TheGameCubekid342 Sadly , I never grew up as a PlayStation guy. I didn't start playing PlayStation until I got my own PS4.I wish I grew up with the ps2 or ps3.
The 6th generation of gaming was definitely the best by far. The PlayStation 2, GameCube, (New kid on the block...Original XBOX), & SEGA Dreamcast. So many fun, innovative, creativity, & classic games were published year, after year, after year. I miss that era (2000-2006).
I'm with you on that one... I can honestly say I had the most fun back then. I mean, hell... Playing TimeSplitters on PS2, Metroid on Gamecube, Halo on XBox, and my favorite Hydro Thunder on Dreamcast.. or Crazy taxi.. the late 90's and early 2000's were awesome for home console gaming! :D
jcynavarro its just sad my friend saw the trailer for cod advanced warfare and said ha wouldn't get it because it the same then he saw the exo suit ONE small little change and instantly fell in love.
I grew up with the GameCube, PS2, and Xbox and I still own all 3 of them and play them to this Day which means I've been Attached to them for the Past 14 (Almost 15) Years the GameCube, PS2, and Xbox will always be my Favorite Game Consoles from my Childhood from when I was 7 and now I'll be 22 this January 17th which means I've been Gaming pretty much my Whole entire Life it's the Best feeling I've ever had (And still the Best feeling I ever have)
I still have my original Gamecube from 2001 and it still works like a charm! So many great games; it's a shame the console was so underrated. It had better graphics than the PS2 and was $100 cheaper.
***** That doesn't justify the fact that it was overpriced and had shit hardware. Developers just worked with it cause if you didn't release on the PS2 then you lost out on a ton of money.
We thought about the developers as our main customers. In particular for GameCube, we spent three years working with Nintendo of America and with all sorts of developers, trying to understand the challenges, needs, and problems they face. First among these is the rising cost of development. The GameCube can see high performance without too much trouble; it isn’t a quirky design, but a very clean one. It was important we didn’t require jumping through hoops for high performance to be achieved. On top of that, it is rich in features, and we worked to include a dream group of technical features that developers requested. - Greg Buchner, ArtX's Vice President
ps2 was better gamecube was 2nd best but would have been 3rd if dreamcast hadn't went bankrupt. Xbox just fucking sucked. Nintendo gamecube didnt have devil may cry 3 or Zone of enders the 2nd runner.
True,I for some reason loved the Gamecube even though I mostly played PS2. It just that the damn thing is so attractive with its design and color options and far more reliable than PS2 and it can only dream of. I have a fetish with Gamecube I have like three of them even though the first one already outlived 3 PS2s!
One of the buttons got stuck yesterday. I had to disassemble it and pry the damn button out. Sony's controllers suck. Even te Vita, with that annoying stick placement and miniscule buttons. It's ridiculous.
This, the PS2 and Xbox were the last simple consoles. The fact that the newer systems (PS3, 360) make you go though menus and shit when you just wanna play a game is ridiculous. The newest consoles are even worse. With this, you just a put a game in, turn it on, and you're done. 20 second task. I don't know how they fucked up something as simple as that.
I gotta disagree with you there. At least on my PS3 it's as simple as putting the disc in the console and waiting for it to load, just the same as the PS2 and the PS1.
Omg ur fucking right, todays consoles are complicated crap lol now its not about games anymore, i miss the days were there were NO patches or shitlong downloads, just pop in da cd and play thats it lol
I miss the day when consoles were consoles and not multimedia social networking DvD players. I also love online gaming but... I really has taken away from those living room 4 player action memories from happening for most people. Times change but I still love the classics.
I have memories of the past... one day, when i was 11, i asked this guy in my class if i could rent his gamecube controller, memory card and luigi's mansion, stairfax temperatures and some kind of generic star wars game. he said yes. it was a rainy, dark day. when i came home to my wii, i plugged it on and played luigi's mansion. that was the best part of my whOOOOOOOOOOOOOle life. period.
I remember playing Gamecube when I was like 6 or 8 years old with my best friend. We had so much fun playing Mario Kart and all that, we were truly best friends since children until when we turned 15 he got a girlfriend and forgot about the good old days ... so sad.
mann i used to binge these videos! crazy it was 12 years. ago gamecube is still my favorite console at one point i had like 70 games for it. wish i still did
Mark!!! Your reviews are still the best in the internet’s! I miss you on UA-cam, and the golden days of your amazing reviews. I hope your doing amazingly well! Thanks so much for your excellent silky smooth reviews that sound so great! Your like listening to Frank Sinatra reviewing video games.
