Ode to the Nintendo GameCube

[Meshric]

Too bad the new Wiis are not GC compatible. (Or at least some of them...)

[kindofscary]

@Meshric REALLY! My Wii can play Gamecube games. Why would Nintendo drop that feature.

[fitz663]

GAmecube was my first video game system, i later got a ps2 and i barely played it. gamecube is awesoem

[SSFaraaz]

WAAAAAAAAAAIT!!!! @rinrygamegame You forgot to mention the game boy player!

[D3ADXIL3NT]

nintedo 64 and gamecube = my childhood

[chunkle555]

I'm guessing Phillips CDI is out of the question? XD

[RyanRightN0w]

The gamecube just couldn't even compete with the other systems, it lacked in every single area by comparison. Even the Dreamcast was superior.

[zainuintel]

@RyanRightN0w uh... graphics. GAMEBOY player. 4 Controller Ports. Quality titles. Its a friggin brick, go search console crash test and see which wins!

[KUR1SU]

Even if you own a Wii there is still ONE reason to keep your Gamecube: The Game Boy Player.

[PyschedelicDreams]

I nearly dieded when it started playing Dragon roost island. Favorite area, and song in all of wind waker. Maybe even in all of tLoZ!

[gamerloveer224]

i had a gamecube and a wii but i only played the gamecube =) 

[Goukeban]

A pretty girl who likes the videogames? Rin, she was sent by Skynet!

By the way, GameCube is freaking awesome!

[TristahKing]

game cube is awesome i want one

[TristahKing]

@TristahKing the games are awesome*

[the9thinning1]

For some reason, I thought an Asian was talking the whole time.

[AllieRX87]

WWE Day of Reckoning

[AssociationAdmirer]

Am I losing it, or is the song playing at the end from the Phantom Brave(Wii,PS2) soundtrack? I've only played 3 GameCube games so far, and that tune doesn't sound like it's from any of them.

Anyways, great overview. Informative, to the point, and your speech is confident and sharp.

[Energyone]

I love the button layout, but the triggers were very difficult to use if you have large hands - actually, it caused pain.

[Vamp6776]

Her voice is so cute!

[blueswan1984]

The GameCube was awesome, I can play all my GB, GBC, and GBA games on it through its Game Boy Player, that's something my Wii could never do.

[MrMordrick]

You are so right for Super Smash Brawl and the Gamecube controllers. Normally I love the classic controller, but for me it's a must. Maybe because I start played the Melee version first and over 100 hours.

[Ponimaju]

some great games, almost all of the ones i own are the best first party ones, but i also have a couple multiplatform games. i play them all on the wii though. only reason i see to get a gamecube is if i ever find a gameboy player, i'd find it a lot more enjoyable to play GBA games on a tv screen than the GBA itself (or i could find a DS with the slot once they become dirt cheap)

[dsanchez23fight]

I think they disliked cause this vid wasn't giving it enough praise?

[LCWVideo]

anyone who dislikes gamecubes should jump off a cliff

[LCWVideo]

y u dis gamecube

[PaperShishigami]

I love you guys for using the Baten Kaitos battle theme at the end.

[roxasxdarknessx]

I loved the GC, and the PS2, they will always be my favorite concoles

[zainuintel]

Nintendo GameCube: most underrated home console after the DC

[SSFaraaz]

@zainuintel i forgot what that was DX

[zainuintel]

@SSFaraaz DreamCast :L

[SSFaraaz]

@zainuintel thanx....... wait, that actually makes sense! Sonic adventure & SA2 have been remade on gamecube, and the chao minigames on the dreamcast version are similar to the tiny chao garden on GBA

[zainuintel]

@SSFaraaz yup, dunno why everyone didn't like the DC + GC, they bought retarded PS2's with their disk read error

[SSFaraaz]

@zainuintel and you know what else? The Controller's Analogs Have to be centered when turning on, because the game would think the direction the stick points to will be centered, and the character will kep moving in one direction nonstop. It's too bad Budokai 3 and Infinite world were ps2 exclusives. I actually kind of like ps2's library a little bit better (Budokai 1,2, and 3.....budokai tenkaichi 1,2, and 3... even Final fantasy! I wanted FFX&FFXII on the gamecube, but NOOOOOOOO)

[zainuintel]

@SSFaraaz u sure bout the center thing?

