I wasn't gonna leave a "well actually" comment, but since you brought it up... 2:30 You keep using "gyro" interchangeably with the general concept of motion controls. But _actually_ gyro is just one type of motion controls. The vanilla Wiimote and PS3 controllers didn't have a gyro, but instead relied on accelerometers. Short version: accelerometers are good at sensing general directional movement, but are imprecise, and not great at sensing rotation. Whereas gyros are very good at sensing rotation, but cannot sense directional movement, and are more subject to drift. I think in the mid-2000s, gyros were still relatively expensive, and that's why the Wii and PS3 controllers only had accelerometers. But the lack of gyro was why most early motion controls were, uh... well, bad. That's the reason for the Wii MotionPlus. It was basically just a gyro you plugged into the Wiimote to make the motion controls actually good. And gyro + accelerometers has been the standard ever since, not just for Nintendo, but also Playstation, smartphones, VR, the Steam controller and Steam Deck... basically everyone except Xbox. tl;dr if the PS3 actually did have gyro, maybe Lair wouldn't have been so bad.
As a proud GameCube modem owner since 2002, I'm not surprised to learn that NoA was pushing NoJ to actually do something with online functionality, and that NoJ was basically covering their ears and screaming "LALALALA" in response. Between that, Perrin Kaplan begging them not to make purple the default color in the US, and Reggie trying to stop them from releasing Donkey Konga, it sounds like Nintendo in the GCN years had a minor case of the same disease Sega did in the Saturn era.
I'm supprised you didn't show the gc controller with a whole keyboard in it that was used for Phantasy Star Online. It's so funny looking that I look it up every so often to remind myself that it's real
Surprised you didn't mention the little "disc eject" button that almost no one ever uses, or that you can remove the black GameCube logo disc from the top of the disc tray. Those are probably the most hidden feature on the GameCube, and I found them both accidentally.
I've still got DK Bongos in my storage unit... they're covered in sharpie notes about what happens when you hit the bongo in that spot, which I think was for Jungle Beat. My sister did it, I don't remember.
At this point, you should just make a video about Taiko no Tatsujin... I think nobody would even complain and if they do... well, it'll just mean there's still someone to convert and we're just gonna have to shout "TAIKO NO TATSUJIN" at them every 10 seconds. Just another Tuesday for an average Taiko no Tatsujin fan.
I played Jungle Beat on the gamecube, probably one of the funniest games i played on the console, the clapping was a bit annoying as it used to make it difficult to play, as i could mostly only play it after completing my coursework, but the game was definitely fun, although you could tell the post game content, was mostly just filler.
Thank god UA-cam finally recommended a good, new channel. I love this. Subscribed. Please consider making long-form in-depth content. You would be amazing at that.
If that second part isn't a joke and this isn't a bot comment (you can't be sure anymore!), I have wonderful news for you when you start browsing most of my videos!

Can you elaborate more on what you meant in that second paragraph? Especially the part about sega during the dreamcast years?

This controller is third party (made by Askii or sammy) but licenced by Nintendo
@@Dudex11a every time I see that I lament that it didn’t work for animal crossing lol writing letters sucks

...wait, most people *don't* use the disc eject button???
1:01 do i hear a soundbyte from Kendrick Lamar's new album
also "or the PS5's games" XD
I can't go anywhere without hearing that "MUSTAAAAAAARD" sound anymore. I thought iwas losing it for a sec 😂
Gotta love how the Wii, 3DS, and Switch were all just outlets for Nintendo's GameCube plans

Your Taiko no Tatsujin cry for help feels eerily familiar as my bf is obsessed with this series
Ayeee, Golden Bolt talking about the GameCube! This is perfect!
The first of many 👀
It’s the Nintendo Shitcube!
Remember that one? 😂
Hes backkkkk. This is gonna be a good 20+ minutes.
It's a good month when The Golden Bolt posts.
A lot of cool stuff I learned.

Great way to start Thanksgiving!
Sweet, a brand new golden bolt video

I bought a copy of homeland recently at a retro game shop, it's a very silly game so far. Glad to hear there's still a dedicated community for it
First 5 mins of a golden bolt video? Don’t mind if I do.

Jtar9 would be that friend you had to block.
