The Gamecube was actually more powerful than the PS2 despite the console only using mini discs, and not having a DVD player without the add on.

That and the lack of third party support was its downfall. The specs were definitely better than ps2 and could punch up to Xbox at times.

You're actually wrong about the Gamecube dude. Though it was a common misconception, if you look up the specs, the Gamecube was actually more powerful than the Ps2 in every metric. Its big downfall was the proprietary discs, small and could not hold more a couple gigs of data, meaning a lot of games had to be scaled down. General speaking when games had multi platform releases, they often performed the worst on ps2, gamecubes graphics are better, though even at the time I believed otherwise lol. Xbox was more or less twice as powerful as the Gamecube, Microsoft sold them at a huge loss purposely to build a follower base (and honest they can afford to lose millions of dollars lmao) ~ Done with my nerd rant, Gamecube stan forever lmao

I was born in 84, the NES was my first system. That said, you really gave the GameCube a raw deal. Maybe not a ton of games were on it, but there were a ton of great games for the size of the library. Animal Crossing, WindWaker, Paper Mario Thousand Year Door. I played it as an adult and actually traded in my PS2 for it. I guess opinion does depend on what type of game you like though. It's one of my favorite Nintendo systems and my least favorite is actually the N64. The best are probably Super Nintendo and Switch.

Mad respect for the PS1 love. I only really caught the tail end of the SNES/Genesis era, but I got a PS1 in July 1997 and played the ever loving heck out of it. I rented so many games over many weekends, and since the PS2 was backwards compatible I was playing PS1 games well into the mid to late 2000s. For sure my favorite console of all time.

[@jonnyrodz943]

[@Landonio]

"GameCube's graphics were outdated on release"? Whoever that guy was in chat has no idea what they're talking about. GameCube was kind of a little monster when it came out. Not quite to the level of the Xbox, but certainly more powerful than the PS2, and it held it's own for a long time. I actually think for the first year or so if it's life, it was pumping out better looking games than the Xbox. It wasn't really until Splinter Cell when the Xbox REALLY started showing it's power and taking the graphical lead among the three consoles of that generation. Regardless though, I think the GameCube is one of the most underappreciated consoles of all time. It's full of classics. And it was Nintendo's last "traditional" console tbh.

[@benmckenna8800]

You got a lot of power for the money. It was priced at $100 dollars after a couple years. It didn't get a lot of 3rd party games because Nintendo made the same mistake they made with the 64 and went with mini discs instead of DVDs

[@nevermindgaming6848]

Bro he's right lol some of those games looked better on ps and Xbox lol

Also wasn't Luigi's Mansion loved by almost everybody? Isn't it a classic now that has to sequel? I don't think a game has to be as epic as Halo to have a big following like Luigi's Mansion did.

[@GlassMaster_Jae]

@@nevermindgaming6848 some of that might boil down to how hard Nintendo makes it to develop for any of their platforms or that the memory on the GC discs were smaller hence why they got double discs like with 007 Rogue Agent. The GameCube hands down had better graphics than the ps2 though.

These games have aged poorly people don't care for them anymore. Scripted games generally were a fad.

But the PS3 was KNOWN for their exclusives! Uncharted, Heavy Rain, Killzone, God of War, Resistance, Motorstorm, The Last of Us, Ratchet, Demon Souls, Infamous, Little Big Planet, Gran Turismo and Metal Gear Solid 4 to name a few. I'd say only the snes or ps1 comes close to the quality and amount of exclusive games. Respect for shouting out mg acid on psp though, a very interesting and fun take on the series not enough people talk about.

GameCube was Nintendo's last real console, and it had a bottomless pit of AMAZING 1st party and 2nd party games. And the controller was a masterpiece! Even to this day, I still play it regularly. I grew up in the Genesis/SNES era and had a GameCube in my teens when hardly anyone else them since they were the uncool console of the generation. But the games though!! Super smash Bros Melee, Resident Evil Remake, Metroid Prime, Eternal Darkness, The Wind Waker, Pikmin, Resident Evil 4, Mario Party 4, F-Zero GX, Super Mario Sunshine, Luigi's Mansion, Timesplitters 2, 007 Nightfire, Metal Gear Solid The Twin Snakes, Super Monkey Ball. They were all amazing and I played the hell out of them.

[@QuincyKane]

I think I agree with just about everything except for the PS3 ranking. The "Uncharted" series and "God of War 3" are a few of my favorite games; at the time, the only appeal of the Xbox 360 was that it had "Bioshock", but once they made that for PS3, it was pretty much a perfect console for me.

Number 2 Seeing your mature take on music. I was born in 85 and remember kids would have lost their lives if they admitted to liking certain bands, BSB, GREEN DAY, Creed etc. I remember all the stupid gatekeeper shit us "Real fans" all the bands we had to pretend to be super into and all the bad bands we had to either vocally hate or sneak a listen to on the dl while simultaneously disssing them. I used to be that guy and after growing I hate that guy. Number 3 you have been more influential than almost all of my homies as you were able to get us to give new bands a try. I moved my wife and kids to Shenzhen China back in 2013 and brought two 500 disc cases of 80s and 90s cartoons, only show them 80s music movies usually etc. was also massive into hip hop all that blah blah. I just had given up on new music almost 100 percent. after 2 weeks of your videos got into Ronnie Rad (who didnt even know who he was.) Jxdn, Young bludd, etc all dope.

I don't think Finn plays many games. The original Xbox pioneered online play. Xbox Live's foundation was on the original console and all online services on consoles today exist because of it. It also created all the shooter controls we use today. It was twice as powerful as the PS2. It had all of the western RPGs on it like Fable and Morrowind. Easily A tier console. Also, the community of people that use and mod that console every day wildly eclipses people that still use the PS2.

