More GameCube Hidden Gems

[@andradeterceiro]

I am learning english with your videos, you speak clearly and more slowly. In my country is difficult to find about Nintendo, so i look fort this in American channels on KZbin. Congratulations, your videos is incredible!

[@MetalJesusRocks]

So glad you are enjoying my videos Paulo. Greetings from Seattle USA!

[@Ivinhomaneirinho]

are you brazillian? Because i am too! I learned english entirely through the internet and i wish you luck at your journey!

[@dwaynemenzies8824]

That is awesome.

[@Kaiketsu_Zubat]

@@Ivinhomaneirinho im brazillian too and wish luck for ours in this 2019. Thanks a Lot for your videos MJR best KZbinr for me.

[@stvgrz9394]

I learned english from KZbin..

[@dr4c0blade]

Two other games I can think of that belong on this list: "Metal Arms: Glich in the System" and "Gladius." "Metal Arms" was a third person shooter that had fun weapons, challenging gameplay and a robust campaign mode, and "Gladius" was a real time strategy game where had up your gladiator school and had to recrut members while working your way to the top. Neither games were Gamecube exclusive, but are both so good and so little remembered that I think they both deserve a mention.

[@scoobyrex247]

dr4c0blade spot on

[@MexIcAnBnRz]

Loved metal arms! Oh man the zombie robot was so stressful when your patner was on the conveyor belt....

[@SergeantSatire]

out of the systems from that gen (PS2, Xbox, GCUBE) the gamecube controller is by far the best for me. It fits so snug in your hands and the two trigger buttons are fantastic.

[@SergeantSatire]

***** From what I hear, the Gamecube was actually the most graphically powerful from the generation. It's just that not enough games were made to prove it. But goddamn, the ones that did show it off...showed it off (Resident Evil 4, Twilight Princess, Rogue Leader)

[@johntyler3544]

***** That's not entirely true, the xbox was the most powerful system of the time but the Gamecube was almost as powerful, it probably could've been better graphically if the discs were bigger but it usually had great performance anyway and nothing looks distractingly bad and when it came to 3rd party games it was always good, the Gamecube and the PS2 to me have some of the best controllers ever though in my opinion.

[@SergeantSatire]

john tyler I don't doubt that. The Xbox was made from PC parts, right?

[@johntyler3544]

***** I think so, obviously a low-grade PC by today's standard but maybe even low-grade for the time just to keep costs down, the Xbox and the Gamecube usually had the best performances during the 6th gen though.

[@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess]

The best to me is the Xbox. It's the best ever controller imo the 360 is the perfect iteration of it

[@The_Dejected_King]

Pac-Man vs is a really fun game. It also works on the wii and there's a NDS version on Namco Museum DS but you'll need a few more NDSs (up to 4) to play multiplayer but you only need 1 game cartridge. I have alot of these game. As always great video! And as far as the controller people still prefer that controller especially for Smash bros. They are even making a new adapter for the Wii U so you can use Gamecube controllers on it. So that gotta tell you something. lol

[@Cgro2767]

Love these hidden gems videos! Thanks for all the time and effort you put into these - love watching the gameplay footage and finding more games to add to my ever-growing collection!

[@InsaneWayne355]

Another great list Metal Jesus, good job! Not so sure I'd call Tales Of Symphonia a "Hidden" Gem though. The game is so popular it's actually quite difficult to find, because no one wants to let go of it. lol

[@Joninexamgraduate]

The Gamecube controller is FANTASTIC, in fact it's my 2nd favorite 3D gaming console controller after the Xbox 360. Generally, Gamecube multiplatform games have a sort of "smooth" and silky quality type filter over them, just look at Timesplitters 2 for the PS2, and then for the Gamecube; BIG difference.

[@Coleio100]

happy to see INinja in there i played that game all the time when i was younger!

[@corgi0077]

Spongebob: Battle for Bikini Bottom is one of my favorite games of all time.

[@TheGamerhubNL]

If you're ever planning on doing another episode of the Gamecube Hidden Gems series, I'd like to see Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy. In my opinion it's one of the best games for the GameCube, despite the fact it had some bugs at some points in the game. Also the characters had great disign but they didn't talk, so you had to read all of it to understand the story. Not a big problem, still a fantastic game.

[@Rayhaku808]

Omg I clicked because I saw Gotcha Force on the thumbnail. That game is very much hidden. Mostly the critics fault. Capcom themselves really liked the game too. I hope they remaster it or remake it for the switch.

