Feels like the Gamecube library doesn't get much love these days. I wanna play titles like Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door and Kirby Air Ride on my Switch.
It's so heartbreaking to hear Skies of Arcadia sold poorly. Though now that I think about it, I only found out about it through a distant friend who also owned a Dreamcast. Thanks to him, I own and love both the Dreamcast and Gamecube versions of the game. I hope the franchise comes back someday.
I picked it up from TRU when it was reduced to $9.99. A really great deal. Hard to choose between Skies of Arcadia and Tales of Symphonia as the best RPG on the GCN
I owned a Dreamcast and Skies of Arcadia, and I'm also saddened by its lack of popularity. It really is one of those hidden gems that you REALLY should play if you ever get a chance. Shame, it was such a fun game.
I have played Skies of Arcadia over probably 5 times normally, and I recently discovered a mod to rebalance the game, so that gave me something new to try. I would love a sequel, but I don't have my hopes up at the moment.
It's my favourite game of all time, I love it so much. Gutted that we never got a sequel, but there's been rumours of a remake for a while now, so maybe it isn't completely out of the question!
7:54 This is something that people who blame Rare's decline on Microsoft need to see. People really take for granted that a LOT of the questionable business/creative decisions Rare made came from within Rare itself, not from Microsoft. Conker's cancelled sequel, the direction of Nuts & Bolts, that was all Rare.
Yea, it's really strange how downhill that company went after the buyout, especially with all the amazing games they were making for so long. I genuinely wonder why they started making so many missteps after Microsoft bought them.
@@chuckbatman5 that was more because Rare was getting ready to pack up and leave over to Microsoft and basically wanted to finish off one last project piece before graduating out of Nintendo school or transferring per say
Skies of Arcadia was such a marketing failure, I'd literally never have heard of it bar Vyse and Aika are in Valkyrie Chronicles. Sega are terrible at advertising releases. If it's not Sonic or Yakuza they barely advertise it.
That Kirby game taunted me for years. It was always in Nintendo Power's list of upcoming games for Gamecube, then it disappeared. I was devastated and never got into Kirby as much since. The trailer looked so good.
Glad I’m not the only one who thought that was one of their biggest mistakes. We could’ve got so many more DK, Starfox, Banjo and Conker games. Just as much as Intelligent Systems makes FE game after FE game and Monolith making Xenoblades.
The fact that Nintendo partnered with Phillips for Wand of Gamelon rather than PlayStation is evidence enough that Nintendo doesn’t usually make good partnering choices.
It is their second biggest blunder after failing to partner with Sony for CD functionality in their upcoming consoles. Even so, Rare did help keep Nintendo alive after Sony took the lead in the console wars.
Rare was already becoming a hollow husk at that point, nothing would have changed. Nintendo would have just had to pick up their slack, Microsoft was basically buying a vegetable.
Microsoft has so many canceled projects they even appear on a Nintendo console video. EDIT - Eh, I just did a troll comment, wasn't expecting to have people reply/like this. DYKG keep doing a good job, ignore my comment, I'm just another troll.
lets say youre in your 20s or 30s, like most people here. youll prolly live for another 30 or 40 or 50 or more years. whatre the odds that nobody makes a port/remaster/remake/sequel/spiritual successor to it in your lifetime? ive got no fucking clue since i have no clue what the gaming scene will be like during all those decades, but thats how i look at series i love when im sad ill never get another one (was a huge pikmin fan as a kid) so dont lose hope, at the very least it seems unthinkable someone wont at least make a legally distinct game inspired by it
I wouldn't hold out hope forever because you'll just be disappointed. The game didn't sell well on either the Dreamcast or the Gamecube. Sega is in the business of making money and they don't have much of any reason to try their hand at making a sequel.
I can't imagine what it must be like to conceptualize, plan, design, develop, etc, a game only to have it cancelled. Hours, days, weeks, sometimes months of work only to say... nevermind.
- every minute you spend working on a game that won't sell or is taking too long to complete is lost profit - spending money to license, manufacture and mostly importantly market a game that won't sell is lost profit - if a game looks like it won't sell, the publisher will can it to prevent lost profit It's a business.
Did you know? The GameCube is a timeless classic, with classic games, and one of the best controllers ever! Unlike Sonic because he was never good!! Lol!
Nintendo peaked with the GameCube and Wii honestly. I mention the Wii because of it’s backwards compatibility which gave it that edge and of course, Virtual Console.

