- The Nintendo GameCube was released in 2001 and was considered a failure with only 20 million units sold. We revisit the Nintendo GameCube, look at some of its innovations, perform some mods to the device to open up some cool new features, and show you what makes the Nintendo GameCube still awesome in 2019.

What a great ending for 2018 :-) Thank you

Yes, now i can get drunk and just wait for the clock to hit 13..fck im already drunk. Lol
The pleasures of sin last for only a season, and then comes destruction. Christ is the only one who can fill the void in your life!Jesus is the only way to Heaven according to John 14:6. All have sinned and so all fall short to God's perfect standard, that's why Christ was sent to die in our place! Be grateful and accept Him as your Lord and Savior!
What a prick
i just pulled my gamecube out after 10 years sitting
“The system and games are relatively cheap to buy...” It was a different time.
😔
@Jason Relatively speaking, a number of older systems are cheap today, especially in comparison to systems like the GameCube that are much more expensive today. Prices for systems and their games fluctuate over time, but at the moment, the Atari 2600, Intellivison, and (to a certain extent) NES are relatively cheap older systems with cheap games (NES stuff can get pricey though, depending on what it is). As for more recent options, the original Xbox is almost known for being relatively cheap to collect for, and the original PlayStation also runs pretty cheap today as well. Even for the PlayStation 2, while the system itself is a little more expensive than those others, the games for it can often be pretty cheap.
@@TheDoctor50 helps to that theyre the best selling consoles so supply is easily available
THANKS WATA
GameCube console prices aren't too crazy today. But it's almost impossible to get first party games on it.
I still remember my 9 Yr old me, looking out the Window, waiting for my Mum to come from work.
The Car drives in the Parkway, and i see my Mum with a big plastic bag.
It was a rough time, my Dad left and Died, my Mum´s Company got shut down. And there was huge Credit on the House from my Grandad, that decided to leave his Wife Kids and Grandkids and all his Problems. I still hate him somehow.
She managed to fulfill my dream of an NGC. I still dont know how.
It still gives me Goosebumps, Shivering and heavy Breathing when i think about what my Mum done for us.
Thanks Mama
Do u still that have gc
Wow man. It gave me goosebump too. Hope you take care of your mom well. I still have my GC, do you?
I thought this was a "my dad went to the gas station for smokes and then never came back" joke. I was wrong.
Epic story man.
Glad a NGC gave you a ray of sunshine during dark times.
"First world problems".
Boy, you haven't got the slightest clue in the world as to what "rough times" means. Working people around the world have a hard time getting bread to eat so STFU with your lame ass whinning.
I miss my gamecube. Dumb decision to offload that. I have a Wii with some GC games, but it's not the same. Anyways, great episode as usual.
thanks dude! they are still pretty cheap to pick up right now.
I use my wii to play SNES lol
Sam Deacon I use my snes to play wii
My parents forced me to sell my GameCube before they let me buy Wii. I still regret that decision and I later bought a new GC. Even with component out, Wii somehow makes the GC games look blurry and isn't worth it
never having played the Gamecube, how is it not up to par withe Wii its backwards compatibility? I still use my Wii in 2020... thanks
I still use mine. Just yersterday i went to the beach with a bunch of friends and after we hung out at my house so i brought the ganecube out with a tv in the backyard and we messed around and ate fast food. One of the many happy memories i have with my almost 20 year old gamecube😂
Idk where I left mine😭😭. Thinking of just buying one because it brings me soo much memories.
Y
That is an absolutely hilarious story! You're brave to bring yours out of the house. I've only shipped mine when I was on tour, and thank God it was safe!
@@Dizzypyon Absolutely hilarious reaction! 😂
I didn't know the Gamecube even HAD Homebrew
@@JamesKnox Not necessarily. He does show Swiss homebrew which is the menu hub for the emulators. Not only that, but Swiss can play ISO images as well as emulators.
@kroooassant that's the best damn meal deal I've seen!
Rule N64: If there's a console, there's homebrew
Even the Atari 2600 has homebrew. In fact it might have the most out of any console.
I'm still convinced that the GameCube controller is one of the best of all time. The new PowerA controller with the extra buttons just makes it so much nicer.
