The Everlasting Charm of the GameCube 

0:00 the cherub utters his first words

27:46 worst part of my day

HE’S USING THE GAMECUBE MICROPHONE!!

I was performing CPR on a crash victim but had to stop when I got the notification this video dropped. The family understood.

You know someone’s cool when they put their hand in the pocket but not all the way 🔥 🔥🔥🗣️🔥🔥🔥😎😎

TUCKERRRR 😭😭 youre spreading your wings, we’re here for it brother

TUCKER! TUCKER! MY GOAT! the crowd chants in unison

I was at my wedding ceremony but left when I saw this notification… #sorrybabe

I love to see Tucker drop

Bruh ain’t no wait AINT NO WAY Tucker is releasing his own style of content like this. REMEMBER US WHEN YOURE ON THE RED CARPET IN A YEAR!!!!

this is a historic chuckle

3:27 Guys I don't think he's jealous at all

The Everlasting Charm of Tucker Keane

I've never had the pleasure of playing on the Gamecube, but this video makes me want to.

My favortie part was when tucker was talking about the gamecube and its everlasting charm, my least favorite part was the pause between each word when Tucker wasnt talking, just felt like a waste of my time tbh

my goat. i was born in 2004 with only gamecube in my baby hands. i played green hill zone in sonic 1, chemical plant in sonic 2, angel island in sonic 3, and mushroom hill in 3 and knuckles in sonic mega collection over and over because i was a stupid child who couldn't get past the first zone in each game. i never had smash, never had double dash, no windwaker, no twilight princess, no sunshine, just 10 different sonic games and x2 wolverines revenge. peak.

Tucker popping off with a Video Essay? Hell yea

TuckerLovers in the chat. What a journey. 10/10 Tucker, you are amazing. Keep that sweatered up green screen ass coming

Damn, Tucker!! Really giving the JSchlatt tribute video vibes. I'm absolutely loving it man. This video was phenomenal and I actually took my GameCube out of its dusty old storage box after watching it. Thanks man!

Return of the king

Absolutely jarring Code Lyoko reference, this video is awesome.

This means so much to me, I'm a 2004 kid I grew up only playing the GameCube for most of my childhood and none of my friends really knew anything about it. It's great seeing so many other people sharing the love for it! Thank you for mentioning double dash it's my absolute favorite Mario Kart game! :D

This video is actually incredible. like the time put into this SHOWWSSSS

thank you tucker, we say in unison

i can feel the love you have for the gamecube through the screen, great video tucker 👍👍

I haven't smiled so wide seeing a new video in years. Tucker talking about GameCube?! Yes. Yes please.

as someone who grew up on a old gamecube while everyone had their ps4s I cant explain to you how much this video made me nostalgic

This truly is the zenith of Nintendo Gamecube and Nintendo Gamecube-Adjacent content. Takes me back to going to play Melee at my friend's house after school!

Tucker lover here, LOVE to see you making a video essay, i love seeing ppl talk ab what they're passionate about and video essays are my favvvv, will def be here for whatever the next upload may be, bc no matter what you've got a great energy

i miss this era so much, this video made me nostalgic. also love that you included music from Crystal Chronicles, felt like nobody knew that game except for me when i was a kid, it was one of my favorites

I needed video essay Tucker in this timeline

I got chills when that Melee theme kicked in, the gaming industry truly peaked with Melee

I think Tucker just invented my new favorite genre of content. Just a video about someone talking about something they’re really passionate about with no real focus so it just meanders really nicely from thought to thought getting lost in side topics and tangents. Lemme tell you, I was not a big game cube fan before this video, but I got so caught up in Tucker’s passion for it that by the end of the video I became a staunch GameCube supporter. Home run video! Keep it up!

Was quite literally talking about how magical the gamecube was 2 hours before you dropped this vid, unreal tuckle

I love how full of joy he looks talking about this

He was a little jealous. 😂

seeing the cherub talk like a full fledged youtube video essayist brings me everlasting joy

I played the DS version of Froggers Adventure, which I guess was called Frogger Helmet Chaos, but let me tell you, hearing those game sounds for a brief moment felt so surreal, like I never left that time in my life

@14:10 the urge to participate in a lan party is so strong in my veins. Truly an era that just slipped through my fingers

It’s a crime to not include the audio of that kid opening the Nintendo 64 on Christmas

tucker haters in shambles rn

Oh man is this the year of Tucker💯💯💯

22:28 bro is having some internal reflection

I didn't grow up in the prime of most of these consoles the oldest console I ever played on was an NES remake which my brother ended up breaking which i was genuinely so mad about despite not being a gamer and being trash at playing games in general. I also played the ps2 mostly as my brother was the 'gamer' of the household and my dad would get him older consoles before building him up to more recent ones. Seeing people much older than me with nostalgia of these consoles is just really nice and I've been meaning to look into these more 'retro' consoles. So thanks for uploading this tucker its super cool to see this little look into the past i didnt grow up in. :]

FINALLY SOMEONE WHO APPRECIATES SSX TRICKY FOR THE TIMELESS MASTERPIECE IT IS

gamecube and code lyoko, tucker you really are hitting every nostalgia point with this one man

This video essay style really suits Tucker! His voice and excitement for the topic really sells it for me! I hope more great videos will come in the future

I’m very happy to be apart of the first 7k views of this soon to be 300k view RU-vid video

an almost 30 minutes tucker video? woooo!!

