Cherish this moment lads, because this will be the last “Nintendo GameCube: Shaping a Generation” video Scott will ever make
@Raytheslay i know your current location
@Raytheslay i know your current location too
how do you know that?
Not funny.
@Raytheslay One small problem: I am inside your home
this came out when I was in college. At the time my roommate got a $200 speeding ticket and was like "aw maan that was my GAME CUBE MONEY". I think of that every time.
I wonder if the cop bought a GameCube with that money
@@SuperflameGP He totally pocketed it to buy one himself, that son of a bitch
Did you still get it?
wow this video came out when you were in college? thats crazy
@@BGRUBBIN That's the thing, Dan and Tab never said their roommate was speeding, they only said he got a $200 ticket for speeding. I think it was a ruse by the police officer to get GameCube money.
My childhood home had a flooding issue, and my GameCube was kept in the basement where one day came bumbling downstairs to find myself knee deep in water. I waded through the water to my cube, fully submerged, and tried to turn it on and play pokemon coliseum, completely ignoring the flooded ass basement.
Did it work?
@Geeky Guy You won't believe this, but no it didn't
@@Whaleswillbewhales you better of got a new GameCube
Did you put it in rice?
@BDBD16 No, my mom tried to use a hair dryer. Not sure if it would have worked, but I definitely killed it when I tried to turn it on.
"Everything just oozes in the right position, it's like human hands were made for this"
- Scott The Woz 2022
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
What are you trying to say here? As a GameCube owner, and by proxy a GameCube controller, I have to say, Everything just oozes in the right position, it's like human hands were made for this.
I’m pretty sure Nintendo was so proud of their water graphics quality that they made it the thing for this generation. Starting with project dolphin, wave race at launch, Mario sunshine, Zelda wind waker
Holy shit ur right..
And indirectly Metroid Prime had some really good water as well with the actual water looks and the waves you made, how murky it would look when you were underwater and the mist/rain on the visor.
Final fantasy x and mgs2 to a lesser extent on the ps2!
Nah son rigging multiple layers of water textures was just an effect at the time that became popular because it was easy to do for the computers in general back then. Square enix ps2 games like Kingdom Hearts and final fantasy are alot of water environments and islands.
Based pfp
I remember watching his older video about the GameCube and hoping he’d basically do a “remake” of that video. And man, did he deliver
GameCube was best
i think hes going to make a wii remake in the next season
@@nylonyt228 what if he makes a wii video to build up to a wii u 10th anniversary video in november?
Same, I especially remember wanting to see him remake it after watching his N64 video though I never thought it would happen. Boy was I ever so happy to be wrong about that jajaj
Nice pfp.
Animal Crossing on the gamecube was the game that got my mother into gaming. I'd purchased the game so my niece and nephew had something to play around with, but they had trouble reading, and would ask their grandmother to read the game for them. Eventually she was more into the game than the kids were. She played it every single day, for years, so they didn't miss anything. She's STILL playing Animal Crossing, now on her phone. Some days I regret buying that game...
This is so wholesome.
Who is her favorite villager?
My mum loved it too. We'd find the special codes to get all the NES games.
Any mom who is a gamer is among the best moms of all time.
That's so sweet
Was the Gamecube really named after a shape? I never knew that. What shape was it named after? This totally changes my perspective on Nintendo's first foray into the Gamecube market.
I think it was the triangle
@@EXPeepik nah it’s obviously the circle
I’m guessing you are not good in English, but it was named after the cube. You know the cube? The 3d square?!
@@iamsheelWow really? 😱😱😱
I am not good in English. What is a 3d square?
I really really miss when the GameCube was new. It was such an interesting time. Companies started perfecting 3D games and we saw some of the most creative games back then
Like Geist
@@artifice4723 no, definitely not Gesit lmao
@@Folurby Yeah ofc not Gesit, we're talking Geist 👍
I feel you, I wasn't even alive when the gamecube came out but I miss the early days of the Nintendo switch from 2017-2018
Playing Resident Evil 4 for the first time on the GC is one of my greatest gaming experiences ever
When I was a kid, I thought the gamecube was amazing and everyone loved it. I was shocked when I found out it didnt sell well.
Ikr pretty crazy, it seemed like such a cool console, might pick up one one day
Dude it took me til like 2015 to realize that my wii could play gamecube games
When I was a kid, I did not know what a Gamecube was and I'd only seen an Xbox in magazines. It was all Dreamcast and PS2
@@silconavindel1610 only the first generation
To be fair kids loved their console regardless what it was back then as all 3 systems that console generation were good, just 1 of the 3 was better than the others because how it got truck load of more quality games compared to the other 2.
This script was SO well written and executed, I genuinely enjoyed it, and laughed. You have gotten very good at what you do Scott, congrats on your success.
