Episode Notes:
1. Captured on real hardware.
2. Games that support progressive scan are using it here.
3. There are a handful of Japanese releases I chose not to cover because I don't own them and they have heavy Japanese text.
4. The Gamcube was one of Nintendo's least successful mainstream consoles. Selling a little over 20 million units, only the Wii U was worse.
5. The Gamecube had a huge problem with 3rd party support. Sega wasn't the only one to slow releases after 2003.
6. Gamecube collecting has become incredibly expensive. Some of the more rare games can be prohibitively expensive. Even a complete copy of something like Skies of Arcadia is up over $100 now.
7. Please note that The Ooze and Comix Zone were only available in the Japanese release of Sonic Mega Collection. I initially overlooked that until someone in the comments brought it up. - Ігри
Please note that The Ooze and Comix Zone were only available in the Japanese Gamecube version of Sonic Mega Collection.
Is this why the video was made private for bit? 🤣
Actually it was. I thought about taking it down and editing it but thought better of it.
@@SegaLordX Thanks for the reply! I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work!
WOW
Gonna add, I believe they were also available on the PS2/Xbox versions, Sonic Mega Collection Plus.
Sonic Gems is surprisingly running the later PC version of Sonic R. Travellers Tales refined the gameplay a bit in the PC port and also added a day, night and winter version of each track.
Sonic CD is PC version too
@@robertomillan5536 the giveaway for that with us Europeans is the US soundtrack. Sonic CD on the Mega CD used the JP soundtrack, but the PC version used the US soundtrack for whatever reason.
@@iCABALi I didn't mind, I like both OST.
Hello, you!
I never realized the Saturn version didn't have those things, I had it on PC as a kid
Ah, the best in retro gaming content covering the Gamecube.
Thank you!
I love this "on third party console" series. Thank you always for the great content!
Glad you enjoy it!
Agreed!
As soon as you started the 3rd party series I got hyped for this console.
Lots more to cover. PS2 has a massive Sega library.
@@SegaLordX Great episode SLX! Really enjoyed it. I'm assuming the next one will be SEGA on the PS2?
It's in the works.
@@SegaLordXI’m so excited to hear your take on altered beast lol
Getting sonic advance for gba and sonic adventure 2 on the GameCube the same day was a huge deal for video gaming in general
Sega Soccer Slam was a very underappreciated and overlooked game from that era.
Still play it with friends. Great multiplayer game.
Great game. Sega should have put sega characters in the game. Probably would have sold better.
Gosh that's a throwback. Need to dig it out and play with the bro, very fun game
Definitely requires friends in the room
It should also be considered that Mario Strikers (also known as Mario Smash Football in Europe) is suspiciously similar and came out three years later.
This console made me a Sega fan. After playing Sonic Adventure 2 on GC and Jet Set Radio Future on Xbox I went and bought a Dreamcast…and then a Genesis CDX and then a Saturn. Love Sega
Love the gamecube so much. Had the xbox as a kid and got the cube as an adult. The cube just has so much charm. Love the games on it
Metroid Prime series comes to mind immediately when thinking about the world "charm."
@@HeathenDance great game
Would kill for a Skies of Arcadia re-master. Would even take the rom of either version wrapped in a emulator shell for my switch 😥
A Skies of Arcadia re-release is at the top of my list of things I hope Sega announces every year.
the GameCube Version is beyond reason in price. Glad to got my hands on a Dreamcast Version
Playing Sega titles on a Nintendo console felt so damn strange to me at the time. But their Gamecube stuff was just fantastic and remains amongst the games I most enjoy playing on that system. Thanks for another great episode.
Back when the GameCube released, it felt so weird to have Sega games on a Nintendo console! I owned a handful of these games and they were really fun! I didn't realize how many games Sega actually put out for the Cube!
I actually would love to see Nintendo allow Sega to take another crack at the F-Zero series. F-Zero GX was quite the adrenaline rush! Easily one of my favorite racing games during the sixth generation!
F-Zero games are great. At least the SNES, N64 and Gamecube. Never played the portable ones. I remembered being disappointed like a motherfucker, when I got Super Mario Kart. It had awesome reviews, and I was used to F-Zero, and was like: "THIS IS BORING AND SLOW. AND THE TRACKS DESIGN SUCK ASS."
Yeah i had so much fun with GX. F-Zero has laid dormant for over a decade, would love to see it resurrected on the Switch since it'll be around for a couple more years. Sega did a fantastic job on that game and it's my favorite in the series. Wipeout Nintendo Style!
I think it's still good, all it needs is a remaster... That or just let SEGA make another F-Zero.