When Tucker Keane drops nothing else matters

tucker fans stay winning

Oh my dear sweet Tucker. Your passion for the Game Cube fills me with joy

Tucker being addicted to the game cube honestly makes so much sense 😭😂 I can’t explain but it just makes sense

Peak video tucker I love that little Cube

This is a really good video! Would love to see more videos in this style

Tucker my slime, this is awesome!!! This is like scott the woz with ur own charm. Love it 😂

Absolutely amazing video! It reminds me of my own Gamecube-related story. When I was younger, I lived in a low-income family and the only gaming system we had was my older sister's N64, which only had about 3 games on it. They were fun to beat over and over, but they started to feel a little stale as I got older and I started to turn away from gaming for a bit. But my mom became friends with this couple that owned a GameCube. I used to go over there with her to play it and became absolutely enthralled with all the games they had, Smash Bros. Melee included. I started to ask to go over there everyday just to play it, so much so that they eventually GAVE it to me as a Christmas present. I became so immersed into the gaming world after that and I'm forever grateful to them. I genuinely feel like that was a pivotal moment in my life thats made me into the nerdy person I am today. I fucking love the GameCube.

Love to see ya tucker!

7:24 erm actually... Animal Crossing originally released on the N64... But only in Japan

You started talking about SSX tricky and I got giddy. That game was my shit 😭😂

My brother and I grew up with the GameCube! Couch co-op and split screen gaming was how we spent our free time. Such a legendary console.

Loved the video! I liked noticing all the influence of other gaming essays like Nakey Jakey, Scott the Woz, or the Burbacks

The Gamecube holds such a special place in my heart. It was probably the most fun I've had with any console.

EXCELLENT video, Tucker. I never experienced the Game Cube (I started with the PS2), but I was enthralled the whole time regardless. You did an excellent job conveying what the experience was like and how monumental some of its adaptations were :)

our child's first ever essay, they grow up so fast!

Heck yeah! It's TUCKER

I related so much to the love you showed for the GameCube and I just wanted to genuinely thank you for this video. Also Pikmin 2 and Pokemon XD are my favorite games from age 8 to my current age of 27. They never get old or boring and I think you've explained exactly why. Thanks man C:

The gamecube was the giant step for gaming when it came out, my biggest gripe with the N64 was the weird 3 handle controller.

This video is amazing, really had me engaged. Great job tucker!! ❤

The fact you used the GameCube mic as a prop is wonderful. 10/10

Tucker is the best. Idk what it is, but there's something so amazing and funny about this guy

Never realized Tucker had a YT until now and this is the best type of content I could have ever asked for

I was waiting for you to talk about the accessories. Very well done video man! It's nice to see other people had the same experience as me with being into gaming but not having my own console.

Tucker this video goes so hard, the production is through the roof! And you love Metroid Prime, my GOAT!

I didnt know what a memory card was for a couple years so i would play through the games from the beginning and never finished them. Shout out swap meet videogame stands

Excellent video, love seeing you talk about something you're passionate about

absolutely love the vid man, super sick and the effort shows

Another banger from Tucker incorporated

Picking up a Wii fairly recently I am so excited to experience the GameCube library, it’s a little unfortunate though that every classic game on the GC is like $60+

Great video, Tucker has a lot of potential

tucker in his video essay era let's go

Tucker, hearing you talk about Metroid Prime, my favorite game, warmed my heart. I'm so glad that you like the game and hope you've enjoyed the rest of the Metroid franchise

Finally a new Tucker upload! I sure wish there was another place where I could watch my favorite unaffiliated youtuber

not mentioned but memorable GameCube moment: Dōbutsu no Mori (Animal Crossing) was their first game with built-in real time mechanics for Nintendo. great video :]

tucker? more like my lord and savior

Genuinely great video. Love the GameCube and your passion for it Tucker

Chuckle sandwich better shout out this video. Tucker needs this

holy moly, the cherub himself dropping a vid for us? it must be Christmas

this is genuinely fire story telling

HOLY SHIT I WAS NOT EXPECTING A DEDICATED CODE LYOKO TANGENT!

TUCKER VIDEO WOOOOOOO!!! The Switch was my first console ever so I was way too late to experience this console, I hope I get a chance to do so someday, it seems so magical

THE MAN HIMSELF

As a Tucker lover, not hater, I am so here for this Cherub's content! Keep going Keane!

TUCKER KEANE. OUR LITTLE CHERUB. I’ve been praying for another upload. Thank you!!!!!

absolutely awesome video Tucker! i'm glad to see the little cherub grow!

ted posted, tucker posted, chuckle week soon, is this heaven?

TUCKER DROP LETS GO

Tucker, the legend himself 🙏🏻 thank you for blessing us once again!!

Not Tucker reminding me of Frogger Adventures like a repressed memory. Thank you, our sweet cherub

This was life changing tucker, thanks