Apparently this was Nintendo's worst selling console if you don't count the Virtual Boy or the Wii U. That still makes me sad. I know the PS2 was a huge competitor, but this was probably Nintendo's best console. This was the last home console of theirs that actually had innovative GAMES. Now they're just making innovative consoles with the same old games. Which makes the innovative console useless.
This was the worst selling console because nintendo said that it was supposed to be a 3D game system, and then fans were let down when they said no because it wouldn't work on a 2D screen, so nobody bought it.
Rip 10 sec of your life reading this rest in peace rip wii u, I actually still have mine, I think I got it a few months after I posted that comment, oh well, probably getting the switch now! Let's hope it does well and has amazing games (and let's also hope for Truxton III).
Brian C nah, i prefer ps4, nintendo's childish games aint for me, specially this days, the WII used to have those kind of games, but at least had enough third party support so you can avoid them, and play your scarface's and mad world's But the only support that the WIIU has is from nintendo, nobody else is making games for it, not even EA or Ubisoft, when not the biggest whores in the industry are making games for your system, your system is doomed
Battlefield 1942 Argentina if Nintendo games aren't for you, that's fine, but their exclusives are still far superior to anything Sony or Microsoft have made. And 3rd party games on consoles aren't that relevant to me since I also play on PC (I have a PS4, Wii U, and my PC).
Brian C good for you, i only have the budget for 1 console, here in argentina, a PS4 or a WIIU, is as expensive as buying a Dirt bike So i chose the PS4, and i'm happy with it
I bought a GameCube in 2018 just to play Luigi’s mansion and after that it just sat on a shelf for a few years. My buddy found an old copy of double dash a few weeks ago and we’ve been playing it religiously on the GameCube ever since. We even unlocked toad and we’re working on unlocking mirror mode. Definitely a blast from the past.
My friend gave me his silver GameCube and the cords for 25 bucks at a parking lot. Ahhh I miss that console but now I have it again. I got the NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, GameCube, and the Wii. Now I need to buy the Wii U to complete the collection.
I love the Nintendo GameCube I got the black one brand new for my 7th birthday in January 2005 my first games were Luigi's Mansion, Sonic Mega Collection, and Super Mario Sunshine my favorite GameCube game is Super Mario Sunshine I played it all the time I still have my GameCube right now but sadly it stopped working somewhere around 2010-2011 over the years I've gotten a Wii, a ds, an Xbox 360, nowadays I play PS2 and Original Xbox, I also have a Wii U and PS4 but I'm going to pack those away, I was at my local used game store and I saw a silver GameCube and silver GameCube controller rapped up in factory sealed and a Nintendo 64 so the thing is I'm gonna buy another GameCube (the silver one cause that's the one I like) to replace my old one that stopped working and I'm also gonna buy a Nintendo 64 in a week or so now I'm 18 I'm collecting a bunch of old school games and old school game systems screw Wii U, PS4, and Xbox One 8th Gen Consoles suck I'm buying a Nintendo 64 and a Nintendo GameCube
Try getting a Q-tip and putting a high % isopropyl alcohol on one end; ring the cotton out until it's hardly damp, and then very gently wipe off the laser. It might fix your Gamecube if it's not reading disks.
I still have my gamecube from when I got it in 2002. That thing is my childhood. He wasn't a nintendo gamer when it was out, he just doesn't get the nostalgia factor of it.
The Nintendo GameCube, in my opinion, is the number one best Nintendo console ever because you can play Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance games with the Game Boy Player accessory for the GameCube.
Ah my first console, I even have the original box. Got mine at Circuit City for US$110 back in late 2003, my bro reluctantly gave me $20 bucks to buy Pikmin (the cheapest game on sale that day), good times especially when I played Ghost Recon to vent my 13yo frustrations haha. My biggest regret was buying one of those niko controllers, it went bad so fast , I tore it apart with my bare hands in anger, good thing gamestop still sold NIB Official GC contolers at the time.