It wasent a script
@@everythingponyIt most certainly is a scripted video.
@@_Conzo_no
Scott is literally the only person who can talk about the funny Nintendo square for A WHOLE HOUR.
can’t believe it
I mean he talked about the L button for 24 minutes right
One of my favorite features of the Gamecube was the fact that almost every game supported full 60 fps gameplay. You can still notice today how smooth the games are even just menu navigation is incredible.
That’s more to do with the era not the GameCube itself. Xbox and ps2 both had a glut of 60fps games
A lot of 6th gen games run at 60fps it's not unique to the gamecube
Except you were european. 50 Hz for the bin.
@@grafphal5103 not an issue anymore.
i was surprised to find out some ps2/gamecube and xbox games supports 1080i 60fps. Most tvs in the early 2000's were 480p crt and 720p plasma tvs. Quite impressive that they could pull it off. Thats something i would have expected from the next gen.
Man, for a console I never used even once I sure am enjoying this hour long retrospective on someone else's childhood memories!
that's literally the comment i made last week but with more brevity.
11:23 "Dreamcast....." 😅 I hope Scott dedicates a whole episode to the Dreamcast someday, I'd love to hear what he thinks about it after spending some time with it
pretty sure he would say
"this thing can play sonic and sonic."
@@nolongergabe“duhhhhh duhhhhhhh people only like sega consoles for sonic duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh duhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my cat had eleventeen puppies duhhhh duhhhhhhh the only sega games I know are sonic duhhhh doyyyyeeeeeee me like to use both sides of toilet paper to conserve toilet paper duuhhhhh”
@@admiralAlfonso9001 mad?
Scott is not worthy of covering the greatest videogame console ever made
@@arbi9506 Who is capable of reviewing your glorified tamogachi holder then?
14:53 Can we all appreciate how Scott has up to the correct date marked on the calendar when it comes to when this video was published? Like, that either takes good estimation of workflow, good planning, or some luck.
He probably just did that part last
I just love the idea of the Nintendo team in 2000 saying “F*** it, the kids love shapes”
The children yern for the cubes.
And Nintendo made a Wise Choice, I love the simple shape design!
I always knew shapes could be useful one day...
@@cop-killer he’s humpty dumty and he fell off a wall and broke his head
Shapes like Square, Triangle, Cross, and Circle. 😉
This is basically Scott geeking out over the GameCube for an hour, and I'm totally down with that.
Didnt even realize this was an hour long till your comment lol
@Raytheslay nobody cares about your opinion
Can't wait for the Wii u one
Hell yeah I'm down
And so am I; along with seeing close ups of the hand model Scott's hands...
Thanks for the complements
@Vampunz Thanks
hell yeah
Holy shit it's the GameCube!
Really Luigi’s Manson was one of my favourite gamecube games. On launch I bought a flight stick to play route squadron in, still one of my favourite game series
Good lord yah. And the 3rd rogue squadron was also pretty dope to. I played a boat load of Gamecube and N64 games. I was always more of a Nintendo dude. But I have plans to own all the old stuff some day. Like my dreamcast. Awesome system. The Sega Dreamcast was way ahead of itself, and it also had some bomb exclusives to.
1:05:13 - _"'Why can't Nintendo just make a standard game console to compete with the Xbox and PlayStation?' Well they did, and _*_you_*_ didn't buy it!"_
Great quote right here.
I can't imagine how different this generation would have been if Nintendo stopped caring about piracy so much and made the GameCube full sized disc compatible. Even without DVD playback, the amount of games that would have been a _breeze_ to port/develop for it would have been insane, and with the extra power, it might have led to the best versions of those games as well.
L take.
No, I'd agree. I think if the GameCube used full-sized DVD discs, that would bring a lot of advantages and helped in a number of ways. That being said, I don't think that change alone would've significantly changed the outcome of the GameCube though.
I'm not sure if this is true, but I've heard that consoles that are more easily pirated on are usually better selling
@@musicdude1540 L reply.
Man I wonder how the Silent Hill games would have looked on that
The early 2000s were an insane time for video games. So much quality stuff came out in such a short time frame and almost none of it feels dated, unlike the previous generation. I need to go back and try it all. Thank goodness for ports.
The timing of the ad for me was perfect:
“Mario Sunshine may have been the only mainline Mario, but we got- EXPEDIA”
I would love to have seen Scott and his friends clear off 2/3 of his game shelf for an opening bit that lasted .5 seconds.
Maybe in Scott’s Stash
In my opinion this was truly one of Nintendo’s absolute best consoles.
Excellent Library of Games, Graphics that still look great to this day, and the iconic start up.