I'd prefer 34BigThings srl to make a new F-Zero.
Better yet, Sega should just make their own F-zero "clone". They have the code for GX and AX, replace nintendo related stuff with Sega content and they're set. Just imagine it on something like ps5 and series x, pc too.
So many UA-cam creators have tons of filler in their videos and here comes Sega Lord X with nothing but pure top-tier substantial content. Thank you for another great video!
Game Sack and Sega Lord X, no fat, all juice.
@@Skellotronix A man of fine taste.
Keep up this third party series, they're really interesting! Thanks man!
Glad you like them!
*Skies of Arcadia* NEEDS a remaster or remake
A remake for sure.
Legends was very much a remaster, still i agree.
It was thanks to the Gamecube that I got my fill of some Sega goodies on that system. It was around that time when I went through two, maybe three, Dreamcast consoles due to one issue or another before our family picked up a Gamecube. It was nice to have experienced some Dreamcast ports like Skies of Arcadia (Sega’s last great RPG, in my opinion) and Phantasy Star Online on the purple machine.
Even better was seeing that partnership between Nintendo and Sega for F-Zero GX, and boy, I wish we could get another entry in that series. I think it’s worth noting with that game is that it’s one of a good handful of Gamecube released titles that supports a widescreen aspect ratio. So worth it!
The Super Monkey Ball games are heavily underrated, I'm so happy you included them in the list of must-own games on the Gamecube!
I don't know about it being underrated, more "underrated". They were very well received critically by the majority and sold really well with both becoming Players Choice titles.
@@jediknightgeo Despite those conditions, they don't seem to be as talked about as other major SEGA franchises. Also you said underrated twice so I imagine you meant to say something like "overlooked" ^^
@@SuperKoopateam Yes I said it twice with one being in quotation marks menaing it isn't underrated, as they aren't. If people don't talk about them as much then yes the word you're looking for is overlooked.
yeah, one of those things people call underrated but mean overlooked. i've never heard anyone call SMB "okay." every mention is met with praise.
It still amazes me how so many Gamecube games run at 60fps! Thanks a lot for you hard work.
It's not called the 6(0fps)th generation of consoles for nothing
Funny how Sega took a Nintendo IP (F-Zero), made a great installment, and Nintendo has ignored it ever since
They need to bring F-Zero and Wave Race, those were real games!
2 gba games came out after and the fans completely ignored them despite being good games so can’t blame Nintendo on that one
they got so embarrassed and the game cant be improved upon, Nintendo has gone on record saying that they only do sequels that they feel brings a significant difference to make it worth doing, and that's really a shame as F-Zero GX needs to at least be re-released with some QoL features, including the Racers and Tracks from the elusive arcade machine.
Nintendo could bring GX and AX out in a combo pack for Switch. Leave the others in the series as unlockable.
@@SegaLordX I'd buy that happily
I spent hundreds of hours playing Phantasy Star Online. It’s highly addictive.
ive watched so many of your videos that your intro video gives me a warm fuzzy feeling everytime i hear it. i know a great video is about to follow. thank you!
You're literally one of the best gaming channels on UA-cam. I've learned so much about Sega through you and now have an appreciation of the Saturn and other Sega consoles.
I've been a Sega guy since I got my first video game console which was a Sega Genesis when I was 14. Later on in life I got into retro collecting and rebuilt my Genesis collection. I now also collect Sega titles on other consoles like the PS2 and original Xbox etc. So, this type of video helps. Thank you for making the video.
There were some good sega games on GameCube for sure but I will say sega had a bigger impact on the Xbox, ps2 and probably even the gba
Be good to see you make one for Sega on the Gameboy Advance, Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS.
Let’s not forget SEGA on the GameBoy Advance! Just as amazing as SEGA on the Nintendo GameCube.
Third party Sega delivers the goods.
SEGA was amazing EVERYWHERE after they become a Third Party Developer.
I still know how amazed I was seeing Sonic (!!!) in Smash Bros. Brawl.
They just shine ever since.
Skies of Arcadia legends is one of my favorite games of all time. Truly unforgettable. I’m happy to still have it and my GC.
Personally grew up with the gamecube so nostalgia for it holds no bounds. It was the console I played my first sonic on! And sega soccer slam is underrated as hell
Awesome video SLX! Can't wait to see more like this!
Nice to see all Gamecube Sega games in motion in one video, thank you!
So happy about the brand SEGA survived after the Dreamcast and still makes awesome games these days (the Yakuza series are my favorite modern SEGA games).
Seeing all of these appearing on a Nintendo system must have been a surreal time for lifelong Sega fans. Doubly so for the "There's only room in my heart for Sega" ones.
