Man. This takes me back. I got it christmas 04 and the first 5 games of mine was mario party 4, double dash, the spongebob movie game, sonic adventure 2 battle, and sunshine.

Yeah. Unfortunately after that they kind of slipped into a bland, safe territory, the most underwhelming thing about the switch is by far, the games. I mean.... rehashes that were on the Wii U with maybe a couple new features? Are you kidding??? 🥺
@@legendbtv there are only ten Wii u games though. Switch exclusives are more than 30 now, almost crossing 40. And all those games are great and have done amazing sales
@@rohanrodrigues7115 well I’m not saying those are the only games, but I think Nintendo could spice it up a bit and release more first party titles that are completely original
I disagree, considering the wii became the top 3 of all time in sales. It has a lot of great games, hidden gems, home-brew, backwards compatibility with all GameCube games, and much more. The Wii U definitely not good but great for emulation and portability even.
2:44 the link cable for the Game Boy Advanced has one extremely useful feature for Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: it allows your Game Boy to display a mini map and you can select a room to see anything like guards, bonus items or basically anything
The 3rd party support was worse than the competition/it cant play dvds/there was no online/the mini discs couldn't hold as much space as a standard disc meaning many 3rd parties couldn't be brought over
I love that you finally mentioned the different startup sounds, even though the second startup doesn't have animal crossing sound effect since the end is generic, but still!
Mr Nathaniel Bandy, I bought a GameCube recently, and it arrived today. Why did I want a GameCube? This video, of all things. You know you are a good UA-camr when you actually make someone want to buy a GameCube. You are the best.
I don't know if anybody's mentioned this yet, but that menu music is actually the famicom disk system startup music slowed down! Doesn't get much more mind-blowing than that!
5:58 congrats on enjoying Color Splash! Being my only Paper Mario, I'd say it's very good. Memorable Music, boring story, boring fights, funny side quests and interactions. It was also the first game I did a challenge run for: PMCS All fights. I fought every enime.
1:31 Another mind blowing thing about the menu music: When you speed it up very fast, it's the exact melody from the Famicom Disk System's startup sequence
I still have my GameCube. I modded mine slightly so not only i can play at home, but i can play in the car without the need for an inverter. I still have the Game Boy attachment but i lost the startup disc a long time ago, and I'm pretty sure they're stupid expensive for a replacement disc.
Paper Mario ttyd Super Mario sunshine Twilight Princess Wind waker Mario party 4-7 Animal crossing Dragonball budokai 1-2 Resident evil 4 (at the time was only on GameCube when it first launched) I can go on and on
My childhood was spent with GameCube and I never had known a game like smash existed up until Smash 4 got released and my friend introduced me to it. Smash Ultimate is my first game I've owned of that series and I love it so goddamn much!
So he said name another console that lets you change the music of the start up, well the Nintendo switch does just that. For the start up when you press the same button 3 times, you can press the right trigger or the left trigger to make some funny sounds, you also get some other funny sounds if you press on the left or right joystick.
At the GameCube launch, I waited in the Wal-Mart parking lot from midnight until they opened at 6 am. That's how stoked I was for that console. And damn if I wasn't floored by the graphics of Rogue Squadron. But how was I supposed to know that only like 5 people in my town wanted one at launch and they had probably 150 in stock on day 1.
Shoutout to third party jams like Eternal Darkness, MoH Rising Sun, True Crime Streets of LA, THUG 1 and 2, Simpsons Hit and Run, Soul Calibur II, 007 Nightfire and Agent Under Fire. I know I'm missing a lot of bangers but that's off the top of my head.
Finally! A mind blowing video on my very first console! I grew up on this masterpiece of a system and still play on it, even 10 years later! And in case you didn’t know, the hidden startups aren’t the only secret the cube is hiding! The menu theme is actually a slowed down version of the startup theme to the Famicom Disk System!
Can we Just appreciate all the memories the GameCube gave us, Mario sunshine, Luigi’s Mansion, Pikmin, Spongebob, and even connecting your gameboy/gameboy advance/ gameboy color games to your GameCube? Man, the 2000’s was awesome.
Very thankful that the GameCube was the first Nintendo console that I owned. Super Monkey Ball 1 & 2, Mario Party 6-7, Melee, and Kirby Air ride are my favorites and still own them to this day!
@@noname-jt6kl Yeah, and I may have a nostalgia bias, but objectively, the console is still great. It released upon a time when Nintendo was using it's licenses (which were a lot, especially compared to other consoles at the time), and still respected them. Oh and there's the fact that most games that released in every platforms at the time had their gamecube version (which was more powerful) as the best one, and their PS2 version as the worst, for exemple Sonic Heroes or SoulCalibur 2.
I still have the platinum version to this day, so whenever I want a but of nostalgia I'll boot up my gamecube time to time. Now here's the thing, i play kirby airride AND sonic adventure 1 till I got the " this disc cannot be read" orange notification. Yet, I still have fun with metroid prime (1&2), but i wish they did something with some other games like custom robo. One hell of a game to play with friends if you like mecha and lots of weaponry
For whatever reason most people I knew back in the 2000s did not like the GameCube controller, but yes obviously since then I've realized that might be the greatest controller ever made
0:58 Everybody is saying Switch does this too, but everybody seems to be forgetting the PS2 does something similar at its startup. The tower of blocks rises higher is depending on how much memory is on your memory card.
GameCube was the first console I ever played on, and Mario sunshine will always be one of my most favorite Mario games (along side Mario party ds) because of course it was my first Mario game I played. Brings me back to when me and my brother would take turns playing levels even on animal crossing too. I miss it big time
Contrary to popular belief: The system was not a commercial failure as the media often wants you to think. As the unit itself managed to earn Nintendo a steady profit, while not as large as the PS2’s profitability, it was profitable nonetheless unlike the Original Xbox. There’s a difference between losing to a chief competitor in market share, and being an outright commercial failure.
3:17 every console had it's portable friend. gamecube had the gameboy, wii had the ds and wii u had the 3ds. let's say that the switch is friends with itself
The fact that the GameCube's controller is being supported 3 console generations later is mind blowing, and I can certainly see why it is.
I hear it was more powerful than the PS2. Is that true?

