The GameCube always reminds me of the Dreamcast. Secretly powerful, immediately identifiable library, amazing console design, and completely underappreciated.
Totally agree.
Drew I liked the GameCube more than ps2 at the time to be honest.
Oh you mean the wiiU
Most definitely
And made for gamers.
If I were you, with my severe OCD, I'd open up EVERY case in the entire game collection to see if anything else is missing!
I did! not anywhere!
Not to just check for the missing Paper Mario, but to make sure what else is missing!
I appear to be missing a few gems from my GameCube collection also.. since my discovery, my man cave is off limits. What made it even more frustrating was noticing that my copy of Path of Radiance was amongst the missing gems.. that game was one of my favourites growing up and isn’t exactly cheap to replace nowadays, especially not in the UK (my younger self was far too trusting). 😢
Totally agree
I recently discovered that my copy of RC Pro AM 2 was missing from its box after a re-consolidation of my games inventory. It's not Game Cube; it's original NES. But it's so devastating because it's one of those games that you wouldn't expect to be worth a lot of money that's worth A LOT of money. It's going to take between $80 and $100 USD to replace it. I'll never let anyone (save for my wife) have access to my games again. You just can't trust people.
Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem - On my top list for sure
Just beat that game finally found it at a flea market for only $25 .Honestly one of the best horror games of all time!!
In my top 10 games ever
For sure not only is it my favorite horror game it's probably in my top 10 games of all time
Definitely thought he'd mention this as well as Sonic Adventure... I loved those games.
Yep
Eternal Darkness, FZero, Rouge Squadron, Windwaker, Mario Sunshine, RE4, Star Fox Adventures, Metal Gear Twin Snakes. Amazing system.
Yes! Someone else likes star fox!!
I was so sad that he didn't mention it.
Resident Evil 4 is the reason why I bought a GameCube. Another game I absolutely loved on the GC that you didn't mention was Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem. Excellent game!
It was also Resident Evil 4, that made me buy my first Gamecube system!.
1. Super Mario Sunshine
2. Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
3. Luigi's Mansion
4. Pikmin 2
5. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
6. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
7. Super Smash Bros. Melee
8. Mario Kart Double Dash
9. Super Mario Strikers
10. Skies of Arcadia: Legends
Honourable Mentions: Zelda Collectors edition, F-Zero GX, Pikmin, Metal Gear Solid Twin Snakes, Tales of Symphonia
GameCube is my 2nd favourite console of all time and one of my most nostalgic. Great video John.
Sunshine is the best
Mario Sunshine is definitely number one! 😎😁
Ay someone mentioning tales of symphonia! One of my fav games of all times. Im a big rpg fan so i would put it at 1 best GC games
gx is the best fucking thing on the gamecube
The GameCube holds a special place for me. I remember walking into GameStop and asking about Metroid Prime having really no idea what it was all about. It was cheap so I picked it up, and to say I was blown away is an understatement. That game completely changed how I view video games. Atmosphere, art, music, immersive gameplay and storytelling, it doesn’t get any better. Hollow Knight did that recently for me too.
"I had some people over I shouldn't have and stuff disappeared"
"Charles Martinet was over hanging out"
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....
My favorite console of all time!
My top 5 Gamecube games:
1. Metroid Prime (My favorite game of all time)
2. Sonic Adventure 2 Battle
3. Metroid Prime 2 Echoes
4. Super Smash Bros. Melee
5. F-Zero GX
TWIN SNAKES!!!!
Prime my GOAT as well (though I’d gave to play through BOTW again I because wow that game consumed me).
Not really any particular order, but:
Metroid Prime
Zelda Twilight Princess
Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Resident Evil 4
I could play these 5 games until the day I die.
Metroid prime is also my favorite game of all time. Skyward sword is close
People who hate sunshine are crazy. It's one of the best mario games PERIOD. It had so much depth and you needed SKILL to get 120 shines
Loved it! Replayed it last year and it's still awesome!
Yes! Thank you! I replay Sunshine every summer and i replay Luigis Mansion every halloween.
P33b4Ugo5omwh3r3
“Mario is some slob plumber doing drugs”
Yikes, tone down the edge factor there.
People like Mario for the solid game design and level design. Franchise straight up created the standards for both side scrollers and 3D Platformers with its tight controls. It’s fine if you don’t like the series for whatever reason, but to ignore the reasons why people like it (and act like there aren’t any) is just silly.
