Wanna see Wii facts? Let us know down below 👇

[@AnimeBrosAMV]

Yes!!

[@EsThirt33n]

Yes please! I was working retail at the Wii's launch, so I've a bit nostalgia for it!

[@felipetomaz1087]

yessir

[@bakkyarou]

Yes!!

[@etherealbirchwood5748]

Let's goooooo!

[@Outrack]

I only subscribed a few weeks back but this channel is quickly becoming a favorite, really dig the presentation style and how the facts are genuinely interesting.

[@newm0116]

I made it, ma! My favorite Gamecube game is probably SoulCalibur 2, as the Gamecube version featured Link and that was a big part of how it got me into the franchise. To this day I am still not a big fan of fighting games, but I love this whole franchise.

[@AnimeBrosAMV]

Love the video guys! Keep em up!

The mini disc was a way for Nintendo to control the prices they set for developers on the GameCube. They were the sole manufacturers of those discs and were known price gougers. It gatekept more than a few developers away from the platform and the discs holding a lower amount of content kept many games away as well.

[@alexislopez9355]

Weren't they just mini dvd discs? I heard using mini dvd discs made pirating Gamecube games harder.

[@eightcoins4401]

It was mainly done as an anti piracy measure. Pirates still cracked the drm in just 1 week though.

[@eightcoins4401]

@@alexislopez9355 Its a proprietary mini dvd only developed for nintendo.

"You'll not be aware of, but now you'll because that's how knowledge works" - I'm pretty sure I'm gonna forget most of it in a few hours. My knowledge doesn't seem to work well.

[@Nintendude.]

I thought you would include the interesting aspect about Gamecubes 3D capabilities and Luigi's Mansion was that years later the game would have a 3DS version.

[@dumbstruckempire]

Number eleven is definitely one I didn't know. Great stuff.

[@cusco587]

I made it to the end, my favorite GameCube game as a kid was Mario Strikers, but now I’m loving F zero GX and Mario party 4-6

[@Stephen_Eee]

Middle button push was magnificent. The only game I Ever broke or scratched or anything was FF12 in a metal collector case, it wouldlt release and snapped the disc...😢

[@CulturedVultures]

MAN don't get me started on how annoying collector cases/steelbooks are to get discs out of it sometimes it's honestly like they just want it to be an ornament!

[@eightcoins4401]

What feels weirdly forgotten about the generation (also applies to the ps2) is that alot of games had Dolby Pro Logic II. Meant you could output a stereo signal that av units decode into surround. Really nice in Metroid Prime 1 & 2.

[@bakkyarou]

These are great. I would love to see some of the older lesser-known systems get this treatment as well!

[@sangbeta2043]

The disc-release button must have come along with the deal with Panasonic. I've only ever seen them on portable Panasonic CD players.

[@AlexGamingConsole]

That don't make sense because the one with the DVD doesn't have the same disk drive. It ejects out with a tray

[@TBoneTony]

Aika from Skies of Arcadia is SEGA's version of Tifa. Fina from Skies of Arcadia is SEGA's version of Aerith. If you look at this classic SEGA JRPG, you can find similar character types but also really different between their relationship with Vyse compared to those same comparisons with relationships with Cloud from FF7.

[@Rpodnee]

The GameCube is named after a geometric shape called a cube. It also plays games.

[@CulturedVultures]

Please delete this before Nintendo sees.

[@Deseko]

Made it! Eternal Darkness Sanitys Requiem... or maybe Double Dash

[@imtonysopro]

In Iwata's statement the less is the amount people were buying not implying games needed to be simpler.

[@cinnamondan4984]

Iwata was onto something. Super Mario Sunshine for example was not as accessible as the Mario titles following it whether 3D or 2D

[@gz1976]

I made it, Ma! :) I was always a fan of Super Mario Sunshine from the first time I played it. Never understood the hate.

[@rafonsius]

I made it, Ma! Nostalgia prevents anything other than Wind Waker from being my favorite GC game. Cellshading looks pretty great in the console tbh tho

[@jordanlarsen2336]

I made it, Ma! It's a basic answer, but my favorite GameCube game is probably Resident Evil 4

[@danielsuniga4596]

I made it! My favorite is probably resident 4. To me, it's one of, if not, the best game on the console

[@alliumluna6888]

I made it, Ma! What a tough choice. I think it's a toss up between Phantasy Star, Chibi Robo, Wind Waker and Animal Crossing. Great video by the way! Subbed.