It just feels so nice in the hands man! I'm really glad the switch embraced it
The gamecube was and still is my favourite console. Great design, really good controller and a fantastic game library.
Yeah it's my favourite console aswel and that control is just brilliant!
idk..... i got a N64 when the ps1 was the cool thing..... ps1 when ps2 was cool..... ps2 when xbox 360 was cool
i personally loved the ps2 controller the best..... but the 360 controller is pretty good as well
however..... i prefer the n64 "3 stick" over the gamecubes controller....
its probably familiarity.... but i remember playing MOH : rising sun on my buddies cube...... and i didnt like the controller
still better than the dreamcast..... with the cable having to be bent under the controller....
thats the dumbest controller ever....
GameCube's library sucks because GTA isn't on it. I was sad when I was four because the GameCube don't have GTA thus I sold it for a PS2.
@@dio987 GTA sucks
I highly agree. I love the Gamecube.
Revisit? I’ve never quit
same bro
It's funny seeing you in USA using a Freeloader to run a PAL copy of Mario Sunshine, I use the Freeloader to run NTSC Mario Sunshine on my PAL GC lol.
Hahaha haha damn so funny :D
Show me your UB40 you Free Loader... ☺☺☺☺
Story of my life lol
I sold my GameCube 4 years ago, otherwise I'd be using the Free Loader to play all sorts of imported Japanese stuff !!
Just a question. Why would anyone intentionally run a game from another region if they already publish the game in the region your console is for? If you're playing imports that were never released in your region that's one thing. At least for NTSC consoles it makes no sense to run a PAL game because they run at 50 Hz instead of 60 Hz.
It's interesting to see that when Nintendo falls, they fall forward. Using the Gamecube's basic architecture for the Nintendo Wii, and using the hybrid home-console/portable form factor of the WiiU for the Nintendo Switch.
Ahhhh Nintendont. The copy & paste specialists. How original. 🙄
Copy pasted? Look at Xbox or Playstation if you want copy pasting. Nintendo has a lot of innovation every console.
@@chaptap8376 True, that guy talking out of his rear.
The heavy metal right when the LEDs lit up destroyed me lol
The Resident Evil remake and Resident Evil Zero were amazing.
The 6th generation gaming is also my favourite gaming era, where games were actually games, fun to play, 3D was booming, cel shaded graphics, no DLC, no 4k shit, where having friends over and playing split screen multiplayer games on good ol CRT, just put the game disc in the console and play it from the get go and who could forget playing multiplayer game on PC keyboard with hands crossed over your friend, those were the days.. Happy New Year Guys.
agreed but how 4k is a disadvantage lol
crtnr I think he mentioned 4K not because is a bad thing, but because people today are more interested if the game run smooth in 4K or which console have more details in 4K rather than just have fun, like it was before.
In the 6th generation everybody was having fun with their consoles connected to the TV with composite video and 480i. 4K is not bad, it’s just that shouldn’t be the main concern about gaming.
im more concerned about smooth gameplay than resolutions or graphics i hated 7th generation because of that evryone cared about graphics and gameplay took a big nosedive in smoothness because of it
I love every generation except the 8th generation.. So damn glad the Switch got released.. See 4K is beautiful it is just people want perfect graphics over gameplay which defends the purpose of gaming.. Don't get me wrong everyone wants quality in everything they buy and rightfully so but just don't buy a video game because it just looks pretty! You can buy paintings for that..
The reason I love the 7th Generation because most of my friends have families and live in different states so the 7th Generation kept me and my friends connected with online play..
Gamecube, Xbox and PS2 were easily the golden age of gaming.
All-in-one Gamer HD yes a lot of the best games came from that gen of consoles.
nope, i would go for mega drive/SNES as being the golden age.
@@33LB The SNES and the Sega Genesis are great consoles but its the 6th gen is where it truly shines.
Can't we agree they're all great? I own all of them now, Snes, Genesis, N64, PS1, Sat, GCN, PS2.
I don't have Xbox and Turbografx.
All-in-one Gamer HD Nope.
I just rewatched this video months later and enjoyed it so much a second time that I was going to like it...then I saw I already liked it back when I first watched it.