Half its games were not very good entries in their franchises
@@internetguy7319 *laughs at Wind Waker, Sunshine and Melee*
But I get your point
@@theboi5584 keyword: HALF
Facts
@@internetguy7319 but the other half are really good games, probably the best in their series
"mario sunshine is one of the most polarizing-"
every paper mario fan in the audience:
I’ll always see the GameCube as “the end of an era” with home consoles, everything before it is definitely the “Nostalgic chapter” of gaming before everything felt like “now/just recently”, and definitely a great ending bookmark at that.
It also has my favourite game of all time, Super Smash Bros Melee on there too, so idk I guess it’s pretty good.
The Wii and Wii U will start going up soon.
I agree. The GameCube was like, the last "magical" game console.
IMO it may feel that way before it was the norm for every console to be online, get patches, or have something like a home screen instead of booting straight to a game
"It still wasn't the Zelda that everyone wanted. That came at the end of the GameCube's life."
Madden 08 is the Zelda game I've always wanted. How did you know?
Repent and follow Jesus my friend! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Contemplate how the Roman empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years to accomplish the religion of the Israelites C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and have proof. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life. - Revelation 3:20
Revelation has been unfolding since Jesus died. The Popes have claimed to be equal to God and set themselves in Jesus' place (antichrist(s)). Vatican City (Which is its own nation BTW) have risen up to fulfill the role of the false prophet
Regarding the man of lawlessness or antichrist, 2 Thessalonians 2:4 says “Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” The restrainer that the Apostle Paul was referring to in 2 Thessalonians was the Western Roman Emperor, who held back the Popes from taking power. Once the last Western Roman Emperor was removed from power in 476 AD, the Pope was given civil and ecclesiastic authority over Rome; healing the deadly head wound of the beast in Revelation 13, as they took the Emperors title of Pontifex Maximus, leader of the church and state.
“We may according to the fullness of our power, dispose of the law and dispense above the law. Those whom the Pope of Rome doth separate, it is not a man that separates them but God. For the Pope holdeth place on earth, not simply of a man but of the true God.” (Source: “Decretals of Gregory IX,” Book 1, chapter 3.)
Pope Pius V blasphemed, “The Pope and God are the same, so he has all power in Heaven and earth.” (Source: Pope Pius V, quoted in Barclay, Cities Petrus Bertanous Chapter XXVII: 218.)
Pope Leo XIII declared, “We hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty.” (Source: Pope Leo XIII Encyclical Letter, June 20, 1894)
The antichrist sea beast of Revelation points to the office of the papacy, the Popes of Rome, who controlled the Roman beast for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 AD.
Daniel 7:25 says “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.” The Popes of Rome spoke against Elohim and proclaimed to be God. They reigned for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 AD. during which they caused tens of millions of saints to be killed.
The Pope’s title is Vicar of Christ, which in Latin is ‘Vicarius Filii Dei’, and equates numerically to the number 666
Funnily enough madden 08 on ps2 was the last good madden game

Ah you too?
56:16 “The first m-rated Nintendo published title”
Conker’s Bad Fur Day: Am I joke do you?
Rare published it themselves, not Nintendo. In fact Nintendo didn’t even promote Conker at all, not even in Nintendo Power.
@@liammcnicholas918 I actually didn’t know that. Thanks for correcting me
I remember when younger appreciating how light and easy it was to travel with the GameCube. I had a small travel bag just for my GameCube with a game or two and all the plugs. A lot of times my family would have to go stay at grandparents place to take care of them and then go back home a few days later. So I ended up with A LOT of nostalgic memories of playing a lot of the GameCube games to pass the time. I used that handle damn it.
I always got happy whenever my cousin visited with his GameCube, before I had a Wii and he could just play the games off that.
And then PS2 Slim came around
What's funny is that while the Gamecube didn't have a huge install base during its own lifespan, people got to enjoy the games through the Wii's backwards-compatability, and I think that's why so many people remember playing Gamecube titles despite never owning a Gamecube; the Wii sold the most units in the following console generation.
Edit: if I'm not mistaken, the Wii sold 100+mil units. The gamecube sold ~20mil units. The Xbox 360 and PS3 sold ~80mil units. Therefore you could argue that, if you subtracted everyone who bought an actual Gamecube from the Wii sales, it means that the number of "new" Gamecube owners via Wii sales were about equal to the 360 and PS3. Just food-for-thought.
Sad that the switch hadn’t followed suit
@@JorgeGomez-hx5uu wdym
@@JorgeGomez-hx5uu The architecture is too different between the Switch and Wii U... but 99% of the games were re-released for the console, anyway, or had better versions come out on Switch. So, if you didn't own a Wii U, you can at least play the games from that generation.
@@fuckcontinentals backwards compatibility for the GameCube.