[@Rayhaku808]

Oh so I've been here already, nice.

[@SocialistSkeptic]

Gotcha Force is especially a great game for kids, if you have a couple of Xbox controllers and Nintendo Dolphin, throwing that on the screen can keep kids busy for days.

[@TheTankbus]

I wouldn't say its just for kids.

[@SocialistSkeptic]

TankBus Sure it's good for adults too but it's a great kid friendly game that's easy to play, looks great, and has a lot of appeal to younger gamers. I have a nephew hooked up with a Dolphin Emulator who's spent basically weeks playing it. He hasn't been that into a game since I hooked him up with Pokemon Gaia.

[@sonicdoesfrontflips]

The best thing about the controller is how it fits in your hands. I find that the sticks, triggers and button layout are perfect for GCN exclusives, despite how "different" they are. Only problem is that the button layout can be inferior to the traditional diamond layout on the dualshock and wii classic controller, when playing Megaman X Collection, or Donkey Kong Country, for example.

[@richyroa]

TO PLAY X COLLECTION, I hold the controller differently to access the b, a, and x button at the same time (like, my right hand as if I was playing on keyboard); works for me as I have made some successful no damage speed runs on the console (dash-jumps+charge shot super easy to perform that way, plus easier difficulty overall on cube compared to originals). Some friends say that holding the control like that causes stress and knuckle pain, but to me it's super comfy to play Smash, VC games, and pretty much every emulator with it. I only LOATH the pad and stick because they are not precise for fighting games (have big hands haha), and my thumb rolls all over the place when trying motions (can't do 360° with Gief at all). PS controllers might be the best after sticks for fighting games after all.

[@CrazyPCgamercatguy]

The controller had an awesome grip, I liked the analog triggers (L and R) and it has THE MOST AMAZING ANALOG STICK EVER!!!!!!!!!!! (the left one, the right one, the yellow, was crap) I hated the Z button (the purple one, above the R trigger) because for some reason feels like it's out of reach, I always had trouble pressing it, and I also hated the rest of the buttons mostly because the Y was awkwardly positioned. I wish more controllers used the octagonal shape at the base of the analog sticks like Gamecube had.

[@Wafferman2000]

So many hours wasted on gotcha force, great game.

[@TheCedricnet]

so you didn't waste time then

[@paperplane07]

Time enjoyed wasting is not time wasted

[@NejisBreakingVlogs]

Isn't it kinda like custom robo?

[@bobbyunavailable]

Worth getting then? It's not cheap....

[@soulvagabond9655]

I know this list is a few years old and your not gonna come back to it ,but if you haven't you should try Custom Robo. I had it when I was younger but after our GameCube broke we got rid of our games and I'v never been able to find another copy without going to eBay or places like that. Personally I don't like ordering it used cus you don't know if it's in working condition.

[@Dezsi]

The GC controller is hands down the best controller ever, really.

[@MastervideoQuan]

Gamecube controller is my favourite controller of all time.

[@Manavine]

I want to rebutt on the Battle for Bikini Bottom. It is not a "hidden" game by far. Definitely a gem tho.

[@Mr_Darius0070]

Gamecube control is pretty awesome. Nothing even to today beats the wavebird wireless controler .. its like having your fingertips in the GameCube s brain.. figure of speech ..

[@bungieborris9111]

what about godzilla destroy all monsters melee? that game was amazing!

[@DeathByHouse13]

Wario World is totally awesome!!

[@UberPwnChatot]

GC controller is my favorite controller of all the time, and the best in my opinion.

[@TheBalloga]

agreed

[@MisterLiBRiUMz]

TheBalloga I personally prefered the Dualshock 2, but the GC one was really good as well!

[@Snugboy]

At first I was like... ugh what? But now, as I'm using it in my wii in virtual console, I can play for ages without my hands aching because the controller is sooo confortable!!

[@Rubenyny]

MisterLiBRiUMz i prefer the dualshock 2 also . i dont own a gamecube console but i saw a picture of the controler and i have to say when looking at it for the first time it looks like a mesh of buttons . tough i cant really say its bad because i never used 1 and im not planning on buying a gamecube . if i were to buy an old console i would just pick the playstation 1 as im a playstation player . a player not a fanboy .