Brilliant content as always,been watching your videos now for ages and they just get better.Love the Game Cube especially with Sega putting there games on there.
Awesome as always. Thanks for the constant content. You rule brother!
Another great video. I look forward to seeing where else you take with this "Sega on other platforms" series.
Gamecube got some pretty good games by Sega, definitely one of the strongest third parties on the system (especially from Japan) but at the same time is hard not to see that it got the short end of the stick by them, since it missed some of their multiplatform titles like those sports sims from 2003 and 2004 as well as Outrun 2006, got less exclusives than the other 2 and it also lost more exclusives, since there were very few Xbox and PS2 exclusive games by Sega that ended up ported to other systems, but that's not the case with the GC which lost Mega Collection or Monkey Ball.
Back in the 90s, nobody would have thought this would ever happen a decade later.
But these days SEGA games on a Nintendo Console is almost like a natural progression.
Loved Beach Spikers, Super Monkey Ball 2, Skies of Arcadia as well as Sonic Mega Collection.
Played SEGA Soccer Slam up until Mario had his own Soccer game with Mario Smash Football.
You made my heart flow. thank you so much for covering my childhood console.
I was so pissed when Sega dropped their sports games from Gamecube, having been a Dreamcast owner since launch and only owning a Gamecube up until maybe 2005 when I got a PS2.
LOVE these videos. Love all your videos lol this is by far one of the best channels on YT for my “Sega kid” self 💙 Thank you for the hard work you put in
I had a Playstation 2 and my brother got the nintendo GameCube. We were having a blast with such a variety of Sega titles! The hardware was gone but the software still gave Sega a home for us! Great review yet again SLX!
You’ve been knocking it out the park with the videos! PSO is one of my GOATs. Myself and my friends dropped 100s of hours into it.
thanks for the info as always I enjoy your takes on sega software on other consoles, I hope you continue this series
Great vid SLX! I never got my cancelled port of Skies of Arcadia for the PS2. At least I obtained the soundtrack and it was one of THE best soundtracks around!
Sonic Adventure 2, F-Zero GX, Super Monkey Ball... Gamecube was truly a great console for Sega!
And xbox
Thank you! Excellent video.
I'm still hoping Sega does a 180 and gives us a Dreamcast 2 someday.
When the Gamecube came out, I was 16 years old, and only cared about playing guitar, and left new videogames on standby. But I remembered, as one of the biggest surprised of my life, to see SEGA games on Nintendo's new consoles ahah. "WTF?!" In recent years I bought the Gamecube, mostly because of Metroid Prime, but I'm glad to get some tips on cool games from Sega for the system.
The F-Zero GX part of this video reminds me that Sega made the best game in that series, and it was so good Nintendo apparently hasn't even tried to make a new one since. Maybe because they know that Sega does with F-Zero what Nintendon't.
F-Zero GP Legends and F-Zero Climax were made after that one just that both were made for GBA. Technically Nintendo ran out of idea for that series.
Great episode SEGA Lord X.
GameCube and Dreamcast were my favorite systems that generation.
Billy Hatcher also stealth released on PC/Mac in Europe. It was a surprise to me when I found a copy on a store shelf going cheap!
Awesome video! Gonna try out some of these games
Sega's decision to spread out on all other plattforms after the Dreamcast flopped was a masterful decision. Businesswise? I have no idea since I have no insights how well it went for them and I was to lazy to google analytics.
But for fans of gaming in general? SO MUCH WIN!
Thanks Sega!
great video. i remember this twilight period of classic Sega well. I grew up with the Genesis but never had a Saturn and the DC just didn't jive with me. I had the PSX and later the Gamecube and Xbox. So i played a lot of these games between the Xbox and GC and had a blast. Crazy Taxi, 18 Wheeler, Sonic Adventure1/2/gems, F-Zero, Home Run King, Arcadia... and on Xbox it was Panzer Dragoon and Outrun 2 all the way. It was the last time Sega felt like Sega to me. I recently picked up a Japanese Saturn with flash cart so i'm looking forward to exploring Sega's 32bit library - i heard it was awesome.
I was always mainly a Nintendo fan so it was a dream come true to see Sega games on Gamecube. Sonic Adventure 2 and Skies of Arcadia became some of my favorite games of all time.
I think I know where this series is going next and I'm ecstatic. Sega had a HUGE presence on the PS2, and I'm ready to see your take on it.
Nice Transitions!
Beach Spikers is an outstanding game! Only released in the arcades and on the Nintendo Gamecube!
I didnt know it was a arcade game. I thought since it had the rpg elements it was console only. Plus, arcades in the US were dead by this time so how many people played it there ?