"Anything was possible, even failure!" Is my new favorite saying
I think it's cute all his videos have a set format that he NEVER varries from. History and jokes for most of the video, but he always ends with a serious, nostalgic/tender summation. You can even hear it in his voice that he is trying REALLY hard to sound like he is discussing something that truly touches him. It's like he learned a format for planning these videos I'm high school drama class and he has never looked back.
True story: a friend of mine actually found a Platinum GameCube in a dumpster not too long ago, and it still works. I am still shocked about that.
Nintendo games and products are (or maybe used to be? not sure anymore) nearly indestructible
@@Trillyana not anymore. definitely not anymore
The Nintendo switch breaks so easily and the game boy literally survived a bomb
It honestly feels like that with the passing of Iwata, Nintendo's reputation for solidly built consoles, went with him.
It's incredible how Nintendo consoles just don't break. Never had a problem with overheating as well. But the Switch may be the least solid of them all, even though it may be one of their, if not their best console yet.
My first gaming console was the GameCube when I was 5. I don’t ever remember asking for it, I just remember how excited I got when I opened that gift and saw it for the first time. One of my most treasured memories is watching my mom play Paper Mario after school everyday until we beat it.
That's so cool, the Thousand Year Door is a special game
The fact you said your mom played Paper Mario is pretty damn awesome. I never had a parent that played anything past an Atari 2600. That's dope you got to watch your mom beat that game
YESSS THOUSAND YEAR DOOR!
@@evaunit2005 I know right, my mom would play the classic 3 though.
My first gaming consoles were actually the classic PS1 and 64 I remember how amazing, and very rad it was back in 94 on TV sets I remember getting the Ocarina of Time during Christmas back in 98 it's probably the only Zelda game I love the 64, PS1 and GamecCube were way ahead of its time. ♥
9:44 I love how Scott just stops fiddling with the PS2 controller
When Resident Evil 4 came out I dropped whatever I was doing and absolutely needed to have it. It was and is the best game ever created.
The remake is coming in March and I CANT WAIT!! I really hope they kept mercenaries mode and I would really love a rogue like mercenaries mode where random enemies and weapons are different in every run.
It seriously did shape a generation, I can remember being at Target as a young child and seeing the ad for Super Mario Sunshine and just being like “wow, the future is here”. I never loved a Nintendo console more than I loved my GameCube. Got so many years out of that little purple cube.
I would like but haha funny Reddit 69 number lmao morbius minecraft gaming 🗿
"IT'S THE FUTURE YESTERDAY!"
Meanwhile I was looking at Halo Combat Evolved and geekin
Sunshine was another take on Mario 64 to me. Games like Halo and GTA really rung in the future.

2:18 You should add "difficult to program for" on that list as well. They had completely different architecture (RISC vs 6502/65C816), a very unique graphics chip (and I'll curse them for moving from 3Dfx in the design phase), and introduced the C language to the system when everyone was fine on 6502 and 65C816 assembly for over 10 years at that point (but to be fair, assembly on the N64 console would have been a bitch), but I digress.
Nintendo had stated that the GameCube would be much easier to develop for, and this was in part to the ATI graphics chip with OpenGL language, and IBM PowerPC architecture. Still in C/C++ because yeah, never going back to assembly unless you really can, but everything was more friendly to developers.
I remember being around 6 or 7 years old and accidentally accessing the GameCube's menu. The music made me feel like I was lost in some forbidden temple and I felt like I didn't belong there, like I was seeing things I was never meant to see.
Wish you wrote a short story inspired by the second sentence.
edit - coming from a writer.

The feeling was pretty OFF.

This is how I felt watching porn for the first time.
I still remember the day I got my Gamecube. I opened up the box, was looking over the system while my mom popped open the game. I'll never forget her reaction.
"Why the hell is the disk so small!?"
Wonderful.
Lol when I got It I thought the same
She sounds Ike a baddie
The intro using Break Out for the music is so charming to hear :)
My god. What Scott said about the Zelda games each being a "legend passed down" so each one would have a different art style makes so much sense that I wonder why the f*** I never thought of it before.
Please do more Zelda games Scott!
Which just makes the idea of forcing them all into a timeline make that much less sense.
Yup.
Basically the Zelda tradition.
@@jacobmonks3722 nope
@@jacobmonks3722 only the fans force the games into a timeline. Nintendo doesn't care about it (except when they can sell Hyrule Historia's with it), which they have stated many times. It is ''the legend of Zelda'', not the ''meticulously detailed chronicles of Zelda''

I worked my first ever job in the summer of 2002 at the age of 16. I took my first paycheck, went to a CompUSA and bought a GameCube, Melee and two extra controllers. My brothers and got an incredible amount of joy from that system and it's my second favorite system ever behind the Sega Genesis. This is probably my favorite video you've ever made, Scott.