[@MisterLiBRiUMz]

Same, I don't have a gamecube, but I have a Wii and use the gamecube controller on that when I play some wii games and also play gamecube games. Its overall a great controller, but the Dualshock 2 will always be my favorite!

[@burstthekid5643]

The GameCube controller by far is my favorite controller. It's just really comfortable and easy

[@embracerodusk2537]

No doubt, the Gamecube controller is hands down the most comfortable pad I've ever used. I mean its not even close. Now, granted, the Xbox and Playstation pads have much better button layouts, and that's what Nintendo screwed up on with the pad. But its that rounded shape that really makes it feel amazing to hold. I honestly cannot BELIEVE they abandoned this design on newer systems instead of keeping it and just tweaking the button layout. They would have the best pad by far.

[@tero581]

Jason Avocado The button layout was great in my opinion. Every button felt like it had a specific purpose.

[@jankjason]

I wouldn't really say the playstation controller has a better layout.

[@johntyler3544]

Avoozl I would say that Playstation controllers have the best layout, Gamecube is a close second though, just my opinion. :)

[@SebZisTaken]

hells yeah

[@JXDemon21]

Dang I thought I'd see Custom Robo make it on here. It is a very good game that was sadly underrated on the system.

[@DrDizzleFrizzle]

Tube Slider... And people say the name Solid Snake is suggestive...

[@blackmesaboy]

I was kind of disappointed Custom Robo wasn't in any of these videos. :( Definitely one to check out. Fun combat and great graphics. One of my favorites that I still keep around to play on my Wii. :)

[@MexIcAnBnRz]

One of my favorites for sure... still have the memory card and disc. Its saddening it isnt mentioned.

[@TheRealDustinNunn]

I like the GameCube controller because it is really comfortable, snug, fits in your hands really well and it is way better than the N64 controller. Enough said.

[@zcxvasdfqwer1234]

I'm the opposite but both are better than the fuckin Wii mote piece of shit!!! LOL

[@HockeyCrab]

+Beer Me I think the Wii remote isn't that bad. Not the best, but not bad. My favorite controller is probably the XBox 360 one.

[@robitaill3]

At least there are some games on the wii that you can use GameCube controller

[@HockeyCrab]

+David Robitaille (robitaill3) Yeah

[@darrendavenport3334]

Dustin Nunn ya, thats already been mentioned parrot .... do we really need another clown saying the same shit? .... ENOUGH SAID

[@jrdamanat]

Guys, does anybody remember Def Jam: Fight for New York at all?

[@christophersanchez5426]

Hell yeah beast of a game

[@dwaynemenzies8824]

Is it good?

[@sonicsnake44]

@@dwaynemenzies8824 Yes the game is really good.

[@nicholassullivan1239]

Oh yeah!!! That game was amazing. Such a responsive and brutal fighter. Still one of my favorite games from that generation. It had a surprisingly in depth character Creator and you could have more than 1 fighting style. You earned money as well and could use it to purchase new clothes and assesories.

[@Eagles4life221]

Damanat That’s not a hidden gem, though. Everybody had that for GameCube.

[@mikepellegrino133]

The Gamecube controller is amazing. My favorite controller of all time. The only gripe I have is the D-pad is near useless. If only it was just a little bit bigger. Otherwise it's the most comfortable controller I ever used.

[@Diobolical25]

The silver wavebird gamecube controller is one of the greatest controllers ever

[@Folsomdsf2]

I thought it was too big imo.

[@Diobolical25]

Not as big as the original xbox controller though

[@TheBrutal757Channel]

Gotcha Force looks cool, I'm gonna get a copy *goes on eBay* FFFFFUUUUUUUCCCCCCCKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mikebrowne8836]

Just get a xeno chip

[@kidder123]

or use the Dolphin emulator

[@StarVerix]

nintendont

[@Zach-qs2bw]

Star Verix it's a great emulator but such a missed opportunity to not name the Sega emulator that after all Sega had a campaign who's catchphrase was "Sega does what nintendont"

[@TimetravelerKi]

I loved about the Gamecube controller, that every button is special. It's pretty easy to associate a button with a function. If I remember correctly, most games also used the same controlscheme. It kind of added to the atmosphere, that every button had this special identity.

[@hemlockfury4433]

OMFG! Tales of Symphonia, I was wondering if you would put this game on your list. AMAZING GAME! My favorite RPG and the first one I played actually. Sheena is actually a cosplay I want to do as she is my favorite and I resemble her. Jesus, you have such great taste and like a lot of games I own and played. Very impressed.

