How Nintendo Killed the GameCube 

@@Ceruleancast My Master's Thesis was shorter and had far less thought put into it.

I never looked at it that way, thank you

The fact that he accomplished so much in the name of a Love That never reciprocated was also inspirational...

@@Ceruleancast what the _fuck_

Hey the one unpaid intern whp wrote netcode for Smash Bros online is doing their best! Anyways, i would like to know what Nintendo's challenges with online latency actually are. I think it has to do with the cheap wifi hardware they keep using.

Its shocking at how clueless Nintendo still is at the outside world. At least they have one of the best ways to voice chat with other gamers on line, Discord.

Nintendo targets loners like me who hate online stuff and play Japanese arcade games instead....

@@GorFrag Wait, is Discord available on the Switch?

@@LegionMizzy1 not that i know of. but people are useing that one their phones instead of Nintendo's stupidly bad talk system.

It literally rained on my GameCube and it's still working, the thing's indestructible

@@reloup8969 my gamecube fell down the steps and still worked perfectly... And it got swung and slammed like a damn ball and chain (I know it sounds wild) by one of my family members during an argument. It wouldn't turn on afterwards so we ended up selling the games we had. Then a few months later out of curiosity me and my brother plugged it in again and it turned on completely fine lol. It's really indestructible. Totally regret selling all of those games so quickly though, feels like a big part of my childhood I can't revisit lol

@@doodoobuttah same as my ds. The battery seemed broken so I stopped playing, five years later I turned it on again and lo and behold it worked like a charm

The G4 show X-Play did a test of the then current consoles, XBox, PS2 and GameCube to see which was most durable. GameCube won by a long shot

@Stellvia Hoenheim It really is indestructible. Tie it to a chain on the back of your car and i bet it'd still work. My ex smashed it on the ground several times. No issues. Great system.

What about unconditional love for your mom?

@@raul0ca simp

Honestly i loved my N64 and PS1, then went the Dreamcast route so i only played gamecube at my friend's house, then got PS2 and never looked back..but then years later we'd drink and have Melee tournaments with our friends and band mates through high school and college, and i eventually played all the RE makes on an emulator It's definitely a beloved console, just didn't have a huge library, especially not compared to PS2 which has like 100 of the greatest games of all time

@@KaladinVegapunk If you're a hardcore gamer, sure. But for people who don't get through many games, the gc library is amazing. And it has a lot of multi-player gems. So ps2 would be fun if I was an only child, but with siblings close to my age, GameCube just got played all the time. Ps2 was too much of a single player experience. That's why I always spent most my time on Nintendo consoles. Multi-player, until we got internet based gaming being mainstream, and then Xbox because better infrastructure.

Exactly same experience

The amount of gamers not buying it due to lack of games and online capabilities. Coming from a hardcore N64 fanboy.

Yep, PS2 was a great deal simply as a DVD player, just like PS3 was a great bluray player.

@TSnintendogamer true, but had far less competition. The GC faced against the greatest selling console of all time, as well as Microsoft's online innovative Xbox. Back when the n64's competition was just the Panasonic 3do, atari jaguar, and sega Saturn, Nintendo could afford to mess up and stay different(cartridges, 80$ games etc. ) 6th gen showed them they needed to change

Why do people keep talking like online gaming was a big deal back then? Lol

@TSnintendogamer The Dreamcast failed bro. Xbox was the one that made it popular. I didn't even know anyone that played online back then. 360/Ps3 era is where online actually was big.

Really, the lack of meowth-orientated content is Nintendo’s greatest failing

The Meowth rock n roll part is in Pokemon Channel

Meowth but dressed as parapa the rappa

We need a switch release

@@OrdinaryThings You like meowth and meowth, don’t you?

talks about N64 seeming old fashioned in connection with the controller. Which was actually groundbreaking and kickstarted the entire stick revolution. As if the PS pad, wasn't just a SNES controller with an extra button.

@@artfulstrafer3436 Do you know what the Dualshock is? It came out for the PS1 with 2 parallel analog sticks.