[SSFaraaz]

@zainuintel well, I went to my friend's house one day. He had a ps2, and His baby brother was holding the controller when i wanted to play FFX. when the game started, Tidus could only move up, left, and down. pushing right made him stand still

[zainuintel]

@SSFaraaz hmm. i might try that if i i ever see a ps2 :D

[Gmod1001]

@zainuintel Gamecube, most underrated console after the DreamCast and the VECTREX! How could you forget!

[zainuintel]

@Gmod1001 vectrex rockS!. But the DC and the GC were in a different leauge

[noodleboy12369]

Fucking nostalgia made me cry

[MrNintendoAll]

i love the game cube era SSSSSOOOOOO many good games and memories.

[Raito1337]

Love your cat at 1:53 xD ; It's tails going wild :D

[jcdenton2k]

The PS2 is still the best console available right now :)

[123stephenno]

@jcdenton2k no

[StephensStuff]

Why Harvest moon, why!? 0:36

[maxxdblade]

OMG all those years and i didn't even know i could push down the disc button.

[Akyla0177]

@maxxdblade stop lying, queer.

[GaryDlr]

haha LOL

[SoulBrothaNumbuh2]

Hey guys, I'm gonna give really basic info that wikipedia has and make a shit video and get thousands of views because I'm a girl. The internet is fucking gay.

[iAreAless]

the Nintendo Wii: The First Nintendo console to use Normal disks

[shinobi3335]

gamecube is awesome, but i was surprised by the small disks and i still have my gamecube today!

[Jorg3s3rrano]

I play gamecuve games on my wii

[legopivot311]

i still play my gamecube to this date :)

[Redsnord]

@legopivot311 I still play my N64 to this date :P :)

[gleprin]

GC Forrsever!

[daveKoRnfan]

The gamecube is amazing I love the resident evil remake on it. It also holds my favourite Zelda title Wind Waker. Does anyone else think that the music that plays when you turn it on without a game in is creepy?

[cronochos]

gamecube is the best controller in life..

[cronochos]

i have a silver gamecube and loz masterquest!! 

[Valckior]

Aside from it being the first system I bought for myself. The gamecube has had the best run of titles and replay value than anything else I have played. Games like Super Monkey ball and Mario Sunshine will always be part of my childhood.

[sashimi3]

totally makes me want to take out my old gamecube x]

[Pajderman]

Got so used to push out gamecube discs that the habit sort of broke my ps2.

[PowderedxToastman]

Great short video and retrospective of this underrated system.

[LuminixSurrender]

you are so cute :D

[cyphr6]

I just picked up a GC with 3 controllers and a bunch of games for $25 :D

[Redsnord]

@cyphr6 wow thats a good catch i just got the CG with 1 controller and no game for 20 ^^

[StormTroop45]

this is why i have a WII

[ramh2001]

I think it's great that you showed the cover art and played the battle theme from (in my opinion) the best rpg to grace the gamecube, Baiten Kaitos. It just seems to be one of those games that everyone over looks

[maniacchris]

@ramh2001 god I hated that game, so bad. The voice acting killed it, completely took me out of the game. Tales of symphonia is loads better.

[TheCarolStreamKid]

you forgot to mention that when you speed up the gamecube BIOS music, you hear the Famicom Disk System boot up music. Did you know that?

[WRCfan88]

γreat video!! greetings from beautiful Greece!

[Mitsuraga]

This is adorable. Many of my friends typically seem baffled at how many GCN games I have, as if they'd just assumed it had crappy games back in the day.

[AllKindMusicUploader]

Tbh GQ isn 't bad at all. But if you compare it to the impact N64 made and the Snes along with the NES I can imagine people are like: ok wait, this isn't.. good. Although GQ indeed has very good titles it also has very bad titles. Anyhow - it is a great console and almost unbreakable - only thing that sucks is the memory card for me that is. They are nowadays very hard to get.

[sladikk]

It might be because the Gamecube was my first game system ever, but the controller feels less like a controller to me and more like an extension of my hands. It feels more natural than a keyboard.