Keep up the amazing work MVG! If only I could like your content twice!
during the pokemon go era a couple years back my local park was filled at kids at like 1am. there was a large group where someone brought a gamecube and tv and were playing mario cart in a gazebo.
The GameCube was fantastic for its time, I absolutely loved it. Gave me two of my favorite games of all time, Resident Evil 4 and Metroid Prime.
Yep. And Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door.
That's why I like Nintendo, they weren't afraid too risc it all!
i see what you did there
This was my favorite be system from this generation by far. Was so hesitant to leave my Dreamcast but ultimately was glad I chose this system as my daily driver.
cringe
Tbh they were risking nothing, they've made so much money from the nes/snes they could aford to lose 5 generations and still be alive.
Except for emulators
I remember people hating on the design, calling it a lunchbox... but to me it’s beautiful. Something about it perfectly encapsulates early 2000’s technology and design. It was pure fun. The whirring sound of the disc drive, spinning the minidiscs... reminiscent of when we used to have to listen to music on portable CD players. It’s bulky plastic exterior.. everything about it just screams early 2000s for me.
It had one job; To play it’s library of games. That is it. It doesn’t play movies or music or browse the web. It just played games, and damn were they ever good.
I feel as technology has expanded consoles and computers are now able to do so much that I miss the days where we had less choices. We made fun with what we had. We didn’t need to consume so many forms of media all from one device. Have less choices actually made your choice feel so much more personal. When I have too many choices I don’t know what to pick. Don’t get me wrong it’s great that we have so many more options now, but for someone like me who has ADHD. I cannot handle having endless choices at my fingertips. I will play 5 minutes of a game and switch to a different one. Even the wii, which plays GameCube games feels like too much for me. When I see the list of channels and on top of all the home brew options I put on it... it’s just too much. The game cubes console UI was totally optional. You got a start up screen then it threw you into the game.
video game system: is older than 5 years old
mvg: *H A C K I T*
GC is still an amazing system. Even more so with the Gameboy player in the bottom.
I always found putting those mini discs in the console very satisfying
Paper Mario TTYD was my favorite on the GameCube.
Absolute GEM
That game is the reason I recently bought a Gamecube, and TTYD again. Very addictive and fun game.
Loved that game 😏
I got that Game from my Local Target (Which Permanently Closed October 15th 2018) in May 2007 when the System was Already Discontinued and when they were getting rid of their GameCube stock I took it home, played it, and Oh my God it totally caught my Eye Especially the Music at the beginning of the Game is very pretty it's my 1st Paper Mario Game I ever got During the Summer of 2007 those were good times good times
The gamecube is most definitely underrated and amazing.
What about the Wii U?

This is an amazing mod video. Thanks, MVG! I just purchased the chip, and the LED's to mod my GC. Completely unashamed of headbanging at 11:10
Gamecube was just awesome.
What the SNES expanded 2D gaming from the NES, GameCube did the exact same for the 3D gaming from the N64.
So many great games on the system. Super Smash Bros. Melee, Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil 1: Remake, Luigi's Mansion, Star Wars: Rogue Squadrons 2, Tales of Symphonia, Zelda: Wind Waker, Mega Man X Collection, Sonic Mega Collection, Sonic Adventure 1 & 2, Pikmin 1 & 2, F-Zero GX & many more. There's so many good Gamecube games.
Wow, I'm blown away.
Because all this time, I (like many before this watching this video) considered Nintendo to be behind when it comes to hardware compared to Sony and Microsoft.
I realize now that it was the complete opposite! Great video as always, my dude!
While it wasn't the most powerful console of the 6th generation (That was of course the Xbox), many people incorrectly assume it lagged behind the PS2 in system specs. The GameCube wasn't a slouch in the hardware department at all though!
As a GameCube fan myself, I'd have to admit GameCube was middle of the pack in that generation. It was ahead of the PS2, but behind the original Xbox. But the PS2 was cheaper and had DVD support out of the box, so it sold anyway. The GameCube was only a few million units behind the Xbox, it's just that Sony absolutely dominated that generation. It wasn't quite a Wii U situation.
This was Nintendo's last real attempt to compete head to head against other console makers.