A new 2d metroid, metroid prime trilogy, and Prime 4 are all in development right now. Just because nintendo doesn't publicly state Metroid is a priority doesnt mean its not
Never understood why Nintendo didnt just make the gamecube about the width of a regular DVD drive or maybe a little bigger and just mount a tray slot above the controller ports to eliminate the small disc issue
I've heard it was because of Piracy and Nintendo don't want media that can be easily pirated but of course that decision bit them in the damn ass like always and still couldn't do DVD functionality when given a second chance with the Wii...
Nintendo hates or at least tries very hard to avoid the simple and direct approach which is ironically generally accepted as the proper and smart choice. They always have to be unique and special, which as shown throughout their hardware production, doesn't always go right, or has lasting issues outside of their initial issue which was only partially alleviated via their special solutions. Mini-discs and the lack of DVDs, cartridges during the height of discs, the entirety of the wii in terms of power and controller (which was both a good and bad thing, mind you,) the *Wii U*,* the Switch's store and architecture, anything online-related, etc.
@@samuraivader3814 Yep i know about that already and you need to hack your Wii to do playback DVD via a homebrew app called WiiMedia (or something like that)
Damn, Skies of Arcadia is my favorite RPG of all time. That breaks my heart to hear there was a sequel in the works that got cut due to poor sales. I know all too well how badly it sold, as it's one of the rarer titles for both Dreamcast and Gamecube.
There is definitely A LOT to say about them development wise. However, I don't think there is that much information about it out there. Don't think the ex Cing developers have had that much interviews.
@@brandonwilliams6119 More features doesn't automatically equate a better game, though. In fact, with party games like Kart racers, simpler is often better.
Fun fact: the UK had a version of Battlebots. It was known as Robot Wars over here, but the concept was largely the same. The “house robots” largely didn’t get involved unless provoked though, occasionally stepping in during stalemate situations.
There were a lot of weird and wonderful games for this console that never made it to market. The ones I am most disappointed about not reaching the market were I-Ninja 2 and that car combat game featuring MetallicA. That could have been very interesting...
@@GoodlyPenguin He was more Sony's de facto mascot. They never owned him, the PS1 was just easier and cheaper for Naughty Dog to develop compared to the Saturn and N64.
One of the coolest fake-outs in Eternal Darkness is when it ends a chapter pretty early in the campaign, stops all the music and cuts to an image teasing an upcoming sequel. An effective (scripted) sanity effect. But it sure would be cool if Eternal Darkness was a duology on the GCN. (Or maybe GCN and Wii.)
@@MarkTaylorsVersion Sure, but what was it? Almost nothing takes longer than 5 years to develop. I bet they had an entire project that got into development and was cancelled, then they started something else before Prime took over
It likely wasn't coming to Gamecube. In all the material I've read, and the builds that Ive played (be sure to check my channel, thanks for citing me DYKG!), Ive only seen PS2, Xbox, and references to a PC version, no Gamecube.
The more I hear of how Microsoft destroyed a lot of Rare Projects for the GameCube the more I despise them. We’ve could’ve got so many more DK and Starfox games if Rare took on the helm of those series as well as Banjo being in Smash early as well as Conker somewhere down the line. The GameCube is a system very dear to me.
Skies Of Arcadia is one of my favorite games of all time so im very sad that it sold so badly and that the sequel was cancelled. I played Skies Of Arcadia all the time on my Dreamcast back in the day. Wish they could release it on the PS4 or PS5.
The Japanese version of the Zelda Ocarina Of Time Bonus Disc (A pre-order bonus for The Wind Waker) also contains a Dead Phoenix trailer, I've even made a video about the Trailer Selection in each versions although I didn't even know that Dead Phoenix was cancelled until I saw this video.
The NGC is the most underrated console of all time. While people already dumped their XBOX and PS2, the GameCube is still being played even until this day.
@@Jdudec367 Lol, it was one of the best selling consoles of all time, no way it's underrated, on the other hand the NGC was the lowest selling console of its generation.
I'd like to think Conker's sequel would've been renamed, if it'd ever come out, since the first game had a somewhat amusing (and probably intentional) abbreviation. BFD can also stand for "big f____ing deal."
From what I remember, there were articles for Kirby GCN, which featured a character known as Morpho Knight. Morpho Knight will then make an appearance in Kirby Star Allies, as a final boss in a game mode.
Did you know? Super Smash Bros Melee featured Fire Emblem characters Marth and Roy. And Charles Martinet played a character on an Xbox game but not credited due to his Italian accent
Let me preface this by saying I love and appreciate the work put into this video. But if you're going to title your video "Every Cancelled GameCube Game", then don't end the video with "Make sure you tune into part 2 of cancelled GameCube games."
