Loved the way this episode turned out, and really enjoyed seeing our picks combined! Beyond humbled at the opportunity to collab on this, and can’t thank you enough man! This was an epic one!!

[@jesseglenn8803]

Ah, you are the disembodied voice! 😎 great list guys. I think original animal crossing deserves an honorable mention 😅

[@forcedfeedbackclassicgamer5499]

P.N. 03 is such a gem. Played the hell out of it back in the day. Eternal Darkness is an unforgettable experience.

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Glad to hear of another P.N. 03 fan! And Eternal Darkness really is a one-of-a-kind experience! 👍

[@nomorenames5568]

@@GameCubeGalaxysomething I think goes unnoticed about PN03 is the combo system and what it incentivizes. For years I thought PN03 was just kinda ok, neat but nothing crazy unique until I learned how exactly the devs intended it to be played. The combo system makes it so that you're made to be dodging and shooting and moving fluidly at all times, almost like a rhythm game or something like that. Like you can use Star Power and make it through a difficult solo in Guitar Hero while barely knowing what notes your hitting and just hoping you don't lose but ideally you should want to try and play the solo and do your best to take it that barrage of notes until you can actually understand what you're playing. It's similar in PN03, the combo system makes it clear that you're supposed to move fluidly through these levels fast and efficiently in order to get a high point score and in doing this you raise the skill cap and ultimately the fun in the game dramatically.

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

@@nomorenames5568 you nailed it on the head. While initially P.N. 03 may be jarring to some people, it’s one of those games that clicks as you keep playing it and learn its intricacies. It’s a very technical game, and trying to keep that combo going, while dodging and maneuvering really is engrossing. It’s a game I’ve played well over 10 times and always have a lot of fun with it (despite its flaws). 👍

[@James-ep8bh]

I really miss that game. I loved all the various different suits. It had a style all its own.

[@blinxman4956]

The GameCube is my favourite generation of consoles where Nintendo took risks, almost every IP they have got a either an entry or a spinoff and new games like Chibi-Robo and Eternal Darkness (Nintendo's first M-Rated game) with unique gameplay and creativity.

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Agreed. Nintendo took a lot of risks with the GameCube, and loved that they did this. Led to so many unforgettable experiences.

[@noodles9345]

Star Fox Adventures is one of those games I had my parents rent for me probably 5 different times and I probably didn't even get halfway through it lol. I do remember really enjoying that one. Also, I had completely forgotten that P.N.03 was even a thing. I played that one once, probably a rental also. Was certainly unique.

[@Godeias]

I have legitimately bought P.N.03 about five times over the years (losing them to theft or lost storage). First time I bought it, I found it at a GameStop for .25 cents, last time I bought it was at a random mall game store for $40, so it's definitely become a cult classic. Glad I have a mint full physical copy in my collection.

[@Zrorro]

Star Fox adventures was a good game, despite it not being a normal Star Fox game. Being a fan of both Starfox and Zelda when I was younger, I enjoyed playing through it.

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

I never understood the dislike Star Fox Adventures had back in the day. I always loved it, and thought it was awesome to play as Fox McCloud on-foot, with Zelda mechanics. 👍

[@Zrorro]

@@GameCubeGalaxy It's because everybody wanted a normal Star Fox game not a Zelda style game. It's kind of like what happened with Wind Waker, where everybody wanted a realistic Zelda.

[@jonathanwald8858]

I am glad and very happy that Geist ,custom Robo, and star fox adventures is on the list those games are so underrated

[@thatvideogamesshow]

I’ll second that!

[@Mighty10917]

I think F Zero GX should've benefit as a remaster port on the switch or next gen Nintendo Console given how F-Zero 99 is doing well

[@Mari_Izu]

Yeah, GX with online, better FoV and widescren is all it needs for a modern version, it's still a really pretty game.

[@byronbarrientos8471]

I'd like to mention that Nimbus from Exoprimal is a CLEAR nod to P.N. 03. The moment I saw her playstyle I immediately thought bout PN03.

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Good catch!

[@wayofthekodiak3118]

P.N. 03 is the prototype for Bayonetta in my opinion. Pity i never got to play it. Custom robo was fantastic. I loved that game.

[@MegaSNES64]

Good to see Beach Spikers, it was among the first 10 games I bought for my Cube..

[@rooislangwtf]

Always nice to watch a video with a title like that and then seeing some games I haven't heard about before

I really wish Eternal Darkness would get some kind of port, but that doesn't seem likely to happen. It is a very unique horror game that all fans of the genre should have the opportunity to experience.

[@mattb6522]

Yeah, Eternal Darkness was such an amazing experience. It is a shame that a port or remaster is pretty much unlikely.

[@Ubu90]

@@mattb6522 same with twin snakes, as they are both silicon knights, so the rights are long gone

[@SuperFirstSecond]

@@Ubu90SK is gone, but Nintendo owns the Eternal Darkness IP and have maintained its copyright/trademark status for years now. They can do whatever they want with it, but haven't done anything for whatever reason.