[@kalashnikov6608]

Oh man, I remember SpongeBob Battle for Bikini Bottom, played it all the time as a kid

[@GsusIsKing]

Kalashnikov hours of fun there i had it for original xbox and i was a young impressionable 7 year old so watching this brings back good memories and now i can play this game once again on my computer using a gamecube emulator

[@kalashnikov6608]

Gabriel Salinas ikr, spongebob was like my hero back in the day, my favorite level has to be rock bottom

[@thediddiliestneighborino168]

+Kalashnikov I remember that rolling ball room in the Mermalair...

[@GsusIsKing]

Moke McHelloThere thats has got to be my favorite part from a video game of all time

[@thediddiliestneighborino168]

Gabriel Salinas Yeah, it was really fun. Took me a couple tries though.

[@cheesynachoman4]

You should of mentioned "Sphinx and the cursed Mummy" it's a really good 3D Puzzle game that will keep you busy for hours and hours up to 11+ Hours of gameplay depending on how you play it but it's a pretty good game if you want to waste sometime but have some fun at the same time.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

I've been looking for a reasonable copy of PN03...but man that game is expensive now!

[@Unholycataclysm1]

No mention of Phantasy Star Online Episode I and II?

[@hicksnipes]

I'm surprised he didn't have PSO in his videos.

[@TheCedricnet]

that game is awesome even though i wonder if i would play after beating the final boss. i am not the biggest fan of fake difficulty and max leveling without reward

[@Unholycataclysm1]

Portal Turret I have gotten to max level and I can easily say the most enjoyment you will have playing it is with the multiplayer/Online Mode.

[@TheCedricnet]

Ozzorik Heartsworn not really interesting for me

[@Mikebtheawsome]

YES TALES OF SYMPHONIA im playing it right now :) ive beaten it over 100 times its my favorite game ever and dont forget if your like symphonia its being released in HD on the ps3 on feb 25.

[@kylewolfe_]

No Chibi Robo? I'm disappointed

[@2justice4no1]

FC;UAK FUCK YES GOTCHA FORCE YOU DID IT DUDE YOU DIDNT LET ME DOWN

[@JustCallumYT]

I TOTALLY didn't have a fangasm when he said Tales of Symphonia XD

[@fiendnewsnetwork9639]

Am I right? I've beaten that game 8 times! :D

[@ysmaelrequena7652]

FUCKYEEEEEAHHHHH Tales Of Symphonia

[@Anime3691]

Needs more thumbs.

[@TheAlexander1336]

I love the gamecube controller :)

[@Goofy8907]

I dont get why they dont make a "Pac-Man VS U" for the Wii U. That would be a great way to incorporate the gamepad too.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

LMFAO Tube Slider.

[@creekandseminole]

I got really lucky and found a complete copy of Gotcha Force for around 18 bucks.

[@ClashOfClansGummy]

where?

[@ClashOfClansGummy]

+creekandseminole How? lol I want it so bad

[@creekandseminole]

Gummy - Clash Of Clans We have a local chain of stores here in Oklahoma called Vintage Stock. They also have them in Kansas and Texas, but down there they are called Movie Trading Co. My buddy used to be a manager at one of the stores here and one random day I went in and had him check around their database to find a copy and they happened to have one at a Tulsa location. I ordered it right there in the store and had it mailed to me. One of my luckiest finds besides a complete copy of Dokapon Kingdom for the wii for eight bucks here at a pawn show last month.

[@ebeliomondragon1869]

How about Viewtiful Joe and it's sequel?

[@werqeful]

man viewtiful Joe was the shit !! loved that game

[@alextownley9388]

I love Battle For Bikini Bottom! Lol I've replayed it so many times! and I think you should check out the SpongeBob Creature From The Krusty Krab, and SpongeBob Lights Camera Pants! games as well if you haven't played them yet & I think the SpongeBob movie video game was also pretty good, but when it comes to more recent SpongeBob games they aren't very good.

[@16xthedetail76]

That first game looks amazing :o

[@Tylerjrb]

+Brony Paul still have mine :D

[@JordyAuto]

Tyler would you want to sell it?

[@creekandseminole]

Also Tales of Symphonia is the best Tales games in the series.

[@hyzenthlay7151]

You mention Tales of Symphonia, but you didn't mention the special edition Gamecube console in turquoise with matching controller and gameboy player!!