Wow. Never thought I would see you here. I mean, it did introduced you to Animal Crossing.
Reason: AC
The Wii is superior because it can play GameCube games and has its own games. You can use GameCube controllers (though it's wired) and you can use a Wii Remote, and sometimes even the Nunchuck if you insert it.
The most mind blowing fact is that a console with a library this good didn't sell well
Because people wanted dvd players instead of a game console
I took PS2 because I didn't kniw Nintendo existed,I still like PS2 but I wish I knew about GC sooner.

The GameCube is my favorite console ever. Fantastic video, Nate. Also the 4 controller start up sound is Japanese not Chinese.

3:44 "Slappin' your sausages to the music..."

Mr Nathaniel Bandy,
I bought a GameCube recently, and it arrived today. Why did I want a GameCube? This video, of all things. You know you are a good UA-camr when you actually make someone want to buy a GameCube. You are the best.
I don't know if anybody's mentioned this yet, but that menu music is actually the famicom disk system startup music slowed down! Doesn't get much more mind-blowing than that!

Small correction at 6:50. That was the second WarioWare game in the series not the first
GameCube is one of my favorite Nostalgic Nintendo consoles along with the N64 and Wii
Let's be honest, Melee will always and forever be one of the reasons the Gamecube is mind blowing
Paper Mario ttyd
Super Mario sunshine
Twilight Princess
Wind waker
Mario party 4-7
Animal crossing
Dragonball budokai 1-2
Resident evil 4 (at the time was only on GameCube when it first launched)

That was a very good mind blowing, also you forget that the menu theme is the NES startup but much slower.

Nathaniel: says delfino plaza is a bop
Everyone: And your not wrong
And your spelling is bad
The menu music is a throwback to the Famicom startup sound. Speed up the menu music. I'm surprised you didn't cover this easter egg!
2:19 Having 1GiB in such a small form-factor was probably itself mindblowing at the time
And its Mind-blowing how the Micro SD Cards are smaller than ur nails and they have 1TB
How old do you feel knowing that the Game Cube is now 20 years old
1:44 that view though wow
“Name another console” well some buttons on the switch start up screen can make different sounds so kinda