[ragekage209]

When you think about it, the Gamecube was one of the best systems Nintendo released. It had an absolutely amazing library of games, and no one can deny it. It's underrated so much.

[YasiroIMP]

00:14 epic thing i never seen before

[keoni29]

Missed that one

[pwnismaximus]

GAMECUBERS TO THE MAX!

[yoneda123]

0:53 Freeze and you can see The NinToast haha XD

[nin10doadict]

Actually, I believe the Gamecube still has a purpose. I don't think you can use the Wii to go into the Gamecube Memory Cards... So you can't remove or transfer files between cards. I could be mistaken, though...

[NES8594]

@nin10doadict The WILL use Gamecube memory cards. I have Super Smash Bros. Melee on mine and i use the saved file on the wii.

[Animega888]

Game cube is the best!! Tales of symphonia is amazing!!! The controller is the perfect size as opposed to xbox360 and PS3. The graphics are nearly just as good as most wii games.

[dw070]

this was well made and not full of fail. I approve

[AwesomeLatias]

I thot that the best game on gamecube was super smash bros melee its like my favorite game but then brawl came out now thats my fav game

[neelybrady88]

music is from kirby air ride :D?

(srry forgot to add the music is from part from first comment)

[neelybrady88]

kirby air ride :D?

[MrNoobguider]

what game was 2.30?

[supermorshu64]

@MrNoobguider super smash bros. mele

[HalfyProductions]

game cube was freaking amazing loved every game i got on it i cant beleive it only got 22 mil sales : O

[mukiikii]

you can eject im such an idiot

[funster5031]

the gamecube was discontinued when i was 6. i played for three years but that was it. but i still go to my friends house just to play gamecube and by the way my friend said the gameboy advanced is a collectible just as much as an nes is that true

[VandalMuffin]

if you can diss the gamecube, i will hunt you kill you in your sleep

[gtawesom3]

Definitely the best console of them all, and I'm still sure this has better graphics than the wii... Best controller best games (Mario kart dd obviously the best)

[mttloebach]

How did the Xbox outsell this! (and the Dreamcast)

[FireBallFilms1]

too anyone who hates the gamecube ive got 5 words for you twilight princess and wind waker

[JakeJozek]

GameCube beats the shit out of your damn Wii. Some GC games look even better than some new Wii games. Now even women are playing Wii games like WiiFit, wth, stay in the kitchen and play cook lol.

[Lollipop708]

@JakeJozek D:< Hey! Im a chick and i find the Wii shit! Hell I still adore my snes!

[wee1owen12]

@Lollipop708 No Nintendo console is ever "Shit'' . It may not be as good, but not that bad.

[Lollipop708]

@wee1owen12 Explain the virtual boy then

[wee1owen12]

@Lollipop708 The Virtual Boy wasn't a shit console, as it had more power and better graphics than the Gameboy Color, but it was the 3D gimmick that lost it. It had a great library of games too, but again most were hindered by the 3D gimmick, which wasn't even that bad, it worked, but people just couldn't stop bitching about the headaches, which even modern 3D technology still gives.

[Lollipop708]

@wee1owen12 I think I'll just stop now and avoid embarrassing myself any further. And techincally there doing the same thing they did on the virtual on a already popular handheld the ds.

[wee1owen12]

@Lollipop708  Yeah, and TBH, the Virtual Boy was a bit of a fluke.

[Lollipop708]

@wee1owen12 Plus it was only in red and black, most people wouldda thought it would be in colour

[Incathelizard]

2008- i get a gamecube £2.99 with pokemon colliseumfrom GAME

[Scout322]

@redspirit358 yes you can

[Scout322]

......marry me

[splatter321]

i need your body!

[Redspirit358]

You can't play GBA games on the wii

[TheAsianified]

I loved my GC~ BEST system and BEST games for technology ever

[davidus444]

3:14 Same thing happened on my GC :C

[sonicsalt99]

Actually, Rinry, The Vetrex monitor has a handle..

[roosteemon]

ahhh.... i remember my first gamecube a few months before it died i litarraly had to smash the shell off with a hammer so i could get inside of it and mess with the insides to get it to work ahhh good times good times.....

[GBAura]

@FLYProductions100 Not to mention that the console is very durable and can take more damage than the Xbox and PS2 without damaging the goods inside. No seriously, there are videos about that on Youtube!

