The Gamecube was always such an underrated console. One of the most ergonomic controllers and best libraries of any Nintendo console.

@baulus779 2 года назад

As the Wii U in my opinion

@benmalsky9834 2 года назад

If only some of the best titles on the system (especially ones like Super Smash Bros Melee, Mario Sunshine, Kirby’s Air Ride, FE: Path of Radiance, F-Zero GX, The Thousand Year Door and so on) weren’t so expensive to find a copy of.

@benmalsky9834 2 года назад

The only big problem I personally have with the GameCube is that the best games on the system demand HUGE prices online and in thrift stores.

@arnox4554 2 года назад

It was underrated at the time, but also not, because the Gamecube had some INSANELY stiff competition. You had the PS2 juggernaut releasing with some nice exclusives and a trump card in the form of a subsidized DVD player in every PS2 console along with Microsoft's Xbox with absolute top-of-the-line hardware and the former Dreamcast team back for blood, plus fucking Halo and Halo 2. And let me remind you, Halo just absolutely CARVED a path through all its competitors for good reason, formally signalling the start of the rampage of OG Bungie which finally culminated and ended with Halo Reach. Nobody could adequately compete with Bungie in their area. Not one studio. In summary, Nintendo brought an AR15 to the fight, but Sony and Microsoft brought bazookas. Nintendo simply got outclassed. Unlucky, but that's how it goes sometimes.

@JackieBucks 2 года назад

@@arnox4554 fair to say and I completely agree with you. The PS2 and Xbox's Halos and overall underpower really overshadowed this console into third place. An unfortunate fate, but I feel like it had no shot on launch.

@kanedaku 2 года назад

Super Monkey Ball was excellent, but when it came out on the Wii I got it and strangely enough it was so difficult to play with a motion controller

@Eyetrauma 2 года назад

You might have wanted the GBA GC disc to show it off on the channel, in which case this won’t apply, but if you weren’t aware it’s much more economical to replace a missing disc with an Action Replay and a copy of Swiss and GB Interface nowadays.

@juh-roon 2 года назад

Never had one as a teen (I owned a Megadrive/Genesis), but got into retro collecting about a decade ago. The Gamecube (next to the Mega-CD) grew to be one of my favorite consoles out there. Such great titles.

With homebrew, you can bypass the region lock, and even use your Gameboy player without the disc. Still is a pretty neat bundle.

I picked up this exact same system CIB as new in 2017 for only 5000 yen when I was in Japan and did a video on it back then too. I couldn't get it out of the store fast enough! The clear controller still remains unused and I will never use it as I have my trusty Wavebirds. Great pick up Michael.

Its amazing that I had a Gamecube almost 25 years ago and sickening I got rid of it 20 years ago at Computer Exchange (CeX)[in the UK] One silver lining is that CeX wouldn't take third party controllers so when years later I got a Wii, my mate who I gave three third party controllers to (MadCatz etc) returned them and I had four player Mario Party!

Basically like putting a pirated disc into it, without a mod chip it refuses to read it. Basically importing the console back then was hard to get real copies but instead easier to get Rips burned to mini dads

@kanedaku 2 года назад

Mr Michael(angelo - best turtle and he painted some stuff too), have you heard of Sendico? Maybe it doesn't have a service in North America but another RU-vidr (Retro Future) uses it a lot. Its buying stuff from Yahoo auctions Japan and then you build up stuff you've bought and then they post it to you or something.