@@Chaz4543 I believe the arcade version was only in Japan and the RPG elements were probably added to "consolize" the game for GameCube.
I remember when I got my Nintendo GameCube in 2006 the first games I got was The Legend of Zelda the WindWaker Sonic Adventure 2 Battle & both Sonic’s Mega Collection & Gems Collection. As u can tell I’m a huge Sonic Fan. I also ended up getting Sonic Adventure Dx, Shadow the Hedgehog & Sonic Hero’s
Loved the GameCube and I had the gems collection, beautiful.
F-Zero GX is GOD Tier if you ask me, and thats an incredible feat to top X which was Amazing.
I love how you had the Eagels play the 49er. That game was great on Sunday.
Great work as always.
Seeing Sonic on a Nintendo console was one of the most bizarre things ever back in the day, comparable to the WWF buying WCW. Now you can just buy nearly the entire Sega catalog on the Switch, along with the TurboGrafx-16 (and Night Trap!).
Nintendo need to transfer remaining nec and Sega games from wii store.
@@maroon9273 That is if they still had license for them. Even if they do transfer them to a new platform like the next Nintendo Switch successor they will still charge you for it. You're not getting those for free even if you purchased them before.
You have no idea how popular Virtua Striker was in some countries. In the Middle East, it dominated the arcade scene so having it on Gamecube was a great addition.
It had to feel a bit rough for Sega to have to make games for the company the rivaled with for years.
@MichaelUU Believe it or not, the only Nintendo home console that Sega never made games for was the N64, every other Nintendo console has had at least 3 to 6 Sega games on there. NES had games like Shinobi, Fantasy Zone 1 & 2, Altered Beast, and Space Harrier while Super NES had games like Column, Lady Stalker, Thunder Force 3 (known as Thunder Spirits), and Puyo Puyo. It wasn't until the GameCube that Sonic finally made it to a Nintendo home console.
@@VOAN I wasn't aware of that.
A few weren't released in the US I see.
•NCAA Basketball 2k3 is actually one of the rarer games on the console due to production being cut midway through its first production cycle.
•Sonic CD and Sonic R's ports on the Gems Collection (I think) are based on the PC version's not the Sega CD and Saturn versions.
Personally pc ports were much better than saturn and CD ports.
@@maroon9273 Especially for Sonic R.
I actually just bought a GameCube recently since Sonic Heroes is turning 19 years old this year and it was one of my first and favorite games as a kid. This video reminds me of how much Sega content I need to aquire for it. Great video as always Sega Lord X
It’s 19?!
@@gracekim25 Yeah, it's 19. Its *20th anniversary* is actually this December in Japan, or early next year for other regions.
How did that happen???
the gamecube was a graphical beast for the time.
Not compared to the Xbox, now that was truly ahead of its time.
Awesome review! I enjoyed my Nintendo gamecube and sega showed it love!
As someone who started gaming in the late 80s, the idea that Sega would develop games for a Nintendo console was mind-blowing. Fzero gx was the absolute pinnacle of their efforts. As someone who grew up loving Nintendo. I now realise how important Sega is to gaming. We desperately need them back developing consoles. They brought such a unique flavour to gaming that's sadly missing.
I agree Sega vs Nintendo back in the day was the best time in gaming for me no disrespect to Sony vs Microsoft I just think it was better back then with Sega and Nintendo
The idea of Sega making games for Nintendo consoles was nothing new though. Sega was making games for Nintendo consoles back then too as both Shinobi and Space Harrier were released for NES in 1989. Sega was as good a third party dev back then even releasing Golden Axe and Altered Beast for the PC Engine as well as Lady Stalker, Thunder Force 3, and Columns for Super NES with Lady Stalker still a Sega Super NES exclusive to this very day. Also Sega mentions time and time again that they don't want to make consoles anymore as there is no point in making one and they aren't sure what new things they could bring to the table that the other 5 (Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, Atari, and EverCade) already did.
Skies of arcadia. What a gem of a game.
I played through that 3 times on my Sega Dreamcast.
I wish they would come out with a remaster or anything on it at this point
I play and complete Skies at least once a year for god knows how long lol. Its my number one favourite of all time.
The only thing keeping me from playing Legends instead of the DC original is the soundtrack. They butchered it in the port, probably due to the lack of disk space. It sounds muffled and like half of the instruments are gone.
the amount of japan only sega games increased heavily going into the later ps2 years and beginning with DS and PSP
Sega of America being Sega of America.They did not know how to market games like Sakura Wars and Yakuza, thinking they were too-japanese
I wondered why Super Monkey Ball never made it to the Dreamcast during 2001? I mean yeah the Dreamcast was dead, but games were still appearing on that console. I find it strange that the Dreamcast was still going until 2002, maybe it should’ve kept on going until 2006 or 2007. But I digressed, it was probably best to be discontinued, but at the same time, it made wish it would keep on continuing producing games till the seventh generation.
