GameCube Games That Aged Beautifully

Alright you've convinced me. I'll get a Gamecube (again) instead of a PS5.

[@AndrewTime9106]

The correct choice 👌🏻

[@stephentaylor3437]

Still have my GameCube, but I've started collecting games for it again too

[@AndDeathForAll82]

Wise decision

[@pharmcat8484]

Careful, the PS5 games are probably cheaper by this point

People in the modern era love to give Star Fox Adventures flak for "not being a real Star Fox game", but it is still one of the most stunning games of not just the Nintendo GameCube's library, but the 6th console generation, both on an aesthetic and technical graphical level.

[@BlueKudu-33]

I still have my RE4 limited ed silver GC, it has always been one of the jewels of my collection! Such a neat little console, I love it ❤️

[@ScottMakesGames]

I think the art style can help a lot in preserving these older games

[@elone3997]

Totally got pulled over and got given a speeding ticket today. The officer showed me the speed readout and I said "Kmpo doesn't exist mate". He looked a bit put out, grunted then just drove off. Win.

Kinda shocked METROID PRIME isn't on here as IMO it has aged better than ANY game from that era. Visually i remember just being absolutely blown away playing it in 2002, And even today its still an absolutely gorgeous game, To this day no game has managed to immerse me into its world quite like Prime did. The aesthetics were just off the charts, Attention to detail is crazy, 60 FPS makes for incredibly smooth performance & Musically its perfection, Every track just fits its location so well and adds to an already excellent atmosphere. It still blows my mind that they were able to make a game that looks and plays THAT good for its time. Edit: I'm aware you were trying not to just list the "Best" Gamecube titles, But in the case of Prime, It really has aged like fine wine, Like personally if your gonna include RE4, I don't see how you exclude Metroid Prime.

[@carmawarlock8455]

Ya i woulda swapped prime for RE4. It was the beginning of the period of drab brown and grey tones that plagued the next genaration.

[@lukegraf9365]

Speak for yourself. I enjoy those tones.

[@drewdman10]

i was a huge fan of sly Cooper's art direction when it came out and i remember being really excited to see the cel shaded art style being used for wind waker. I remember being surprised at how the internet at the time reacted to the choice. Obviously it has aged very well. I always say: art direction > realistic graphics any day The capcom 5 game that didnt release was dead phoenix!

[@SugeryGold]

Sly cooper is goated fr definitely one of the best series when it comes to how it’s aged imo

Simple doesn’t mean easy. A lesson I’ve learned in my 40 years on Earth.

[@kaneofnod]

Even my non-gamer wife was surprised at the GC's graphics when it loaded it up. She now loves Double Dash. Also, the problem with windwaker is the abysmal draw distance.

[@adamphillip5305]

Currently playing through Starfox Adventures again & tho some gameplay elements probably haven't aged too great it still looks damn stunning

[@WolfHreda]

I just introduced my son to F-Zero GX yesterday. He loves it.

[@dumbstruckempire]

It's hard to watch something like this with any kind of objectivity for me because as far as I'm concerned, it's all beautiful. Even the stuff that visually aged poorly has charm for me. I don't always expect other people to see that charm, especially if they're much younger, but charm nevertheless.

[@MrSerpico145]

There is definitely a beauty to the aesthetic of the time. It was a style of its own, and I feel the same for the older generations as well.

[@turismofoegaming8806]

I feel like this all the time Also and I used to be criticized by my friends for liking certain games?! They just couldn't see the beauty

[@dumbstruckempire]

@@MrSerpico145 Something about GameCube in particular for me is that it combined those aesthetics with a company that was still doing pretty weird stuff with their characters. Super Mario Sunshine alone is a little bonkers on paper lol

Not only is Super Monkey Ball made by the same developers as F-Zero GX, but It think it's also basically the same engine. Imagine playing both of those games combined. "Make super-precise jumps at 2000 kilometers per owl!"

[@vitamind.d.fishinsea8570]

I think ironically super monkeyball sums up the cube pretty well - simple, fun, sublime and kinda genius at times.

[@alexanderjones3830]

That's an interesting way to say aesthetic. Not being insulting. Accents are interesting.

Dead Phoenix will never rise from the ashes

[@villevn]

Still waiting for a re-release of Viewtiful Joe 1 & 2 for the modern consoles...

[@pharmcat8484]

I never played much GameCube. By the time it came out I was working 2 jobs and managing my high school football (American) team. But my younger brother loved it.

[@AngloLee]

Viewtiful Joe was a fever dream for me. Great game.

[@Outrack]

Dread to think of how many people had an awakening to degeneracy with game 10.

[@KiuanTroll]

F-zero mentioned, i like the video.

[@MistaShawn]

I missed out on the Gamecube. Too busy with Final Fantasy X and Manhunt on my younger bros PS2. I also missed out on the Dreamcast and the legendary Neo Geo. Thank God for emulators. I missed out on sooooo much. But it sure is fun going back as an adult. I can appreciate this stuff that much more.

[@steveleavell114]

Dead Phoenix. When upscaling the graphics and making them widescreen using a HD converter or Dolphin, Gamecube graphics match or surpass Switch.

[@mekman4]

Great Stuff, as always!

The best part of F-Zero GX is being able to play the arcade AX on disc.

Viewtiful Joe is a classic , giving today games are all hyper realistic art style , and boing gameplay

[@JustinSunseri]

is the Wind Waker footage you were showing from the WiiU? sure looks like it

[@SlippyMcKnot8472]

Link is undeniably a staple in gaming, but saying the other two had "decent" guest characters is a huge stretch. Spawn is fundamentally cooler than Link.

[@CMc-v7z]

Rogue Squadron 2 still looks banging.

[@thebayareacollector97]

The Capcom Five game that never came out was Dead Phoenix 😎👍

[@Shmey]

Oh, man. I really miss Viewtiful Joe and F-Zero GX. Most of the first-party titles were simply great. Battalion Wars was a surprising miss for me, but that's less because of itself and more because I am susceptible to simulation sickness. BW was one of the few GCN games that triggered it. I had a great collection of GCN games. I wish I still had them.

[@Tom-w3n]

ROBOTECH Battlecry still looks good and holds up

[@Fanafranky]

F-Zero GX: the only game I have sold and bought again more than twice solely because the difficulty pissed me off 😂

I played the first Rogue Squadron on Windows, and I was looking forward to playing the sequel. I'm still pissed that they made it a Gamecube exclusive, along with the third game. I still haven't played it because my system is too slow to run Dolphin. If there was a P2 version, I'd probably be able to play that in PCSX2, but Dolphin runs like crap.

I've always wondered if you had a GameCube during it's era, were you a kid who were already entrenched in Nintendo-dem? Because i can't see adults who bought one when the PS2 was out.

[@dangox3370]

I think the RE remake is more deserving of a spot on this list than RE4. I recently played remake for the very first time and was absolutely blown away by the gorgeous graphics. I've never been a big fan of pre-rendered stuff especially nowadays on big TVs as those backgrounds look like low res jpgs. But remake finally did the art style justice.

[@joelalain]

wind waker is the worst zelda ever and not worth playing. this game doesn't merit any of the praise it gets. the dungeons are by far the worst and least fun or original or creative. the sailing is tedious to no end and make you go back and forth endlessly from one end of the map to the next. i couldn't force myself to go past 50% of the game and i almost never give up on games. this one sucks: pass it