[@ahafeez66]

I fucking love gotchaforce, Everything about it is awesome about it!. Except the voice acting *shivers*

[@aleckermit]

In support of the intro, 007: Agent Under Fire (never ported to PC) on Gamecube, compared to PS2, has smoother framerates, faster loading times, better physics, improved graphics, bots in multiplayer, etc. In this instance the game is a different beast from other consoles.

[@brikan777]

YES FKING TOS!!!!

[@fireheartis1]

Man I just looked up Gotcha Force on eBay and that sucker is expensive. I'm not going to pay $100.00 or more dollars to have a good game like that. Man that sucks too because my son loves those types of games.

[@TernadoG]

I bought mine online from Gamestop for about $20. Then I let my dad borrow it & he loved it too.

[@SuperDanny1212]

why dont you just play it for free on wii with dios miod or nintendont?

[@fxust383]

Daniel Fried or a GameCube emulator

[@austinismadcrunk]

fireheartis1 Hahaha. 2 year old comment laments that it's $100, 1 year old comment lamments that it's $150, and 2017 me laments that it's $200+.

[@enaz2]

GameCube emulator or modded wii/gamecube? I can't see anything unethical about downloading and emulating a old game that costs well over $100.

[@Breaker197]

I was totally in love with the N64 controller and thought nothing could beat it after trying the Playstation (which, only recently have I gotten into that controller), and even when I saw the GCN controller, I thought, "what the hell is that thing? It looks like it was designed with crayons." As soon as I got my hands on it however, my mind was blown and my heart was won over by Nintendo once more. XD

[@YAHOOMANIA3000]

Wheres simpsons hit and run :'(

[@Goober13md]

and Luigi's Mansion and Super Mario Sunshine and SuperMonkeyBall 1 and 2 and Worms Blast and Spongebob the movie the game and Spyro ETD... the list goes on...

[@YAHOOMANIA3000]

Most of those you just said are popular games...

[@ninejure]

Goober13md and cel damage

[@kingmatt2563DABEST]

The game itself is very well known but then again not many people know about the gc version

[@teacherfromthejungles6671]

the title of the video isn't "best selling games"

[@DarkMageX]

You forgot Cubivore. It is a pretty cool hidden gem!

[@RolodexEnigma]

James bond agent under fire has my favorite multiplayer in any FPS. The options give you a chance to get creative. Turning on 0 gravity, no falling damage, grappling hook and jetpack and playing with even one other person gets insane. Blasting a hundred feet high spraying people with an AK47 never gets old.

[@finnhaverkamp]

Nightfire had amazing multiplayer.

[@averyjenson]

If you liked Spongebob: BfBB, you might wanna try out the Spongebob Movie Game. It's arguably either better or worse than the first game, but still plenty of fun. In fact, there are some pretty enjoyable Spongebob games out there, especially on the Game Boy Advance. Spongebob: Creature from the Krusty Krab can be viewed as either complete garbage or a solid title, Spongebob: Lights, Camera, Pants! is a pretty fun little party game, and there quite a few others. I wouldn't necessarily rush out to get these games, but they're pretty darn cheap no matter what console you get them on and I'd say they're worth checking out.

[@GNARGNARHEAD]

if you love Gotcha Force your mind will melt for Zoids Battle Legends

[@Sliider36]

Tales of Symphonia = Hidden? hahahahah. no.

[@yothatscrash3092]

Nintendo needs to make another system like the gamecube and more games like the n64/gamecube era that's when Nintendo was king... Don't get me wrong I love my wii u but they don't make games like these anymore..

[@johntyler3544]

Yo ThatsCrash They just need to bring back the controller, if they do that they'll get more 3rd party support, also I think Nintendo did great from the NES up to the Wii, they won last gen by almost 20 million units. But I agree, they need to make more games like the Gamecube/N64/Super Nintendo, heck even the NES, I'd play 8-bit games on a 9th gen console.

[@yothatscrash3092]

john tyler Yeah I mean I still love the games they come out with but I feel back then they took more risks with games and they were usually good

[@johntyler3544]

Yo ThatsCrash Yeah, I definetly see that, the gamecube also had the "different games" not bad ones but they had Luigi's Mansion (which I love) at launch instead of a Mario game, Mario Sunshine which had the water shooting gimmick (it's not bad, it's a fun gimmick and a great game), The legend of zelda windwaker which had the cartoony art style which was drastically different from the others (which is still good), Metroid Prime 1 and 2 (FPS Metroid games that no one saw coming but were still great), Mario kart double dash which is the only Mario kart game where 2 people ride on the same kart (I think it's my favorite Mario kart game), Donkey kong jungle beats which I've never played but it looks fun, the list goes on but it was very different.

