I don't know. For some odd reason, this has the same effect on me as any liminal space image. As kid, this menu screen was eerie but intriguing at the same time, and I remember messing around with rolling the cube. Even if the void itself seemed cold and ambient, looking at the sprites for the different games on the memory card was like standing outside looking into a window seeing all the goings on inside the building, especially if there was no game inserted. And I knew once I popped that disc, the eerieness would be gone, and I was now the game's world. Now looking at this, having long lost our old gamecube, not only can I not escape the screen just by inserting the game and pressing play, but I'm not longer able to interact with the screen itself. It's just there, no longer a portal to a world of fun, but an inaccessible relic of the past. A bleak, lifeless husk of what it once was. Not helping is the calendar, which may be set to today's date, 20 years after the console's release, after all the innovations gaming and technology have made that have long since surpassed it. There was life here too, in this dark, drifting, digital void. And that just makes it all the more eerie. OK, so it may not be that deep. But it's just the feeling I get looking at this menu screen after all this time. Same thing goes for the PS2 menu screen.

[@OliverTCrowe]

For me I just loved the different sounds overall. The menu music was nice, the sound when moving the cube was great, the sound when choosing an option was nice, overall it was just a very pleasant menu.

The GameCube was always sort of a mythical console to me. I had one when I was really little, and played some games on there for a while. Then a few years later I ended up getting a Wii, and I never saw that GameCube ever again. It’s like even though I had the console, I had it when I was so young that my memories of it are just a blur. So as a kid with no internet, the GameCube always felt like this special console that I never see in stores or on TV yet it still exists. Whenever we’d go into somewhere like those hotels for theme parks and they’d have GameCubes in the rooms I’d always play them and feel really special. (Then I’d get in trouble because they charge a fee for playing it) Hopefully I can buy a GameCube for myself one day.

I often played the GameCube with my brother, as it was one of the first gaming consoles we had as kids. Once we started middleschool we didn't have much time for videogames let alone the time to ensure it was stored correctly. As I started high school soon after, I had a sudden urge of nostalgia rush over me and I wanted to experience this exact screen again, being able to move it around, and watch as messed with its options before a play session. Unfortanetly my mother had gotten to it first and admitted to giving it away a couple years ago as a donation. All my games, all my memories, all my time was just swept away in an instant without even me knowing. Gosh, I bawled my eyes out every night knowing I might not ever experience the same feelings I once did with my Gamecube. After seeing a couple videos like these years later, it helps satisfy my nostalgia and most importantly puts me at ease knowing another kid probably experienced everything I did with it and is probably thanking me despite my mother giving it away. To whoever owns that indigo Gamecube that was once mine, I hope you had great memories with it and I hope you love and cherish it as much as I did.

This was really a different time, back before Console UIs had basically everything and learning to navigate it became part of the process of owning one. For those unaware, the four options on the cube were accessed by tilting the analog stick in a certain direction. Left allowed you to mess with the volume control or the menu, Right let you set the date and time, Down let you manage data on Memory Cards plugged into Slot A or B, and Up brought you to a game boot screen after you put a disc in, useful for jumping right back in if you didn't know which memory card had your game's save data on it, if you wanted to clear data so you could save a new game, or if you were just plain ol' time traveling in Animal Crossing. The PS2 and Xbox had similar features but they worked with static option lists that sent you to a different menu screen. The Gamecube was so slick, so clean that it didn't even need to load a different screen, you just tilted, pressed A, and bam, you were there. It probably sounds silly to have nostalgia for a menu screen, but boy, in 2002, this was magical.

I fell asleep to this as a kid, after trying to get an old game working way past my bedtime, right on my bean bag. Dont think ive ever felt more at peace in my life ngl

[@roastchicken401]

I remember accidentally discovering this for the first time as a kid... I was weirded out, but it was awesome. I liked the noises the cube made as I turned it. And this music is so soothing

[@texthemaddog1]

I was born in 1998 in the early 2000s we used to play the best games mario kart Godzilla mario sunshine luigi mansion and more miss the early 2000s child hood days where the best never let them die out 💯

[@SnoozinFox]

This music complemented Thousand Year Door really well, very dreamlike and ancient

[@CheckStarre]

If you didn't know, speeding this up a bit is the same melody as the Famicom startup.