@@fcukugimmeausername I disagree. Nintendo is the most innovative console maker. The Wii has motion control, the Wii U has a tablet controller, the Switch is usable both as a handheld and stationary. The DS has a touchscreen and the 3DS has a 3D screen. Microsoft and Sony simply update the graphical capability of their hardware and if they do something new it's because they saw it somewhere else.
Like a true fanboy
A Wii is excellent value. Basically can do everything a GameCube can
You can’t use the Game Boy player, but otherwise yeah.
@@AwesumIndustrys Why bother with a gameboy player when you can just have download emulators for the wii?
Jason Lee he didnt mean that its a relevant point
@@0x1EGEN Because the Wii's hardware is so bad, it can't even run some GBA games at full speed. My Wii lags playing the GBA port of Donkey Kong Country 2.
Dire, Dire, Docs that's probably just due to poor emulation. If a Wii can emulate the SNES version fine, it shouldn't have a problem with the GBA version.
I remember playing resident evil 4 with my buddy back in the day.
Graphics were mindblowing, load time quick, HDMI output for crisper picture, wireless controller, even add a hardcore PlayStation fan, GameCube was the bomb.
I just discovered you channel a few days ago and have been binging all of your videos. This is some amazing content. I've messed with modding consoles a few times in the past, but I'm going all out now lol.
Good looking out on those pre-wired LEDs! I've modified a few GameCube consoles but still have yet to do the controller port LED mod, this looks pretty simple to do with those LEDs. Nice brief look at the homebrew on it as well, I've only used my consoles for GC or GBA games but I'll have to take a look into the homebrew selection soon 😄
Do a vid tutorial on iso images and homebrew if you havent 👍🏻 i missed out on that generation, but i got ahold of a gamecube with a damaged laser disc i want to put to good use
the led's seemed a bit weak, mine shine much brighter :)
Great video! One tip I would add for those attempting a no-wire XenoGC mod, put a thin slice of kapton tape to cover the middle solder points before you place the XenoGC board over the solder points. This way, there's little to no chance that you will accidentally solder to the wrong points.
This entire CH is amazing. Thank you for doing this.
the GameCube was an amazing console, i remember playing starfox adventures a long time ago on mine
The Nintendo GAMCUBE Games are among the best Nintendo Games.of All the times.
But The Game Cube Console itself is the problem.
1 it is Too fragile.
2 The Disc loder Too fragile.
3 The Laser goes sometimes crazy.
4 The Mini Discs are really a Joke for an Adult.
Nintendo should remake a new Nintendo Game Cube Console with a Normal CD format.
I honestly never knew how much GameCube games held up... The games honestly looked like the first 6 months of the Xbox 360's life...
Kameo alone destroys that notion.
@@pt8292 Kameo? Really? I'd say that was a great example of exactly what he means. That game is extremely comparable to many games on Gamecube, like Star Fox Adventures, for example.
Metroid Prime was considered the best looking console game at the time. Halo 2 was a close second.
Ah, now you guys have reminded me of two more games I still want to play...
gamecube was closer to xbox in specs than the ps2, the mini disc format of the gamecube was the only thing that held it back, graphic/audio wise.
A shame I didnt see you mention what it takes to actually load software onto a chipped GC
Yes you can load stuff off of SD cards, but first you need to load something that can load from SD in the first place.
Swiss is the go-to solution but you gotta keep in mind that you have to use *something* to load that as well.
Unless you're still keeping your DVD-RW drive around, and have some mini DVDs laying around, you're not going to get very far, unless you use an Action Replay disc (20 bucks and up, quite pricey compared to the modchip itself)
Installing XenoGC will let you read regular size DVDs as well ( the GC laser has no issues reading those) but for that you need to either leave the shell disassembled, pry its innards apart so that the disc fits, or track down a very expensive 3rd-party shell that can fit DVDs.
You can also use game exploits with a botched memory card, but to make such a card you need a homebrew enabled Wii. And if you have a homebrewed Wii already, what's the point?
The only thing I can think of using the memory card exploit for is for GBI. Other than that, it's better off to you the Wii
It's not like Mini DVDs are that expensive. You can still buy stacks of them online for an acceptable price.
And burning them isn't different from burning normal DVDs either.