I miss this era of gaming, I miss playing these nostalgic games for the first time, and I miss being a child with all the time in the world to sit down and play the crap out of a game. As an adult I have 8 hours, weekends only to really play games
Again, like the earlier video you did on N64 games, you should really be indicating what games the footage is from. 17:35 - You play footage from Pikmin while talking about E.T. with no indication that this is not the E.T. game. Anybody unfamiliar with Pikmin would be confused into believing that the footage was of the E.T. game. The N64 video was worse for this type of confusion because it was playing footage from more obscure games, but you can't assume that your audience will all be familiar with any reasonably successful game you play footage of here.
Are you counting games that came out in Japan and were planned for release elsewhere in the world before getting canceled? Because the rabid Panel de Pon superfan in me really wants to know if you've managed to dig up more information about Nintendo Puzzle Collection than I have. xD ...feel free to contact me for info if part 2 isn't too far from being done already? Lol. Anything to spread awareness of Panel de Pon. :p
SKIES OF ARCADIA!!! It's so sad that the game hasn't seen a sequel yet, and a shame that more people haven't gotten to play it. It is one of the best JRPG's ever made.
You're lucky because (mostly with the wii) it has become, one of the most cheapest Nintendo consoles out here ! (Beside for the official controllers and all the games on it...)
Wait, I remember that Galidor game. It was on, of all things, Gametap. It wasn't great, but you'd fight enemies and steal their parts to traverse standard platforming stuff. I remember one of the first things you fought were those frog dudes and you got their legs to high jump.
I was pretty hyped for the Battlebots game, and was sad to see it cancelled along with the show. I'm kinda hoping the Discovery Channel reboot would drum up interest for a new game.
I'd argue that Kirby Star Allies was Kirby GCN fully realized. Kirby Blowout Blast, while being a sub-game, is a simplification of Kirby 3D. Thr only one we haven't seen in some form is the pop-out book style.
I dont think it is. because star allies was only a 2D games, (that also runned only at 30fps...) compared to GCN, wich was a fully 2,5D, 3D games (made to runs only at 60fps!)
Something about hearing a cancelled Barbie adventure game being said to have been action packed whilst showing veautiful Joe in the background was amazing

@@GoodlyPenguin He was more Sony's de facto mascot. They never owned him, the PS1 was just easier and cheaper for Naughty Dog to develop compared to the Saturn and N64.
Did you know
Gamecube was criminally underrated and was one of my favourite consoles of all time.
No one cares
Makes me so sad that the Golden Sun game was cancelled :( I still want another game in the series! I would also love remakes for the first 2 :)
Somebody should attempt to recreate "crank the weasel" from the demo I'm sure me and many other fans of conker would love it.
That Skies of Arcadia one cuts me to the core. My fave JRPG full stop
One of the coolest fake-outs in Eternal Darkness is when it ends a chapter pretty early in the campaign, stops all the music and cuts to an image teasing an upcoming sequel.
An effective (scripted) sanity effect. But it sure would be cool if Eternal Darkness was a duology on the GCN. (Or maybe GCN and Wii.)
Lmao sometimes it feels like Retro is only there to cancel projects.
They haven't made anything since Tropical Freeze, right? That company is a complete blackbox with whatever they're doing
Feels bad man
Sure, now they're working on Prime 4, but between 2014 and 2019? Utter mystery
@@thekiss2083 They probably cancelled whatever they were working on as soon as they put their hands on Metroid Prime 4 lmao
@@MarkTaylorsVersion
Sure, but what was it? Almost nothing takes longer than 5 years to develop. I bet they had an entire project that got into development and was cancelled, then they started something else before Prime took over
@@thekiss2083 Maybe that Star Fox Racing game everyone was talking about back then? But I guess we'll never know haha
A St. Anger era Metallica game canceled. That makes me actually sad :(
ew
i wonder if lars rode a car made out of drum snares in the game
It likely wasn't coming to Gamecube. In all the material I've read, and the builds that Ive played (be sure to check my channel, thanks for citing me DYKG!), Ive only seen PS2, Xbox, and references to a PC version, no Gamecube.
The game looks kinda like Vigilante 8, a good game btw
@@tylersinger2 Lol I'm a sucker for that album, everyone hates it but somehow I love it 🤪
did not expect to see Pokemon Gales of Darkness footage in this video, thanks for the nostalgia punch DYKG
The more I hear of how Microsoft destroyed a lot of Rare Projects for the GameCube the more I despise them. We’ve could’ve got so many more DK and Starfox games if Rare took on the helm of those series as well as Banjo being in Smash early as well as Conker somewhere down the line. The GameCube is a system very dear to me.
everything Microsoft did with Rare was despicable. They turned them into a fucking Kinect games studio ffs
To be fair, most of the talent in Rare left by that point, they were essentially just husk of their former selves.
