There's so many games that could fit in the 'will always be fun' category for the Cube. Smash Bros. Melee, F-Zero, Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime, Wind Waker, Super Mario Strikers, The Rogue Squadron games... and on and on. Narrowing it to five is a tall order. Awesome list though, nice job!

Just a comment to say I love your Channel RB. This is one of the most wholesome gaming channels on YT, and the community you have fostered is so positive and friendly, a rarety on YT.

The GameCube is very special to me, my wife bought it for me before we were married when I was in a pretty low time and when I was really missing the simple and pure joy of childhood and games. I remember playing it and having a lot of fun, years later it would the first system I introduced my son to, and years later I would form II around it. Definitely special to me and my family.

[@RetroBirdGaming]

Thank you for sharing. Very cool to hear.

[@God777JESUSfreak777]

A shame that the price of most of the GameCube's library has now shot through the roof. Sonic adventure 2 battle and melee will always have a place in my heart.

[@carlsagan2607]

I wish I wouldn’t have to emulate and just get the physical copies. Money isn’t the issue but I just simply refuse to pay these prices. I’m just grateful emulation exist. Not GameCube related but snes , chrono trigger is $200 for a cartridge…

It's absolutely insane how expensive gamecube games are now

[@thecurmudgeon7350]

@@theconsolecollector I'm so glad I bought the majority of my Gamecube collection back in 2011-2012. I paid on average $15-25 for all of my games. I bought Fire Emblem for $20 in Gamestop in 2011. Back then nobody really cared about the Gamecube.

[@danieldunkum8394]

Your personality alone made me sub. You remind me of a great friend of mine and of myself honestly. GameCube is my favorite console of all time and I’ve actually stopped collecting for all other consoles so I can solely focus on GameCube games only (and Kirby games overall). I’m glad to see there’s people who love this console just as much as I do :) it’s a console with a lot of great games that feel unique when played on their native console.

[@RetroBirdGaming]

Glad to have you on the channel. Welcome!

[@riversart2030]

Twilight Princess and Wind Waker are my favorite Gamecube games, go figure. I grew up playing Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask religiously, so playing the new generation of Zelda games was super exciting as a teenager. I have so many great memories of both games. I have played through them several times in my life as well as 100% completing both of them.

[@Crazy_Gamer_OG]

Not a fan of WW but TP is my favorite. I still have both games on Wii U at least, but I sold my copy of WW on GCN back in the day & now it's just too expensive. Luckily, the HD remaster is better, but I still prefer TP over WW.

[@gtssage]

When Metroid Prime came out…I just had to have the GameCube. Resident Evil 4, Legend of Zelda Windwaker and Twilight Princess, Mario golf, Metroid Prime 2 Echoes , Viewtiful Joe, and Mario Kart were some of my favorites.

[@Reshyrah]

I love the GameCube for giving me the futuristic racing game I always wanted in the form of F-Zero GX. Originally, I purchased the console for Metroid Prime and was not disappointed. Heck, even the 3rd party support was strong on the GC, giving this little purple box one of the best libraries of any Nintendo system, hands down.💜

[@CommDante]

Should give Extreme G a look, quite kewl unique racing games too.

[@apexanomaly]

Wind Waker is a classic. I actually like Metroid Prime 2 more than the first one. Rogue Squadron II was also a great launch title and showpiece for the system.

[@mjdf122]

During this time/era I feel the Dreamcast and gamecube were overlooked by the ps2 and Xbox still so many great games to appreciate enjoy the week Retro Bird thank you

[@slamshift6927]

Xbox is still overlooked, not that I mind, cheap games ahoy!

[@mjdf122]

@@slamshift6927 the Xbox wasn’t and isn’t overlooked at all everyone was playing ps2 or Xbox back then I know you probably weren’t born yet but you were correct on cheap prices for games though I only say this because I’ve seen all in gaming from 1980 to Now and have every NTSC console and tons of games

[@3dmarth]

@@mjdf122 Xbox was "cool" like PS2 at the time, sure, but the mainstream audience who liked it then has long since moved on, and it seems like most old-school game enthusiasts are more into Nintendo. So I'd agree with Slam Shift: the Xbox is overlooked today! I wouldn't say it was especially overlooked back then, considering its popularity at the time, though its sales were only about on par with the GameCube... I feel like both GC and Xbox deserved a bigger cut of the market share than they got, but that's how it goes, I guess.