I was thinking that throughout the whole video - why would I bother with a Gamecube if I already have a Wii? The Wii, after all, can load all of the software the Gamecube can, has far superior peripheral support(Plug in an external USB Hard drive right out of the box, and since it's USB, just add hubs if you need more ports)(Bluetooth connectivity is perhaps an underrated specialty of the Wii)(No need for a janky memory card to SD adapter if you have an SD card port built in), it is easier to hack(for me it was as simple as tricking it into loading an e-mail), there is an EVEN LARGER batch of homebrew available for it, and if that isn't enough, it can be convinced to run Linux - turning it into a fully featured desktop computer(if significantly underpowered - this particular mod is better suited for running utility applications like file and print servers).
Benedikt Müssig That is true, but Gamecube is extremely picky about the quality of the Mini DVD’s and most of the reasonably priced discs available these days simply won’t work. Finding the disks with just right attributes/quality (relatively cheaply) can be really tricky. And after you have your discs you probably need to tweak some laser pots to actually pick up the burned data... :( soooo.... not as easy as it seems :(
Use Maxell Ritek G04 Mini DVDs. They are dirt cheap and will work 100% of the time. GameCube is very picky with its discs. It is Ritek discs or nothing.
I bought a Game Cube in 2004 and I sold it in 2009...I really regretted it . Last week I bought another GameCube and now I'm tracking down my fave games: Mario Power Tennis, Super Monkeyball, Mario Kart Double Dash and Mario Golf. Me and my mates had so many countless hours of fun with the GameCube, I still love it.
I still love the GameCube! It’s still my favorite video game console ever!
@X D I’m glad I still have my GameCube.
The GC is so amazing. It's so sad that it's one of the console that sold the least... The games is what matters, not the design or the disc capacity... (Even though games would benefits from it). GC had such amazing gems.
I love the intro for this console. This and the PS1 are my fave console intro's.
Just recently found your channel and I'm glad I did! So much quality information. Thank you very much!
Favorite console era ever. I was 16, building computers and fucking with DOS. Loved this time in the digital area. You're the best MVG. I'll always watch your channel.
The cube is by far the best console ever made. Pefect controller, awesome gfx and so fast to load. There was a core few dozen games that are classics. I still play Rogue Leader and Burnout 2 a lot.
TheFissionchips I would agree... just not quite with the controller. the c nub did like to slip from your thumb a lot. or maybe just me? I have big hands so I loved og Xbox controller so lol
@Emil Vrana No not the one controller, the 360 controller is better
I know it's subjective, but .. the D-pads on the 360 controller and the GC controller? Awful! I'm going with Xbox One controller - I don't even own any xbox but I use it for my pc all the time ;)
The GameCube controller is my 2nd favorite right after the 360 controller. I just don't like the d-pad
@@Ixicrashmanixi I had the exact opposite issue, OG XBox controller was too big. I preffer Gamecube, but XBox One controllers are really nice as well (just not the elite version).
My childhood man. I'm getting my lil brother a GameCube with all the classic games for Christmas and he's gunna be so shocked 😂😂
Wish you were my sister that's so cute haha awww
Good choice
1:43 last time I saw that mansion I was 11 on Christmas eve in my grandmas family room. Thank you.
found this channel just few days ago, but since then I was hooked :) love it !
That N64 t-shirt though!!
I don't care what anyone says. The Gamecube was my favorite console of that generation. Though I have to agree with you in that, I loved that generation of consoles.
I agree on all accounts (still love my PS2 though, and I won’t lie, I was super jealous of the Xbox’s built in hard drive... but it came late to the party so I like to think it had a little bit of unfair harfwarw advantage 😉)
@@ReedHarston I did like that aspect of the Xbox as well. Memory card hold a certain novelty factor though. I remeber just popping out my card and grabbing a game before visiting a friend who had the same console.
Yes, that is what I liked more about the PS2 (my brother's, not mine...) in the end. The hard drive was nice, but taking your saves with you on a small card was nicer, imo.
I like your content a lot. It’s high quality and it’s just amazing. Keep up the good work.
i have a Nintendo Game Cube since 2006 and still working!!! GREAT WORK!!!
Bet it has awful condition
What a nice birthday present. Thank you so much for uploading!
happy birthday !
Just mod any console 😁👍 I am currently doing some mod work on my ps2 and wii u great video glad I found your channel TH-cam algorithm strikes again.