[@yothatscrash3092]

john tyler Yeah and that's the reason why I love the gamecube it was different! Super Smash Bros Melee, Lugi's Mansion, and Mario Kart Double Dash are my top 3 Nintendo Games and they all 3 came from the gamecube. It was an awesome system with awesome titles. They need to go back to their roots on some games while also staying wih the times

[@jowysw]

They kinda did a good comtoller with the pro controller but I necer get used to the fact that the right analogstick is above the A B Y X buttons.

[@austin5259]

I lived i ninja when I was younger, glad to see it get some love

[@dalekswartz2092]

An advertisement for it came with my copy of Pac-Man World 2 and I was always curious about it. I was actually planning on checking it out before I saw this video.

[@austin5259]

Dalek Swartz really fun game, I highly recommend it

[@fevrefevre]

+Austin Elliott can I just say you have the best profile pic ever

[@austin5259]

Fever Factory thank you, gotta represent one of my favorite artists right?

[@fevrefevre]

mmm yes porter is my fav

[@RoboKestrel]

Good list. There were a few I'd heard of but never tried - I'll definitely check them out now. An excellent party brawler people might enjoy is Custom Robo for the GC. The campaign is garbage, but the multiplayer is fantastic.

[@TheFabulousRBK]

I know this video is a couple years old, but anyone who checks out the comment section should add Vexx to the list of games they're looking out for.

[@Utubedude8245]

I'm truly surprised you didn't say a thing about Pacman World 2. It technically was "on the list" and was and honestly still is one of my absolute FAVORITE gamecube games next to Battle for Bikini Bottom.

[@ValosarX]

I love the controller for the game cube. Looking back I honestly had the most fun playing my game cube out of any console I've ever owned and I've had them all (except for current gen, did own a Wii U for a while but there were just no games for it)

[@TimetravelerKi]

Oh man, Tales of Symphonia, finished this one two times together with two friends. One of the few RPGs with multiplayer. It got a HD remake for the PS3 and I really hope, it'll have a release on the Vita.

[@BlockSquad1000]

i knew that i-ninja would be on this, but where the fuck is Luigi's Mansion and Super mario sunshine?! >8(

[@IxxSEANxxI]

Luigi's Mansion and Super Mario Sunshine really weren't hidden gems. Both were best sellers and were given good reviews.

[@jpesicka492]

BlockSquad1000 not hidden at all

[@cbctv8187]

BlockSquad1000 it's Not One

[@brians_casual_shenanigans]

Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem is a must have! Great Gamecube exclusive survival horror game, that really messes with your head. As for the controller, I love it. It's very comfortable and think that the analogue sticks are pretty well designed. The only downside I found with the C-stick was when I played Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Master Quest... took me a while to get the hang of it due to being so used to the C-buttons.

[@luke070610]

I agree that the GameCube controller is very comfortable and a great design. Thanks for a great video! 👍

[@locokj]

I've now watched all three of your Gamecube hidden gems videos and honestly, most of the games you have named are not hidden gems. In fact, they are quite popular and well known.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Then give me your own list: Which 24 games on the GC are mostly unknown and fun to play?

[@2-bitgaming431]

+MetalJesusRocks hey Metal Jesus, I recommend you try Phantasy Star Online 1&2 (it's not really online, it used to be but it's very desolate however, I've actually never played online as the offline game is absolutely amazing, its by far one of my favourite Gamecube games & my very favourite JRPG)

[@MrFluffyRedGyarados]

+Kevin Johnson I was gonna say the same thing but in all fairness, the gamecubes small library doesn't allow it to have too many hidden gems. Very clear he did a decent job on the list and definitely did put quite a few hidden gems. Really the only entry that irked me more than anything was Kirby Air ride. Not because it was a 1st party title but because I don't know anyone who owns/collects for the game cube, and doesn't own that title.

[@Kek5kopF]

+Kevin Johnson The cube has only about 350 titles available so there is not much room for hidden gems to hide I guess.