You know Scott loves the gamecube when he's willing to do a retrospective on it TWICE
This will become Scott's most replayed video ever: Hilarious, an hour long, informative, quality Scott, all about the Gamecube - Nintendo's Van Gogh.
Indeed
Definitely. I love it when he talks about Nintendo's history. You can see his passion.
I’d argue it’s more of Nintendo’s Picasso, given that it’s, y’know, a GameCubist
I thought the Video where Scott said “Hey ya’ll!” would be the most replayed Video ever?
i used to play mario kart double dash over and over without even realizing that you unlocked newer courses by winning on harder difficulties. When I first unlocked those new tracks and new characters my life changed forever. I also remember playing crazy taxy a shit ton, as well as playing these demo games over and over from the game cube demo disk. So many memories from one console.
curious fact, the fact that it is difficult to pirate was one of the reasons why the game cube was not popular here in Brazil, because believe it or not, the ease of pirating is one of the requirements for a console to be well sold here since the original games here are absurdly expensive, where without any exaggeration or joke, you can buy a cheap second-hand motorcycle for the price of an original game which means that many people like me have never even personally seen an original game in my life what makes it cost even more
Eu comprei o chip e destravei meu Cubo... Depois me arrependi, console pirateado é uma bosta
@@Ainnema pirated console is better what do you mean?
I was a bit too young for the GameCube, my first console generation was the DS and Wii, but I remember getting my cousins old GameCube and my uncle taking me to a second hand game store to buy games for it, and that will always be a great memory for me. My favorite game that I had was Mario Party 5, and I remember asking my cousins if I could have their old copy of Windwaker, and being so disappointed when the disc was too scratched up to work. So many fun memories with this thing.
The last Nintendo console i bought for myself was the N64. I then bought my friend's Ps1 for $20 so he could buy his Ps2. The only Nintendo I bought since then was my (step)daughter's DS, because her Deadbeat sperm donor's sister wanted to buy her Ninten-Dogs(don't think she even played it). Now my daughter is an Xbox girl. Thankfully cross-play is working itself out so we can Minecraft together. Sony/Microsoft/(Steam/Epic/new winner) is the future. Nostalgia mattered 15 years prior, now it's just business.
If you still have that disc you can very easily fix it up cheap, buy some Novus 2 off amazon for $6 and some microfiber cloth and gloves to avoid getting it on your skin and rubbing out the scratches/resurfacing it by hand. Should fix it if the scratches ain’t too deep.
I was perhaps just barely too young for a GameCube. So precisely on the border that many of my friends had one, but I was the one who ended up with a Wii close to release. I remember walking into a flea market used game store and picking up a copy of Metroid Prime 2, among some others. It's very unrefined to be sure, but that game's multiplayer has much more potential than many give it credit for.
@@nodorog448 I think you're the first person I've ever heard talk about preferring the Xbox. I don't even know anyone who owns one tbh but it's cool that it's working out so well for you and your stepdaughter :)
@@frauleinzuckerguss1906 no, see i despise the Xbox. They are just going to outlast Nintendo, because Microsoft doesn't even care if Xbox loses money.
Whenever I was a kid, my parents asked what I wanted for Christmas. At the time I didn’t know the name of any console systems aside from the “Nintendo” lol.
So I said I wanted the box console. It sounded like that would be a console.
Come Christmas, instead of opening a GameCube, I opened an xbox. My life forever changed from that day forward haha. Loved games ever since :) even Nintendo titles.
Rest in cubes
@@Rurious I mean, Halo CE is still one of the greatest fps ever ans still holds up to this day.
Dude what do you think happened in the Nintendo timeline?
@@crewrowles1645 I wonder about that actually hahaha. I’m pretty sure I would’ve been waaaaay better at smash lmfao
Now imagine opening an N64 with Mario 64 and Wave race Christmas of 1996.
I never had a game cube, but boy did I want one! I was only six when it was released, and didn’t have any video games or electronics at that point. My friend got one for Christmas in 2002, and i remember playing Mario sunshine on it at her house after school some days. Good times!
You kidding? Its never too late to start watching Star Wars.
Having bought a GameCube a year ago, I do not regret anything, even the price. Worth every penny.
How much did you pay for it?
👍
@@mind-of-neo
Bout $150, not including games.
@@goroakechi6126 dang has the price gone up that hard on them? They used to be about $50-60
It’s fantastic isn’t it. It was my first console and I’ve played it all the time as a kid. So many great memories made. I found it in my garage not too long ago and it still works along with the games
Super cool to hear you mentioning stuff like the EON adapter for the GameCube. Upgrading those older consoles to look fantastic on modern displays is just what some people need to scratch that nostalgia itch. This vid doesn't go in detail about it but for those looking for more info on that, I'd check out My Life in Gaming's videos on getting the best out of the GameCube visuals.
Thanks for the info
Ayy.
