Nintendo Gamecube Startup menu ~ 11 years of the purple (or black) lunch box

  • Опубликовано: 5 дек 2024
  • The Wii U has launched a little while ago today, but today also marks the launch of the Nintendo Gamecube, which launched 11 years ago today; hence why I decide to show off the gamecube startup menu and walk you through how it works. Nintendo, since the gamecube, has had a knack of making their menus very simple and intuitive, while still being playful and nintendolike (for lack of a better description). In this case, it uses its namesake quite literally as the bases of navigation with simply the analog stick and A and B buttons for confirmation and cancelling.

      Ikr!!! I had a strange glitch I think... Well, actually two... When my blue/purple gamecube couldn't read the disc, it came up to this menu... And once the gamecube wouldn't play ANY game apart from a wrestling game! xD I'm a girl, so that wasn't much fun... LOL!!!

      +Tierney Jackson (Miss Boo) It has a little device that controlls the energy of the laser. I don't know much about how machines works, but I know that if you messed up that thing, the laser would either be too slow or too fast, and it would stop reading discs completely.
      Well, my device broke...

      +SeaBiscuit The Game Cube have the exact same problem that the Nintendo 64 had. The only games that are really good are from Nintendo, or at least most of them. At least the N64 had Rare.
      That said, the controller, while different from any other, is my favorite controller to this date. All the buttons are nice to press and are very well placed. The two analogs had an shape so when you wanted to go straight, left, right, or on diagonal directions, the stick would stuck on that direction. It's also very round (contrary to the console itself) and nice to hold.
      The only bad thing I can say about the controller was the D-pad. It's very stiff, but thankfully, most games uses it only for menu or shortcuts, never for movement.

    • @Hambs23
      @Hambs23 9 лет назад +14

      I wish the developers actually developed a new controller for every console, instead of using the old SNES pattern. I know it's a good pattern, but if no one try something different, we will never see another "Game Cube controller".

And I loved the music back then it was soo peaceful. Every sound effect in the menu I can remember from a long time ago

      The GameCube having the "best-titles" is a matter of opinion. The stigma of it being a "kiddie-console" has a lot to do with aesthetics of the console itself and the controller. I mean seriously, a handle? C'mon. The GameCube Controller design worked great for Nintendo 1st-party games, but for 3rd-paries the button-layout feel awkward to put it mildly.
      Also terrible-decisions (which ultimately led to it's marketplace failure of only selling 21 million units worldwide) of not including a built-in broadband module or an online-service, the 1.5GB mini-DVD discs forcing developers to have to cut out features to save room, lacking the ability to play media at all.
      However, one thing the GameCube did have going for it which was not "kiddie" in the least was it's power. The IBM PowerPC "Gekko" processor was a beast. The "Flipper" GPU designed by ATI was also powerful. It wasn't on-par with the XBOX in terms of sheer horse-power but, it's efficient-design allowed for some developers to make games with visuals on-par with the XBOX or even better. *Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader* has visuals that stand up to this very day.
      Both the GameCube and N64 could have been so much more if not for Nintendo's greedy-practices. Had the N64 of been disc-based and if the GameCube used regular-sized DVDs and included broadband-internet capability, the PlayStation brand would have just been a footnote in history. Right along side things like Phillips CD-i or Panasonic 3DO. Today, people would have been like.......

    Gamecube. You'll never be missed.
    As much as I hated your start up, you gave me a great selection of games. You got me into Smash Bros, Mega Man, and other games. You were my first console I shared. As much as that startup still haunts me, I'll never forget the sad goodbye when I press start to play a game. While you younger brother was more successful, he was more cheerful and there were no scares. Gamecube, you'll never be forgotten. When I play Mega Man X Collection on my Wii, I'll remember your sweet sweet shape and variety of games. I've known you since I was 3 years old, and you've gotten me this far into the gamer life....
    Goodbye. You'll never be forgotten by me, your friends, your siblings, and nintendo..
