Wave Race: Blue Storm (2001 - GameCube) - Longplay

[@MrWii000]

The 2000s (and 90s) was probably the BEST time to be a kid!

[@treseancann1261]

I couldn't agree more.

[@DVDCDBR]

sure tiktok and smartphones are cancer for kids today. They do look like depressed adultes now staring in that thing.

[@murkel7634]

Everyone sais that about their childhood.

[@Rafrip2010]

I don't think so, I think being in 2009 (or 2010) is better then 1993

[@will_mcdermott]

Later it’s the worst time to be an adult

[@RadAbyss]

Such a great game, still to this day I'm amazed by the water physics.

[@MrBIGBUBBZ]

When I got a Nintendo 64 in I believe 97' it was the best Christmas ever in my life. I was born when the first Nintendo came out. The amount of simple fun my friends and I had playing Golden eye 007, Zelda, pilot wings, Diddy Kong racing ect. I Kno this is game cube but wow what an an era kids of this generation have no idea of. It's too easy now days for the dopamine dump of direct access to every movie and game on your couch. Friday's were so much fun getting ready to go out the door to hit up the pizza joint and block buster. The social interaction picking out a film is unparalleled to nowadays. Nostalgia

[@retrox64games]

I rented this game from Blockbuster, one of the best and most addictive games I ever had the pleasure to play on gamecube, surprisingly shocked me because I wasnt a fan of the n64 one, but I was obsessed with playing this one in order to unlock the Dolphin, which I finally did and was amazing to ride!!

[@petewinslowofficial]

I love how early games showed off the graphical abilities. The water looks great

[@turbokingxl91xboxones28]

This was my very first Gamecube game. I was 10 years old. The memories 😭

Dude this game was everything to me, if they remake this I will buy a Nintendo switch in a heartbeat. On the weekends I would play this and my mom would play music all night. Wish I can go back to the early 2000’s man..

[@EM-ES]

I love how this is dropped by the waterwraith in Pikmin 4 😂

[@charliehietala2915]

One of my first GameCube games, I was 5 or 6 I loved it

[@Dzzy123]

Such a great game. Jetski racing games seem to have fallen out of favor, but I'd love another one in this era. If the water and waves reacted this well in 2001, imagine how much better they'd be now at 1080p 60 frames with HD rumble. Wave Race and Jet Moto need to be revived.

[@Dzzy123]

@@rexlr695 A new Wave Race game would be on the Switch. Unfortunately, we would have to keep our expectations low since the hardware is weak.

[@FrameRater]

@@rexlr695 You forgot about ten years there.

[@swishfish8858]

In the meantime, I recommend "Riptide GP: Renegade", a pretty solid spiritual successor to Wave Race you can get on the Switch.

[@JGYoutube0]

This time, console, everything was just ideal. A technical powerhouse console, but one that didn't just rely on temporarily wowing people with tech gimmicks. Instead they put fun, creativity, heart and true gaming soul at the centre of everything about it.

[@josemanuelsalazartineo4484]

Almost cried from listening the intro

[@nolanstout23]

I remember playing this game and then turning on MTV and watching jackass

[@MarioLuigiBros-64-DS]

1080 & Wave Race Is Basically Nintendo’s Answer To The Extreme Sports Craze.

[@cartercartercartercar]

they had this at mcdonald’s. the whole game you could just stand there and play it. the world used to be so cool

[@xcg60]

reminded me of when I was 7 years old :’)

[@MedalionDS9]

Fantastic game and some of the most beautiful graphics in that first year for Gamecube

[@mihamsims]

The game was so replayable,the weather would change the feel of each level.

[@zebatov]

These graphics _were_ great!

[@5ch3nk]

They really should have kept the same art and music direction as Wave Race 64 IMO. That was a huge part of the appeal of the series.

[@SupraRy]

GameCube was Nintendos last graphical powerhouse

[@RabbidTheNabbit]

Back when nintendo made powerful consoles

[@uncledazz6817]

That water would probably still pass by today's standards 🤯

[@MrJamesDiamond]

Imagine a new entry into the series on Switch, in HD, with online etc. Would be so good. Nintendo won't do it though. Same as F-Zero etc.

[@GGYTTHEYT]

How did U react to the announcement

[@MichaeldeFilippi]

Wave Race 64 is launching on the switch tomorrow!