@@420malbania4 Sure. It came out long after the N64 began the entire stick revolution. It was a direct response to the N64 making the PlayStation seem outdated. Especially in the approach to 3D games. Sony's early design ethos was just: NINTENDO+ PS1 controller is SNES controller + two extra buttons. SONY dual-shock is N64 + an extra analogue-stick. The first original game to feature vibration feedback was STARFOX 64. Which plugged a rumble pak, into the N64's original controller slot for memory cards. The first game with the origins of modern FPS controls is N64's Turok: Dinosaur Hunter. Which features the now discarded *look-spring method of analogue controller FPS. As default. In the middle of 1996, Goldeneye soon featured controller FPS without the lookspring. Even with its bumbling "legacy" options, a proper modern look arrangement was available. In fact Goldeneye even features the mode where you could play with two N64 controllers, for true Dual "stick" input. And with a rumble pak in one or each, it makes Goldeneye the first true modern dual-shock FPS control. Sony wouldn't release the dual-shock controller until the end of that same year. 2 years after the release of the PlayStation. And over a year after the N64.

@@artfulstrafer3436 I’m pretty sure the Sega Saturn 3D controller was the first one with an analog stick

@@filetofish7688 neither in creation nor release. The N64 was delayed a while, during which time Sega had time to prep a counter to the since revealed N64 controller. Even with the N64's delay, the N64 stick preceded the Saturn stick by a third of a year. Which had the pack in title of NIGHTS INTO DREAMS to work with it. And it was the N64 step that prompted its happening. Anyone trying to deny the definitive importance and influence of the N64 controller is exercising a grudge.

I feel like the fact that he filled the high speed port with speed is slightly more important

@@alexandernyberg8668 it certainly raises further questions.

But beans in the disk area?! What the fuck are beans even? Must be a cultural thing because I’ve never heard of them.

@@joshuapatrick682 you’ve never heard of beans, they are in every single cuisine. It’s like saying you have never heard of rice nor pasta.

@@urbanprojectz wtf is pasta

Agreed. When the GameCube launched I was really looking forward to seeing Ron Jeremy work Peach’s pipes over

Just like with RE4, he probably didn’t play them so he doesn’t care to mention them. lol kinda insulting to RE4 to be that dismissive of it but idk what games he’s into so maybe survival horror isn’t his thing.

This. Cartridges had plenty of drawbacks, but reliability certainly isn't one of them. They were also way faster than CDs, leading to practically non-existent loading times.

Man, even all the way back in 1990s, nintendo were copyright nazis

Spot on. I wanna dive into game cube but the expensive price of it really held it back then.

@@jacobskarda I mean, it's Nintendo. All they have to survive is their IP. No other gaming company has as iconic of characters as Mario or Zelda games. Also yes. Perfect Dark is a "perfection " of Golden Eye. It is therefore better.

YES at 7:12 very rare

Wow I didn't even catch that lmao

Yeah he get he's rollie on

Fr tho. It made the system kinda unplayable for me because so many of my games just stopped working.

Why they didn’t include a shoulder button on the left side of the controller and only on the right was beyond me and made some games much more complicated then the other systems. It’s also a shame they decided not to use DVDs as that what really hindered the GameCube

@@snc237 Also missing the select button that they literally invented, so rip.

It was also sadly the last time they did any Gameboy player type stuff. I would have gladly bought a Wii U if it would have let me play my 3ds games on the TV.

prime is a great series but in no way is it the golden age of metroid lol

@@cashnelson2306 It was the golden age of Metroid because we got _four_ games in one generation, and they were all more or less the best selling games in the series.

@StoneBoiii420 no, im proud of the countless memories of playing and laughing with my siblings and cousins. Proud of countless sleepovers with friends from school. Proud of the countless times my parents placed the top game on my Christmas list under the tree, knowing that I would be surprised and spend a happy Christmas that day. Proud of being a kid and everything that surrounds it. You didn't stare at a screen in those days like today. It's not the same as kids with a tablet all day. It was different. Video games in that era were a very social activity, games were designed to spend time together with family and friends. There was no grinding, level up mega evolution BS. There was no numb pointless clickity angry birds bs. There was a lot of jumping, laughter, fighting screaming, happy quality time. Now this is the part were you feel stupid for being a comment troll.