Love his channel.
the easiest "console" to mod is the psp all you need to do is get the cfw installer and use it its really that easy
Always love your content! Definitely modding my old GC!
Man, I love your production! Keep up with the good work! ;)
The episode I've been waiting for
Mine is still waiting in the wings to do something interesting with it. Sadly I sold most of games over the years. Gamecube was freaking awesomo
Love the GameCube, just found mine that I lined up for and bought on launch day. Going to mod it after watching this video 😀
I love all the effort you're putting into your videos. Really cool to see you open up the cube as you talk about it, and a really cool demo for the LED lights which I will never attempt XD I have a suggestion, so long as it doesn't interfere with anything I would paint the inside of your controller ports white for the led lights to reflect off of more. My keyboard has white underneath the keys for this reason.
Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, feels better than closing the disc door on a Nintendo Gamecube. It's so freakin satisfying!
Well, the Dreamcast disc is also satisfying

Happy New Year 🎆 Brother
I still have my launch Gamecube that I got when I was 17 years old with all my games like Luigi's Mansion, Mario Sunshine, Metroid Prime 1&2, F-Zero, Wave Race, Pikmin 1&2, Star Fox Adventure, Eternal Darkness, Resident Evil 0 and remake, etc, etc.... It was probably my favorite 6th gen console, though I still loved my PS2 and Xbox.
The tiny, toy like appearance together with its excellent games give me so much joy. I can forget all the troubles from the outside world and just sit down and enjoy my time.
First thing I thought of seeing this: "Of course it's awesome, it's got a handle!"
"Jill, go and investigate."
I am watching your videos all over again, just can't get enough information. Thanks again.
I have watched enough of your videos to become interested in getting back into the homebrew scene again. I should have subbed a long time ago
This was an excellent video but I have to say that it hurt seeing you take apart that gamecube
I think the gamecube and Dreamcast aged the best out of the 6th gen I know many people that own a Crt and play Smash Melee.
Melee doesn't count.. it may have as well had it's own console lol
Soul Calibur was arguably the nicest looking game on the Sega Dreamcast!
@@excelsciors it's certainly up there! I think Dead or Alive 2 is maybe slightly better looking, But SoulCalibur is overall just a lot more fun, and had a lot more to unlock. Man, what a great system!
Super Mario Sunshine, Mario Kart Double Dash, Mario Party 6, Legend of Zelda the Wind Waker, Pikmin 1, _Metroid prime!_ It was a great console. A shame it didn't sell well.
I’d forgotten about Pikmin. Another great game my friend had that I was jealous of... I so wanted it. And that final fantasy game I can’t remember the name of... that looked fun.
I saw this for the first time on Tuesday, it's Friday and I'm now up my elbows in GC innards. Great Ep as always.
I love the Gamecube. I had so much fun at friends houses back in the day with it. So many good quality games. It could possibly be one of my favorite systems.
So I modded my Wii and that was relatively easy.
I’m looking into GameCube aaaannnnndddd I’m definitely not homebrewing or modding this.
Whats the point if you already have a wii, just install nintendont you dont even need cios, then you can play gamecube games
No reason to if you have a Wii, it can play all the GC titles.
GameCube Master Race
I'll never get rid of my GameCube. I got it for my birthday when I was 8 (in retrospect that was probably so my sister and I would stop playing on my dad's GameCube). I revisit all my games every once and while and I really treasure all the time I put into it.
gamecube is still my fav console, got it for christmas when it came out first and played wind waker on it. God i loved the graphics and controls and will never love any other console
I've never looked at a Gamecube and thought, "Wow, that's metal!" 11:10
you def need more metal in your life there chuck
I accept that the GameCube may not have been the greatest console of that generation, but it will always be my favorite from those times.
If I remember correctly, here in the US there was also a controller port adapter that would plug into your GBA or GBA SP, and some games would use the GBA as a sort of extra input. (Sort of like the Wii U's controller later on) Some games would use it to display map and inventory data, while others would have extra levels entirely on the GBA. A small game, Pac-Man Versus, made rather fun use of the gimmick, with the other 3 players controlling the ghosts, and the GBA player controlling Pac-Man. Animal Crossing had an entire hidden Island accessible with the GBA add-on, and numerous others used it. I think the Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures even had a mode for four players to use four GBAs plugged into the 'cube for a sort of Co-op mode, though this was a bit excessive, needing the four GBAs and four adapters.
