    Tales of Symphonia is not only among my favourite games on the GameCube, it got me into the series and led me to look for other action JRPGs like it. I remember seeing this specific unit in magazines back in the day too, and how much I wanted it.

    I remember in the early 2000s all this Nintendo oddball stuff was stupid cheap. N64 DD for like $50. I was getting paid just above minimum wage so I could never afford it and eat at the same time so I didn't bother. But I am glad I have a Panasonic Q. That's really is one of the coolest pieces I own. Thanks for sharing this!

    Nice Video Adam.
    Always wanted this Gamecube!
    I remember (when i got this game) i stayed up all day and night (without sleep) and completed the game in 2 days, also got my best friend into the series with Tales of Symphonia. He is a megafan now, getting all the games that came out.
    (Tales of Phantasia had a Game Boy Advance port too.)
    Fun Fact: On the Gamecube version in the Sylvearant base there is a Gamecube object in the rotating puzzle while there is a SONY logo in the other ports.

    Also, Tales of Symphonia, as well as just the 'Tales of' series in general is a good game series. I only got to play the second one on the original Wii because that was the only one GameStop had in stock at the time, but still.

This is the most mystical Gamecube to me, and with the GCN being my favorite and first console of my own, this is the endgame of videogame collecting for me. Hope I can afford one some day. I'm not even into Tales, it's just that mint is one of my favorite colors lol.

    Pretty insane how you got it. Still very cool though. When I was little I would just get whatever console my parents would get for me. Now that I can afford it, I always look for the variant that I like the most. Almost none of my newer consoles is the regular version, and I love it. I even went back a few generations and got some cool variants. As of now, I have, a GOW PS4 pro, a Gears of War Xbox one S (both are GOW loll), Blue Hello Kitty Dreamcast, Fire Orange N64, and a Transparent Super NT. That is just the cool variants, current gen I have a PS5 disc ver

    Adam question. I remember in the sixth generation video the GameCube high definition modes were disabled in the PAL consoles. So I can make a PAL GameCube region free by just changing the disc drive? I was under the assumption that the high definition mode was software locked. I would really be interested in your info on the matter. Have you seen the XBOX documentary on UA-cam yet? Enjoy your content.

    • @AdamKoralik
      @AdamKoralik  3 роки тому

      The hardware isn't the problem, the software is. The PAL versions simply don't have the progression scan code in them. You can get around this if you have Swiss installed, but that's a whole different thing.

    Tales of Symphonia is the first game of the franchise to be release in Europe so it was a big event for JRPG fan (on the same time with also got our first Dragon Quest release with DQ8, thank's to Ubisoft who localise the game). and Namco do good stuff, TOS was translate and localise for the main country of Europe (English, German, French, Italian and Spanish).

    Only Gamecube I ever owned I got in 2002 and it was the black model with a matching game boy player also in black which I still own and play from time to time. I didn't play Tales of Symphonia until many years later on Steam and regret not picking it up in its original Gamecube run. Gamecube game prices these days are outrageous while PS2 and Xbox games aren't as crazy, Gamecube games get treated like works of art now, I don't understand why those games are so much more expensive? Especially when its a cross platform game on Xbox and PS2? Gamecube version is almost always way more money.
