Hearing the game cube start up brings back so many memories.

[@Elico-du1oi]

thebigCW Calm down , gamecube is only 16 years old!

[@jonathanevans5566]

If someone were ~28-30 years old then the Gamecube would have been released at a perfect time for them to have gotten it as a first home console...

[@Elico-du1oi]

awesomegamer919 Nah,those in their late 20s was the perfect time to buy a gamecube whilst those in there early 20s was the perfect time to buy a gamecube IMO!

[@Logos729]

I feel like, in terms of games, the gamecube was the best console ever. I may have not lived through that era, but bro, Pikmin, smash melee, metroid prime, windwaker, mario sunshine, double dash, luigi's mansion, I would have LOVED to be a nintendo fan during that era.

[@Elico-du1oi]

dannydude 64 same with the ds/wii era

[@RuddsReels]

I still think the Gamecube start up screen is the best one ever made! Simple because of the double meaning logo and the clever cube animation making more relevance to the Gamecube name.

[@gewdvibes]

[@RichardBlaziken]

This is easily the best era for Nintendo fans. Between the 3DS's stellar library and the Switch's bright horizons, the only thing that could hold Nintendo back now is Nintendo.

[@j800r]

The best era for them was 8-bit to 16-bit. They dominated. The Switch is more a recovery.

[@AlexfromNorway]

the best era was Wii, when Nintendo just released Masterpiece after Masterpiece, and never looked back.

[@AVAL2775]

Psvita is better then the 3ds by a long mile, and PS4 still blows the switch out of the water on it's weakest day

[@RandomHandle837]

@@AVAL2775 comparing a 5 year old powerhouse of a console To A 1.5 year old hybrid is not a fair comparison

[@KindOldRaven]

@@AVAL2775 Because of what, exactly? I mean I really wanted to play Bloodborne and God of War and Uncharted and The Last of Us... but I probably won't play them again in at least a few years... and by then I'm probably on something new. Mariokart, Smash and even mucking around in Zelda offers me much more replayability. For pure graphics and competitive gaming, I've got a PC though. Saying that to imply I don't need a Ps4 or Xbox One for my AAA games like the Witcher/Cyberpunk 2077 etc.

[@SlyBeast]

Boy did I love the Gamecube. What a masterpiece.

[@juanrobles4525]

The gamecube for me was Nintendo's best console. I have so much memories with it. Playing Mario Party 7, Super Mario Sunshine, Pokemon Gale of Darkness and Colosseum.. just to name a few. I absolutely loved the gamecube.

I think everyone's favourite Nintendo console is the one they grew up with. I also love the GameCube. I feel like the older consoles get, the more I like them 😂 I guess I just like retro stuff.

[@andresayala1744]

The GameCube is by far my favorite! :) I still have mine, and I still play it! :) not as much now since I got the switch. :) but the GameCube will always be in my heart. And MarioKart Double Dash will forever be the best MarioKart game in my opinion! :)

[@charlescampuz5812]

It's also their most underrated console because people at the time though it was geared for children when, oh no, they realized too late that they just missed out on all the excellent titles.

[@i.dig.wax.5805]

All the Nintendo consoles are great.But for me growing up in the '80s the original NES was something magical at the time.It's hard to explain the impact it had unless you grew up in that era and experienced it for yourself.

[@VvTaranvV]

I got an NES in 88 I believe the action pack one and I loved that thing to death, but the SNES blew me away as a kid when it came out. I was like, look at all the colors maaaaaaan.

[@i.dig.wax.5805]

VvNeo2000vV I know right.Compared to vhs and TV broadcast video games were like the HD of the 80's.

[@VvTaranvV]

NES to SNES was like 480 to 1080 lol

[@morganstanley2344]

I loved the nes and snes. Played them a lot same with the n64 because of Zelda and goldeneye. I played GameCube quite a bit but only with friends really. Now my favorite is definitely my switch. I play it more than the PS4 or Xbox one.

[@briancooley8777]

SNES master race

[@retiredhater]

I can't believe GameCube sold so poorly, that console was everything for me. In my head I would've expected it to have higher sales than the n64

[@zachhancock2692]

If you pair it with the Gameboy Player it becomes an even more awesome system.

[@Lupo32]

AyJayG002 GameCube was more towards lil kids , adults and teens had ps2 and Xbox .

[@NoNamE-jk9pn]

AyJayG002 If Nintendo used normal Dvd disks instead of proprietary mini disks, then yes the GC would've sold probably double the N64 sales since it was an amazing system

[@vulgrim909]

Wrong, more kids had those consoles dude, i had people in my family buy me, n64, xboxes and ps2's when i was fucking 5.

