Every time you put out a new video, I'm blown away by the quality of your work. You're legit an inspiration, my friend. Thank you for all you do!

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

This means a ton man! Hearing this definitely makes all the hard work worth it! Thank you again, friend! Glad you enjoyed the video!

@@GameCubeGalaxy Question. If one pre-ordered Wind Waker back in the day, would they recieve the two back woth both OOT and WW? Or would they be given to you in two separate cases?

[@viddysgamingviddyos4710]

I've not even heard of a large portion of these besides Zelda, Sonic and Megaman. Nice to see em, and more so your coverage of how fun or faithful to the original releases they are all for game preservation.

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Glad you got to hear about a bunch of other games here! Thanks for checking it out man!

[@SMALLSandJOE]

I've always loved these compilation discs! When I was are 15 years old I got super interested in classic Namco arcade games. Namco Museum 50th Anniversary Edition was the PERFECT game for me and I spent so much time with it. I have bought many more of these within the last year or so like Midway Arcade Treasures 1 and 2, Intellivision Lives, Pinball Hall of Fame, etc! Great video, as always! Thanks for uploading this. Always love when I see a Gamecube Galaxy video newly released!

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Wow, that’s awesome man! Thanks for sharing your story on how you got into these compilations! Yeah, when I was about 11 years old, I got Namco Museum 64 as a Christmas gift from brother, who had his own copy I played first. I was fascinated by Dig Dug and Pole Position on there, and wanted my own copy. And ever since, I loved getting game compilations for consoles as they kept releasing moving forward. Glad you enjoyed the video! Your compliment means a lot as well!

[@RetroWolf_YT]

Fantastic video dude! I can tell you put a TON of work into it! I have always loved compilation packages like this and the Cube had some BANGERS

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Thank you man! Yes, this was a video I definitely invested a ton of time putting together. Capturing footage of essentially every game mentioned in each compilation (except Intellivision Lives since it was 60+ games lol) was quite the task, but one I've wanted to cover for a year now. Compilation packages are awesome, and it's a great way to preserve gaming history, and introduce games we may have missed back in the day. The GC definitely had some awesome ones! Glad you enjoyed the video man!

[@Mariowave94]

I remember being hyped getting Sonic Mega Collection at the time it was about to released in 2002 as I played Sonic 1 & 2 several years prior at a relatives house. Getting a chance to have both games along with the rest of the Genesis series of games was a huge deal for me and remains a sentimental game in my gamecube collection with Sonic 3 & Knuckles being my favorite game of all time. The Midway arcade treasures collections was another case having arcade perfect versions (minor emulation issues aside) of Midway/Williams introduced my love of arcade games of their respective eras.

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

The Sonic Mega Collection was a big deal for sure, and rightfully so. Such a fantastic compilation of Sonic Genesis titles. I also am a huge fan of the Midway Arcade Treasures series of games. Even despite minor emulation issues, they all played really well for the most part. Thanks for checking out the video!

[@djhowell5273]

I just started collecting again and I'm glad sonic is still cheap! I just spent 135 on metal gear solid and 100 on paper mario! It's getting tough out here for the OGs

[@RetroComparisons]

I may say this every time but this may be your best video yet! You are raising the bar for youtubers with your incredible content.

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Wow, thank you man! That truly means a lot!! Glad you really enjoyed the video!

[@Ty-douken]

I had no idea there was so many compilations from this era. That Namco Museum is something I really want to add to the collection now as I love a lot of those games from when I was a kid,but would appreciate the 16-bit coat of paint.

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Haha yeah, there was a good amount on the console for sure! I definitely recommend Namco Museum for those Arrangement games alone. They really provide for a great time with those new visuals and upgraded mechanics. Thanks for checking out the video man!

[@RetroGamingPandemic]

Awesome video! I definitely thought Midway 3 and Pacmania looked like a lot of fun! I can’t wait for the new TMNT collection especially as a Switch collector!

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Thank you man! Midway Arcade Treasures 3 is such an awesome compilation, especially since it contains games that are rarely re-released nowadays. Pac-Mania is so much fun! Definitely worth getting Namco Museum for that! Also, definitely can't wait for the TMNT Cowabunga Collection, and adding it to my Switch library. Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@claytonrios1]

You know I first heard of the Gauntlet franchise and Rampage World Tour through Midway Treasures 2. So you can probably attribute that compilation to the enduring popularity of Rampage even out of the arcades. It did lead to a fun movie with The Rock after all.

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Oh really?! That’s awesome! Yeah I knew about the Rampage movie, but didn’t see it. Hearing that’s it’s a fun movie, I may need to check it out!

[@DanofWar101]

This is the reason why I like games compilations as you have a ton of older games available to play on newer gen systems! I've never owned any of them on GC though... Now as the media storage is bigger like blu-ray discs, I wished that they would do a complete collection on 1 disc like combine both Sonic GC collections into 1 package! A ton of memories on some of those games like Marble Madness, Off Road (both on the NES and the arcade), Mega Man 2 and Sonic 1 just to name a few! Great video and keep up the good work!

