[@707tinman707]

The GameCube was the only console that nintendo gave every single one of its IPs a spotlight. Truly the greatest Nintendo machine in my opinion.

[@maxtubb8560]

100% Agree

[@nasrimarc7050]

💯 agree

[@kittypaisley2029]

Actually... every IP except Yoshi. It's still my childhood console though, and I love it because of that.

[@keioboy7610]

What about Donkey Kong? Jungle Beat shouldn't count. SNES gave each IP a spotlight and each with a masterpiece title. The SNES has the strongest game library of all time (I put GameCube at a distant number 2). Seriously, it's insane how many masterpieces got produced for that one console. Everything Nintendo put out became a cult classic and then there was great third party support too (Chrono Trigger, Earthbound, Street Fighter 2).

[@kittypaisley2029]

Donkey Kong Jungle Beat totally counts. In fact, there are even two other Donkey Konga games released for the GameCube.

Man i miss when Nintendo marketing was like this

[@slumpbaby00]

@@mellohi6175 the nostalgia sets off something in our brain, it’s nothing about the marketing itself

[@aquamanbeforehewascool5347]

You mean advertising that completely misses the actual target group in terms of its presentation, like the Luigi's Mansion commercial? There's a reason they stopped doing this kind of advertising, and it's that.

[@swishfish8858]

Nintendo doesn't. The GameCube was one of its poorest performing consoles, and weird-ass ads like these are a big reason for that. You should check out Reggie Fils-amie's autobiography, Disrupting The Game. He talks about his time at Nintendo of America, and some of the big market challenges he faced when he took over the company. Really fascinating stuff! He narrated the audiobook too, if you prefer that!

[@Randomark3087]

​@@aquamanbeforehewascool5347PS2 and X-Box had similar ads. I think it was a 2000s thing.

The GameCube was my life in 2003 (I had the Black GameCube bundled with Zelda Collector's Edition, the 1st GameCube I had). I remember watching the Mario Kart Double Dash commercial multiple times both English and Spanish. XD And I remember back in 2009 finding GameCube commercials just to relive my childhood years of the GameCube. Good times.

[@Grimmjow19872]

Yea man 2002-2007 good years.

[@BTAL1ama]

Yoshi smacking into the freeway ramp was so savagely hilarious

[@rodolfovargas7952]

He was parasailing, so he got smacked by the freeway ramp.

[@WaterMeLoan64]

So that’s why Yoshi isn’t in the Mario Movie...

[@kail5407]

1:12 Remember when battle royale in the dictionary didn't say "10 year olds screaming in a mic about golden scars for 3 hours"

[@gochem3013]

1:32 That commercial is BADASS!

[@o0long2be30]

It’s always so very interesting to see the passage of time and sales shape the means a product is marketed, and the GameCube was certainly no exception to its rule. Me being the big horror/thriller buff and armchair creative mind I am, the early advertisements involving the beings trapped inside the Cube I took particular liking to.

[@jimmythetvfanatic7402]

Happy 20th anniversary GameCube. I can remember those launch commercials like yesterday.

[@superomegax4199]

Nintendo GameCube was my life I remember at a young age I got it for Christmas and the first game I ever got was Mario party 4 then smash then Naruto and a few other games. But it's good to relive these childhood moments I just wish that Nintendo add the GameCube and Wii as a new online feature for the switch.

[@SeyhawksNow]

2000s marketing was its own league of awesome

[@Max25670]

It's thanks to Reggie Fils Aime that we got nintendo commercials like this.

[@superomegax4199]

He forgot to say May the best man woman dinosaur or gorilla win.

It's a shame Nintendo had to sweep F-Zero under the rug. One of very few racing games I ever enjoyed in my life.

Imagine the disappointment when some poor sod gets home, tosses Melee into his gamecube for the first time, sees the 14 playable starting roster with only 5 "?" slots and goes "WTF you said OVER 20 CHARACTERS!!!" then they unlock Dr. Mario and see him hangin' off to the side lmao

[@Kingofthehillfacts]

You can definitely see Nintendo mellowed a little during this era haha

[@ToppyNet.]

Nintendo in the mario sunshine commercial: only for Nintendo GameCube. Nintendo 18 years later: ayo who wants to play this 2002 game again in widescreen

[@nitroxwolf2098]

Playing Gamecube with my friends was blast wish I could go back.

[@sportstalkeli]

This is legit a Scott the Woz episode in the making

[@OK-qg2zd]

These are misleading and creepy.It’s just a shame these games were actually amazing.

[@SuperFlashDriver]

There's this one commercial, that had people throwing shit at a television, and it was a soccer match. And at the end of it was some sort of soccer Nintendo game that was from the sixth gen console. With another person throwing another item into the TV, and the "Ohhhh Noooo Here We Go Again-" Cut off of the commercial.

[@leonarddurecki5988]

The GameCube was successful, It was the last Nintendo console that had great first and third party support.

[@wogardrodriguez9699]

Well not, it sold only 21 milions

[@Homosapien-ju6dz]

Unique look, Amazing Graphics, The option to play any gameboy or gameboy advanced games, really cool unique disc size. $149.00 then a drop to $99.00 with game bundle option. Multiple color option's. And at the time had awesome exclusives like The Resident Evil remake. It didn't sell the most ,but it stood out and was more unique than xbox and ps2. Ps2 had bigger game Library and played Dvd so it won the sell battle. I absolutely love the gamecube got it for my 12th birthday I'm 30 now. My oldest daughter only 4 years old just beat Soul Caliber 2. Just happy I lived during the 90s and have been able to watch how gaming has evolved. I miss the early 2000's. Gamecube forever..

[@AgnesGru2010]

Hopefully Nintendo Switch making new games including Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

[@adeadphish7931]

Cries remembering this was 100$ as I just payed 5× that for a PS5

[@jbwarner8626]

It launched at $200. Sales eventually slowed to such a crawl that Nintendo had to slash the price in half, and even stopped production on new GameCube consoles for a little while because they had so much unsold backstock. This thing just could not compete with the PS2's DVD player and the Xbox's online features. Now we're at a point where online functionality is so omnipresent in gaming that local multiplayer is a thing of the past, and unfinished games are regularly released with the assumption that, eh, they'll just patch everything else in later. Ironically, now we're nostalgic for the simplicity of the GameCube, the last console to represent the old-school days of friends sitting on a couch enjoying a good game together. It really is kind of a bygone era.

[@rulasmania]

Mario hitting a guy in the balls with a green shell lmao, also I wish this aesthetic came back it’s not as tacky as the 2008-10 era and it’s cooler

I still have my very same GameCube that I had when I was eight years old. The thing I miss the most about the game cube was having your friends with you when you gamed. New age gaming has us all alone on mic’s and it just isn’t the same man. This absolutely made my day 🙏🏼