[@perfboi69]

N64 will always have the most special place in my heart! Getting a switch once I can afford one though

[@mrmc101]

I hate the fact that people pick on Nintendo for having fewer powerhouse consoles. I don't need intense graphics to play Halo or Mario. And yes it's very nice to look at but sometimes pretty gets in the way of actual gameplay and there's way too much going on in the game. But it's still good to have nice graphics.

[@dalestoddard2742]

That open world zelda wouldn't have been possible without the hardware to power it. More power doesn't necessarily mean more pixels.

[@majdsaadems]

ZEmBaNu Nega yeah cause the fan who made that remake doesn't have the rights to it. The game is still up and you can download it for anywhere you want. Nintendo they had to take action since they were making a remake for that same game. You could have stopped the development before that remake was done but they didn't. Also what part of the switch is a gimmick now? The fact that it's portable and a home console at the same time? Cause it does that perfectly in my opinion

[@majdsaadems]

ZEmBaNu Nega lol. No he doesnt. There's something called copyright. It affects the company and their sales and they have all rights to bring down that game. Also as i said you can still download the game. It's been in the making for 10 years and nintendo left it without trying to bring it down. When they decided to make an actual remake for the same game they just made him cease development. The game has already been done anyway. I am in no way a "nintendo fanboy" I'm just following logic. You dont think you're being a bit too extremist? They're still one of the few companies that don't use shitty microtransactions. And no amiibos aren't really microtransactions since you're buying an actual nice figure that gives you extra bonuses in some games and can be used multiple times not just once. And the switch has quite a few good games you just havent seen anything other than zelda lol. Mario odyssey was close to being GOTY. I am a pc gamer myself but i enjoy my switch quite a lot

[@dalestoddard2742]

What if you don't want the amiibo?

[@majdsaadems]

[@smf763]

Sony and Xbox mostly go for graphics and the gamer type of people. Nintendo doesn’t always focus on graphics they make sure the games are fun and easy to play by anyone, from 7 year olds to 70 year olds. And I can definitely agree with quality. I have a Wii that’s literally from the launch in 2006 and it still works perfectly fine. Sure it’s a tiny bit loud but I’ve gotten used to it and actually forget that it’s loud. I also have a switch that is almost a year old now I think and it’s amazing. But don’t get me wrong PlayStation and Xbox Is cool. I just like Nintendo better, it’s fun and a memory maker

[@Reyelguey]

[@bjbarlowe]

You hit the nail on the head when you said that processing power matters a lot less now. If I want great processing power, I'm not going to buy a an Xbox or a Playstation. I'll just buy a computer that can run games even better and let me do all the other things I use my PC for. The Switch is great, because of its flexibility and innovation. That's what people want now.

[@Sceptonic]

Gergő Kovács I personally dont give a shit about exclusives, so that isnt an issue for me. I'm content with my Xbox One S and 3DS and PS3

[@preciousroihomeshoppingnet7908]

I'm kinda sick of hearing about how everyone wants innovation. First, I'm not entirely convinced its true, even a little bit. What even core Nintendo Fanboys want is MORE games from their favored IP. Would *you* rather have something from the Nintendo Mystery Innovation Bin or a new Mario Kart, Zelda, or Metroid game? Has everyone forgotten how poetically people waxed about Nintendo's innovation with the Wii...and as soon as they ran out of breath they packed the thing off into the closet where it is gathering dust to this day. I would wager that the Wii has the lowest number sold/hours played ratio of any major console ever. Not because no one played it, LOTS of people bought them and played it...its just those inflated numbers betray it, the ones who weren't committed to the various Nintendo IPs just didn't play it very much, or very long.

[@mobiusZero2]

Ben switch will follow it's processors. It won't last

[@sinancothebest]

swich has the advantage of shining off-season. PS5 and X-box TWO aren't coming anytime soon. So aside from core console gamers the only gaming devices that matter are PC and Switch. Nintendo should work on widening its market with switch. It should reach out to Eastern Europe, Africa, Asia, Middle East...

[@huleyn135]

that's what people want and that's why playstation has been outselling the fuck out of nintendo for the last few generations other than wii.