I like it. I still have the same console actually. My father bought a Atari 2600 in the late 70s early 80s before I was born. He gave it to me one day as he was going through junk in the basement but I don't really count that as my own for some reason. I wanted a game console of my own and loved the 2600 even though all of my other friends had much better systems. I wanted the "modern" Atari system that after seeing stuff about it. I thought it blew my friends consoles out of the water. So he got me a Jaguar for my birthday the Jaguar came out the same day as my birthday. I had friends at the time who had Genesis and SNES and even one kid I knew had a 3DO. Looking back I know the graphics weren't much better and even as the other 5th gen consoles were coming out that were 32 bit like the Saturn and PlayStation my only argument was that the Jag was 64 bit and therefor was better. I was a huge Atari fanboy. But by 1996 as the Jag was being discontinued I sucked it up and got a PlayStation and about a year later saved up for a N64. The Jaguar's games are by no means that great compared to it's competitors at the time. But I always loved the system it's still one of my personal favorites.
That's great you still have it.I know many people who are on the never ending quest to buy the consoles they had and let go. I also have my bros old consoles but like you said, for some reason they don't feel truly "yours" It seems one gets attached to the first console one gets. As a kid I wanted a PS1 and a DreamCast so badly but it never happened, so when I saved all I could I got the GC, maybe that's why I love it so much, for a 13/14 yo to save that much was one hell of an achievement (or so it seemed to me haha)
This is easily one of my favourite systems. So many great games like smash bros melee, starfox adventures, mario kart double dash, 007 nightfire. Amazing games and system!
the reason why I love the game cube is because its extremely customizable like the back plate, the lid, the buttons, the laser and so much more...oh also the games and controller
Man, this system was one of the best: Smash Bros Melee, Paper Mario 2, Monkey Ball, Pikmin, Sunshine, Viewtiful Joe, Luigi's Mansion, Custom Robo, Metroid Prime, Wind Waker, and the list goes on. Those were the days.
I got my first one Christmas 2001 and today I have about 30 games for it and all of them I still have fun playing to this day. The only game that I have in my collection that is terrible is Nickelodeon Party Blast since it was the only game I had that would take forever to load. Even though I got a new one for $30 at Gamestop in 2011 since my original one stopped reading discs recently. The Gamecube is still one of my all time favorite video game consoles ever!
I'm really impressed with the mini dvd format used for the gamecube. The gamecube showed that you don't need a cd to produce good-looking games. Anyone agrees?
When Generation 6 was rolling in I was only interested in the Gamecube. I have so many fond memories of playing Super Mario Sunshine and Four Sword Adventures and Metroid Prime, and many more of the awesome games on the thing. It was my game console. The one I really grew up with. I'm in my 20's, so I know I was around for the SNES, but I didn't care about video games until Pokemon. The Nintendo 64 was my first home console, but the Gamecube was the first that I really remember.
When I was Growing up me and my brother had the gamecube and ps2. I had bought the playstation 2 with my money and we got the gamecube for christmas one year. and im happy we still have them ;)
Reasons to love the GameCube: Five Zelda releases, Super Mario Subshine, the awesome Mario Kart: Double Dash, Metriod Prime 1 & 2, Resident Evil 0, REmake, and RE4. And many others! Plus the awesome Game Boy Player.
I still play 2 video game consoles from early 2000’s & I still Play Nintendo GameCube & PlayStation 2 & I still play games on Nintendo GameCube & I played Sonic adventure DX directer’s cut & Sonic adventure 2 battle & Sonic riders & Super smash bros Melee & Mario kart double dash & Animal crossing & Super monkey ball adventure & mortal kombat deadly alliance
I just got my Nintendo GameCube yesterday for $30 I like it better then any other system. Thats just my opinion the controller is the best ever made. The best games a huge library of them.
This thing really is built solid awesome machine, I bought this for the rowdiest bunch of kids you ever saw back in those days and it survived all of them. Great system
Ahh..gamecube and my gameboy advance were my very first console and Handheld.. And the days I played those two games were the years of My 'Enlightment'.. Good years, good years.
R.I.P. Gamecube 2001 - 2012 In 2001 we got a shin new gamecube, with a shiny new controller. In mid-2005, I turned on a game (I think it was mario sunshine) but it wouldn't get past the startup. Eventually it wouldn't even start up. Until we got our Nintendo Wii, our controller was in the dust. In 2007 we got a Wii. In Mid-2008 we got Smash Brothers Brawl. We got our GC controller, but by then the rubber parts were gone. We played anyway. In Summer of 2012, on the character select it zoomed...