@StoneBoiii420 are you proud to spend the most important years of your life, alone laughing by your self because you left trolly comment. At least for me it was in my childhood. And playing with a GameCube as a kid still was more active and had more life to it than your dumb ass right now responding to my comment. Think about it.

@@prico3358 I grew up with Atari as my first console in the 80s, and through the years ive come to see that, although different than tablets and RU-vid based stuff, it's all really the same thing, just getting better imo. Getting better how? These technologies are all getting better at making the wildest fantasies come true, and making reality fade away. Virtual reality will take over, like in the movie Ready Player one, and than if the world makes it far enough, where we walk, talk and eat on the streets will make it an absolute NECESSITY to live with on our heads, and will totally blind us. They are taking what makes rich people's lives the best (convenience), and making it seem like we have something, when really we dont have squat. Seriously I can see the Matrix becoming a real thing. I mean millions of homeless people and impoverished had smartphones when they came out, b4 I did! Wth? And it was acceptable!? No freaking way. Huh? What rich people have that we dont is the ability to purchase life longevity and safety (while it lasts). We're being weeded out, whether on accident or on purpose.

Anybody else play Ōdama? Pinball with a feudal Japanese RTS and voice commands??

Resident Evil 4,Twin Snakes, Twilight Princess and maybe Wind Waker (god the sailing got boring)... Also HOW DARE YOU CALL PERFECT DARK LESS GOOD! DO A VIDEO ON THAT SHIT GOLDENEYE IS OBJECTIVE TRASH NEXT TO PERFECT DARK!

Loved me some Double Dash.

@@russetwolf13 Gotta agree with you there, I spent many, MANY hours playing Perfect Dark with my sister, throwing ALL the N-bombs/grenades, annoying the shit out of her. Best game ever.

Did anyone else play Gheist

Playing Animal crossing on GameCube was an important part of my 2020 lockdown

"we are scared to lose money by being pirated" -proceeds to lose money like a boss (twice)

Wait I thought the N64 using cartridges was because of Nintendo holding stakes in a company that supplied the materials to make cartridges, or is that one of those rumors that got debunked?

But wait there is more! Nintendo is taking down sites with old ROMs BUT they haven't come up with an idea to sell the ROMs themselves. This is so stupid. Nintendo is so scared of Piracy but not scared of shooting themselves in the leg, dick and head.

@@Jokerboy1410 Nah they can sell it. They just need to find a way to sell it at full price.

@@user-qp5yu1zq1m forreal though

My body's fight or also fight response was activated when he said that.

yeah its multiplayer is way better

Thank you for your comment. Perfect Dark had a lot of innovation for first person shooter games.

I recognize that it was less popular, but as someone who spent half a summer with a friend and the game, it was vastly superior... to me.

Maybe it had better multiplayer but I was usually playing alone. I think Goldeneye wins for its mission design.

Mario Kart double dash is the most superior Mario Kart

I still play Mario kart double dash now, absolute classic

Sameeeeeee Kirby goes too hard

I have the silver one and I think the blue one looks better

Considering all those drives are long dead, it's a good use I think.

It works less for Xbox since Microsoft locked DVD playback behind a paywall because "money".

That's too bad,the Gamecube had some really good games despite the fact that it wasn't successful And I'm saying that as someone who never owned one

Yeah I remember as a kid when Gamecube games started disappearing from shelves too. There was literally one game shop in the middle of the city that still stocked them and on the few times I year my parents went in there it felt like a pilgrimage to Mecca to be able to visit it.

That "crashing screen" was a complete ripoff of Metal Gear Solid 2, which was released nearly a half-year before that, when a character in the game literally told you that "You've been playing for a long time. Don't you have anything better to do with your time?" It's so blatant I can't believe no one got sued over it. They even pulled the same trick on Metal Gear Solid for the original Playstation...3 years earlier...Eternal Darkness, have you no shame ripping off Hideo Kojima?

Great game

Ps2 was DVD ps1 was cd

When the ps1 was released in late 1994. It would be a full 2 years until dvd became a consumer product. With its 1000 dollar players and 100 dollar movies. Most would not have a DVD player until the launch of the ps2 in 2000. This is what helped sell the ps2.