I was gonna say the Panasonic cube looks like an convection oven lmao

[@XanderCrease]

I made it, ma! Viewtiful Joe is my favourite Gamecube game. It's been ported but to me it's a GC game at heart. (Sunshine and Windwaker are also my common goats too).

Final fantasy crystal chronicles also made use of the game boy advance link. Not sure it was mentioned because ADHD.

[@TheDogFacedGamer]

I had no idea what the triangles meant. I’ve imported some switch games that had them.

[@psyco-wolf4359]

07:00 Damn, wonder what happened to that "next generation " of devs back then. Because the ones we have now absolutely suck

[@eightcoins4401]

The decisions ina big videogame company are not made by devs, but by the executives above them. You can't really blame the devs when executives force them to polish turds for their living. Devs only make any decision about the game in tiny indie studios.

[@mekman4]

Great Stuff!

[@ElvenSpellmaker]

psstCUBE. I made it, Ma! My favourite GameCube game was Sonic Adventure 2: Battle even if it's an extended port it's a great game. We actually had to get a couple of new GameCubes because we wore out the lasers keeping the console on almost 24/7 raising the Chao. 😂

[@pharmcat8484]

I’ve played on the GameCube fewer than 10 hours In my life

[@pharmcat8484]

Yes to the canceled Capcom games please.

[@mjdf122]

Sorry I’m late Vultures but I’m here GameCube time

[@CulturedVultures]

it's good to have ya!

#12 - Imagine if someone has too much time on their hands and makes their own version of Half Life 3...but they program & release it online for GameCube.

[@CulturedVultures]

someone is trying to make GTA 3 work on Dreamcast and when it finally does I will be there

[@aking-plums6985]

I made it, Ma! For me, it was Metroid Prime.

[@P.K.L.Studios]

I made it, Ma. A 3 way tie F-Zero GX, Metroid 1 & 2

[@LordHalKalais]

#13 the gamecube doesn't have a port or version of the incredible snes title "illusion of time"

[@LordHalKalais]

In fact I don't remember illusion of time ever being ported to anything else, shame really, incredible game....

[@pharmcat8484]

[@Rachimical]

I made it, ma! Mario Kart: Double Dash 😊🎉

[@Robrt476]

I made it ma! Im a sucker for animal crossing, i probably put more time into that than any other gamecube game ive played.

[@frankbrodie5168]

Nintendo have always gone down the route of attempting to discourage 3rd parties making money out of their systems. The mini-discs. The cartridges when everyone and his dog was moving to CD's. Strict controls on releases. All of these things stopped others from making money from Nintendo. And of course made sure that Nintendo made less money than they might have. Because companies went with other systems to save the hassle of working with Nintendo. As a SNES fanboy throughout that system's long life, I've avoided Nintendo like the plague ever since. Barring buying the handhelds for the kids over the years.

[@eightcoins4401]

This even goes back to the NES days. Nintendos guidelines for nes game publishing were really draconic.

[@Auxodium]

DVDs were developed by Sony amongst Toshiba and others. Therefore every Nintendo unit if it had DVD playback and games would mean Sony would get royalties. Nintendo didnt want to give their rival free money...

[@M1XART]

Or they simply did not want their consoles laser wear out due DVD -movies. GameCube is most reliable CD/DVD -console on that generation. Nearly all units still work perfectly.

[@eightcoins4401]

Same issue with the Wii U. Blu Ray is also patented by Sony. So again, crappy nintendo proprietary format it is.

[@eightcoins4401]

@@M1XART DVD Movies dont make console lasers wear out. Unless youre putting in absurdly dirty dvds. The only claim ive ever seen of any DVDs or CDs hurting the PS2 laser was referring to homeburned cd-rs/dvd-rs.

[@M1XART]

@@eightcoins4401 Every DVD -movie player wears out laser sooner or later. The difference on games console is that when you play the game, laser is used only on loading screens. DVD -movies use laser all the time during entire movie. Gaming console should never be used as a movie player, or it eventually loses ability to read even games well.

[@AshBates93]

I made it ma. Played so much mario kart on this years and years ago.