Playing Sonic games on the GameCube were the fondest memories of my childhood.
As someone who didn't have a Dreamcast or Saturn while they were on the market I especially loved finally getting so much Sega content on all three platforms that generation. For GC Super Monkey Ball was a hit I didn't expect to love so much and getting the Sonic games and Skies of Arcadia that I missed out on were the highlights in the 00s.
Great content as always 👏
I love this series of videos! 👏🎮
Never seen Virtua Quest before. That's a new one for me. Thanks SLX!
great episode!
Awesome video good sir!
I am so glad I got most of these over a decade ago before GameCube prices shot up. I payed $20 for Skies of Arcadia Legends and now it's over ten-times that.
Out of curiosity, do you think Sega could have turned things around for the company if they did everything right with the Dreamcast (DVD player included, not lose EA support, and prevent the massive privacy)? The company was in really bad straights by then and I don't know.
See the thing is the dreamcast sold pretty well. It just got murdered by the ps2 and the game piracy didnt help.
it definitely deserves that price gouge, it's a one of a kind RPG that all these years later has never been copied. i enjoyed that game so damn much, i completed it with max level characters and full elements.
Yesss I was waiting for this
Cool concept of Sega third party games! Awesome episode! Great job here!
Spartan Total Warrior is a game I've come back to time and time again. Good times
Loved the Gamecube. Sonic Adventure 2 Battle and Phantasy Star Online were probably my two most played games on the system (thousands of hours between the two of them). My wife and I played them both together quite a bit, especially PSO and the Chao Garden in Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. It's worth mentioning that not only did both those games have the GBA connectivity feature, but you could actually unlock stuff in PSO with the GBA content from Sonic. F-Zero GX was actually the result of a threesome with Nintendo, Sega, and Namco (the same partnership that built the Mario Kart Gran Prix multi-cabinet arcade racer), and you could bring your Gamecube memory card to the arcade and use your data on the cabinet and vice versa. NCAA Basketball 2K3 is actually one of the priciest games in the North American Gamecube library nowadays...
Sonic Adventure 2 Battle is my absolute favorite of these, i never did get to try Phantasy Star Online Episodes 1&2 though, but I AM a fan of the Online Multiplayer Phantasy Star titles.
Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg. Sounds silly at first, but trust me it is a fun game.
Super Monkey Ball 1 and 2 were my first ever SEGA games (since I was born in the early 2000s). They were very difficult, but me and my family still had a blast playing them, especially the Party games.
Man I'm absolutely digging these videos!!! Can't wait for the earlier PS2 SEGA games that I've no doubt forgot about!! Kick Ass SLX🤘😎
Spartan Total Warrior is a must play. It's proper difficult and kind of has a bootleg Shadow of the Colossus-hack and slash feel. The AI in the game isn't bad either. It would be cool to see a video on its development.
Looks like an early God of War game. Must give it a try!
@@PhilipMarcYT yeah, God of War owes a lot to STW.
Two words: Beach Spikers. Nuff said.
Awesome game.
@@SegaLordX Sega really rocked the Cube. Thanks for making a great video.
Dealing with worst cold right now. Thanks for helping take my mind of it
More Fzero GX and AX content!! Would be great to see a whole video on that
we still have the 2 monkey ball games and sonic collection on the gamecube! great video as always
I bought Beach Spikers because of this video. Thanks for bringing this gem to my attention.
really wanted beach spikers on my xbox back in the day, was a huge dreamcast fan so was always on the look out for the sega games that game out on the other consoles. Now steam is the place to do for sega games for me now.
Beach Spikers love! I don't see why they never ported this, or a quick remaster with online play,easy money.
They have no hardware but they have tanned beach babes, love it.
FZero GX is probably the best thing they did as a third part dev. They got the chance to work on a classic IP that wasn’t one of their own, but in a genre that they have a very rich history. Everything about it is great and that is probably one of the factors behind them not continuing the series after it. Which is a huge shame for the series, but Nintendo desperately needs to remaster GX and put it on the switch.
This episode remind me that I did a partial run of Virtua striker v3 with a coach named "$3x at all" and had a blast with the dialogue
Great idea for SEGA beyond the standard first party stuff, love this direction
Skies of Arcadia Legends was a fantastic RPG. One of my favorites.
Sega on the gamecube is a brilliant idea 💡. 😀👍🎮
