Estimating the amount of games on here, I'd say roughly a 3rd of the Gamecube library has this mark, so it'd be fine cause of the large inconsistentcy. Now the Wii library on the other hand, barely has 100 games on this budget design choice, so that's something that would annoy them.
@@TheJadeFist yup. Half the time I don’t even mind if the manual is missing. Had the chance to buy a complete Sonic Adventure 2 at a shop the other day, but they also had the player’s choice with no manual for $15 cheaper. I played it all the time as a kid and don’t need any instructions; in this case, that $15 is more valuable to me than the manual/black label version ;) Plus, as Nathaniel pointed out, the manual for that game is in black and white anyway. I’m sure many would disagree with me, and I get that too. Obviously, if I had a complete collection and had the choice to switch all the yellow labels for black ones free of charge, I would take it… but those are both crazy hypotheticals.
One minor correction: The Twin Snakes is only a remake of MGS1, not 1 and 2; but it does add gameplay mechanics from 2, such as hanging from ledges, and first-person aiming.
One thing I love about the Players Choice version of Pac-Man World 2 is that it includes Pac-Man vs. as a bonus, which in itself is one of the best multiplayer GameCube games
I actually have pac man world 2 player choice on my gamecube unfourtally i don't have a game boy advance cable to connected to the gamecube and either don't have a gameboy advance to play pac man vs

I miss the old days with GameCube games and all of my 19 friends playing Mario Kart: Double Dash with the Lan Adapter and Super Smash Bros: Melee I swear GameCube was a fun time and I miss those days
I feel ya. Never got to have a LAN party of my own, but man was DD with my bro and/or my best friend such a great time. If another new MK ever happens (though not looking likely, seeing the last Direct), I can only dream it has Double Dash as a mode.
Actually, Animal Crossing _was_ released on the Nintendo 64 (as a regular cart rather than a 64DD disk), it was called Dōbutsu no Mori, or “Animal Forest”. Only in Japan, though.