I’ve seen you in FamilyJules twitch chat.
Wassup chaotic!
Hey chaotic meatball I love your Pokemon videos
But I can just use an emulator...
@@ZaLewdWarudo A GameCube is only like 20 bucks and Dolphin is still far from perfect so if you can afford it's still a much better experience to play on actual hardware at this point in time
It’s crazy because Scott I’m sure is a few years older than me ( I was born in 04) yet we had very similar childhoods with games. This was my first console and I would play the HELL out of Double Dash and Melee, hint why I’m so good at them now💀
Sonic mega collection was also my introduction to Sonic which at the time I was crazy into especially seeing that Sonic X would come on Saturday mornings too. It’s crazy
In his cheat codes video he shows a photo that I think says he's either born in or the year at the time 1994 so he's at least born in 1994 at the latest
In my 21 years of life, I have never met anyone with a GameCube nor have I ever seen one in the flesh
in my 20 years of life i owned one when i was 7
In my 15 years of life, I've owned one for 2 years (thought it barely works)
I was born yesterday, wtf
In my 30 minutes of life, I gotta say I feel pretty nostalgic about the Gamecube
I had the same feeling when I bought the Gamecube as I did with the Sega Dream cast
Loads of potential and was really fun but died off very quickly due to PS2 presence all everyone as high school talking GTA 3/VIce city
Scott's original GameCube video: 7 minutes long
Scott's new GameCube video: over an hour long
My how times have changed. Love it.
I feel like I’ve beaten Luigi’s Mansion at least 6 times, and it still holds up as one of my all time favorite “Mario” games. Overall, a very good showcase for the GameCube’s potential.
Indeed, I can't wait to see what the GameCube has in store for us Nintendo fans in the future!
Wind Waker was one of the greatest game experiences ever, for me. Since I saw it first time on TV commercials.
I love wind waker. As a kid I hated it because I could never get past the first time you go to the forsaken fortress, but I still enjoyed just running around outset island in the beginning, and now that I've gotten much further, I love it. Exploring the ocean it feels like there's no end to the things you could find! And now that I got a wii u, I'll definitely be picking up wind waker hd
And here we see a wild Wii-U owner in there natural habitat
@@Applecore99 I do exist... I think
The ads and marketing of the GameCube and of this console generation in general were so ridiculous abstract and edgy, will always wish I could’ve seen it myself
xploshi confirmed sighting in Scott the woz comment section (2022 colorized)
tbh same, being born in 2002 i missed a lot of the weird and cool stuff that happened around the early 2000s
The early 2000s seemed like the time to be alive
The tune from the UK Gamecube adverts was the last thing you'd expect from Nintendo.
@@GreatLakesAnimator fr it seems like such a unique and fun year
This is easily one of my favorite generations of games. There's good stuff coming out these days, but when it comes to sheer quality and fun, the 6th generation really was something to behold.
6th Gen was legendary. When the 360 came out, I remember going into Walmart and playing the demo console. I wasn't blown away like I was going from 5th to 6th Gen.
Games nowadays have lost that magical quality for me, every now and again, I'll see something new that gets me hooked, but it's much more rare.
Could not agree more! ;A;
After the GameCube/ ps2 era, i just can't get into most n64/ps1 games anymore...
@@Sonic6293 the demo console probably wasnt hooked up with an HDMI cord
@@Sonic6293 it's called Rosy recolection, you probably where a kid only entering into the videogame industry when the 6th generation was in full swing and because of that you remember them that way because it was something new that you where experiencing for the very first time because by all accounts while there are some exceptions like always modern games are just better thanks to the last 20 years of evolution and improvement
I got a Poptarts ad at 4:04 and the sentence said "Nintendo said, mmm, toasty Pop Tarts"
59:38 That “list of sins.” I really dig Scott's humor.
47:30
Fun fact about Mario Strikers: It was and is a hockey game.
It was developed as a hockey game and was pretty much completed as one but then Nintendo decided football would be a more recognizable sport so they changed the animations. But not the mechanics. That's why you don't have out of field and often shoot the ball from so far away.
"Hey. Make Mario Hockey"
"Hockey boring. Make it football"
This is my first time I ever heard this? It makes sense. Do you have a source?
@@tigerkill420 the source is that he (possibly) Made it up
"Nintendo decided football"
*laughs in American*
I'm always going to miss this generation of gaming in it's entirety. The worst selling console of this generation, still had a library was absolutely timeless, and jaw dropping. No matter what you had, whether it be a ps2, xbox, or a GameCube. You had something special, that truly had a heart and soul poured into it.
nowadays it's the opposite.
you and your wallet are walking on explosive eggshells no matter if you have a switch, ps5, or xbox x
It was the phase just before gaming became much more mainstream. Games were still made for fans
The Dreamcast was the worst selling of that generation
Yeah, these days are definably the opposite.
