Wow the internet is cool. Watching the history of extreme G. Unreal lol
I had great fun with bomberman tournament on the GBA (Ironically, not at all a tournament...) but never ended up getting this one. It has been on my list for a while - just waiting to find a nice copy!
Grew up with bman on genesis and looooved b64 and hero
I had some great times playing Bomberman 2 emulated online. I never knew this game existed and it seems like a fun one. The stylized graphics still look good today.
Huh i didnt know tgat there was a Bomberman game on the gamecube, looks like a lot of fun
Bomberman Jetters is also on GameCube. Great multiplayer in that one too.
My first Bomberman game was 64, and I got so used to it and Hero’s 3D setup that it completely screwed with me when I eventually obtained 64 2nd Attack and it played “traditional” style with the explosions and how things played (though a lot of that was just 2nd Attack being 2nd Attack….lots of slowdown and odd design choices). I eventually learned to appreciate it (I even obtained a loose copy of Saturn Bomberman for an amazing price as time went on). I dunno why I never gave the GameCube versions a spin; maybe I was going through a “too cool” “that’s for babies” phase. I’d heard there was a lot of criticism even at the time 64 came out that the multiplayer didn’t “work” with the 3D explosions (I strongly disagree, but I am biased). So I get them keeping the classic style for multiplayer (especially after 2nd Attack went back to the classic style outright, and Bomberman Online on Dreamcast).
That's odd about how swinging constantly pulls you upwards on PS2, it doesn't do that on gamecube.
Hearing the history of Treyarch is fascinating, as I never knew of “Die by the Sword”. I knew of their porting efforts on Dreamcast, and of Draconus, but really thought their first efforts were there. Visually the game is VERY impressive, more so in the outdoor environments, and Spider-Man’s character model. It’s a good game, but also a little rough around the edges at times. Another great video man!
This is a game I always found as a solid platformer. It definitely is just Crash Bandicoot with Donald Duck, but that’s not a bad thing at all! Interesting hearing the history behind the development for this as always! Finally trying to catch up on your videos man!
Insanely fun video. These E3 announcement recap videos kinda feel like a highlight trailer for your future work. It also puts me back there and it reminds me why 2002 felt so exciting for video games. I love your comparison of the "Emperor showing up naked" about Nintendo being there without much to offer with online. The info and the conjecture you produce is great stuff. (I speak from experience as an off and on game journalist)
28:21 it’s the smash strategy guide I have it :) from Japan
Fun episode! I remember reports from that E3 in magazines!
Great summary of where we were at that year! I was mainly playing PC games or enjoying my Dreamcast backlog (games were going cheap) so it would be another year before I fell all in on the gamecube - but I was watching and suddenly the console went from a novelty some of my friends had to something very exciting
I was also still enjoying the glut of Dreamcast clearance for most of 2002. My GameCube wouldn’t arrive until Xmas that year!
I'm going to wait for SpongeBob or Pokemon
25:20 The PS2 going nuts, haha.
21:08 And then almost a decade later he tried that again with Skyward Sword and it went horrendously, lol. Also $35 for a “more expensive” controller… I miss those low prices, lol.
I've been binging your stuff all week after PandaMonium recommended your videos on his Patreon (and my friend mentioned wishing someone did what he does for Saturn games, but for GameCube games). Your work is quite excellent. I feel extra-attached as this was around the time I was checking the videogame websites every day and kept up with the news. Especially with the older E3s, it's fun to see games in earlier states and see what they became, or what could've been. I remember that price drop too. $200 was when little kid me was "OK" with saving up for a PS2, so when that news dropped, it was ON. Lo and behold, I got a GameCube that same year too. I'm excited to see more of your work! Keep it up! P.S. I added that song to my Spotify playlist. Way too catchy!
Thank you so much! Love to hear word of mouth came from someone I hold in as high regard as Pandamonium! And also glad to hear a new Sub-Radio fan has been made!