Also you’re taking the OPs comment to seriously.
@@P33b4Ugo5omwh3r3 found the douchebag!
RetroYPbPr
Don’t feed him.
Would be nice to see the Wii U Windwaker remaster ported to switch. Great memories of that game.
I would buy it instantly! 😂
100% it will, too popular of a game.
Cartercus I honestly think they should just port everything to Switch at this point hahahaha. Considering older RPGs are getting ridiculously expensive, things like the Mana collection are the only way I can play these old games.
@@adronator Square is pretty good at rereleasing their library, so I'm surprised Chrono Trigger hasn't been ported to the Switch yet. I feel like it's only a matter of time.
Zelda bundle coming soon I bet with three Zelda games In package
I remember randomly finding Baten Kaitos Eternal Wings and Baten Kaitos Origins on GC 70% off, I had no idea what it was but I bought them and ended up loving it. Those two games are my top 2, I replay them all the time, the voice acting was amazing to me at the time despite some quality issues.
100% hidden gem!
Eternal Darkness is a memorable game.
I would have to have Star Wars Rogue Leader: Rogue Squadron II and Mario Kart Double Dash in my top 10.
Star Wars games were pretty much all I played on my GC. RS2, Clone Wars, Bounty Hunter. GC and N64 had so many great SW games.
For sure both need to be top 10. Double dash is up there with N64 Mario kart games
Fantastic list, man. The GameCube is probably my favorite system ever. I would add Eternal Darkness and Rogue Squadron 2 to this list.
Johnny, what a trip through memory lane. I love the GameCube and its games. Evelyn laughed when you said you smoked when sailing across the seas, and that it was so relaxing. Your list of games are spot on and I had a feeling your number 1 was Phantasy Star Online.
Thanks Danny!! :D
You have such an infectious and very positive attitude, I really like watching your videos and listen to what your take is on games.
Resident Evil 4 is still a great game today.
I really miss my gamecube from when I was younger, I even had the adaption that allows you to play GBA games. Playing Pokemon on my TV was mind blowing lmao.
I've been bingewatching your videos, man. I love how you pronounce "Time" and how you refer to games as "true classics". Thanks for your videos
The most hours I put into gaming on the gamecube was super monkey ball 2 , it was an absolute pleasure to play with friends as all the mini games were so much fun . At first it seemed that this was a children's game but soon the levels became very competitive , I would heartily recommend this to anyone who wants to play a challenging game that is so much fun to play on your own but gets five times better with friends around .
Thank you for continuing to bring back the memories ;D
I was so addicted to Phantasy Star Online on Gamecube as soon as I heard the music sneaking in while you were talking I knew! Great game and another great vid Johnny!
Great video Johnny! The GameCube and the PS1 are tied for me for my favourite console. Nice to see some love for this great machine
You have no idea how much I appreciate whenever you talk about phantasy star online
Excellent video... loved every second! "Happy" to have you around... keep up the good work!!! Greetings from Brazil... ^_^
Can't believe you haven't done a top 10 Cube video until now! Growing up with N64 and GameCube was the best
I've always been on the fence about getting a GameCube. Great vid! A little closer to getting one now. Thanks Johnny!
Skies of Arcadia Legends and both Baten Kaitos games would have spots on mine.
Ebay sells em' frequently.
The price is pretty steep last time I checked.
Without question, Tales of Symphonia and Skies of Arcadia: Legends.
Both are amazing rpg's. Couple years ago there was a huge sale on PS3 and I bought like 5 or 6 Tales of games for $34.
Yup Tales of Symphonia is my childhood. My #1 game of ALL time still.
@happyconsolegamer - I was waiting for this top 10. So many nostalgic memories with the Gamecube, great list :) I’m surprised though that “Skies of Arcadia” didn’t make your honorable mention list considering how much you loved the soundtrack and DC version.
i was just about to go to bed but your video kept me up. I’m glad I stayed up though. Great video. Your love for video games comes across.
In Metroid Prime, I really enjoyed reading all the notes about the pirates experimenting with the Phazon. It got darker and darker as the game progressed.
Great video as always, Johnny. I remember back in the early 2000s all my friends had ps2s and I was one of the only people in my circle who had a gamecube, and I'm so thankful for that, because I wouldn't trade the memories I made with the games on that console for anything.
