it`s the art style, games now don`t do cell-shaded or "cartoony" graphics for some reason, but the simplstic art holds up always.. look at Beyond Good and Evil, that style at the time was very popular, animated animals like Pey'j were popular (like in sly cooper for example as well), then look a the trailers for Beyond Good and Evil 2 (a now probably dead game but still) and see how much more realistic they planned to do it and just shows you the shift towards "cool, realistic" graphics in gaming

I never liked the graphics on the GameCube.

it was a combination of sylized graphics + nintendo pushing hardware capabilities. nowadays only the 1st remains and nintendo is 2 generations behind in terms of hardware power.

DUDE. Mario Sunshine was so fun

I use the eon gchd and am very happy with the results

Looks sick i love star fox and really want to play these and also twilight princess and windwaker

So great 🎉

The problem with gamecube was that, while the games still look good enough to play, at the time of release, the two competing consoles had much better graphical quality. The cell shaded games were ahead of their time and were widely seen as Nintendo compensating for their much weaker graphical hardware. It also doesn't help when you demo a realistic looking Zelda game at E3 and then launch Wind Waker. There was definitely some backlash there. Overall, Xbox and Playstation 2 were seen as the more serious gaming consoles at the time; the graphics were better and they had much larger game libraries. That's not to say that there weren't any good games on Gamecube. There definitely were. There were just less of them, and the graphics did not look like as much of a generational leap over the N64 as the Xbox and PS2 did.

For your next video: S-Video cable. I got one for my GameCube and was pleasantly surprised it was backward compatible with my N64 and SNES. I definitely wished I had the Component cable, but I got one for my Wii and moved all my GameCube gaming to the Wii instead. I capture S-Video using a GV-USB2, but I've only used it for SNES so far. For missing games: I was sad you showed XGIII and not XGRA. I'm including this link for CryWolf, not trying to bump my own channel: ruclips.net/video/hr1lPNc1Umc/видео.html Such a great video highlighting GameCube, I love it! I'm gonna go watch the first one now. :)

You might have also mentioned, that they look even better on a crt, especially when you output through an rgb cable, and that its impossible to really do them justice on a modern screen. The low resolution and the lack of anti-aliasing is really not noticeable at all when playing on a crt, especially if its one with a smaller screen. The last time I played Double dash on my Wii displaying on a 14 inch crt through an rgb cable I was seriously amazed by how the graphics didn't look dated at all.

Luigi's mansion looks great on GC.

Luigis mansion 1 had the most soul. Each "Boss" had their own description, relationships and and and.. plus the story just made the most sense to me, idk best game by far haha

you dont need 200gbs worth of textures, nor path traced lighting to make games look good. especially since realistic graphics tend to age rather poorly. artstyle and some basic 3d rendering techniques are enough to make games look decent, such as shade smoothing, beveled edges, normal maps and basic global illumination that unifies texture tint. compare something old like tales of vesperia 2008 to a more modern tales game like xillia that is 5 generations newer and you will realize that polygons arent everything. what happened? they nailed vesperias graphics and couldnt replicated it since. booting up sunshine always feels fresh visually despite its age. i love gta san andreas, but man, did it age graphically in spite its gorgeous art style.

The great thing as well is if you uprender alot of wii games you get even more if the sane with better leg room

No it doesn't.

When I went back to play Mario sunshine, I was blown away by the water graphics. Looks so good

I got a Gamecube a few weeks after launch but before that Best Buy had a demo unit. I played Rogue Squadron 2 and it blew me away. I couldn't believe graphics could be that good at the time. Then again I was going from playing the PS1 version of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 to that. When I got my Gamecube Rogue Leader was my first game, all my other friends got Luigi's Mansion though.

I want a new Wave Race ( and Pilot Wings ) so bad.

The two towers and return of the king need remasters!!

Really nice video man.

Wish TOTK ran that well 😢

The Gamecube produced an amazing game feel, too. Games felt crisp, fresh, and responsive. Both Kirby Air Ride and Smash Bros. Melee share the same engine and both are one of the tightest, snappiest games around.