[@SoloDoloSpaceman]

PS3 is S Tier for me. The free online, Blu-ray player and rechargeable controller made up for lack of exclusives. OG Xbox is A Tier. Exclusives weren’t good. But the Controller S is still one of the best controllers ever. And every game that was cross-platform looked and played better than on PS2. And a lot of games had the ability to listen to your own music while you played. Shooting my way through streets of Verblensk in BLACK while the theme to “Pokémon: The First Movie” plays in the background will always be a fond memory.

[@mattb.2740]

OG Xbox had a core of extremely strong exclusives, imo. Star Wars:Knights of the Old Republic is one of the best rpg's of all time, and Bioware' s other offerings like KotOR 2 and Jade Empire were also good. Of course, Halo 1+2. Forza Motorsport. Online shooters like Mechwarrior and Crimson Skies were a lot of fun. To put it below GameCube doesn't make a lot of sense to me based on 3rd party support.

That boxing game on Dreamcast was legit. Maniac Mansion was my favorite NES game and the gold cartridge Link game. Oh the day's of "pfffffffffft" in the slot and cartridge lol

My ps3 ran for like 20 years straight. They built a tank. It's still going today

[@lucymorrison]

PS3 is the goat console.

[@Nowledgeman]

​@@lucymorrisongoat console, but games were better on ps2

[@dan.r9220]

Never thought about the dreamcast being an arcade port machine. That's why I loved playing it with my friends but not often alone.

[@nathangarcia1992]

Was not expecting this but I’m totally here for it! It’s refreshing to not have music content from time to time!

I watched Old Boy and The Butterfly Effect for the first time on PSP UMD. Definitely the best way to watch a movie.

This is a great video, as a fellow child of your era (born in '78) I progressed Atari -> NES -> SNES -> N64 -> PS2 -> XBOX360 -> Switch. All of those were groundbreaking at the time for all the reasons you mentioned. Somehow, my XBOX360 still works and can still download content, which is remarkable. I also had a Wii mixed in - and I think this is the one take that I strongly disagree with, but it has to do with how one looks at the Wii. As a pure console, the Wii sucked. Simply not good looking, library is bad, etc. As an experience - it's S tier. I have so many fond memories of parties and gatherings that involved the Wii and some of those games (provided no one broke anything) that it's kinda always been its "own thing". The motion processing of it was excellent for its time and the games can be addictive in short doses. Boom Blox was awesome, of course Sports and its corollaries, etc.

Love when you talk about games!

[@paulrainey4990]

Great list, Finn! I think one of the things that later generations consoles got wrong is they became too much like traditional computers. One of the main selling points console gaming had over PC gaming is that you didn't have to sweat hardware stuff. You put a game in the console and you knew it was going to play. You didn't have to worry if you had the right graphics card or enough RAM. When you started having to worry about hardware failures with the red ring of death and hard drives and other things with consoles, they lost a lot of their values, IMHO.

THIS is gonna be treat, thnx finn have nice weekend and stay safe!!!!

[@vycevictus1372]

Also, I'm old enough to have nostalgia for NES & Sega Master system (lol), but I had a great gaming "silver age" when I was stationed in Korea in the 2000s. The electronics markets modded our PS2s and OG Xboxes so we had a wealth of awesome international PS2 games at our fingertips, but we also had so many dudes in the barracks with tricked out xboxes that you could literally link together to download games from one another via FTP. Felt like I was in the future!

[@FinnMckentyPRMBA]

FTP 😅

Xbox 360 is S tier. It changed gaming forever. I consider it the first modern console. There were tons of fantastic games. It implemented Xbox live and was also a multimedia platform. The red ring of death only happened in the early stages of the console, but the console itself was around for almost a decade. Sure, PS3 had a lot of the same features but it always felt like a knock off of the 360. They didn’t really innovate in the same way.

[@FinnMckentyPRMBA]

360 was a more innovative console by far

[@FostaFunk]

I was waiting to see where the SNES was on the list.. Glad to see it in S tier, I still play super Mario and Metroid on mine from time to time. They definitely still hold up.

[@LardGargantuus]

Yeah super mario world is easily one of the greatest games ever made. That map is so sick!

[@danielisbell]

I mean, it's literally in the name. SNES is short for S-tier NES.

[@HaydenTheHistorian]

Loving these variety videos! NES is still my favorite

[@jmarx3943]

The dreamcast was a great console for fighting game fans. Soul Calibur, and a bunch of awesome capcom fighters like project justice, street fighter ports, MvC, techromancer, etc etc.

[@Archemist03]

Hope he does a part 2 this was fun.a rewatch today

[@ReigningSemtex]

I really enjoyed your opinions on games consoles even if I disagree with quite a few points you made. I like these style uploads though Finn good work.

[@johnkoch9315]

Mario Kart Wii is great, No More Heroes is great, and Brawl is … honestly not that bad. Deal with it. 😎

[@joshuaread6838]

Still have my Nintendo I got on Christmas like 88, my Sega,, Dreamcast, Saturn, and Super Nintendo. Still play them all to this day. Loved my PsP, Gameboy as well. Got so many headaches from the red blaring light of my virtualboy as well.

[@lewielancaster1646]

Awesome tier video Finn!!! Really enjoyed this 👌🏻

[@fdevlin5932]

Really enjoyed this

[@jeffs162]

Check out Angry Video Game Nerd's review of Seaman for Dreamcast. It's a hoot!

[@endar2401]

This is cool to see as I had no idea you are so into games. It's sad you really missed out on the Xbox 360 though.