The Gamecube is my probably my favorite console of all time. I reccommend Resident Evil 1 (remake), Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes (remake), Super Mario Sunshine, Legend Of Zelda Wind Waker, Legend Of Zelda Twilight Princess, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Mario Kart Double Team, third party games, ETC. And Gamecube games always look great. Even today, Super Mario Sunshine still looks decent, it doesn't look bad.
Awsome video! its accually one of the reasons why i bought a gamecube in the firstplace. Now i love my Gamecube so much that i even made a Video about it XD
I was surprised you didn't mention that the early Gamecube models had an extra port in the back which could be used for the now uncommon component cables for the system. From what I remember hearing, component cables for the Gamecube only ended up being sold online on Nintendo's website, whereas component cable inputs for the Xbox and PS2 used the same AV cable input as the traditional composite cables did which made them far more common. So along with the fact that the Gamecube component cables weren't mass produced in the same manner that the ones for the other competing consoles were, you also needed both composite and component cables for the Gamecube for you to use component output since the component cables for the Gamecube only had the 3 video input jacks, instead of the 5 input cables with both the audio and video cables that other component cables had. And of course you have to find the model of Gamecube that has the extra port on the back so it's compatible to use the component output. So barring getting a Retron 5 which can play Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance games with HDMI output, a Gamecube with the Gameboy adaptor and a model that can use component cables is the best way to play those old handheld games.
The gamecube might not have had the expansive library of the PS2, or the Xbox's online service, but it had by far the best library of games for local multiplayer. Super Smash Bros, Mario Kart, Super Monkey Ball, those were some good times with friends.
The GameCube is underated. People need to show more love for this console. How many people remember this as their first console they own?
sadly i grew up with the ps1. but a friend of mine had a gamecube and we would play it for hours
TheGameCubekid342 Sadly , I never grew up as a PlayStation guy. I didn't start playing PlayStation until I got my own PS4.I wish I grew up with the ps2 or ps3.
SAYS THE SWITCH
You must be young as hell for the GameCube to be your first console
my first console, (i am fifth teen years old)
The 6th generation of gaming was definitely the best by far. The PlayStation 2, GameCube, (New kid on the block...Original XBOX), & SEGA Dreamcast. So many fun, innovative, creativity, & classic games were published year, after year, after year. I miss that era (2000-2006).
thank you
I'm with you on that one... I can honestly say I had the most fun back then. I mean, hell... Playing TimeSplitters on PS2, Metroid on Gamecube, Halo on XBox, and my favorite Hydro Thunder on Dreamcast.. or Crazy taxi.. the late 90's and early 2000's were awesome for home console gaming! :D
at least it wasn't like now with the same crap year after year after year.
eddy c exactly... same crap just small upgrades and they call it a new game.... people just eat that shit up too...
jcynavarro its just sad my friend saw the trailer for cod advanced warfare and said ha wouldn't get it because it the same then he saw the exo suit ONE small little change and instantly fell in love.
Best controller ever.
Godtier games.
Small, easy to move.
Best console ever.
like what games though?
***** Smash Bros. is one of them.
Noelzilla1 Super Mario Sunshine and Wind waker
Eduardo Tapia Oh I know I just had to say smash bros.
Im just saying there awesome :)
The Gamecube, Xbox, PS2 era is my favorite era of video games.
I like bugs
Mine too
I grew up with the GameCube, PS2, and Xbox and I still own all 3 of them and play them to this Day which means I've been Attached to them for the Past 14 (Almost 15) Years the GameCube, PS2, and Xbox will always be my Favorite Game Consoles from my Childhood from when I was 7 and now I'll be 22 this January 17th which means I've been Gaming pretty much my Whole entire Life it's the Best feeling I've ever had (And still the Best feeling I ever have)
It was the best era.
What about the Dreamcast?
I still have my original Gamecube from 2001 and it still works like a charm! So many great games; it's a shame the console was so underrated. It had better graphics than the PS2 and was $100 cheaper.
***** That doesn't justify the fact that it was overpriced and had shit hardware. Developers just worked with it cause if you didn't release on the PS2 then you lost out on a ton of money.
Indy The Great Hey the PS2 isn't bad. It had a great library of games.
who remembers smash bros.? I never really got it for the gamecube but I have played it.
kakashi101able Neither of that has to do with the fact that it had shit hardware compared to the Xbox and Gamecube.