What is wrong with the algorithm for this channel? One of the few I have notifications for, and my backlog is huge.
Oh yea I have little idea how the notification system works (or doesn’t) if it helps I set my videos to go live every 2 weeks on Fridays at 5pm. Next one is this coming Friday Aug 9!
we really almost got pacman luigi's mansion
I think this was one I bought and then returned fairly quickly. As a kid I just didn't "get" how it was supposed to work. Its been on my "need to get again" list for quite some time though - I think I might have a better time with it now!
I would 100% not have been able to wrap my head around this as a kid.
this game is timeless classic can be played now or in 100 years it will still be insanely good i rember as kid how much i had to focus to finish last cup on max speed specs
One of my all time favorite gamecube series. I played the second game a lot more because it had post game foes and levels. Would love to see Fromsoft try their hands at this more fairytale style again in the future.
I always heard about this one, but I wasn't fully interested in it because I was waiting for like...more traditional JRPGs to hit the GameCube. This is like the first time we got a taste of any RPG really it seems like. While the system didn't get a lot of RPGs, it did get a few really classics of its own! I cannot wait for you to get to things like Skies of Arcadia, Baten Kaitos and of course my favorite GameCube game, Tales of Symphonia! (I feel the synergy of the original system from the way you're doing this project, it's like back in the 2000s when I was desperately waiting for those said RPGs to hit the cube, while looking at things like this, to see if I really wanted to give the first taste or not a go)
I also cannot wait to get to Skies of Arcadia. It’s one of my favorite games of all time and a childhood favorite from the Dreamcast
i love this game
I was always intrested in this game as kid just from the cover when i was thumbing through a holiday EB magazine but never got around to trying it i had no clue it was a card RPG
Be prepared, this is just the start of a parade of Card RPGs on the GameCube
@@ChronCube Well i look forward to your coverage of them then good sir
Great video for a great game! ... Looking forward to you (eventually) getting to Tomb Raiders gamecube debut. The other PS previous gen exclusive finally opening up multiplat. But... A way to go first though 😂
I believe that’s a 2006 release, that’ll….be a while
@@ChronCube It's not last... but, by then you'll have less than 10 to go!
raaah! Two of my special interests collide! Lovely stuff. Also appreciating the Parodious mention, such a fun game. I had no idea this one was a Fromsoft game, I totally skipped it at the time. Give how much I love their modern ouevre, I really should dig into their back catalogue myself.
I myself am actually a total outsider to FromSoftware so I hope I do them justice. I really liked this one even if I’m not good at it.
Kinda sounds like Phantom Dust.
From what I’ve heard of Phantom Dust that’s pretty spot on!
I always wanted to play this game back in the day, but yes, years later when I finally picked it up it felt ever so slightly too basic for an old hand. Kids first platformer vibes - perfectly solid but little challenge
I’ll certainly admit to having good solid mindless fun with it, but yea certainly on the basic side for sure
i rented Lost Kingdom when i saw the advertisement in nintendo power because the artwork looked great and i was not disappointed because around that time i was obsessed with Yu-gi-oh so having another game involving cards was awesome for me. i still really enjoy this game but i really need to play the 2nd one as its been on my list for years. but yeah i can understand that it wont be for everyone since it can be a bit tough to grasp for how different it plays for an action RPG i do think it is interesting that the gamecube did not get a ton of RPGs but a lot of them involve cards in some way. also that dreamcast game framegride is a really fun game.
Would you believe I had Frame Gride in my library since a trip to Japan in 2017 and this is the first time I’ve actually played it? 😅
@@ChronCube sometimes the backlog can do that lol
If Gamecube was 128 Bit, then that would mean PS3, 360, and Wii would be 256 Bit. PS4, Xbone, and Wii U is 512 Bit, and PS5, Xbone 2.0, and Switch is 1024 Bit. And PS6, Xbone 3.0, and Switch U will be 2048 Bit....