Yeah, personally I would say sixth (PS2) and seventh (PS3) generations are the last and best ones, all a bit downhill from there. Seemed like every gen was building on the last one exponentially, but it kinda slowed down and tapered off for eighth (PS4). Yes there was progress but there wasn't this appreciable jump any more. There's less difference to my eye from a PS3 to PS5 game than there was from a PS1 to PS3 game.
I want to say thanks scott for inspiring me to get a GameCube 😂. I knew people who had one so rewatching this video made me have some serious nostalgia.
29:22 I'm pretty sure the LAN adapter and the modem adapter were two different devices. The LAN adapter connected multiple gamecubes to play with more players (or to let each player have their own screen) and the modem adapter allowed you to play online.

you gotta respect scott for removing all that stuff on the shelf that takes so long to put all back
I wouldn’t be surprised if he just took photos of the shelves when he first set them up empty and used photoshop to get that effect once the GameCube was shelved. I don’t think it’d be too hard to do
Yup.
Goes extremely far for a joke, that’s when you know he loves his job.
The blooper video for Game Baths on Scott's Stash is just for the intro bit
@@LoganTEM Exactly what I was thinking. So much effort (and even money) spent on a 10 second intro bit.
I have heard Scott make the joke of never having seen Star Wars so many times that I am starting to believe it is true.
I saw Resident Evil Remake on this thing and it was a system seller for me! Dat Jill pose in the elevator before the final battle with Tyrant! ATI graphics was phenominal on this system!
Why!Do!You!Talk!Like!That!?
This was my university console.
During the holidays, we used to climb through the lecture hall window, set plug the Gamecube into the AV and play Timesplitters 2 (and later Timesplitters: Future Perfect) on a cinema-sized split-screen.
Also, in the university kitchen, the Gamecube sat next to a Dreamcast on top of a PS2, which in turn sat on top of an XBox.
Fun times.

Hell yeah
This world is rapidly passing away and I hope that you repent and take time to change before all out disaster occurs! Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36) if you believed in Messiah you would be following His commands as best as you could. If you are not a follower of Messiah I would highly recommend becoming one. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life - Revelation 3:20.
Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13 over the course of 1260+ years. Revelation 17 confirms that the beast is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God.
Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc. Have a blessed day!
damn, that’s really cool
Oh yeah. University Smash tournaments and multi-system Halo parties at the dorms. Good times, good times
This will always be one of my childhood most favorite consoles.
Still upset that I lost my Smash Bros Melee and Metroid Prime disc
Bro those two are gems
Repent and follow Jesus my friend! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Contemplate how the Roman empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years to accomplish the religion of the Israelites C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and have proof. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life. - Revelation 3:20
Revelation has been unfolding since Jesus died. The Popes have claimed to be equal to God and set themselves in Jesus' place (antichrist(s)). Vatican City (Which is its own nation BTW) have risen up to fulfill the role of the false prophet
Regarding the man of lawlessness or antichrist, 2 Thessalonians 2:4 says “Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” The restrainer that the Apostle Paul was referring to in 2 Thessalonians was the Western Roman Emperor, who held back the Popes from taking power. Once the last Western Roman Emperor was removed from power in 476 AD, the Pope was given civil and ecclesiastic authority over Rome; healing the deadly head wound of the beast in Revelation 13, as they took the Emperors title of Pontifex Maximus, leader of the church and state.
“We may according to the fullness of our power, dispose of the law and dispense above the law. Those whom the Pope of Rome doth separate, it is not a man that separates them but God. For the Pope holdeth place on earth, not simply of a man but of the true God.” (Source: “Decretals of Gregory IX,” Book 1, chapter 3.)
Pope Pius V blasphemed, “The Pope and God are the same, so he has all power in Heaven and earth.” (Source: Pope Pius V, quoted in Barclay, Cities Petrus Bertanous Chapter XXVII: 218.)
Pope Leo XIII declared, “We hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty.” (Source: Pope Leo XIII Encyclical Letter, June 20, 1894)
The antichrist sea beast of Revelation points to the office of the papacy, the Popes of Rome, who controlled the Roman beast for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 AD.
Daniel 7:25 says “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.” The Popes of Rome spoke against Elohim and proclaimed to be God. They reigned for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 AD. during which they caused tens of millions of saints to be killed.
The Pope’s title is Vicar of Christ, which in Latin is ‘Vicarius Filii Dei’, and equates numerically to the number 666
My dad accidentally threw all of my Gamecube games away once and I had to fish them out of a public dumpster, but I didn't find all of them. Metroid Prime was one of the few games I couldn't find anywhere in the trash 😭
@bruh bruh Fax
It's okay I lost Warrior within and Two Thrones. And my Naphew at the time broke my Sonic Adventure 2 Battle disc. I know your pain.