Indy The Great because the ps2 had a DVD drive that's why it was 100 dollars cheaper and the ps2 is more cheaper
We thought about the developers as our main customers.

Gamecube controllers are the best. The GC console is durable, no red rings of death!!!
Though it did have a very sensitive disc reader.
for real love GC for the same reason
Angel Villa Same here.
Randy Yeah!
ps2 was better gamecube was 2nd best but would have been 3rd if dreamcast hadn't went bankrupt. Xbox just fucking sucked. Nintendo gamecube didnt have devil may cry 3 or Zone of enders the 2nd runner.
The GameCube is the most underrated game console of all time.
I had such good times playing Mario Party 4 with my brother and friend that it is my favorite system of all time.
True,I for some reason loved the Gamecube even though I mostly played PS2.
It just that the damn thing is so attractive with its design and color options and far more reliable than PS2 and it can only dream of.
I have a fetish with Gamecube I have like three of them even though the first one already outlived 3 PS2s!
to this day, i still consider the gamecube controller to be the best, most comfortable, quality built gaming controller of all time.
+Donovan Tull you obviously haven't used a dual shock 4
+Homer sams The Dual Shock 4 is shit. The thumbstick rubber tears off easily and they still have that retarded crab hand dual shock layout.
+Donovan Tull Pro Controller is really nice, too. Especially when playing highly competitive games like Smash.
+OTBWY Dual Shock 4 isn't that bad. I prefer it over most Xbox controllers.
One of the buttons got stuck yesterday. I had to disassemble it and pry the damn button out. Sony's controllers suck. Even te Vita, with that annoying stick placement and miniscule buttons. It's ridiculous.

I agree wholeheartedly man.
Omg ur fucking right, todays consoles are complicated crap lol now its not about games anymore, i miss the days were there were NO patches or shitlong downloads, just pop in da cd and play thats it lol

The GameCube had the most comfortable controller and some really fun games
i agree with that 100%. It was more comfortable than the PS2 controller. Well to me anyways. lol
I have memories of the past...
one day, when i was 11, i asked this guy in my class if i could rent his gamecube controller, memory card and luigi's mansion, stairfax temperatures and some kind of generic star wars game. he said yes. it was a rainy, dark day. when i came home to my wii, i plugged it on and played luigi's mansion.
that was the best part of my whOOOOOOOOOOOOOle life. period.
I remember playing Gamecube when I was like 6 or 8 years old with my best friend. We had so much fun playing Mario Kart and all that, we were truly best friends since children until when we turned 15 he got a girlfriend and forgot about the good old days ... so sad.
mann i used to binge these videos! crazy it was 12 years. ago gamecube is still my favorite console at one point i had like 70 games for it. wish i still did
Mark!!! Your reviews are still the best in the internet’s! I miss you on UA-cam, and the golden days of your amazing reviews. I hope your doing amazingly well! Thanks so much for your excellent silky smooth reviews that sound so great! Your like listening to Frank Sinatra reviewing video games.
I have this same exact Jet Black model for this Nintendo video game console. Good job!
i miss his content
"You can punch people, with your gamecube" XD
watching this 9 years later i keep on hearing this guy say that game cubes and Gamecube games are AFFORDABLE
Yeah, they're anything but affordable now
Apparently this was Nintendo's worst selling console if you don't count the Virtual Boy or the Wii U.
That still makes me sad. I know the PS2 was a huge competitor, but this was probably Nintendo's best console. This was the last home console of theirs that actually had innovative GAMES. Now they're just making innovative consoles with the same old games. Which makes the innovative console useless.
yup, amen
Well, the Wii u is doing pretty good, counting 666% increase in sales in the UK .___.
This was the worst selling console because nintendo said that it was supposed to be a 3D game system, and then fans were let down when they said no because it wouldn't work on a 2D screen, so nobody bought it.
If the ps2 weren't so freaking awesome, the gamecube would have had a chance
Rip 10 sec of your life reading this rest in peace rip wii u, I actually still have mine, I think I got it a few months after I posted that comment, oh well, probably getting the switch now! Let's hope it does well and has amazing games (and let's also hope for Truxton III).
The good old days when friends came over to play games.
2011: GameCube games were reasonablly priced.