[@ThePikachuKingRJ]

This music…it’s so…so beautiful. So soothing… it really hypnotizes me into a good sleep too.

[@DGJPRZ]

My heart is in absolute peace with this. 💙

[@CornyVR.]

This gives me the vibes of a world that’s corrupted as it’s not loading up. You’re stuck here forever with the sound of corrupted music.

[@IkariFurao]

This music gives me hope that I get reborn like 6 years before this life and meet my past life self and play gamecube with them

[@VLADPowder]

You still can play GC with your past self, just have to rediscover that part of yourself. As we grow older our brains and the way we think becomes crystalized, and we forget how to look at the world with fresh eyes again. Reignite your childlike wonder through acknowledging the multiple layers of personality which you are comprised of, and cross-reference each version of you to give them some level of representation in your outward personality.

[@AbsurdJANGO]

This and the Wii Menu will always be timeless, as they strived to be more than just video game consoles.

[@masonwrigley875]

If you speed this up to x16 fast, it will be the theme from the Famicom Startup

[@Dave_Millerx]

This here, yeah, this one? This one hits deep for me and probably a lot of people out there. I LOVE this freakin' console! It's my Number.1 console of all time! I even still OWN my childhood GameCube and it's still working properly after all these years! This music? It reminds me of when I was like, really young, I would mess around with the cube on this bios screen. I would change the time over and over again (Even though I shouldn't have done that since nowadays my GameCube will think that it's like [It's currently September as I'm editing this comment.]January or something, since the time is so off-track. It's really annoying, but I know my confused GameCube is trying.), switching my memory card into the other slot over and over again trying to get them both to appear on both sides even though that is not how it works, going into the settings, moving the screen around (with the screen position setting) and changing the audio type to Stereo and Mono over and over again. Young me for some reason had a much weirder sense of humor. I also remember going into the memory card setting just to look at the sprites on the mini-cubes. I'm honestly surprised that young me didn't know that the memory card cubes are just the main cube but shrunken down and used for memory card saves. I remember not even playing the games to do what the task was, I just messed around and had fun. ESPECIALLY in 'Mario Kart : Double Dash!!'. I'm glad I moved on from that phase. To be fair, my GameCube DOES get a little stubborn sometimes, but not often enough to classify it as 'broken'. It's just because most of my discs are scratched from young me. That's my commentary, you may move on from this comment now

I loved this music!! Knocks me to sleep in mins!!

Thank you for uploading this!

You're welcome!

[@bluecheese7447]

this was the best idea ever

[@mikoswhackgameandstuffvids480]

Major Nostalgia, thank you for being my very first nintendo console i ever owned. Thank you for the memories 2008-2019

[@thischannelisdecommissioned]

Everyone involved in the creation of the Gamecube main menu was simply built different. It was more than just an IPL. It was art.

[@anueutsuho7425]

I had a Wii and played Gamecube games on that. It's funny, I never really got into Mario games until 2010, when I was 10, but I mostly have nostalgia for the Gamecube era of games. Luigi's Mansion, Super Mario Sunshine, and Wario World were like a holy trinity for me. And of course Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door was great too.

[@anueutsuho7425]

But it's only thanks to recently using Dolphin that I've been able to see this screen often. Of course, you need to download the BIOs separately on that. But it's worth it.

[@Rpodnee]

I used to love moving the menu left and right in time with the music. IT had such a cool sound effect.

[@superchichu560]

This theme scared me as a kid and even now a days it gives me a weird feeling. Tho it calms me now.

[@daanimegen4602]

You were a wimp as a kid

[@zenithstudio6819]

This and windwaker is my childhood, I'll love this forever ❤

[@Thatdudejosh9]

I was in kindergarten when I got my gamecube. It was 2004. God I miss being a kid.

[@VojaDumar]

I was in Preschool or Pre-kinder in 2004! We both had GameCubes! Ayyyyyy!!!!! 😹😹😹😹😹

[@somerandomdude2085]

Sonic mega collection, nfs hot pursuit 2, mario sunshine and mario party 5 were my childhood. I remember having so much fun with these four specific titles with my older brother. I'll never forget the countless hours we spent on this one console.

[@bryanroberson5832]

Thank you for all the memories. I couldn't ask for anything more. I will make my mark here, just so I can watch myself age. - Levi Roberson November 12, 2021 2:44 PM

[@jerryheller5744]

i Love this, takes me way back to when i was about 9 years old playing Smash Bros Melee and MKDD all night instead of doing my homework.