This is the best Nintendo GameCube retrospective on the internet. You cover all the bases and highlight every important game released as well as every hidden gem. Kudos for creating the most entertaining, informative, comprehensive and insightful piece of video dedicated to this amazing and under appreciated Nintendo console.
The four swords adventure was hands down in the top 10 gamecube games released. Playing that game 4 players was amazing!
0:06 Did he really just empty all of his shelves except the GameCube for a little joke? Man this guy is dedicated
1 whole hour of Scott and Nintendo GameCube goodness
I know it's been around long enough that it's old enough to drink but it still feels like yesterday.
17:10 I really do hope Scott did this shot by himself so his neighbors could watch him set up his camera, go back inside, and then throw the game out the window without context
The GameCube is what let me fall in love with games as a kid
It'll always have a place in my heart
I love how Nintendo's always been terrified of piracy of their games, yet they never actually put in the work to providing a fair and legal way for people to play their older games. Then whenever they do, it's usually a _very_ select few titles and its the most minimal effort they possibly could've done to emulate it, and yet expect a fortune for it. Nintendo's still 50 years in the past as far as technology goes, it's no wonder people have their games emulated at 4k before they're even released nowadays.
Nintendo: I’ll release a port of super Mario sunshine when I want to!
Nintendo: There will be no piracy
Fans: and no way to play old games
It comes from Nintendo being a really old company heavily married to Japanese law. They are both really backwards compared to other companies' retro offerings whilst rigorously persecuting anything online that might enable others to access their old games.
I really wish they’d give some love to the hidden GameCube games they’ve neglected forever. There are so many that didn’t sell well that I’m very confident would become cult classics if rereleased today :(
I may just be projecting my love for cubivore
They never do so I stopped caring. Anything older than a gen is free game and fans did it better. Nintendo will never offer a better way to play GameCube than dolphin.
35:12 That's my boy! To me, Tales Of Symphonia is the best JRPG I've ever played and I recommend it to everyone. I'm glad to watch the whole thing, it brought so many memories. I hope that Scott gives Sonic Riders a chance as it is such a great racing game, even if you are not a Sonic fan.
Most of my Gamecube memories were actually third party games: The Sims, Mortal Kombat Deception, the James Bond titles, Need for Speed. You are right, that was the time they did competed with Sony and Microsoft but people didn't care!
I was born a couple months after the Gamecube released, but it was still my childhood console. I remember being terrified of Luigi's Mansion, messing around in Sunshine, getting the disease known as "Sonic fan" with Mega Collection. Recently I've gotten back into, playing all the stuff I missed out on like Prime and GX. The controller is still my favourite for 3D games. This console is so special. It will always hold a special place in my heart.
I never played any of those yet had one lol
same bro i was born late 2001 but my dad brought a GameCube because of Resident Evil 4 i only played the Nintendo title til i was in high school (via the Wii BC)
@@B727X you should because they are fun and great to play
Hope you're recovering from your Sonic Fan infection. I heard it's resistant to most first line antibiotics
@@Aquatarkus96 Unfortunately I was recently diagnosed with the "hardcore fan" variant. It seems I'll have to go through at least two more Sonic Cycle treaments before symptoms will start to let up.
Can we all just appreciate Scott’s production quality and ability to keep us watching despite them being either on one game or an entire console regardless of time
Fr
This video keeps popping into my feed. I can’t help but watch it through every time🤘🏻
Scott, please make more videos like this. Watching you go in depth on a console/handheld's history is always great. Maybe make one on the 3DS or something?
I wouldn't say I was *satisfied* as someone who was exclusively a GameCube owner through most of that gen, but it had Melee, so I didn't really have a choice!
what up! love your channel! i'm glad you revisited DKC3 - it was my favorite growing up
Losing Rareware to Microsoft definitely contributed to that feeling of dissatisfaction.
That happened 20 years ago this September.
Scott dropping this outta nowhere with the BEST console
he made the gamecube? i knew it
Wouldn't the wii be the best then?
But but the Wii U
"the best console" okay so you were a child when the gamecube came out
Fr
Dang. Major stroll down memory lane. And remembering all the memories I could've had with the games I passed on (mainly cause I was a broke high schooler and couldn't afford those games & accessories haha). Great video. Coulda' totally been longer than 1 hr and I would watch it. Awesome video!
Retrospectives so often emphasise game mechanics, graphics etc. But so often neglect the reasons why we play games...how they make us feel. Thank you for sharing your story with us.
i actually remember accidentally triggering the boot up Easter Egg 19:39
i recall being creeped out and shutting the console off after, think it was the giggle at the end of it that just made me panic and do so
Xbox did the same thing.
remember the creepy talking?