2016: GameCube games are expensive as fuck.
i know the feel . now a days i just have a hombrewed Wii and hard drive for my GameCube games.
Bought naruto clash of ninja for $5 a few weeks ago from a comic con
Literally just wanted Mario sunshine and paper Mario and it's gonna cost me over $50.. Ima pass for now lol
Luckily I bought all the GameCube games that I wanted back in 2012
Yoshifan0312RBLX What games were those?
Wii U kinda is like this console in the fact that they both have great games
+Donovan Tull and they both sold like shit
+Battlefield 1942 Argentina still a better library and better exclusives than PlayStation and Xbox.
Brian C nah, i prefer ps4, nintendo's childish games aint for me, specially this days, the WII used to have those kind of games, but at least had enough third party support so you can avoid them, and play your scarface's and mad world's

Brian C good for you, i only have the budget for 1 console, here in argentina, a PS4 or a WIIU, is as expensive as buying a Dirt bike

You NEED to try F-Zero GX too.

I know and me too
Try getting a Q-tip and putting a high % isopropyl alcohol on one end; ring the cotton out until it's hardly damp, and then very gently wipe off the laser. It might fix your Gamecube if it's not reading disks.
What exactly is the problem with your Gamecube?
"If you sold your gameboy player you can buy another one because they're really cheap"
Cries in 2021 when they're like $200
Accurate
Who's watching In 2017?
sullyrox 2018
My first Nintendo console... LOVED it!!! bought it March 2002... I think...
I love the design of the GC. Right now its the hottest retro console to collect for.
You know, it is... It's just a good thing that GameCube was intended to be released on September 14th, 2001 in Europe.
Who's watching this in 2016
Gaming Bros I Am
Gaming Bros//GB not me ;)
Gaming Bros//GB me
Gaming Bros//GB I'm not
And I actually love its design. It's simple, small and compact.
Guess why its called game CUBE xD
I still have my gamecube from when I got it in 2002. That thing is my childhood. He wasn't a nintendo gamer when it was out, he just doesn't get the nostalgia factor of it.
Best console ever! Pikmin, Super Mario Sunshine! Luigis Mansion, Metroid, Crash Bandicoot. Ahhh those were the days!
Mario Kart Double Dash was my life.
ColdenBaller I still play that game pretty frequently.
Side note: it has the best racing game ever created by mankind as a console exclusive: F-Zero GX.
The Nintendo GameCube, in my opinion, is the number one best Nintendo console ever because you can play Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance games with the Game Boy Player accessory for the GameCube.
Got my Gamecube back when it first came out, still works like a charm :D
Literally my childhood console
I wish nintendo made a successor to the gamecube with wii u rather than wii. bring back the GCN controller and make it next gen
Ah the gamecube... I remember playing super mario sunshine pn it all day...
me too loved that game *fear the king blooper*
Ah my first console, I even have the original box. Got mine at Circuit City for US$110 back in late 2003, my bro reluctantly gave me $20 bucks to buy Pikmin (the cheapest game on sale that day), good times especially when I played Ghost Recon to vent my 13yo frustrations haha. My biggest regret was buying one of those niko controllers, it went bad so fast , I tore it apart with my bare hands in anger, good thing gamestop still sold NIB Official GC contolers at the time.
+Xx-MrEBA-xX Dang my first console was a Atari Jaguar.
cool so how was it really? I remember the older kids talking with my older bros about it but everyone only speculated as no one actually ever saw one
I like it. I still have the same console actually. My father bought a Atari 2600 in the late 70s early 80s before I was born. He gave it to me one day as he was going through junk in the basement but I don't really count that as my own for some reason. I wanted a game console of my own and loved the 2600 even though all of my other friends had much better systems. I wanted the "modern" Atari system that after seeing stuff about it. I thought it blew my friends consoles out of the water. So he got me a Jaguar for my birthday the Jaguar came out the same day as my birthday. I had friends at the time who had Genesis and SNES and even one kid I knew had a 3DO. Looking back I know the graphics weren't much better and even as the other 5th gen consoles were coming out that were 32 bit like the Saturn and PlayStation my only argument was that the Jag was 64 bit and therefor was better. I was a huge Atari fanboy. But by 1996 as the Jag was being discontinued I sucked it up and got a PlayStation and about a year later saved up for a N64. The Jaguar's games are by no means that great compared to it's competitors at the time. But I always loved the system it's still one of my personal favorites.