[@serialkiller88]

Custom robo is really good, it's actually a good entry point to games like virtual on and armored core. Since it allows you to customize to adapt to the situation and experiment with parts of your robot

[@ZizoMass]

Gamecube has so many unique and interesting games. It's a shame that it's impossible to collect for it due to the absurd price that resellers charge for the games. Twin Snakes, for example, sells for $100 on average. 😓

[@redfoot2]

Geist is my GameCube GOAT. Thanks so much for giving it the attention ot deserves

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Such a great FPS!

[@Ayixlia]

I own almost every game in the video, but you may missed some other games that defiantly needs a 2nd chance that I also own such as: Billy Hatcher and the giant egg, Gotcha Force, Viewtiful Joe, Chibi-Robo, Fire Emblem, Kirby Air ride, Starfox Assault, Legend Of Zelda and the 4 swords, Wave Race, and Skies of Arcadia Legends!

[@TheBloodyShadow]

Dude, Gotca Force is so good! It is my most played Gamecube game by far. Never found a game truly like it. I was even so close at a point (out of frustration that there aren´t any games like it) that I considered becoming a game developer just to create a similar game. 😂

[@Ramiryoooooooooo]

Ethically, if Nintendo doesn't give you a way to purchase any ot these titles, emulating them becomes the only way to preserve them and ensure they aren't lost forever.

[@blumiu2426]

For as much that can be said of Metal Gear series, it most definitely went the anime direction, so Twin Snakes fits right in. In no way can even the original be taken as truly grounded given all the shenanigans and enemies.

[@steveleavell114]

Play F-zero GX on Dolphin with 3x upscaled graphics and the widescreen hack. I was blown away with how good it looked.

[@yoyoprofessorxavier]

Baten Kaitos which we are now getting is nice. Adventure Island is also a good one. I really loved custom robo though. That one was special.

[@bobtom1495]

Another one to add to the list is Star Fox Assault. I don't know why people don't bring that one up. It was an awesome game and was more of a traditional Star Fox game. Also I wish I had Go Go Hypergrind. That game is expensive...

[@thatvideogamesshow]

I’ll have to add it to part 2! 🙂

[@andreanastro6189]

Custom Robo Arena on Nintendo DS was my holy grail, one of the game I played like CRAZY when I was a child.

[@Whyteeford]

Man the GC had such great graphics in its time. To me, it was the best looking console of that generation (PS2, GC, Xbox)

[@IronMan3582]

So if you have an Xbox Series X and purchase the license for Developer Mode (it's only $20) you can get the native UWP port of Dolphin and play every single one of these games listed along with the entire GameCube and Wii catalog in 4K60fps. This is something that has been done and demonstrated on other KZbin channels and is currently the best way to play these games until an official release becomes available

[@thatvideogamesshow]

[@IAMimprov]

Geist is extremely underrated

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

It really is!

[@Fools_Requiem]

Beach Spikers is super frustrating because the game will suddenly shift you to controlling the other character depending where the ball is going. This wouldn't be so bad, but they give you no time to react and of you start moving your character to intercept the ball before it shfts to the other player, you end up running away from where the ball is coming to. I can't even finish the tutorial lessons because of it.

[@ithydoodles]

I'm extremely happy that neither of the Baten Kaitos games can possibly be on this list anymore 😊🎉

[@thatvideogamesshow]

Same here, so glad they got a re release!

[@newageBoundhippie]

....you don't go to other planets in Star Fox Adventures. You fly between segments of Sauria ( the dinosaur planet ) because what General Scales has been doing has split the planet into multiple pieces. I actually own every game mentioned except for Twin Snakes, Beach Spikers and Hypergrind ( I was never interested in that one tbh )! And I'm always pleased to see Geist given some love. if there's a part 2, I'm hoping you showcase Chibi-Robo, Odama, Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, Wave Race: Blue Storm, Skies of Arcadia Legends, Doshin the Giant and the frustratingly Japan only Giftpia

[@knightsabre2k]

PN03 is a very special game. It's so easy to brush it off with the clunky controls and bland looking levels but once you understand the combat mechanics and get into the zone, it's absolutely beautiful to watch & it can give a hell of a rush when things get going. The closest thing I can think of that is similar is God Hand on the PS2, another game that didn't do well initially but built a very strong cult following.

[@mattia1026]

PN03 and God Hand are made by the same devs, that's why they're similar.

[@knightsabre2k]

not quite. PN03 was developed by Production studio 4, not clover studios, though some members of the team did move over after Studio 4 got closed, most importantly, Mikami, who directed both.@@mattia1026

I played Blood Roar as far as it went (4) but I could never figure out the name of P.N.03 and didnt know what to put into google to search.

How did you guys play first person shooters on GameCube, considering it didn't have a normal second stick on the gamepad?