Sad that Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles is not featured in this list. It had both amazing graphics and art style

A lot of Gamecube games look like modern titles running on a low graphics preset. Starfox Adventures is one of the best examples of this. A few touch ups and modernizations and it would look brand new.

Killer 7

Yeah, nobody really talks about how good Super Mario: Sunshine is… You ever heard of a guy named Dunkey?

Wow and there are so many games I never knew about. I had Xbox at the time but always admired the cube. PS2 was cool with larger memory and wireless controllers and blue ray but the games did not appeal to me like the Xbox ones. I think after Xbox 360 consoles and gaming started getting pretty dookie if you know what I mean.

Hell yeah the Gamecube. It had a shortrun but me and my buds played the hell out of Super Smash bros Melee. I played a tad of Metroid Prime and wish I played more because it was at a friends place. The only issues I had were the controls but I would love to play it today with an Xbox 360 converted controller and remapping. Also I noticed file sizes are very small and Gamecube had Metal Gear Solid Twin Snakes too! Oh yeah I would even argue many titles like Rogue Squadron 2 and Soul Calibur which I played too hold up today. Gaming standards have dropped heavily in the last decade due to corporate scheming. I suspect we will never return to the golden age of gaming. I have created a video on my channel with a very different opinion on why the gaming industry has shifted towards mediocre garbage. Video titled : Gaming industry is dead discussion turns to rant.

It's not just the hardware, though it might have helped. Look at the xbox's Blinx The Time Cat, which looks and plays like garbage. Mario Sunshine came out about the same time and it still looks like a Pixar movie. Nintendo just puts the effort in that almost no other developer bothers to do.

5:15 Hey DJ! Gimme a fat beat!

Beaten Kaitos is still one of the prettiest games of all time.

Funfact The gamecube was stronger then the ps2 in terms of hardware. but the 1.6gb mini disc maybe its hard to make bigger games and better textures.

F-Zero GX gave me my depression.

YOU still look insane in 2024

In 16 years we went from NES to Gamecube, the difference was phenomenal. Whats changed in the last 23 years? Unfinished releases, with patches. Partial game releases, with paid DLC to unlock the rest. Pay to win. Subscription, games as service

No mention of Metal Gear Solid Twin Snakes THUMBS DOWN

Not one mention of Metal Gear Twin Snakes THUMBS DOWN & UNSUBBED

I wish they got GameCube games on emulators.

GameCube was amazing! I am so happy I chose to get it back then rather than ps2 or Xbox. However it was not even a question since I enjoyed Nintendo games even before GameCube

Gamecube an underrated legend amongst consoles.

Rogue Squadron 2 is insanely impressive

When i was little, Gamecube was my first console, and i loved it. Then my older siblings had a party at the house, and someone stole my gamecube. I was devastated. Then i got xbox, and then i switched to playstation 😅

I was raised by the gamecube. ❤

HD Texture packs for.. yes, the other way to play my GC games. I own the original from day one, and the games are outstanding. HD 4k.. is... another game changer. HD 4k for N64 is also out of this world cool. Try Mario 64 HD, you will think you are playing a Switch 2 title. The "architecture" is there, it is the "textures" that lack the detail given the storage size. Gamecube was big on changing to the Mini-Disc format, 2 discs in some cases. The texture quality, as well as the polygon as you mention, was outstanding.

It obviously wouldn’t be too hard to port over the motion controls to dual analog since the community has already done it. I am playing through Metroid prime trilogy right now on my steam deck with dual analog controls through primehack. If you use emudeck to install prime hack on a steam deck it even changes the button prompts to match the steam deck buttons.

Frankly, I don't care how they do it as long as I get them before Prime 4 and I can buy them physically. I missed these games the first time around, so I would love to play 2 and 3 before 4 comes knocking.

what about the splinter cell games

Pikmin blew my mind when I first got the gamecube

That Metroid Prime looked jaw dropping. I remember having seen just the start screen of it, which looks like inside a Metroid.

I mean the art style is good but it is no where close to looking as good as now
