that would improve upon this game, they will make another. Honestly, it's hard to argue with that logic as this game was and still is amazing!

  • @TheGamerNerd025
    @TheGamerNerd025 ปีที่แล้ว

    F-Zero GX is an AMAZING game! So many good games on the GameCube. Some games I still play today are Mortal Kombat: Deception, Wave Race: Blue Storm, Super Smash Bros Melee, Godzilla Destroy All Monsters Melee, etc. Awesome video as always MJR! :) 🎮🤘

    I'm just now getting into Gamecube fans and searching my local shops. It started when my mother in law gave us her original Wii she had boxed away for years. We decided to add it to our game and toy room and so far only have a few games. I managed to find a orange first party gamecube controller and a few games we both like and could afford. A lot of the games are prices high now just because they are gamecube

    Something to note is that Star Wars: Rogue Squadron III, Rebel Strike has the entirety of the Rogue Squadron II campaign playable in a two-player mode. If you want an awesome, multiplayer Star Wars story to play on the GameCube, I highly recommend picking up a copy

    The Gamecube will ALWAYS be my favorite console. The amount of memories I shared with friends, hours I spent in each of the games I owned, and beautifully handcrafted worlds that have no similar feel to many modern games.

  • @buckeye631
    @buckeye631 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Ah the Nintendo Gamecube...the first gaming console I purchased. Such an underappreciated and underrated system. I play several Gamecube games on the Wii with its component cables because we all know how expensive the GC's component cables are.
    I still play Gamecube games such as Rogue Squadron 2, Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door, F-Zero GX, and Super Smash Bros Melee to name a few. The announcement of the Resident Evil 4 remake has me playing through the Gamecube version again.

    Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem's developer was Silicon Knights. They where 'law-suited to death' in the XB360 era. Their last game was Too Human; Which was suppose to be a 3 part series, but only the first game got made/released.

    Great video as always Jason 😊
    Well when I was growing up and a teenager my mum would buy us the latest console. My elder sister has mega drive, my brother had Sega master system, my other sister got the snes. When it was my turn consoles had become more advanced...I had a choice between xbox, PlayStation 2 or gamecube.... I chose gamecube because of zelda!
    So my favourite games are Zelda. I played twilight Princess but never owned it unfortunately (it's so expensive now but I still want it), I absolutely loved zelda wind waker that was my favourite, followed by the remastered ocarina of time.
    I do really like eternal darkness, that is great game. So clever and it's great at messing with your head.
    I also loved playing a random game called Wallace and gromit, project mayhem. It's very funny and entertaining.
    I think those are the games I would play the most now a days.