I always remember wanting to play pac man versus on the pac man world 2 combo disc, but I never owned a gameboy advanced lol.
THIS CHANNEL is awesome! Thanks man!
VERY excited for that Wii video!
Game Boy Player is the most underrated item on the system. Amazing product that transforms the library of the system.

i played gamecube for first time about 2 yrs ago and feel in love with it, the graphics and pretty much every game is geared around fun and quirky graphics and it's what a console should be like
sure someone else has pointed it out, but a quick correction: Super Monkey Ball 2 wasn't a launch title, but the first game was.
gamecube is so loved yet still sold pretty poorly kinda like the wii u.....
True
Wii sold like 120million. Hit n miss for Nintendo

@@Brytons_Thoughts he dident say wiiu he said wii
@@Brytons_Thoughts Thats why he said hit and miss wii was a hit wiiu was a miss
I just finished all these mods on my model. Everything worked like a charm. I love how moddable this thing is. My only issue was the my Xeno GC had two red LEDs, so it seemed to not be working when it actually did.
Got a Panasonic Q Gamecube and a UK spec PAL console since launch day... Also looking at modding a GC from Ebay and running SWISS... I have an Asus RoG gaming laptop and a Sony PS4 Slim but i recently took my GC out of storage... The Gamecube has to be one of my fave consoles of all time! And i grew up with Atari ST... Commodore Amiga... NES... Amstrad... ZX Spectrum... Nintendo Gameboy and Atari Lynx... The mid to late 80s was just an amazing time for gaming... Thanks for making these great and really informative videos... Love your TH-cam Channel! 👍🙂
When Nintendo finally realised they needed to use CD/DVDs to actually fit decent size games on
Daniel Collins Except Mini dvds could only hold up to 2.8 GB lol
@@railerswim It's actually 1.5GB for Gamecube discs
railerswim true...but in comparison to a cartridge based system. I suspect the idea of a mini-disc is to avoid piracy
@@collinsd70 how? All desktop tray drives held mini discs.
It sucks less space. But today you need special equipment to get them resurfaced. Most discs used were scratches and scuffed.
come on mvg its new years eve here why upload now? haha just kidding thank you for uploading.
I have to admit, that the best childhood memories i had with the Gamecube and N64, but especially the Gamecube and
Super Smash Bros. Melee did it for me, with alot of priceless memories with friends.
I still have and play my gamecube to this day. Never got rid of it or sold it and always kept it in pristine condition so it looks like it was fresh out of the box still.
The GameCube is probably my favorite system ever.
Hey mvg, maybe you could do a more in-depth video on the PS3, how to jailbreak cfw etc. I really enjoyed your video on the original Xbox and Xbox 360 and as a ps3 player back in the day I would really enjoy it if you made a video on it
Just finished, right now, to soldering the Xen8 GC chip to my gamecube. It worked, I'm very happy. Not the better soldering I made, actually, it was my first modchip, and I screwed a little: first I tried to mod to the board, with no success. When I tried to remove the chip, some trails of the board came out... and a trail in the modchip melted to the point the copper joint disappeared. I managed to fix by scratching the board and the modchip until revealing a copper point, and soldering with wires. It worked, but not without some confusion of me: the lights were only red. At first, I thought it was a bad installation, but then, I googled and discovered that my chip is a generic one, that happens to not have the green or orange led, both leds are red. After some tests, I verified that it's working normally. Now, I'm feeling with courage to try a mod chip to PS2, but that it's another level, saw some videos, it look really hard. I already have the modchip, now I have to buy the console.
I purchased the Cube just for the Meteoid games. Love my Cube. Still have it. Works like new. Not a scratch on it. Love the led controller port lights. Awesome mod.
Great video! Can you do a wii homebrew?
Ayy at 6:34. You need a Gamebit Screwdriver. Not a try wing. Different type of screwdriver.
Awesome video... thanks for your time and knowledge and passion !!!
Great video about the gamecube! I been working on a custom gamecube and almost done with it