[@mjdf122]

@@3dmarth like you and I both said back then is what was being referred to

[@AgentXRifle]

@@mjdf122 Xbox sold about the same as the GameCube so it's pretty even with sales and even games (most 3rd party games worked better on these VS PS2) I don't think the OG xbox is forgetten or overlooked but it definetly wasn't the console "everyone was playing", that was the PS2 hands down. Most non-gamers even had a PS2 due to it being cheaper vs DVD players at the time. I had many friends with cubes and with boxes, but almost everyone I knew had a PS2... only knew 1 guy with a dreamcast... that's the overlooked 6th gen console

I wish I had gotten into Gamecube earlier. Sadly I was one of the people who never gave it a chance, partially because I never knew anyone with one. I wasn't until I was in a game store and held that controller that I realized I had to have that console. Picked one up that day and never regretted it. 👍

I was so burnt out on Nintendo back when the GC came out, I was all about the PS2. Thank god they released REmake and RE Zero because I wouldn't have even bothered until much later. I bought my first GC used at Gamestop and had only 3 games I cared about RE Zero, REmake, and Smash Melee. Now I am SO GLAD I got one earlier because the library is amazing, I feel like a fool for not caring.

[@lukeheidebrecht]

Love the GameCube! My best memories and a game that, at least for me, will always be fun is rogue leader - the visuals, the settings, the pursuit of the medals in each stage. Perfect.

[@CommDante]

So awesome with the Dolby ProLogic surround sound... Still one of the best Star Wars series.

[@thebigbean8783]

Luigis mansion and Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour are my two go to games on my gamecube. Paper Mario: TTYD, Animal Crossing, Sonic Adventure 2, and Mario Party 5 are timeless as well

PN03, an arcade style third person shooter that, once everthing clicks reminds me a lot of punch out oddly enough with all the timing, dodging, telagraphing and special moves.

[@odnetnin4720]

Many memories playing 4 players Monkey Ball. Loved the target game and the strategies to winning.

[@DirtyFrigginHarry]

We were a nintendo family up into the sixth gen. I was turning into a teenager though and before long the allure of Halo, GTA, and online multiplayer was too great. These days though I find myself going back to gamecube titles far more often than xbox or ps2. I remember opening a gamecube to my shock and delight on christmas morning of 2001, my mom telling me that my aunt got me games. Expected Luigi's Mansion and Melee, that night I opened Luigi's Mansion and...Super Monkey Ball? I wasn't impressed with the box or title but immediately fell in love with it upon playing and it started my post-mortem love affair with the dreamcast/NAOMI catalogue. I think you got all of the clear and obvious choices. Some more controversial picks but favorites of mine and very high on the fun factor include Cel Damage, Sega Beach Spikers, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, F-Zero GX, and my personal favorite gamecube game, favorite RPG, and third favorite game of all time, Skies of Arcadia Legends.

[@mausmalone]

Beach Spikers is definitely an underrated game. I feel like a lot of people don't get into it because they can't just jump in and start winning, even at the lower levels. It's not really clear that you're going to have to just try your best while you level up your AI partner before you can really start kicking butt.

[@DirtyFrigginHarry]

@@mausmalone yeah the AI partner is definitely the achilles heel of that game.

[@cactoidpinata]

I’m glad you mentioned the difficulty of Viewtiful Joe. I got all the way to the last boss on Adult and spent hours on him. I finally gave up and never beat the game. It’s one of those ones that puts you at the beginning of the level when you run out of lives. I almost never give up on a challenging game, but I just couldn’t endure it anymore. Lol

[@RetroBirdGaming]

Yeah, I thought I was missing some crucial element on how you're supposed to play the game when I first played it. Nope... turns out it's just really difficult.

[@joeroeder3742]

Probably the game I come back to on the Gamecube the most is Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader. It does everything that the first Rogue Squadron does and cranks it up to 11, with more missions, more power ups, and more controls. It's great for just fooling around for a few hours, or for a deep dive into the entire game. Plus with side-missions that let you play as Darth Vader taking down the Rebel Alliance, it's real unique! Something I found out not too long ago. The follow up, Star Wars Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike has a co-op mode. But, the co-op is not Rogue Squadron III, it's all of Rogue Squadron II, letting you and a buddy take down the empire in some good old-fashioned couch co-op!

[@NindieNation]

Great video as always. With your love for Viewtiful Joe, you've GOT to check out Super Crush KO. If just got a huge discount on Switch and is $3.50. it's the closest feeling game to play I've found since that series faded away, but with more of an arcade/score-chase setup. Whole game has maybe 2 hours of content, but I put 5x that in and still revisit frequently. I hope you get a chance to check it out!

