Is a second tidal wave of Metroid content here?
Metroid Prime 4 finally arrives this year. After 8 painstaking years of waiting since the game’s fateful E3 2017 announcement, and 18 years since Prime 3, it’s easy to see why most gamers are not concerned yet with what lies Beyond, well, Beyond. However, if we pull ourselves out of the black hole of game release countdowns to examine the wider state of the franchise, it’s easy to discover that Metroid might be primed for something of a second renaissance in the coming years. So in this video, let’s analyze the likelihood and reasons behind a potential tidal wave of Metroid content we might still receive during this decade.

F-ZERO GX was INSANELY ahead of its time.
Просмотров 39 тыс.21 день назад
In the early 2000s, the racing genre was firing on all cylinders, and F-ZERO GX was one of the most impressive titles of the decade. Release in 2003 for the GameCube, Fzero GX holds up incredibly well compared to its competitors from the time, and even compared to modern racing games. So in this video, let’s explore and compare why F-ZERO is a masterful experience that was so far ahead of its t...
Metroid Prime 4 NEEDS This Key Trilogy Element
Просмотров 2 тыс.Месяц назад
Metroid Prime 4 for Switch draws closer every day. As fans count down the days, there’s one smaller, underappreciated aspect of the original prime trilogy Retro Studios simply must preserve for Prime 4 - which is the incredible main menu sequences. Metroid Prime 1, 2, and 3 all had incredible intro and main menu sequences that left a lasting impression. This might sound like a trivial topic, bu...
Does Metroid Prime 2: Echoes Deliver Boss Fight Perfection?
Просмотров 935Месяц назад
Twenty years ago, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes delivered a bigger, darker, and more complex sequel to the original Metroid Prime classic. Those ambitions also apply to the memorable boss fights, such as the legendary Quadraxis battle. However, for the 20th anniversary of Echoes, it’s prime time for us to more closely examine why Quadraxis remains a perfect boss fight, reassess a couple of other cont...

Luigi's Mansion games ranked! Which is the best? Spooky special.

When Luigi’s Mansion debuted on the GameCube in 2001, it certainly wasn’t what most gamers expected from the flagship launch title of a new Nintendo console. The N64 launched with Mario jumping and star collecting across sunny skies, but Nintendo committed to the exact opposite for the GameCube’s debut. Luigi’s mansion delivered a literally dark, slow moving new IP without a single jump to be f...

Star Fox Assault - how much gameplay did it REALLY have?
Просмотров 2 тыс.3 месяца назад
Star Fox Assault delivered both action and controversy when it zoomed onto the GameCube in 2005. The game promised a return to action-packed Arwing missions after the slower Star Fox Adventures in 2002. But many players felt that Fox still spent way too much time outside of his ship. How true is this claim? How much Arwing gameplay - or even total gameplay - is there in this unique game? Let's ...
Star Fox Adventures is NOT a Legend of Zelda clone.

Star Fox Adventures is an unusual and surprisingly divisive game. Released in 2002 for the GameCube, this title from Nintendo and Rare wasn’t the Star Fox game many gamers expected from their next gen lunchbox. Many were quick to label this title simply as a Zelda rip off, a sentiment I don’t really agree with. So in this video, let’s examine why Star Fox Adventures is not really a Zelda clone,...

    The console just came out too late and had nothing of anything to offer hardware wise and had discs with low storage space which made it hard for developers to port games.......

    Easily one of my favorite games of all time. Probably the #1 thing which sticks out for me in F-Zero GX was the blinding speed. Unmatched in it's exhilaration. Good thing the handling was so precise. Back in the day, I even had the opportunity to use my custom cars in the F-Zero AX arcade cabinet. If you thought handling the cars with a GC controller was hard, try doing it behind the wheel in a gyroscope. 😵‍💫

    I have a modded gamecube that I run swiss on, and use an HDMI adapter and run some games on 576i/p and they still look great (better than this video). The gamecube is kind of my sweet spot for consoles since it was my last console as a teen/pre-teen before I got into PC gaming and PC building

    F-Zero GX is very good, but it's not better than F-Zero X. F-zero X has better gameplay, the combat is much better (when you use the move to hit the oponent, it has weight, GX feels like the cars are made of paper, and is even hard and not satisfying to destroy the oponent car), and the soundtrack is in another level in comparison.

    This game is an absolute masterpiece. So much to do, so much to unlock. I just completed all the story mode missions on very hard difficulty. Probably the hardest thing I've done in any video game ever. With f zero tho, you know its your mistake when you fail or come in second place, rather it being complete rng in other games

    Fzero GX/AX and Panzer Dragoon Orta were post-hardware Sega at their best. Not really sure what happened beyond that because Sega been phoning it in with shovelware the last 20 years. Regarding the GameCube hardware, it’s important to put in perspective the gecko would be Nintendos foundation for the Wii and WiiU, which were both essentially just overclocked GameCubes with a little more RAM. The GameCube was the last time Nintendo was actually competing for performance, and of its generation it was possibly the most capable, though Xbox, on paper, had stronger numbers, cross-platform ports often played superior on GC.

    Best racing game of ALL TIME hands down. Perfectly optimized. Insane amount of content. I have 100%ed this game twice. It's still just as much of a challenge and I can't wait for a possible Switch 2 game for this... Also, the music in GX adds so much life and pop to the game. Unparalleled! If anyone can get their hands on the Wii U emulated port for this game with the upscaled resolution. It's dope. A PC emulated version in 4K also looks sick.

    It's worth mentioning that Studio Liverpool wasn't able to get their hands on a PS2 dev unit for the first stretch of Wipeout Fusion's development. They were working under the assumption that the PS2's hardware would be similar to a high-end PC of the time, and wrote their code accordingly. When they finally did receive a dev unit, they quickly realized that their code was mostly incompatible with the hardware, and had to restart from (almost) scratch.

    I owned a dreamcast first, and then a ps2 and then xbox. Then i got the gamecube and i thought the GC looked the best in its own way. Same with the dreamcast. Overall the xbox looked the best tho. Ps2 looked the worst to me but ps2 was my overall favorite out of all of them.

    Really appreciate your analysis emphasizing the aesthetics and "feel" of the game, over specs on paper. I feel like playing on a CRT if possible is also a crucial part of the style of these low res 6th gen titles. Ico especially, considering it runs at 240p, which makes it look incredible on a tube tv. I was considering the remake, but I'm picking up a copy on PS2 soon to play on my CRT, in a dark room with good speakers. I thought Ico was incredible, so I can't wait

    I loved my Gamecube. Through much of that generation, it was the only console I had. Even after I got a PS2, I really didn't play it that much. I agree that it is an underrated console, ESPECIALLY at the time. Owning it, and playing the best games felt like some kind of exclusive club that most people didn't get to be a part of, because it was just a small pocket of people that knew about the games, and discussed them. Great video!
