Nintendo GameCube Menu Music

To this day a Nintendo GameCube has the best menu layout and background music of all time in my opinion. When the Nintendo GameCube first released it truly was the coolest thing to me growing up. But since my parents didn't make a lot of money at the time my older brother and I had to wait until about a year or two later when a family member surprised us both with a package in the mail. It was a Nintendo GameCube Black Version complete with a collection of different games and a spare controller! We had a house fire about a year later. Thankfully our parents and dog made it out alright. But man where my brother and I scared when we received the phone call over at my grandma's house! We cried all night. The house wasn't exactly condemned but my parents found it better just to move on and get a new house. We took the things of our belongings that weren't too badly damaged which included our Nintendo GameCube. Here I am over a decade later now a grown adult. I will admit sometimes when I start up my Nintendo GameCube... it isn't our original one as that one unfortunately stopped working one day. The one I own today is the Silver version, but I still have the original memory cards and to this day I sometimes shed tears thinking of the happiest moments with that game console and how it got my brother and I threw that extremely tough time in our childhood...thank-you Nintendo, for giving my brother and I and everyone around the world such fun memories of happiness, joy and our ever growing passion and love of Gaming. I will always love the Nintendo GameCube and to this day it is one of my most beloved video game consoles of all time. Nintendo, thanks for everything.

[@xHB2005x]

Damn, that’s sad. Glad you and your parents are still okay. While I didn’t grow up with the GameCube (I actually got it for my 13th birthday) it’s still a phenomenal console and I will always remember it. Side note, what was your favourite GameCube game?

[@AiDAN-PATORiKKU]

That story you told us made me shed tears and I'mmy still shedding tears about it. 😭

[@jadestep9624]

@@xHB2005x That's neat you got it as a birthday gift. ^.^ As for being in my line of favorite game consoles it's easily in my top three. While GameCube is my second favorite I don't really think anything besides could come close to the Super Nintendo. That game literally spawned the birth of my two favorite Nintendo IPS: F-Zero & StarFox. I still have that's console to this day and it works just fine! ( it helps to learn how to properly clean them as well to help expand the livelihood ) But regardless the GameCube still holds a very close place in my heart. A great console indeed.

I have the same story with my Wii. Nintendo consoles made me happy when I felt down. When I feel to sad. I just boot up my Wii and play some games. (Even the GameCube games) I feel happier. I don't know why but their games just cheer me up. I think the same for a lot of u too

I never had a GameCube in my life, due to being born 1 year after the Wii. But somehow, this sounds really nostalgic. Maybe I had a GameCube in my past life. Or maybe my dad just had a GameCube when I was just a baby and he played it in front of me. When you're thinking about the past, play this. It really gives off that timeless vibe.

[@thewiiguy]

It feels like yesterday when I first got the Gamecube for my birthday. I've spent so much time playing Sonic Adventure DX, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, Super Mario Sunshine, Mario Kart Double Dash, Digimon Rumble Arena 2, Mario Superstar Baseball, Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, Super Smash Brothers Melee, and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker on there. How I wish I could go back to being a kid again, playing the Gamecube along with my Playstation 2.

I discovered the gamecube around 2011 when I was 11, and I've never saw one in person, something that is rly wierd, since Nintendo used to sell this console in my country, DS, Wii, Wii U they didn't sew and even tho I saw then and even had one, till this day I want a GC, just becuse it looks so cool and brings me happy memories of watching videos about it on YT

There is just some kind of magic that the 6th gen had that was lost somewhere between 7th and 8th gen. I get that with the wii and xbox 360 and all but the new consoles. nothin' they just kinda feel like boxes now. I always felt like the 6th gen was the peak of videogames in terms of discovery, the leap between the n64 and this was astounding and that still showed with the 7th gen as xbox and playstation made a jump to HD while taking time to refine and develop what games could be giving us things like bioshock infinite, halo 3, and reach, and even 4 along with games on the wii like galaxy which were just pure fun despite the lack of HD. I feel like that was lost in the PS4 and Xbox One, a bit less so in the switch and wii u but still, there is something that is missing. Say what you will but early 2000s to 2014 were some of my favorite years for games

[@jackosaurus117]

I couldn’t agree more. I thought this myself, just couldn’t put my finger on what it was or how to word it but you summed it up perfectly