Mario Golf on Game Cube is the best kids golf game I have ever played. The meter is so simplistic that you won't miss with the manual or Automatic swings. Way better than any of the Hot Shots series. Hot Shots you have no options & the swinging bar is so hard to get accurate in that game.

[@CommDante]

Star Fox Adventures is so underrated, enjoyed that game so much.

[@rotallyPumpered]

I got back into playing Double Dash regularly a few months ago, and I think it's got a lot more going for it than the tag team concept. There's a real sense of grunt to the karts that I don't think is really there in its sequels. Speeding through opponents and knocking them out of the way feels powerful. The track design's some of my favourite in the series, and I quite like the weird alternate paths that don't cut any time - that kind of weird freedom feels evocative of the console, and it's funny to see multiplayer opponents think they're being cunning and ending up further back in the race. I don't feel like I see Viewtiful Joe get brought up very much these days. I was one of the few who bought it on release (they even gave me a special Viewtiful Joe shopping bag when I bought it), and I definitely enjoyed it, but haven't really played it since then. This might be the encouragement I need to go back in. I've owned the second game for years, but I don't think I've played more than an hour of it. I really need to fix that sometime.

[@RetroBirdGaming]

Great take on Double Dash. I agree with everything you said.

[@3dmarth]

Agreed! Double Dash felt like it had a really high skill ceiling, with its more technical handling. The newer games like 8 improve on DD in many ways (like graphical quality and the number of tracks), but they also feel a bit watered-down in comparison. I've come to appreciate DD more than I did back in the day. And yes, definitely give Viewtiful Joe 2 a try! It's a lot like the first, but I think I actually liked it a bit more. (It's also a bit easier, as I recall, so the Adults difficulty is more reasonable.)

[@bluefates58]

The gamecube is a console I am starting to collect for, i got both of the prime games, and they are both really fun (I do prefer the first one) I definitely am going to pick up the Monkey Ball games and Luigi's Mansion one of these days

This was, in my opinion, one of the best times in gaming, and also one of the best times to be a Nintendo fan (possibly the best time, even). So many great games, and many of my favourite games of all time were either made for GameCube (SSBM, Metroid Prime, F-Zero GX), or rereleased for it (Ocarina of Time, Sonic Adventure). Rarely, if ever, has one Nintendo console delivered so many flagship entries in their best franchises, as well as unusual new experiments that also turned out to be worthwhile.

Or even a discussion video just talking through how you make so many different videos with a consistent "storytelling" flow. Thanks!

No problem. I write my scripts and as I go along, I highlight the sections that I could use cutaway scenes for (differentiating between the ones that have me in them and the ones that don't). Everything else will have gameplay footage that I film at the beginning of pretty much every week.

@@RetroBirdGaming Cool, that's what it seemed like, since the cutaways with you are so relevant to what you're saying...in the way you make fun of yourself :) Thanks!

Awesome list, thank you. This video helped me put together a list for my first few GC games

Animal Crossing, Super Smash Bros Melee, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and F-Zero GX will always have a place in my heart. Love those games!.

Where do I even start??? 😂 All the games you mentioned of course, good sir, but also the first two Metroid Prime games, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Rogue Squadron 2 and 3, Wind Waker, and the promotional compilation known as The Legend of Zelda: Collector’s Edition. Also, so many games that I played on this system which were also on other systems. Speaking of Viewtiful Joe…. “Davidson is in the houuuussseee!!!! Oh, Davidson is BORN to be WILLLLLDDDDD!!!!!”😅😅😅

I had the Gamecube and PS2 as a kid, always gravitated towards the PS2 and all of it's exclusives. Not that I hate the Gamecube, which I don't. But there just hasn't been much interest from me in it's library as of late.

[@Bhandy1123]

You should review the hot wheels gamecube game. I remember getting it as a kid and being disappointed but no idea why. It would be interesting to see it again!

[@NoctLightCloud]

Mario Party and ... I almost wrote Pokemon Stadium😂 Can't believe that Stadium is even older!

[@jimsoczka9668]

Still love me some Viewtiful Joe every now and then. Kenji a go go baby!!!

[@joe-edward]

I love your videos and your sense of humor! Great game selection, too! I actually have not played any of those, but have seen others praise them. Also, good runner-ups! Looks like you are the other person who bought Four Swords Adventures and actually liked it! 🙂

[@shanekelley3064]

You nailed it with the Super Monkey Ball games. Best on the 'Cube!