NB said “I think at this point we’re all aware of what Animal Crossing is it started on the GameCube even though it was planned for Nintendo 64 disk drive” he holds up a disk drive because Animal Crossing was going to be planned for the disk drive but Nintendo probably delayed it
Fun fact; As far to my knowledge, that Zero costume was never actually released. In fact, Megaman X Collection on PS2 and Gamecube advertises unreleased stuff like Candy Pens, Gumball Machines, and even an 8" figure of X with candy in his leg
12:52 That's because it wasn't originally a star fox game. It was a game called Dinosaur Planet that was meant to be released on the N64 and was made by RareWare.
3:06 Wrong. That art style that Yuji Uekawa used for the characters were not based off of Sonic Adventure 2. That style was used for the first game on the Dreamcast as Sonic's pose is the exact same one on the games case. They also used those renders for the life icon portraits in-game and for promotional purposes. It had nothing to do with SA2.
Crazy remembering just like 2 or so years ago many of these games were a 3rd of these prices. Litterally everyone around early to mid 2020 wanted GameCube
I believe it was 4,500 not 4.5 million, if that were the case I’d REALLY give props to him. I’m still giving props for almost 5,000 dollars spent on this
You should make more of these different types of videos, honestly the challenges and the ranking videos are getting kinda old, this was a refreshing change of pace
No lie, this actually happened. While I was watching the video and got through the part where Nathaniel scanned the Chicken Little coupon at a Target, immediately I got an ad for Target itself lol
Over The Hedge takes a lot of storage probably because the game has a bunch of dedicated bonus modes like Golf, RC Car Racing and more on top of a pretty decently sized story mode. Over The Hedge is one of the most underrated movie-tie in games of all time and I recommend you playing it.
Actually, I think there is a reason for the order the Adventure games are listed in: they’re going by release order. Sonic Adventure 2 Battle was released first in late 2001 and early-mid 2002 depending on region, likely because that was the latest mainline game (Sonic Advance was released the same day as SA2B in Japan), while SADX was released in mid 2003, so when going by their GameCube release dates, these games _are_ in order. EDIT: Also, while it's true that Animal Crossing was meant for the N64 DD, it was first released on the N64 itself in Japan, then it got a port to the GameCube, which is just how the West was introduced to the series.
Shrek 2 on GBA came with a coupon for a free yogurt I believe. Found a sealed copy at a garage sale a few years ago, along with Shrek 2 on PC, and a Shrek Xbox Controller.
Can we admire the fact that this is a sneaky great deal. The cardboard sets, Paper Mario, Smash, MGS, and the Zeldas is basically your money. Great deal
3:25 I think the reason for this is because it's in the order of when the GameCube ports came out, with Adventure 2 Battle releasing in 2002 and Adventure DX releasing in 2003.
7:25 It's funny to now how they have a whole game called "Sonic Colors" and couldn't even make their manuals have much color on them. I know this was before that came out, but why?
I really haven't thought about tak and the power of juju since I was a kid watching nickelodeon on Saturday mornings. didn't expect that nostalgia-bomb today😂
It was the last console before the Mario sport games took a bit of a dive. I tried to enjoy the Wii version for Mario baseball, but eh. 🤷♂️ The soccer entry was pretty fun on the Wii, though. 😁
I really enjoyed Mario Super Sluggers but a lot of it is probably nostalgia. Not sure if this is the case for superstar baseball but in sluggers I win way too easily on the hardest difficulty. When I played it much younger I found it difficult but now it's very easy for me. Still love it though.
Oh my gosh... so many games in here that I haven't thought about in years. You're making me want to get out my gamecube and play pac-man world 2! that one really was an underrated platformer, and the classic arcade was an awesome addition that really enhanced the overall play experience and gave you incentive to keep playing by requiring you to collect tokens to unlock games. So good. One of my friends had a gameboy advance cable, and we used it to play pac-man versus once (the only time I ever played it). It was fun, basically just a twist on pac-man where you can play as a ghost or as pac-man, so it has actual multiplayer functionality. Plus, it was narrated by Charles martinet, which was an odd but fun little surprise.
@@pacomatic9833 I'm not much of a computer gamer, but I've been curious about dolphin ever since my friend showed me a trailer for a melee rom hack that looked amazing. how is it with macOS?
I definitely understand disliking having both in a collection cause the random yellow spines in a sea of black spines doesn't look as clean. But seeing all the yellow together is just 👌👌👌
NFS Hot Pursuit 2 is a GOAT game honestly, didn't expect it to even be mentioned on this video let alone get player's choice on GameCube though - I hope it gets a remaster some day nonetheless
Funny enough, I once had the Sonic Heroes/Super Monkey Ball Duo Pack. I gave it away because I owned a PS2, not a GameCube. Now I feel stupid for giving it away. 😂
This influences me to widen my variety of GameCube games and even get some other classic Nintendo consoles and videogames, seeing Nathaniel's shelf of all of his games. But this was very fun to watch.
European versions of Resident Evil 4 (along with other 2-disced GameCube games) do have a 2 Discs label, but it is different than the ones on the US RE1 Remake and Zero.
Awesome Nathaniel! The GCN was my first Nintendo console I had when I was 4 and the Monkey Ball and Kirby Air Ride were my first games growing up. I'm now working back towards my collection and I'll guarantee you will enjoy these titles you've wanted to try out!
I hope he can start the “How Cars triggers you” triggered series. I’m just imagining him saying “The animation here is not aging well.” And in the Cars 2 triggered video I’ll bet he’ll say “There’s so many characters and I love it! But no Rip Clutchgonski? Or Lewis Hamilton? Or Rescue Squad Mater? Or Mack?”
When you were going through the 'expensive' games I was wondering where Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance was, until I realized that there was no way that game sold enough to be Player's Choice, lol. Not that it's not good, it's just that obscure Japanese SRPGs weren't that big of a hit in the west at the time. Great video.
Damn Nathaniel, you've must be loaded now with those Gamecube games my friend! Because the Gamecube, along with the original Xbox were my childhood. I didn't get into the PS2 until early 2008, but still the 6th generation consoles have left an impact onto my life.
Uh no. They were never owned by Sony, they were owned by Naughty Dog, then sold to Activision. Then Naughty Dog got bought by Sony after Crash and Spyro got sold. Activision is now owned by Microsoft, so Crash Bandicoot and Spyro are owned my Mircosoft
@@SketchyStudio no. Because back in the 90s Crash was the Sony Mascot and the crash and spyro franchises were released on Microsoft systems after the PlayStation and Nintendo.

I want more videos like this about your game collections for specific consoles... just you rambling about games you like or found interesting for that system, I can't describe it but this video had a really comfy feel, like a friend talking about games with you
Honestly the manual for Wario World is one of the most detailed, over-the-top, and downright fun manuals to look through I think I've ever come across (literally the entire thing is written by Wario, so you can only imagine how crazy THAT must be)!
Surprised nobody seems to have mentioned this yet, but Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes is "only" a remake of MGS 1 using the engine and gameplay features of MGS 2, however MGS 2 itself is not included with this. But to be fair, the wording on the back of the case is somewhat misleading.
That's quite a buy. I was never a fan of Player's Choice (or Platinum on PlayStation) but seeing games with manuals is just nice. I miss that stuff. Why did they ever decide to get rid of them. I'm surprised there are no PC editions for Fire Emblem and Eternal Darkness.
to stop spending paper and that put digital manuals on a dematerialized file (basicaly since PS3/360/Wii U) was easier and way cheaper to do only the wii kept paper manuals (although got shorter over time) because the console and discs were still a bit behind in terms of memory (and that read a manual with a wiimote would've been pain but yea i miss the time (especially during gamecube/PS2 Era) when the manuals were printed and were filled with tips and advanced instructions (and not just the game setting and controls) and even bother adding stuff just to fill lore or get in the vibe of the game it's from nowadays at best you get a control sheet and for the rest it's a digital manual with often pretty bland content and to not help they're hard to notice and easy to glance over
Manuals are obsolete, their function was to explain the games story, explain how to play and sometimes they had a few tips. They were required because games were primitive and had limited memory for storytelling. Modern games don't need manuals, most games are story based and explain their stories via cutscenes and most modern games have interactive tutorials that explain the game better than any manual could. Art books in special editions are the evolution of manuals.
@@Xfiles781 Actually most 360 games come with manuals, dlc codes, or adverts made out of paper. Now you only get DLC codes in some games, and its made out of N64 game box cardboard
UPDATE: Someone stumbled on to this video and reached out willing to sell their copy of Sonic Heroes/Monkey Ball Duo Pack! ...do I buy it?

