  • I forgot how absolutely weird and insane old gamecube commercials were. There's the cute, funny Super Mario Sunshine and Animal Crossing costume commercial, and then there's other ones like Metroid Prime, Eternal Darkness, the Mario Party commercials the Legend of Zelda the Wind Waker, and more. Let's watch, review, and react to them.

    Geist was a western-developed game that was published by Nintendo. It was a first person shooter where you played as a ghost who could possess objects, animals, and people. Nintendo wanted this to be their Halo-killer, but it ended up being a pretty meh shooter that had some interesting but poorly executed ideas.

    • @rescuerex7031

    • @DylanYoshi
      @DylanYoshi Рік тому +2

      @@rescuerex7031 There's certainly parts of it that I like, as some of the puzzles are pretty cool. But the actual shooter gameplay I found to be pretty generic. Granted, I'm not huge on shooters to begin with (love me some TimeSplitters though) and am not huge on Halo either, but I found Geist to be particularly awkward.
      It has been quite a while since I've played it, so maybe my opinion would change if I played it now... But it's definitely not the Halo killer Nintendo wanted it to be.

    But they both share the orb mechanic which I enjoyed immensely. Kept the boards fresh each time you play, added personal flair to everyone's turns tiptoeing around your spaces, and another strategy to use your coins besides stars.

She loves riding on the back of the kart while I drive, and she controls using the power-ups, doing the mini-turbos, and punching opponents as they try to pass. It's the most fun we have in ANY video game. BRING BACK THE DOUBLE DASH COMPONENT!!