Same. I had a ps2 and wouldn't trade it for xbox or gamecube. Thankfully my cousins had them so we could all enjoy every console
Damn... your lists are really good. Just watched the fighting games one. You sir have a fine taste!
The GameCube is still my favorite Nintendo console til date. The game library was fantastic.. Enteral Darkness, PN03, and so many I can name..
Great list Johnny. It was very interesting to see your reasons and stories from each game in your top 10 and all those games were really top 10 Gamecube games on most people's list.
However I was shocked you didnt mention Double Dash. I know you had F Zero GX for other racing games on your list but Double Dash was surprised you didnt talk. about it. One of the best racing games on the gamecube and a fan favorite among many.
You probably did play Double Dash but wondered what you liked more with F Zero that Double Dash didnt have. Other than that, great top 10 Gamecube video.
When I first got the gamecube I loved it and ever since it has been my favourite console. So much nostalgia and great games for me. I really needed this sort of video today, your videos always make my day. =)
F-Zero GX & Path of Radiance. Good choices. Those two are some of my favourites too. I also love Melee, Soul Calibur II & 1080 Avalanche. The Gamecube was such a good system.
Gc is one of the most important console for me, it rly turned me into a gamer.
My top 10 is:
1: wind waker
2: twilightprincess
3: Metroid prime
4: RE4
5: mario kart DD
6: tales of symphonia
7: super mario snshine
8: ssbm
9: metroid prime 2
10: mario party 4
You forgot to put RE4 on number one 😂
Love your videos! Good picks!
HappyConsoleGamer. You seriously are the best youtuber there is and I sincerely want you to know that. Your videos are so passionate and just extremely a joy to watch. Dont think you ever go unnoticed!
Thank you!! appreciated! :D
Still remember the allgengamers podcast with you and Pete Dorr talking about your Phantasy Star Online addiction and Gamester81 had to jump in to stop lol
Viewtiful Joe and Soul Calibur II w/ Link would definitely be on my top list for GCN.
...And both were released during the same year oddly enough.
Thanks for all of the videos!
Loving these Top 10's! And Gamecube is still my favourite console after all these years 💜
Man the Gamecube really did have a stacked library of fantastic games!
Loved your list!
Phantasy Star Online was life on the GameCube. Such a good online community too.
I really love your passion man and really enjoy your videos, keep up the good work and a belated congrats on your baby
I went to this amazing gaming expo today and I come home and see you've put out a video about Gamecube which is very near and dear to my heart. This is awesome. Loving your list too. Great video as always man! Please make more Gamecube Videos xD.

That Wind Waker music :,)
Hell yeah, another GameCube video! I hope to see more of these from you. My favourite GameCube game is Mario Kart Double Dash.
The first night after playing RE on Gcube, I nearly wet the bed.
Prior I had beaten RE2 on N64. But the Gcube was incredible.
Haven't watched this video yet..
Just wanted you to know that because of you I now LOVE listening to the music in my RPG games.
I used to play handheld games with no sound. Then i watched your video about getting the music for Chrono Trigger and trying to pick out the stages and the atmosphere the music created. So I figured.. why not try this. Started using headphones. MIND BLOWN!!
Much love!!
Great video! I love your energy and the historical context you provide regarding each game!
MY favourite Gamcube Games:
The Legend of Zelda - Twilight Princess
The Legend of Zelda - Wind Waker
Killer 7
F - Zero GX
Metroid Prime 1
Metroid Prime 2
Resident Evil Zero
Mario Kart Double Dash
Luigis Mansion
Eternal Darkness
The rogue squadron games were awesome too. I wish they'd bring those back.
Yes physical for switch and jedi knight package
Definitely Star Wars Rogue Leader. I remember when my brother and me took the Gamecube over to our father's house. We hooked up the s-video cable to his big screen tv and his killer stereo system. It was an amazing experience.