The DVD function was a massive seller in the west too

Snes was blueray

Also you were excellent as the gentleman pirate (which is I guess how I got here)

It was huge, plus it had the classic vector line original Star Wars disc with it

That game is not easy; I need an unlimited ammo cheat.

@@Ryan-wr8fx no you don't

@@Ryan-wr8fx say what?

@@Ryan-wr8fx I don't know about that, maybe it isn't easy but it's not that hard, especially when you compare it to earlier resident evil games it has a lot more opportunity's for ammo, since it's takes a more action oriented approach instead of the traditional survival horror.

Um, dude... The video isn't even that long.

But because mini DVD, almost no one in South East Asia wanted to buy Gamecube because we literally only bought pirated copies in 6th gen era.

@Mr. Clean hahaha what a joke. thank you i laughed alot. "There are *624 games* on this list, which includes titles exclusive to North America, exclusive to Europe, and exclusive to Japan." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Dreamcast_games

@Mr. Clean nice trolling.

I disagree, but i respect your opinion

It was still a way better game than Mario Galaxy... I've had Mario 3D All Stars since it came out and I haven't even touched Galaxy yet...just been playing Sunshine and Mario 64.

​@2005 Cool Year Lol so anyone who disagrees with you is a fanboy who bashes your favorite game? Gotcha. I didn't say that Mario Galaxy was a bad game, but it's not the best 3D one. At least Sunshine innovated it's gameplay by designing it's mechanic around the game design, instead of the other way around like Galaxy did. I always felt like Galaxy would have been an amazing game if it hadn't been released on the Wii, that way the game would not have had those lame ass tacked on motion controls that didn't add anything to the game, which is why it feels more like a "Mario-lite" because everything is chopped up into smaller levels instead of bigger areas to explore. Mario Odyssey is the game that Mario Galaxy should have been, and it would have been an amazing game like that if it hadn't been released on the Wii. That is the reason why I haven't bothered with Mario Galaxy again because it was never that good of a game to begin with, and everyone else I know who bought the collection felt the same way, but don't let that stop you from enjoying the "best" 3D Mario game, kid.

Come on even me a Nintendo fan can admit the ps2 had more games

@@somethingsomething9008 that's a fact it doesn't need admitting. The ps2 has the most games of any console. Over 3 thousand!!!

I think it’s only aged so well because Nintendo is stubborn about remakes, rereleases and backwards compatibility. Emulation has made the thing practically extinct.

Yeah. Spice Girls peaked in 1997.

I still get those songs stuck in my head anytime posh or David Beckham are in the news

only one girl supergroup was allowed at once, prior to the 2000's. Britney had to devour the Spice Girls in order to retain their powers, thus becoming a singular entity comprised of all of the powers of the individual Spice Girls.

@@viscountrainbows6452 As someone who absolutely hates jump scares, I'm glad that that was the only one in the game. The rest of it was exactly what I want in my horror games: complete mind fuckery.

Considering there was literally no other option for a good console FPS with 4 player multiplayer in the 90s, I think it deserves it's praise.

@@cattysplat yeah it’s kinda disingenuous to compare quake II to goldeneye just because they are both FPS games released in the same year. One was made to be a cutting edge pc shooting game while the other was an innovative console shooter laid based on a film license property that was originally intended to be a rail shooter for the snes that really laid the groundwork for console shooters since. It set the standard for how console controls in free roaming shooters should work

damn. Never played this one. Sounds good. Do you reckon it’d hold up today?

@@OrdinaryThings I think most modern gamers would hate it, since the combat is super shallow. Basically you just hold down the attack button and you throw an infinite number of projectiles to mow down hordes of enemies. Plus the game looks awful visually, being a remake/remaster of a PS1/N64 game (with literally DOUBLE the content) but with barely upgraded visuals. But where the game really shines is the exploration and puzzle aspect. Each of the levels has stuff like hidden paths, breakable walls, hidden treasure, etc. Plus I mean, even though the combat is shallow and simple, it's also super fun! Would recommend checking it out. I'm sure you can find a gameplay video on RU-vid too.

@@OrdinaryThings A remastered version of the original Gauntlet was released on Steam a few years ago, and it's great. It was an arcade classic that inspired Diablo.