[@Omegajunior2658]

Back in the early 2000s, I read one of the British Nintendo magazines and I discovered that the Japanese company Nintendo was founded in 1889 and their first products were playing cards. I hadn't realised that. I thought the company Nintendo was founded in around the 1970s, 1960s or 1950s. Anyway I used to have a N64 Game Boy Colour, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo Gamecube, Nintendo DS, Nintendo DSI, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo Wii U. Now I have a Nintendo Switch and a mini NES. Hello from Ireland 🇮🇪

[@rowanreynolds586]

I love the GameCube and n64. I was born during the transition from n64 to gcn and played both. A lot of my childhood was spent playing them.

[@IamNOVAone]

People love to hate on the Wii u but I have played mine everyday since Smash 4 was released. (can't get enough 1on1 online) I have an Xbox one and a ps4 and still find myself playing the Wii u.

[@kylefunderburk4194]

The only reasons why the Wii U didn't sell is because of terrible marketing and because Sony and Microsoft released their consoles too early. The Wii U had great third party support early on with Assassin's Creed III & IV, Call of Duty Black Ops II & Ghosts, Madden & FIFA 13, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, etc. But poor sales after two years and upcoming new consoles pushed developers away. But Microsoft and Sony still released the Xbox One and PS4 too early. They weren't a big enough jump in overall quality to warrant a release in 2013. What is the PS4 Pro should have been the base PS4 and what is the One S should be the base XBox One. The Wii U should have had four years as the most powerful console, better marketing would have kept developers on board. Everything that​ the 360 and PS3 got would have also been released on the Wii U.

[@therealsploge]

Christian Young I'd be playing it everyday but unfortunately my launch gamepads range is diminished, I have to be one foot away. Gotta send it back to Nintendo. If you have a Wii or Wii u send me your friend code.

[@xashmak1892]

I don't understand the existence of the ps4 and xbox 1. there just a pc in a console nowadays. Nintendo's consoles actually try to revolutionize gaming. Nintendo and Valve are like the Albert Einsteins in Gaming

[@kylefunderburk4194]

Midna78 How many people actually watched that press event? I'd guess more casual gamers (the majority) did not. Outside of Cartoon Network, Disney and Nickleodeon, how many times did you see an advertisement for the Wii U on TV? For two years, how much of Wii U's marketing was only centered around the game pad? Whoever was in charge of marketing the Wii U in America should have been fired.

[@wstube5252]

Christian Young I don't have a Wii U but if I did have one I would basically use it as a Smash 4 machine. That game is pretty darn awesome. I could play that for hours and I would not be bored

"Now you're playing with power" an ironic quote nowadays

[@nicolassuarez6219]

William R.F. You are, but with slightly less

[@trenzinhodaalegria8012]

Not slightly. The Wii and WiiU were much much weaker in terms of hardware than the competition, even when compared to mobile hardware that was already available at the time. The WiiU is based on a 1998 architecture which became increasingly more costly to maintain over the years, the PowerPC 750 (Same architecture used in the PowerMac G3, Gamecube and Wii). The Xbox 360's PowerPC 970FX was actually a lot better than that, the WiiU's only advantage over the Xbox 360 was the GPU and nothing else... Only the Switch is more comparable to the current consoles because finally a CISC Nintendo console and with fairly modern ARM architecture. Sure that it could be better with Nvidia's upcoming Tegra X2 but still the ARM Cortex A53 and A57 used on the Switch's Tegra X1 is a LOT better than the PowerPC 750 that Nintendo used on it's consoles for 18 years.

Nintendo has honestly been a huge part of my life, I have every one of their consoles! But my question is: what are they gonna do after the switch? They can't just make another hybrid console, because it would be too similar to the switch, but I also think people would miss having a hand held and home console all in one. It seems like they've reached a dead it. But of course that's what I said about the Wii, and they've made 2 amazing consoles since then.

[@victorfranca17]

They are going to make a smartphone with good controllers. Or good controllers that run on the current smartphone hardware. That can be attached and detached from the phone just like the switch. I like the switch but its too big to be a true portable for me. The games I play on the go are not the same games I like to play on a huge tv. When the time comes, hardware will be small and powerful enough to run AAA games on a smartphone sized device. So you will just either wireless connect to the large display or dock it. And be able to play the same games on the go, with the small screen on the device if you like. But I need my portable console to be portable, not an ipad with controllers. More like an Iphone with hardware controllers. Heck, by that time you might be able to have a cost effective projector attached to the micro console. If nintendo made a smart phone console, I would buy it.