That's great you still have it.I know many people who are on the never ending quest to buy the consoles they had and let go. I also have my bros old consoles but like you said, for some reason they don't feel truly "yours" It seems one gets attached to the first console one gets. As a kid I wanted a PS1 and a DreamCast so badly but it never happened, so when I saved all I could I got the GC, maybe that's why I love it so much, for a 13/14 yo to save that much was one hell of an achievement (or so it seemed to me haha)
The DreamCast is a great console.
I still have my original GameCube from 2001 and I love it!
Aaah.....the GameCube was my first ever console and I adored it, I played it all the time. I've not found it for a while now...
you should get super smash bros melee on gamecube.
I have a PS2 & a game cube
it should be a rectangle who is watching this in december 2015
Nah fam 2016
This is easily one of my favourite systems. So many great games like smash bros melee, starfox adventures, mario kart double dash, 007 nightfire. Amazing games and system!
the reason why I love the game cube is because its extremely customizable like the back plate, the lid, the buttons, the laser and so much more...oh also the games and controller
Nowdays its so expensive
Yup. Now my generation are adults and are nostalgic for it. Therefore driving up the prices. Yay
@@RallyLancer95 they suck
FACT: I bought my Gamecube in 2011 for $30.00
FACT: that was an awesome purchase!
FACT: I bought mine in 2014 for 30€ with 4 Shovelware games and 2 memory cards!
(Including the cables and an original controller)
yes
handle and all.
ContraZombie4 Well, as I stated before, I got a bit more stuff.... I SHALL NOW TOTALLY BRAG ABOUT IT AS IT IS TOTALLY VALID AND STUFF...
My first console. I miss you and Metroid Prime and Echoes.
I brought this for 55$ with 2 controllers, a memory card and a extra game. It was just in May 2012. This is my favorite game system.
will always love this system ❤
Every time I search something you have reviewed it! YOU MUST HAVE EVERYTHING! :)
My favorite console of all time and my childhood.
Man, this system was one of the best: Smash Bros Melee, Paper Mario 2, Monkey Ball, Pikmin, Sunshine, Viewtiful Joe, Luigi's Mansion, Custom Robo, Metroid Prime, Wind Waker, and the list goes on. Those were the days.
I got my first one Christmas 2001 and today I have about 30 games for it and all of them I still have fun playing to this day. The only game that I have in my collection that is terrible is Nickelodeon Party Blast since it was the only game I had that would take forever to load. Even though I got a new one for $30 at Gamestop in 2011 since my original one stopped reading discs recently. The Gamecube is still one of my all time favorite video game consoles ever!
PS2, XBox, GameCube, Dreamcast....oh, the memories.
I'm really impressed with the mini dvd format used for the gamecube. The gamecube showed that you don't need a cd to produce good-looking games. Anyone agrees?
I laughed so hard at the: "You can use it as a weapon" part. It was so random and natural hahaha.
When Generation 6 was rolling in I was only interested in the Gamecube. I have so many fond memories of playing Super Mario Sunshine and Four Sword Adventures and Metroid Prime, and many more of the awesome games on the thing. It was my game console. The one I really grew up with. I'm in my 20's, so I know I was around for the SNES, but I didn't care about video games until Pokemon. The Nintendo 64 was my first home console, but the Gamecube was the first that I really remember.
We need more people like you.
I like the look of the cube, one of my fav consoles.
When I was Growing up me and my brother had the gamecube and ps2. I had bought the playstation 2 with my money and we got the gamecube for christmas one year. and im happy we still have them ;)
Reasons to love the GameCube: Five Zelda releases, Super Mario Subshine, the awesome Mario Kart: Double Dash, Metriod Prime 1 & 2, Resident Evil 0, REmake, and RE4. And many others! Plus the awesome Game Boy Player.
Bought one over the weekend. Took it home, played it for a few hours, turned it off to go to the airport. When I came home my tv stopped working.
I still play 2 video game consoles from early 2000’s & I still Play Nintendo GameCube & PlayStation 2 & I still play games on Nintendo GameCube & I played Sonic adventure DX directer’s cut & Sonic adventure 2 battle & Sonic riders & Super smash bros Melee & Mario kart double dash & Animal crossing & Super monkey ball adventure & mortal kombat deadly alliance
had alot of good memories with the gamecube im gonna miss it
Calling the GameCube extremely affordable is crazy to me all these years later due to how much the price has increased in the past decade plus.