[@CRT_kidd]

Why is this so calming? Its an ominous cube in a void of emptieness never going to experience anything other than just being a wobbly cube

[@stressrepellentmachine]

mario kart double dash...resident evil 4...killer7...what a phenomenal console, it's a shame it didn't perform as well as they expected.

[@stormtraitor6545]

The PS2 and Xbox were clearly the most popular due to their capabilities of playing DVDs let alone anything else. But yeah, the Gamecube is an underrated and overlooked console of that era.

[@skullkidsid2418]

SSBM Metroid Prime 1 and 2 Windwaker RE4 Tales of Symphonia Super Mario Sunshine So many gaming memories with that little lunch pail 🥺

[@AyrForce]

The definition of nostalgia brought me here.

[@averysmalman8191]

This gives me such indescribable feelings. Every time I turn on the Gamecube I leave it on this menu for a bit just to listen to the gentle tones and watch that little cube hover in that blank dark void. It's mysterious, wondrous, comforting, and melancholy all at the same time. I love the Gamecube so much. It will be a sad day when mine dies

[@TVobe2010]

Well.. it seems my gamecube and wii died and idk how.. maybe those new tvs got something to do whit it

[@TF2ScoutGlueLover]

The memories I often think back to this theme. Remembering that time that I've left this screen on at night and just laid there, listening to the ambience.

[@DJLuigiBro007]

Hearing this makes me miss the old Nintendo.

[@kaelanbarrios1214]

Agree

[@The_Boxolodian_727]

14 years of playing this… I can’t stop playing on the GameCube.. it’s so nostalgia to me that I cannot stop..

[@JadeMares-u6w]

This brings me back childhood memories,I love the gamecube

[@AWizardAndaMouse3432]

The GC menu theme is actually the FDS Bootup slowed down 19 times. FDS Standing for Famicom Disc System, an attachment to the Japanese Version of The NES.

[@blooexeofficial]

Yeh why is no one mentioning this?

[@serenity-indeed2132]

My Nanna died a few months ago. I remember as a kid when I stayed at my Grandparents house she would let me plug in the GameCube for an hour or 2. I'd play Mario Cart Double Dash, Time Splitters 2, Metroid Prime or Luigi's Mansion. It's crazy how a game consoles theme can bring back so many memories you'd never have thought about otherwise. They all seem so long ago now, sad really.

[@StarfoxFanEX]

I still remember buying Star Fox Adventures like it was yesterday and it will forever be my favorite video game of all time!

[@Crazyreyn]

Need to get back to that - bit of a hidden gem!

[@Livia_Poiana]

Dont be sad that its gone, smile because it happened.

[@rtyuik7]

i just dig how you began the video with the "rolling block" startup jingle that Transitioned into this menu, instead of just abruptly starting at the menu music... alternate video ideas are now possible, too-- like starting up the Gamecube with 'Z' held on a controller (or perhaps on All Four controllers for yet another easter egg)

[@Crazyreyn]

Thanks for noticing! I do this with all my ambience videos where possible, to make it feel like you're actually booting up a system or game yourself. It helps that they are all recorded with the game or hardware itself, and not looped!

[@ShaneMurphyHendrickson]

R.I.P. Nintendo GameCube (2001-2007).

[@TheMrChipmyster]

I remember when I first got this for Christmas, with Smash bros, starfox, sonic 2 and sunshine waiting. I was so excited to embark on a new adventure.

[@darknight3050]

This console meant a lot to me. I remember how excited i was when my mom gifted me the Nintendo GameCube. Games were expensive so I instead stuck with the Blockbuster game pass rental membership. Super Smash Bros Melee was going to be my first game to rent but it was all rented out at every local Blockbuster, so my first game ended up being The Simpson’s Road Rage. But before i put the disc inside the GameCube, I was mesmerically entranced by this soothing menu background track. It’s so mysterious, magical and futuristic with an ominous touch of sadness. This transparent cube...It’s like, what the beginning of time might have looked like, with each surface of the cube representing a different dimension. This is my imagination. Thanks for reading.

[@Itainteasybeingweezy]

GameCube was my first console, i remember playing Double Dash, Ultimate Spiderman, Spiderman 2, and Rouge Squadron 2.