Wake up everyone, new GameCube video drop.
Nice to see ya keep going. This is only getting my curiosity ready for more Resident Evil on this channel and other M-Rated stuff that the GameCube tried to secure.
It’s one of the more interesting aspects of the GameCube era to me. Working on the Eternal Darkness episode now. So more to come soon!
Hey ChronCube, I've a request and idea for you
It couldn't have taken that much more effort to enable 480p the same way many other games did back then, some publishers like capcom just didn't seem to push it. You can tell by just how easy it is to force these games to progressive using swiss.
Yea I’m not sure what exactly the self imposed development requirements are for 480p. Swiss can force almost all of them and Capcom went on to have progressive scan for RE0 and RE4. I’ve also seen interviews with the Monkey Ball developers saying they didn’t have time to do 480p for the first game but made sure to include it in the second game. Maybe it’s a QA thing that that they needed to make sure it wouldn’t break anything? I’d really like to get an answer to this sometime. Fingers crossed 🤞
Very much a nerd about the component cables with The GameCube, as I have my own set. So I get rather curious about which games have component support and which ones don't.
I think there’s still a a good wiki style list floating around for “GameCube games with alternative video modes” or something like that. Should list all the ones that have 480p support
This version of the first Resident Evil game would later be the base for the 2015 HD remasters.
💯
The Gamecube is so great. Another solid video, thanks so much for it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I remember my mom bought the RE1 remake when we got a GameCube and after we played it and screamed she returned it for Super monkey ball 😫
Been there. RE2 was the first game that scared the f*%# out of me as a kid. 😂
Biohazard Intro >>>>>>>> RE1 Intro
I have to arbitrarily pop up for a Kid Icarus reference. When you said "not that Icarus", I went "...aww...dang it" (I am a huge Kid Icarus fangirl lol)
I recently picked up this game from a mall retro selling gathering, it was basically untouched and I saw it had decent reviews and was cheap, so why not. Should try it out sometime.
I keep getting a GameCube kick every so often and I usually want to hear about more than just the usual favorites, all kinds of games for it, just because it's a weird gem of a system of my favorite company. I will be checking out this channel more.
Thank you so much! I get all kinds of different kicks for different systems. But I’ve resolved to try and stick to churning out GameCube content consistently!
Always a good day when we get a ChronCube episode
Release days are always a red letter day for me as well ✌️
Canon started Criterion?! Mind blown.
You never know what you’ll find when you dig into things. Every game has a story to tell 👍
Dude these are great. Keep up the good work!
Thanks it’s great when the games I get to cover are also excellent and fun!
Eeeeeeverything I haaaaaad I want I want it back I want I want it back!
Always happy to make new Sub-Radio fans!
This was one my friend had that I ended up skipping, probably for the best. The sequel is absolutely legendary though! Can’t wait for your video on that one!
I’ve actually never played the second one. Always heard amazing things over the years. Looking forward to it but it’s gunna be a while
@@ChronCube You're in for a treat! One of the best sequels in comparison to the original game that I can think of
You sound like you’ve helped cj through a few missions
I have fond memories of this game, one of my very first gamecube games as a kid, i still remember playing one of the first levels where youre fighting crooks in a warehouse and playing until my eyes burned. Good times
I just want to express how well produced and researched your content is. I have subscribed and will look forward to future releases, but I have one question: Have you considered a new intro? Your current one is a bit loud and energetic, but that is just my opinion.
Hey thanks for the kind words and for subscribing! On the matter of the intro, I’m personally a bit attached to the song as the band that gave permission for it was a good inspiration for me starting making my own content. I’ve gotten mostly good feedback on it but have had one or two people comment on it being a bit loud and the show being bedtime content for them. When I get closer to completion on whole years of this project I think I’ll compile them into a bigger longer video that’ll likely omit the theme song or otherwise be a bit more subdued and documentary like. I hope that insight at least helps a bit. 🙏