[TheInternetwatcher]

I still have my gamecube and I still like it, can't say I love it but I enjoy it. I haven't really played it years though, but ah the good memories.

[WALD40]

IIIIIIIIIIIIII highteck SCHROTT, WER Kauft denn so ein MÜLL ????

[ChildsViewReviews]

I have a GameCube, I got it AFTER I got my Wii. And, yes Black Ops Junkies, I got an Atari 2600 AFTER I got my GameCube.

[Sorianobhs]

GameCube is still the best console no matter what! FTW!

[billodahill]

@Sorianobhs I can't vote this comment up enough

[legonut740]

thumbs up if the only reason you keep your GC if you have a Wii is for the game boy player.

[MrPopsicle43]

DAMMIT! I didn't press the button!

[Gamer807]

My gamecube doesn't work anymore *tear* *sniff*

[ElfieStar]

I could swear that I heard Tales music somewhere in this video...

Best series ever btw.

[tigerboy1227]

well its not totally obsolete, the wii doesnt have the gameboy player

[grandmasternutz247]

Wow! you love the gamecube!

[TheVidgamegeek]

Always will be my favorite system. (Next to the N64)

[kfsfkakf]

The first system i could call mine :) I love the Gamecube. Great Video

[kinkzoz]

my wii broke but my gamecube still works

;D

[Electricgirl888]

I had a gamecube for almost my entire childhood...then it broke =(

[mariofank64]

sorry for snapping before

[AllieRX87]

You should do a video called "Ode to the Sega Saturn".

[Namadu7]

Wow. I LOVED all the music choices. I'm a huge fan of Nintendo's music these days (and much other video game songs, don't get me wrong), but I was instantly able to recognize all of these Gamecube masterpieces (and from other consoles).

But the music credits are wrong. The music is from "Super Mario World" and "Super Paper Mario". But I loved those music choices... and especially Kirby Air Ride's Checker Knights (actually from Hoshi no Kaabii) and Baten Kaitos' The True Mirror.

Great video!

[Ultimagamer3000]

I love the Gamecube to this day! I would rather play Gamecube games on a Gamecube than on the Wii.

[sirtyph]

sorry if a lot of people said this already or was mentioned later on but isn't the gamecube still useful. its the only console that can manage gamecube memory cards right? unless i don't know how to do that on the wii.

[MrSqualo97]

transcribed audio at 4:10 contradicts her

[csmith1234567891]

Your voice wants to make me kill myself.

[lolcool06]

Gcs not ccs =\

[lolcool06]

I have two ccs and a wii =3

[CrossoverGameReviews]

The GameCube is not obsolete yet. You can't play Game Boy games on the Wii.

[Burliertrout3]

is that cat tail in 01:50

[GerbilEater123]

Cutest moment @ 1:49

[SuperMagnum83]

I preferred n64 over the ps1 and saturn yet n64 came a distant second, i liked gamecube more than ps2, xbox and dc yet gamecube flopped. This gen i prefer 360 over wii, ps3 yet wii is a big sucess. It seems if i like a nintendo system it fails and if i dislike it then it does well, weird ain't it?

[AllieRX87]

I think Kwing said it best. GameCube's failure lies within Nintendo's management and then-president Hiroshi Yamauchi. Not only was it poorly marketed, but they were not very friendly with third-party developers during the N64 era. Plus the president at the time dissed Square for going with Sony and he burned a lot bridges for RPGs.

[TheTerrificTracy]

Transcribed Audio?

You guy's mean CC: Closed Captions?

[kirbybros130]

Woo! Canadian Gamers!

[ppp9922]

the game cube was an awesome console with some of the best nintendo games...

i used to have one but my older brother thought he could sell all my consoles so he could have money.

but i would easily buy one over a wii since the only reason i would buy a wii is so that i can play game cube games

[BluerimTech]

My family got a Gamecube in 2003 and it lasted through 2009 when the disc drive broke, so we got a Wii. But that overheated all the time (I know right?) so we bought a used Gamecube.

[mariobrosfan1995]

Another gamecube eater egg is that if you speed up the main menu sounds its the music from the famicom disk system startup. 