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Combining these compilations onto a single format like Blu-Ray (or Switch cartridges) would be awesome! I'd love to see the Sonic one make its way to current gen hardware. Personally, I wish Midway Arcade Treasures 1-3 would get a Switch release to have on the go at all times! Glad you enjoyed the video man! Thanks again for checking it out!

[@Vakantscull]

I'd actually put off grabbing midway arcade treasures 3 because my mindset was "it's just racing games" and the fact there was only 8 games on there, but you've convinced me to grab it, even if its just for hydro thunder and rush 2049

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Haha yeah, many at the time felt Midway Arcade Treasures 3 was too minimal compared to its predecessors, but Hydro Thunder and Rush 2049 are well worth it alone! Hope you enjoy it when you get the game man! Thanks again for checking out the video!

[@HowToGameDifferently]

I really wish I got the Sonic mega collection back in the day. Interesting how Nintendo didn't do many of their own collections outside of Zelda. I'm sure a Mario one would have sold like crazy. Great video mate.

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Is the Sonic Mega Collection up in price in the UK? I feel like that's still a pretty cheap one to add to the GC collection here (thankfully). A Mario compilation would have sold like hotcakes if that released for the GameCube! Thanks again for checking out the video man!

[@themightymesprit7325]

I love Game Compilations and The ones on the GameCube are great. Some of my favorite Game Compilations are: SNK Classics Volume 1, Capcom Classics Collection Vol 1, Sonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection, etc. Great Episode as always GameCube Galaxy. Also Fun Fact: Midway Arcade Treasures 2 was rated M because of Mortal Kombat and is the only Game Compilation to be rated M by the ESRP.

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Oh man, all the ones you mentioned are excellent compilations as well! And that's right! Midway Arcade Treasure 2 had the M-rating all because of MK2 and MK3! Thanks again for checking out the episode, and glad you enjoyed it!

[@Heaaaps]

Midway arcade treasure is just great...some of these are mega rare to get on cube now in pal region. Great cover on these

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Agreed about Midway Arcade Treasures being awesome. I wasn’t aware some of these are rare in the PAL region! Glad you enjoyed the video man, thanks again for checking it out!

[@mtshark7]

Awesome video Marcello! I'm on the lookout for the Sonic Gems collection myself.

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Thank you man! Definitely recommend the Sonic Gems Collection if you can nab it for a reasonable price. I've seen it go down a bit into the $40+ range recently. Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@Owazrim]

Great video. Found some comilations I didn't know about. Well put together.

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video, and that you found out about more compilations!

[@MadSociety-uy6zg]

How do you not more subs seriously you deserve more subs.

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Thank you man, that truly means a lot! I just started the channel almost a year ago, and I'm floored at the current subscriber count I have now from the awesome fans!

[@MadSociety-uy6zg]

@@GameCubeGalaxy wow a little over thousand subs in just a year is amazing.

[@MegaHoro]

I have some of these; I just played through Mega Man Anniversary recently Excited for the upcoming Ninja Turtles compilation

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Nice! Which ones do you have? I’m also stoked for the TMNT Cowabunga Collection. Thanks again for checking out the video!

[@jackal27]

Great video! The Midway Treasures 3 review made me think that I’d love a list of games that play or perform better or best on Gamecube.

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Thank you man! That’s an idea that would be awesome to do, and may have to explore at some point! Would definitely provide for some interesting comparisons! Now I just need to get my PS2 and Dreamcast repaired so I can draw games from those consoles, that released games on the GameCube as well. Thanks again for checking out the video!

[@EllipseGamer]

Fantastic video dude!

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Thank you man! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@SonicandRatchetCo]

Sick I just found this! Sadly some compilations didn't make the cut for the Cube like the Sega Genesis Collection, Street Fighter Anniversary Collection and Alpha Anthology, Atari Anthology, Activision Anthology and Capcom Classics Collections (Bizarre they ain't on the Cube considering Namco and Midway put their arcade hits on the same console). Outside of that, these pretty much served their purpose allowing people who lack or no longer have access to older consoles or the arcades, give people the ability to play games they might've miss due to console brand loyalty or flew past their radar and allow the younger generation games get a glimpse to what gaming is like pre-2000s. I always try to get as much as I can on Switch with the collections they offered. I have the TMNT Cowabunga Collection, various Mega Man Legacy Collections (I prefer Classic, X and Zero, but enjoyed my time with Battle Network), Street Fighter 30th Anniversary, Sega Genesis Classics, Sonic Origins Plus, Castlevania Anniversary and Advance Collections and Contra Anniversary Collection and I'm pretty much satisfied with those. Planning to get the Neo Geo Pocket Color Selection Volumes, Namco Museum Archives Vol 1 and 2, Pac-Man Museum Plus, Atari collections, Samurai Shodown Collection, Capcom Beat Em' Up Bundle and Fighting Collection, Blizzard Arcade Collection, Aladdin, Lion King and Jungle Book Collection and SNK 40th Collection and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Mega Man Legends and Star Force Legacy Collections, KOF '94 - 2003, Fatal Fury, Metal Slug and Art of Fighting, new Midway and Activison, Legacy of Kain and Earthworm Jim collections. Also patiently waiting for a release date for the Gex Trilogy.