I owned a ps2 growing up, and got my GameCube for free. He even had a gameboy player! Oh, and it came with melee and even indigo clear controllers.
I used to have a gamecube my first console. The good memories of the gc but we miss you gamecube!
I remembered the GameCube. My cousins and I would play all the time
The Gamecube is by far my favourite looking console. It's that alone which makes me wanna dig it back out of the cupboard
The gamecube was probably my last "most played" console before PC. I will always love my little indigo lunchbox.
I love this thing. I remember playing Animal Crossing, Sims 1, a oo7, True Crime NYC and True Crime LA. Man those was the days.
The absolute best choise my brother had ever made! :,)
Choosing this cube that brought me a fucking awesome childhood :,)!!
the gamecube brings up all my old gamecube memory's :D
I just got my Nintendo GameCube yesterday for $30 I like it better then any other system. Thats just my opinion the controller is the best ever made. The best games a huge library of them.
I want a Gamecube so badly right now!!
This thing really is built solid awesome machine, I bought this for the rowdiest bunch of kids you ever saw back in those days and it survived all of them. Great system
+frank mathis yeah GameCube is built like a tank unlike the Slim PS2 which broke easily.
I feel you, I was born in the Gamecube age, never lost my first one I got when I was two.
Ahh..gamecube and my gameboy advance were my very first console and Handheld..
And the days I played those two games were the years of My 'Enlightment'..
Good years, good years.
even when I was 8 i loved the gamecube
i grew up with the gamecube and it is still my favorite console to date
R.I.P. Gamecube
2001 - 2012
In 2001 we got a shin new gamecube, with a shiny new controller. In mid-2005, I turned on a game (I think it was mario sunshine) but it wouldn't get past the startup. Eventually it wouldn't even start up. Until we got our Nintendo Wii, our controller was in the dust. In 2007 we got a Wii. In Mid-2008 we got Smash Brothers Brawl. We got our GC controller, but by then the rubber parts were gone. We played anyway. In Summer of 2012, on the character select it zoomed...
The Gamecube is my probably my favorite console of all time. I reccommend Resident Evil 1 (remake), Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes (remake), Super Mario Sunshine, Legend Of Zelda Wind Waker, Legend Of Zelda Twilight Princess, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Mario Kart Double Team, third party games, ETC. And Gamecube games always look great. Even today, Super Mario Sunshine still looks decent, it doesn't look bad.
Possibly the greatest or most underrated system ever.
One of the best consoles ever!
I love Gamecube!!! My favorite console ever... that and ps1
Awsome video! its accually one of the reasons why i bought a gamecube in the firstplace. Now i love my Gamecube so much that i even made a Video about it XD
i love gamecube so much its one of the greatest consoles ever.
I was surprised you didn't mention that the early Gamecube models had an extra port in the back which could be used for the now uncommon component cables for the system. From what I remember hearing, component cables for the Gamecube only ended up being sold online on Nintendo's website, whereas component cable inputs for the Xbox and PS2 used the same AV cable input as the traditional composite cables did which made them far more common. So along with the fact that the Gamecube component cables weren't mass produced in the same manner that the ones for the other competing consoles were, you also needed both composite and component cables for the Gamecube for you to use component output since the component cables for the Gamecube only had the 3 video input jacks, instead of the 5 input cables with both the audio and video cables that other component cables had. And of course you have to find the model of Gamecube that has the extra port on the back so it's compatible to use the component output. So barring getting a Retron 5 which can play Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance games with HDMI output, a Gamecube with the Gameboy adaptor and a model that can use component cables is the best way to play those old handheld games.
The gamecube gave us my favorite game of all time...Metroid Prime and i believe its one of the highest rated video game too
You made me spill my drink in laughter.
I still have my gamecube. I've kept it for about 6 years & I do play it sometimes, even though I have other consoles.
I still play my GameCube. That and Super Mario Sunshine. Ahh...nostalgia.
The gamecube might not have had the expansive library of the PS2, or the Xbox's online service, but it had by far the best library of games for local multiplayer. Super Smash Bros, Mario Kart, Super Monkey Ball, those were some good times with friends.
words cannot describe how much I agree with you bro....