Great video. I grew with the NES (well, an MSX really) and all these last years I've been hoping Nintendo reach the glory of the SNES again. Now I think that was a whimsical thought and I am simply happy to look forward to what the Switch will bring to us. ^_^

[@jamierowe_]

Omg this video really took me back besides the NES i remember when all these came out, the state of gaming,what everyone n myself wanted....ahhh that was a fun trip accented by falcons natural ability to narrate great vid 👍👏🤘....p.s i always loved N64 and thought still to this day that all the consoles of that time made the biggest jumps in all categories like 3d graphics, color, resolution, etc..

[@syntheticsleep]

SNES is BY FAR my favorite Nintendo hardware, and I think it represents a high-water mark not only for Nintendo, but for video games in general. That being said, I do plan on getting a Switch, and haven't actually been excited about a Nintendo console since 1996. I like for games to look good, but I demand games to BE good, and that's something that Nintendo has always been good for. Sure, the Switch won't play Far Cry 5 in 4K or something, but I think it's going to have a great library nonetheless.

Gergő Kovács thank you! For the love of fuck! I wish people would care about more than just graphics! But sadly, you can't wish that upon everyone…

[@BlindMelonLord]

Speaking of gameplay over graphics… There are sometimes when I like to go back and just play our N64. Since we still have one. People like to think of those graphics as, aged horribly… But do I give a shit? Answer in short… No. I still love playing it. Even though my sister has the one that my brother and I got for Christmas in 98. And then my brother has his own sitting in the media room. But we all can still play it. Hell… He's even got some games we didn't play as a kid. Conker's Bad Fur Day anyone? LOL. 😀 and I also own my own Wii U. With a few games. Including a copy of Breath of the Wild I just got recently for my birthday. I'm having fun with it personally. And I also love playing my other games now and again including Sm4sh and Mario Kart 8.

Qazi Islam it did get released on the GameCube as a part of the windwaker collection. Ocarina of Time got rereleased multiple times with only minor updates (first on the GameCube, then on the wii virtual console, and finally on the 3ds) to its graphics.

[@qaziislam2849]

Jake Alter No it did not. A port called Ocarina of Time Master Quest did ;) but there was no Ocarina of Time on the GameCube :P

[@Gulyus]

Actually...there was TWO collection discs that contained Ocarina of Time. The first disc was Ocarina of Time AND OoT Master Quest. www.gamestop.com/games/the-legend-of-zelda-ocarina-of-time-master-quest/28059 The second disc pair, which is FAR rarer, contained The Legend of Zelda (original), LoZ II The Adventure of Link, Ocarina of Time, and Majora's Mask. zelda.gamepedia.com/The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Collector%27s_Edition So yeah...Ocarina of Time has a version that is playable on the N64, the 3ds, and the Gamecube. Still not the most expensive Gamecube related item - that would be the LoZ/Metroid Prime dual feature. The Box is worth $250. Not the games, the BOX. www.ebay.com/itm/Legend-of-Zelda-The-Wind-Waker-Metroid-Prime-Combo-Nintendo-GameCube-/182561921870

Great vid! I loved the GameCube, it had 2 of my favourite games of all time on it (Metroid Prime and Res Evil 4). I was a huge fan of the N64- that also had one if my all time faves - Occarina of Time. BUT I have to go with the mighty SNES. Super Metroid, Mario World, Mario Kart (still the best one IMO) and A Link to the Past! Gotta love the big N.

[@SevCaswell]

I have massive nostalgia for the Gamecube (I still play mine), as that was the first console I ever bought. It helped me throught several rough years, and you could say saved my life. Windwaker was the first game I got for it, but the GC port of the Dreamcast game Skies of Arcadia is my favourite. We had a secondhand Genesis (Mega Drive where I live) for about 2 weeks of the holidays, when I was 12, before my dad deliberatly broke it, but I don't count that. (He wanted to be our hero by fixing it but he didn't understand it and broke it completely. He discovered there was a floppy disc in it and removed it, no doubt thinking that simply putting it back would fix it, it didn't)

I want a Nintendo switch. I used to be all Nintendo. Had a nes Snes n64 then switched to Xbox Xbox 360 Xbox one. Bought a Wii U just after the switch LOVE THE WII U. That's how I rock breath of the wild, on the Wii U looks amazing. Herd the Wii U runs it better than the switch as the switch version is essentially a Wii U port. But still nobody has any switches for sale here. Also they're quite expensive at $400 in Canada. I'll stick with my 3ds and Wii U as I am slowly experiencing all the great games the Wii U has.

Nintendo 64's controller, "It really looks bizarre now..." Let's be real. It was bizarre when it launched in 1996 and it never ceased being bizarre. The design choice and motivation makes sense, but Sony managed to outclass them with the DualShock and that's where GameCube followed suit :)