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Glad you just came across this episode, and one I loved working on! Yes, I really wish the other compilations you mentioned would've released on the GameCube as well. I do think the Switch has been a brilliant avenue to provide these classics, whether in collection forms or individual releases (Arcade Archives). Oh man, the Gex Trilogy I'm stoked for also! Thanks for checking out the video man!

[@SEGAblocks]

Excellent topic dude! Compilation will always be the best way to preserve and a great bang for your buck! I own many of the ones mentioned here but still some I would like to go back and visit. Hydro Thunder *Cough* haha And where would I be without mentioning the Two Sonic collections? I was super stoked to find the Gems collections! Such a fantastic compilation that as you said is creeping higher and higher in price. Definitely one for people to keep an eye out for. Thanks for sharing man! Stay awesome GCG! 🤘🙏❤️

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Thank you man! Yeah, compilations are a great way to preserve classic games on consoles. Hydro Thunder is so good! And yes, the Sonic compilations are awesome, but that Gems’ one is getting more rare! Glad you enjoyed the video man!!

[@LameDadRetroGamer]

I was really glad to get the sonic mega collection from VGM even though it wasn’t CIB or even had a case it’s a fantastic collection

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

It's definitely an excellent collection! Thanks for checking out the video man!

[@rynocerator9371]

Great Video Dude!

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Thank you man! Really appreciate you checking it out!

[@Stickers2Go]

I really love Rare Replay on the xbox, playing conkers for that cheap is amazing and it's hd. Oh, also the recent Atari 50 compilation is awesome too as I never had a chance to play on those older consoles.

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Rare Replay is an amazing compilation for sure (and honestly one of the few reasons I’ve kept my Xbox One lol). The Atari 50th Anniversary is also an awesome one with a ton of content crammed into it. Glad to see they put Jaguar games on there to play, but wish there were a few more of those games to play on the compilation lol. Thanks for checking out this video!

[@reygamingchannel1505]

Great Video! I need the pinball collection. I just got the intellevision one because it was dirt cheap and I have never play those games. I love the retro gaming collections from the gamecube, that's another great reason the gamecube is the best console ever!

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Thank you man! The pinball one is a good one, and that’s great you got the Intellivision Lives compilation! I always love retro gaming compilations, and this was an episode I had in mind since I started the channel. Glad you enjoyed it man! GameCube FTW!

[@jacklindsey8400]

I had most of these, only one I wish you could have talked about was activision anthology but that was only on the ps2 and pc (with a completely different soundtrack on the PC!) but nice trip down memory lane

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Oh man, the Activision Anthology is an awesome one! I had the PSP version of that (as you probably noticed in the intro shot of games). Would've been awesome if it was on the GameCube. Thanks again for checking out the video!

[@ringfitmaster3079]

In the mid 2000s shortly after the GC was discontinued I remember picking up a couple of these game compilations. At the time the two I remember buying first were Sonic Gems Collection and Megaman X collection. At the time most people were Megamaned out after Capcom milked the series for years & Sonic 06 kind of tarnished his reputation along with some bad wii games. They were both under $5.00 CAD both cib.

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Good thing you got both of those compilations for cheap back then (and CiB)! Thanks for checking out the video, and sharing that story!

[@dustheg]

I have all but one of these and I'm getting ready to go for it. I bought guy t these all when I first got my gamecube when they released. I always felt like I got my money's worth when it came to buying game compilations

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Nice! Which one were you missing?

[@dustheg]

@@GameCubeGalaxy midway arcade treasures 3. I know where to buy it just gotta decide if I wanna pull the trigger on it now or hold out a little longer. As I was horrible at arc ade racers I've been on the fence with that one for as long as I remember thinking I may not get as much enjoyment out of it at it's current 25 or 30$ price tag is

[@chris_zanetti_manga_art]

*GREAT VIDEO!!! I SUBSCRIBED!!!* 😍👌✅✅🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆✅✅👌👍

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Awesome thank you!

[@antiquecardboard]

I bought Midway Arcade Treasures 3 for PS2 a couple years ago after researching that the PS2 version played the best. Interesting to hear you note that the gamecube version plays better. I have never directly compared them myself but I am always interested in performance comparisons between PS2/GC/Xbox. I might have to pick up the GC version.

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Yeah, Midway Arcade Treasures 3 definitely performed worse on PS2. The GC version performed better, while the Xbox version did perform the best. If I can get a way to capture PS2 and Xbox footage, I may do a comparison video in the future! Thanks for checking out the video!

[@evan-clare]

Link's awakening and Zelda 2 are different games for different systems

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

That they are lol. I meant to say “The Adventure of Link”, but clearly had Link’s Awakening on my mind lol

[@bradpruitt896]

I'm gonna pick up Mega Man X and Pinball!!!

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Both great compilations! The Mega Man X Collection is really awesome!

[@MrTamiya89]

I Like THE NINTENDO Gamecube VIDEO GAME'S. 😃👍.