[1For3The3Win7]

The Gamecube was, and still is in my opinion, the best thing Nintendo has ever made, the Wii is a total gimick, nothing new at all, and all of it's games are total crap. If the new Nintendo HD system, which we know is coming out next year, is like the GameCube, then Nintendo will actually make up for the mistake which the Wii was.

[TheTerrificTracy]

@1For3The3Win7 What's an "Nintendo HD system"?

Is it the new Nintendo console, cuz I heard the new Nintendo console was going to be the "Wii U"!

Wikipedia it!

[1For3The3Win7]

@TheTerrificTracy I haven't looked at the Wiki page, but according to the Game Informer Article on it, at that point all they knew about it was that it would be a real competing HD system, unlike the Wii, so at that point it was just called the Nintendo HD.

[1For3The3Win7]

@TheTerrificTracy And I seriously hope, that Nintendo dosn't release another crappy system like the Wii.

[TheTerrificTracy]

@1For3The3Win7 It's like the Wii because you can use Wii controllers, but it is HD,

and the new controllers have a huge touch screen in the middle of them!

[1For3The3Win7]

@TheTerrificTracy Hmm, I heard about the (touch) screen in the middle, but I didn't think it was confirmed, I really hope that it isn't anything like the Wii, in my opinion it was the worst thing Nintendo has done.

[AllieRX87]

@1For3The3Win7 Yeah because a system that sells like hotcakes and prints money is a HUGE mistake and games like Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Super Mario Galaxy 1&2, Xenoblade, Pandora's Tower, The Last Story, No More Heroes 1&2, MadWorld, Sonic Colors, Zack & Wiki, Goldeneye 007, Klonoa, Excite Bots, Excite Truck, Mario Kart Wii, Data East Arcade Classics, WarioLand: Shake It, and Zelda: Skyward Sword are ALL crap amirite?

[1For3The3Win7]

@AllieRX87 Even though I get the sarcasm, the only games in there that were good were SSBB, and Donkey Kong Country returns. The others were all obvious knockoffs of better games and ones where the entire game was figuring out how to use the movement controls. Even the good ones would be better with a real controller.

[AllieRX87]

@1For3The3Win7 The games I listed are certainly not knockoffs of other games. Maybe the cheap shovelware that nobody cares about, but certainly not what I listed. Those were highly reviewed games, not just by critics, but by gamers who have played them. Even I enjoyed them a lot.

And about that last part, fair enough, but how would a game like No More Heroes work with a standard controller when you're mostly hacking and slashing with the Wiimote? Even the PS3 version supports PlayStation Move.

[1For3The3Win7]

@AllieRX87 Well how did Legend of Zelda survive 20 years without movement? If Nintendo had made a serious console instead of the Wii, and made a console more like the xbox and integrating movement over time, not having it as the primary source of sales

[Talentz92]

@1For3The3Win7 Agreed. The wii sucks gorilla nuts. The gamecube is so underrated and very reliable

[KillingJoke696]

bought a Gamecube jus for Resident Evil 4

[JakeJozek]

I just got my Gamecube yesterday & i couldn't be happier.. it's just goddamn AWESOME! :)

[smashbrosdojo3]

I wish Gamestop still sold Gamecube games

[Blackout987]

Next gen nintendo console = revolutionary flailing with arms.

Pick up your ipad and get ready to get in shape, cause wii and wii u are not for chubbies.

[teakince]

I'm surprised you didn't mention the C-buttons on the N64 controller.

[PerseusLP]

you are ultra cute and the best looking gamer girl I've seen so far.

[DragonMaster56842]

I actually have a multi-tap for the ps1

[rexappel]

ur voice is so cute .. great videos I am so subscribing lol :)

[360Bene999]

Gamecube Forever. i mean like last week i buyed harry potter 7 part 1 i finsihed it tried again got bored turned of my xbox. But with my Gamecube (which i havent sold and never gonna do) i could play ''wind waker'' over and over again in NEVER EVER EVER GOT TIRED OF IT. Well thats why old consoles are better new consoles is only ohhh better graphics how fantastic but the old ones like GC. Leaves marks like all ur adventures in zelda. well thats my opinion on whats. FANTASTIC

[pokedude720]

@SoraRoxas4life read the comment before