Great video! Thanks for the memories. Some thoughts and memories of my own: Metroid Prime~ I remember people nay saying the conversion to 3d and i used to hang out in Gamefan magazine's irc chat and even after the game was released there were still people who refused to play it, in spite of being told how amazing it was. I wonder if they ever got into it... Animal Crossing ~ Remember seeing this article in a magazine detailing a bizarre Japanese game where you fish, catch insects, decorate your home etc. and i was immediately excited about it. I never thought it would come West and flipped out when it did. Wind Waker~ My favourite 3d Zelda title still. Never had a problem with the graphical style as many did. And i actually enjoyed the seafaring although i was no longer smoking at that time lol
Johnny Millenium's (HappyConsoleGamer) Top 10 Gamecube List:
*Honorable Mentions*
Wave Race BlueStorm
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Legend of Zelda, The - Twilight Princess (GCN version)
Resident Evil (GCN version)
Paper Mario - The Thousand Year Door
*Top Ten List*
10. Resident Evil 4
9. Pikmin
8. Luigi's Mansion
7. Animal Crossing (GCN version)
6. F-Zero GX
5. Super Mario Sunshine
4. Fire Emblem - Path of Radiance
3. Metroid Prime
2. Legend of Zelda, The - Wind Waker
1. Phantasy Star Online - Episode I & II
Notes: Doubutsu no Mori (Animal Forest) was first released in Japan only for the N64. They later made Doubutsu no Mori+ and that's the gamecube version with some new features.
Personally, I wouldn't pick multi-platform games for a console list if they are available on two or three consoles as an example, so I wouldn't have personally picked Resident Evil 4 though I might give it honorable mentions as it DID COME OUT as a timed exclusive for the gamecube early on making it a desirable game on the gamecube for a period of time.
Great list! You should start the music a little later in your reveals though - while you were still creating suspense with your explanation when revealing a game, I knew most of them immediately through the background music ;)
Even though I couldn't play most of the games (I owned an Xbox back then) I greatly enjoyed this video, Johnny. Thanks for bringing me so much nostalgia with your channel!
Hello from Germany :)
Back in the days I skipped the Gamecube cuz I bought a PS2(which in my opinion is a million times better) but now I emulate the Gamecube games I was curious about.
Baten Kaitos is probably my favorite of all the GC exclusives I played so far.
Amazing jrpg that not many people know about. Has one of the best plot twists in games btw!
Viewtiful Joe was AWESOME!!! I hope that we get a Switch Port
Skies of Arcadia Legends is the most influential Gamecube game and one of the most influential RPGs for me. Viewtiful Joe and Megaman Network Transmission are second and third respectively.
The wind waker theme is forever my favorite theme. WHen I saw the symphony live and they played the wind waker medley and they played it I almost cried.
Beyond Good and Evil was one of my favorites.
The Gamecube era was when I stopped dividing my time between console and PC gaming. I have soooooo many Gamecube games to get through and experience for the first time... it's great! Thanks for your Gamecube hit list, I am clueless when it comes to the GC library.
There is one inescapable conclusion I came to watching this video, Charles Martinet boosted your Paper Mario!
I bought a Gamecube just for Resident Evil when it launched. I mostly played Resident Evil, Resident Evil 0, Resident Evil 4, & Eternal Darkness. I would say one of my biggest regrets is not playing more Gamecube games at that time. I remembered playing Luigi's Mansion at a Suncoast in the mall. I enjoyed it, but wasn't sure if I could justify picking up a console for it.
This was a very very good review of a system not alot of people talk about. Regularly
This was a fun list. I knew what your 1 was obviously as a fan of the channel. I started dipping into the GameCube a year ago and man do I love the system. It’s really good. Trying to get through sunshine now.
About to head to work this video just set me up for the day cheers Dude 👍
I lent my copy of Paper Mario to a guy back when I still lent things out to people and never saw it again
bradybrapples dude same I lent out my copy of bioshock... worst mistake ever lmao
Same story with my Saturn copy of Sexy Parodius...
I did the same thing with Suikoden 2, but lucked out when I ran into the guy a few years later and was able to get it back.
The one I've spent the most hours and actually days on was the GameCube game with a bunch of Zelda games on it. It had the first Zelda and Zelda 2 and a couple other ones.
Yup the special promo disc. I had 2 copies. I ended up selling them for over a hundred each
LoZ Linnks Awakening Oceania of Time and Majora's Mask
The Zelda Collector's Edition was one of the first games I ever owned. I got a second copy as a hand me down from a family friend and I ended up giving that to my buddy Joe as a birthday present. God, I miss middle school.
I'm never ready for the "Anyway guys, until next time" bit
Glad to see what your number one was. That's my most favorite too. We had the same keyboard and eventually bought Episode I & II Plus and Episode III wasn't bad either.