I actually love Star Fox Adventures more then any traditional Star Fox game, I hope they bring it back to Switch someday i'd love to play it in HD. ♥
i absolutely love the Game cube,its one of the best systems from that era and has some of my favorite games on it too this very day
My biggest issues with Crash Bandicoot: lack of camera control, lack of momentum, and occasional terrible depth perception
First game can get really frustrating a lot of the time. Crash 4 is even harder but let's you play without lives if you want.

My favorite of the original trilogy was always the 3rd game, I don't know why, but I guess it was either because of the hub world or the racing levels, I don't remember
@@benthecat4345 same here, although I only played the remakes.
@@heavydonkeykong5190
I played both the remakes and the original, I've spent the most time in the 3rd game than the first 2 of the originals and I think I've only beaten the 2nd and 3rd games
I want more videos like this about your game collections for specific consoles... just you rambling about games you like or found interesting for that system, I can't describe it but this video had a really comfy feel, like a friend talking about games with you
I second this. I no longer have means to converse with my best friend on this subject matter, so this would be the next best thing.
Watch his game tour
Oooh I love this series and with the amiibo! Please keep this up!
This content is the kind of quality I would expect from someone with a million subscribers
Year
Meh, the only player's choice games I think I have are SSBM and Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour
Bro I'm watching this while playing Pikmin 2 and hearing that Pikmin 2 had been part of the players choice got me so hyped out of nowhere
The Player's Choice was my best moments to buy retro games
I didn't even know these multipacks existed before I saw this
Absolutely amazing intro.
“The sims bustin out” is the best name I ever heard.
I want a poll on how many people here grew up with a Wii or a GameCube
Yes
Honestly the manual for Wario World is one of the most detailed, over-the-top, and downright fun manuals to look through I think I've ever come across (literally the entire thing is written by Wario, so you can only imagine how crazy THAT must be)!
You should do How Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door is Mind Blowing!
Tak and the Power of Juju is indeed a Certified Hood Classic.
Hey! Thats me! lol 3:56
Animal Crossing wasn't just planned for the N64, it still released on it in Japan
Surprised nobody seems to have mentioned this yet, but Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes is "only" a remake of MGS 1 using the engine and gameplay features of MGS 2, however MGS 2 itself is not included with this. But to be fair, the wording on the back of the case is somewhat misleading.
I didn’t even realize you hit 1Mil subscribers! Congrats man!!
That's quite a buy.
I was never a fan of Player's Choice (or Platinum on PlayStation) but seeing games with manuals is just nice. I miss that stuff. Why did they ever decide to get rid of them.
I'm surprised there are no PC editions for Fire Emblem and Eternal Darkness.
to stop spending paper and that put digital manuals on a dematerialized file (basicaly since PS3/360/Wii U) was easier and way cheaper to do
only the wii kept paper manuals (although got shorter over time) because the console and discs were still a bit behind in terms of memory (and that read a manual with a wiimote would've been pain
but yea i miss the time (especially during gamecube/PS2 Era) when the manuals were printed and were filled with tips and advanced instructions (and not just the game setting and controls) and even bother adding stuff just to fill lore or get in the vibe of the game it's from
nowadays at best you get a control sheet and for the rest it's a digital manual with often pretty bland content and to not help they're hard to notice and easy to glance over
Manuals are obsolete, their function was to explain the games story, explain how to play and sometimes they had a few tips. They were required because games were primitive and had limited memory for storytelling. Modern games don't need manuals, most games are story based and explain their stories via cutscenes and most modern games have interactive tutorials that explain the game better than any manual could. Art books in special editions are the evolution of manuals.
Nintendo games will sadly never come to PC officially thank god for emulation lol
@@narukamii1 He meant Player's Choice, not Personal Computer ;D
@@Xfiles781 Actually most 360 games come with manuals, dlc codes, or adverts made out of paper. Now you only get DLC codes in some games, and its made out of N64 game box cardboard
UGH! I HATE IT BECAUSE PLAYERS CHOICE BUT ALSO LOVE IT BECAUSE ITS COMPLETE. I HAVE VERY MIXED FEELINGS.