[@cannonballkid]

+Dee Yvthai Are we all still waiting for OP's list?

[@paulroberts9483]

Expensive as gems would be an accurate description for some of these games. I was too idle to go and look for my gotcha force, I thought i'd buy another copy instead. Boy, was I shocked at the cost of that! I had to put my aching legs to work in the end & get it out of storage instead of having an extra copy.

[@Foxes01]

Really?! Still no Pokémon Colosseum or Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness?! I know they're quite popular but they're still some of my favorite games for the GameCube, as well as Spyro: A Hero's Tail.

[@darrendavenport3334]

Gameskiller01 pokemon is lame ....

[@AlexBlancoMJ]

GC controller? One of the bests of all time.

[@Chakeis]

Tales of Symphonia is a hidden gem? uh... ok

[@TheShadowHatter]

you may know about it, but for most people when you ask about JRPGs you'll hear Final Fantasy a hundred times before you hear about the Tales series ten times.

[@citsaowens6073]

I love how he says he's a hardcore gamecube collector but put a couple shitty or popular games on this list, and only had a gamecube for just recently

[@MetalJesusRocks]

citsa Owens I have almost every good game released for the Gamecube and play it all the time.

[@SymbolicSplenetic]

***** I had it on xbox. It was excellent!

[@SupperHaxerTeria]

+Vin Venture yee that games primo af use to stay up all night playin that shit

[@aliencreation8744]

+citsa Owens He's a hardcore GAME collector. Being part of a game scene when it first comes out has nothing to do with collecting. Even if he never played any of them and his gamecube didn't work he still collects them to a ridiculous level. Gaming and collecting games are not mutually exclusive, but they're not the same.

Yes the GC controller is also my favorite of all time, I love everything about it, almost. I think the button location makes really good sense, it´s based on ergonomics and feels natural. Only flaw is the placement of the Z button in my opinion.

The Gamecube controller is by far the best control there is for any video game console.

Fast forward to 2020 and You can buy a gamecube replica controller for the Switch

I don't know if I missed it but I was waiting for you to talk about the game that got you into the GameCube and that's Eternal Darkness. This is the one game I've always wanted to play on the system and I was so upset I missed out on it. I finally found an older Wii and I ordered the game so it's on the way. I hear great things about it and I can't wait I'm excited.

[@peliparado94]

You just got yourself an amazing game bro.

[@lastpally]

Gamecube controller is my favorite.

[@skudkappdproductions5672]

I guess people didn't realize that the Gamecube didn't have alot of 3rd party support

[@MetalJesusRocks]

I have Metal Arms for the Xbox/PS2 but I haven't put too much time into it. I need to do that.

[@Nhazul]

Right on, dude. GameCube controller is by far the most comfortable controller in my opinion. Glad you added that in their on the end, for truth. I especially love my Wavebird controllers. \m/ Rock on!

[@pheelas]

One of the best controller ever for sure, first dreamcast controller and second GC controller.

[@TravenousMaximus]

Very comfy controller - didn't like the d-pad though.

[@Lacaras21]

The gamecube is my favorite system of all time, and definitely has my favorite controller.

[@NickTheNewfie]

it kinda makes me laugh that most game cube games look way better graphic wise then any wii 3rd party game

[@MiguelTorrellas]

The gamcube controller is one of the best controllers of all time!!

Tube Slider sounds like a kids toy made by Wham-o

[@tophario1492]

[@Escape5150]

The GameCube controller is comfortable to hold, but it's downright wonky face buttons only work for games that are specifically designed around that. Since third party games were designed with the standard diamond layout, often third party games control much better on PS2 and Xbox. The other major gripe is the d-pad. The GC's GBA-sized d-pad was an afterthought added late in development and it really shows - Any game that relies on the d-pad sort of sucks.

I just now noticed all the Sierra games in the intro... pretty much all of which I have played, and Phantasmagoria is still one of my favorite guilty pleasure games. If you worked on those games, Metal Jesus, then I thank you for having contributed to my childhood gaming experiences. Now... I have to say I laughed out loud when I saw that Spongebob game, because it's in my personal collection, as well. I also have Tales of Symphonia, but the HD version on PS3. As for a game I would have added to this list: Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy. It was released on multiple platforms, but I have it on the CG. It's a fun little game, especially when you get to play as the mummy and have to do stuff like set yourself on fire or get electrocuted in order to solve the puzzles in some of the levels.