Love you John, keep up the good content and vibe
Great episode, I too love Luigi's mansion very much, also bought and enjoyed at launch Rogue Squadron and Burnout, I also have apart from your top 10 a lot of love for Starfox Adventures, Mario Kart double dash, Mario golf and a racing game SRS syndicate
I love your videos man 😄
The Cube was fantastic, it was my first console I bought with my first pay cheque from my first job. Viewtiful Joe was one of the games I got after Smash and Double Dash, and put so many hours into it. The gameplay, the style. Speaking of remakes, this game NEEDS a remake or remaster. Amazing top ten Johnny.
F-Zero and the GBA player! AHHHH, so good.
WindWaker for me was mind blowing, I have the collectors disc of Ocarina and played that on the cube and right after played WindWaker, and it blew my damn mind
Great top 10 list! Many of my favs mirror yours. Including PSO as numero uno!
I recently noticed my copy of Shaq Fu had gone missing. All that was left in the Shaq Fu box box was a note that said, "You're welcome." I think I'm okay with this.
Fantastic list, Snes and the game cube are by far my favorite systems. the Game cube was a wonderful system. you sir just got a new sub
The metal gear solid remake is what made me get a gamecube and i loved it.
Back then in the early 00'ies when many of my friends where talking about their PCs and the game "Black & White", was I playing my first GC game, titled "DOSHIN THE GIANT"!. That game is still one of my fav!
Gamecube is my favorite console of all time, along with SNES.
It had all these great "pairs" of games! Pikmin 1&2, WW and TP, Prime 1&2, both Baten Kaitos games, both Pokémon Colosseums, Sonic Adventure 1&2... And just lots of cool and ambitious titles in general, and a bunch of great JRPGs.
I´m actually replaying the Baten Kaitos games as I type this, and they definitely belong on my top 10 Gamecube games!
Very nice list, but a game i like that everyone forgets. Billy Hatcher! What a wonderful goofy Sega game. I miss the days when company's would take chances.
Specifically Sega. Nowadays it's eother Sonic or nothing. They have so many great IPs that they just don' t do anything with.
Underrated multiplayer game. I remember my good buddy making me try it when I was like 12 and we played it quite a bit
The Gamecube was the first console i ever “owned” (it was a gift for Christmas and was set up in my room) and i had 2 games i’ll never forget: Luigi’s Mansion and The Legend of Zelda Collector’s Edition. Oh, my, God, was my mind blown as a kid when i first popped that tiny disk in and saw that i had access to SO MANY ADVENTURES with Link. It was truly a magical experience and i’m so grateful to have had such fun times with all those wonderful games (shoutout to twilight princess, my personal favorite of the series ❤️)
Great list! Only one missing for me, personally, was Eternal Darkness, which was extremely unique and terrifying. Very memorable experience. But otherwise you got all of my favorites!
So glad to see wind waker so high on your list! OOT was my first Zelda, but this was my favorite Zelda for a long long time though!
The funny thing about the complaints that Luigi's Mansion is too short is that it's ended up one of my most played Gamecube games because it's so brief. My wife and I both do a replay through every now and again.
Great video! Some recommendations here that I passed over first time around like Pikmin, Waverace and Luigi’s Mansion. The Cube’s gradually becoming one of my top favourite consoles. Gotta say though, Mario Sunshine never sat well with me, even though I played it often way back when. Interesting to discover that I’m not alone on that one.
Hey there Johnny. Been watching your videos for a while now and I’m one of your newest subs... I seriously love your passion for gaming it’s very real and very hard to find these days on RUclips with so many $$ in everyone’s eyes.. anyways keep up the good work homie.
The GameCube was such big part of my childhood. It wasn't most powerful or most advance console. But a lot fun games and who can forget! The cool looking small disc lol
i love my wii
(Rev. 001 with GC- Mode)
most underrated Console.
So many great games on the system. I agree with a lot of those choices. Maybe in a slightly different order. But wow. Anamazing console for sure!
I would mention "Chi Bi - Ro Bo!" too ;)
I replayed Metroid Prime recently and I was amazed at how well the game still holds up to this day. It's still just as fun to play now as it was back then. And it still looks great (despite the low resolution). The fact that this game will soon be 20 years old just blow my %%$?& mind... haha
Its a masterpiece in my opinion, i play it at least once a year.
So good
Such a nostalgic system for me, and I didn't even have one myself. My cousin did, and I like to think back on those times we had with the Gamecube
Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II took most of my time on the GameCube. One of the greatest.