[@mrkilo-g8794]

Yes I need N64 and Remastered to play online

[@williamquintanilla-ko8sp]

Nintendo rather just put all there Resources on pokemon Mario and Zelda

[@billybobbob3003]

GAME LOOKS SO GOOD FOR BEING 20 YEARS OLD

[@anthillca3665]

damn. i so miss this game sooooo much..

[@harribo2005x]

They should’ve made WaveRace Resort in 2011 for the 3DS.

[@SigmaRho2922]

Wave Race Blue Storm later gained some competition with the release of Jet X2O in late October 2002, which combined elements of snowboarding racing games with jet ski racing games. Jet X2O had mixed to slightly positive reviews but did not sell well due to its shorter length.

[@SigmaRho2922]

It would not be until aqua moto racing utopias release that the jet ski racing game would be more enhanced.

[@whatifguy9675]

This felt like the Cruis'n series but with jet skis :)

[@heelzhinkaiger360]

You are TRULY the master!

[@myfinallight]

I found it on pikmin 4. You probably did as well

[@petermulder7480]

Totally forgot about this 💎 But had more fun with the 64 version.

[@Nutty151]

Lol, this is what the N64 game looked like to me as a kid. I never played this one though.

[@brittanyenordlund7195]

Between wave race 64 and wave race blue Storm I honestly loved wave race 64 better as a kid my favorite levels was and still is twilight city and glacier coast and Sunset Bay on Nintendo 64 I was like 7 when wave race 64 came out

[@Did_a_BarrellRoll_NowWhat]

The 64 music was definitely more iconic. Playing Southern Island in Bluestorm definitely left me underwhelmed each time.

[@a-terrible-fate532]

I only ever played waverace 64 as a kid. The graphical and sound difference between the N64 and the GameCube is fairly big.

[@Robstu17]

This game was dooooope. Loved the water physics in the loading screens

[@romaocasals5027]

What is the HDMI adapter used on the GameCube for this video?

[@theduder1981]

Didn’t even know there was a Waverace for GameCube. Interesting.

[@MadSociety-uy6zg]

I'm sorry I'm admiring the little details like the water physics like I don't think any other console like ps 2 and Xbox graphics and physics was this good GameCube had the best looking games in my opinion PS2 and Xbox has a lot of fun great games as well just I look at games like this and especially the Metroid prime games on GameCube and even original Luigi's Mansion looks amazing I'm like these games were really on the GameCube wow.

[@rexlr695]

GameGube was in the middle of processing power. Faster than the PS2, but significantly behind the X-Box. There is no way the GameCube would have ran Halo, for example. The original X-Box was using a modified GeForce 3 from extremely high-end gaming PCs at the time.

[@MadSociety-uy6zg]

@@rexlr695 So what GameCube games still looks amazing to this day hell a lot of GameCube games looks better than og Xbox games like Metroid Prime 1 and 2 look almost like a modern game they look that good Nintendo use to know how to use their consoles passed their limits really well.

WOW, Wave Race Blue Storm are absolutely agree but it's remake in Nintendo GameCube! 1st in Normal Grand Prix: Nigel Carver 1st in Hard Grand Prix: Ayumi Stewart 1st in Expert Grand Prix: Ryota Hayami!

[@SandovalHely]

I loved Nintendo when they wanted and built powerful consoles, GameCube was way more powerful than ps2 and Xbox , I mean look at those water effects and geometry better than most games today, imagine Mario or Zelda if Nintendo Built machines at least as powerful as the ps4 or ps5

[@MarkFendy-sw7hn]

Also n64 was a powerful console too! Loved it so much!

[@suprememasteroftheuniverse]

Incredible how the water surface doesn't move at all. No waves, wave race 😂💀

[@HackmanDeinesVertrauens]

depends on the weather- and difficulty settings + the course you chose and the round youre in. f.e. stormy weather and hard difficulty on an open sea course at the last round, because the weather changes from first to last round. youre welcome.

[@secretmulletman7984]

The announcer sounds like Leonardo impersonating Michelangelo

[@HellLord0931]

This game is good (as well as the gameboy one) but wave race 64 is still untouchable

[@pawelallable]

This actually seems like almost a downgrade vs the N64 version of waverace. Maybe its my nostalgia speaking, but N64 waverace almost seems like a simulator compared to this arcade feel.

[@kamranki]

Wish that they had given the water a little specularity (present in N64 version).

[@technicalmachine1671]

I don't know where you got those dates, but they're definitely not right. The GameCube came out in 2001, not 2000, and in the US it launched in November with Wave Race as a launch title.