Skies Of Arcadia is one of my favorite games of all time so im very sad that it sold so badly and that the sequel was cancelled.
I played Skies Of Arcadia all the time on my Dreamcast back in the day.
Wish they could release it on the PS4 or PS5.
DYKG: **talks about a Barbie game**
**Shows Killer 7**
The Japanese version of the Zelda Ocarina Of Time Bonus Disc (A pre-order bonus for The Wind Waker) also contains a Dead Phoenix trailer, I've even made a video about the Trailer Selection in each versions although I didn't even know that Dead Phoenix was cancelled until I saw this video.
This video breaks my heart. DKR looked soooo good!
Doesn't sound like I missed much. But it's always interesting to see what gets left on the cutting floor and just how much gets cancelled.
The NGC is the most underrated console of all time. While people already dumped their XBOX and PS2, the GameCube is still being played even until this day.
Yes Super Smash Bros Melee is still more played competitively than Ultimate .
Mario Sunshine and Mario Kart Double Dash have Lot of Speedrunners
I feel the wii is underrated. it also is a pretty good gamecube but that's besides the point
@@Jdudec367 Lol, it was one of the best selling consoles of all time, no way it's underrated, on the other hand the NGC was the lowest selling console of its generation.
@@El_Chuchuca Dreamcast was actually the lowest selling console in that generation. It's way more underrated.
Videos about cancelled products are always a massive tease!
I wish you'd caption what game the specific footage is from.
Send time frame and I might know.
I just meant in general.
Having Bionicle and Galidor stuff is giving me some major early 2000's Lego nostalgia.
Can relate !
I'd like to think Conker's sequel would've been renamed, if it'd ever come out, since the first game had a somewhat amusing (and probably intentional) abbreviation. BFD can also stand for "big f____ing deal."
From what I remember, there were articles for Kirby GCN, which featured a character known as Morpho Knight. Morpho Knight will then make an appearance in Kirby Star Allies, as a final boss in a game mode.
Skies of Arcadia sequel at 11:14.
I know that's why I clicked on it.
10:21 ah yes the song of my people. Pokémon Gale of Darkness was so good.
What song is it exactly
@@MegaSceptile99 The training simulator
There was also a canceled earthbound planned for the gamecube
I like watching a video 38 seconds after it’s uploaded.
Wow. A god
I prefer 18 minutes after
I'm just proud of you man, you've come a very long way for an autistic
@@jak3w aww thanks man
Did you know? Super Smash Bros Melee featured Fire Emblem characters Marth and Roy.
And Charles Martinet played a character on an Xbox game but not credited due to his Italian accent
He was in Mad Dash Racing, however it is unknown how he wasn't credited.
Let me preface this by saying I love and appreciate the work put into this video.
But if you're going to title your video "Every Cancelled GameCube Game", then don't end the video with "Make sure you tune into part 2 of cancelled GameCube games."
It still remains one of the best consoles ever made
thank you for adding in the kirby air ride background music! incredibly nostalgic! :)
Can relate !
I would have included the original GCN Kameo, since it was a drastically different game compared to the heavily cut Xbox 360 version.
I miss this era of gaming, I miss playing these nostalgic games for the first time, and I miss being a child with all the time in the world to sit down and play the crap out of a game. As an adult I have 8 hours, weekends only to really play games
I've never clicked on a DYKG video so fast
I DEMAND to know what happened to the Mobile Suit Gundam game that was listed on Nintendo Power's list of upcoming GameCube games for over a year.
Would have loved Conker 2 for gamecube, the first on n64 was amazing.
Again, like the earlier video you did on N64 games, you should really be indicating what games the footage is from. 17:35 - You play footage from Pikmin while talking about E.T. with no indication that this is not the E.T. game. Anybody unfamiliar with Pikmin would be confused into believing that the footage was of the E.T. game.
The N64 video was worse for this type of confusion because it was playing footage from more obscure games, but you can't assume that your audience will all be familiar with any reasonably successful game you play footage of here.
Are you counting games that came out in Japan and were planned for release elsewhere in the world before getting canceled? Because the rabid Panel de Pon superfan in me really wants to know if you've managed to dig up more information about Nintendo Puzzle Collection than I have. xD
...feel free to contact me for info if part 2 isn't too far from being done already? Lol. Anything to spread awareness of Panel de Pon. :p
For those who are totally gonna ask, the song at the end is Rumba of Love from Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness.
"Gizmondo exclusive" is never a good sign for a game.
16:38 Stans's House
Does anyone know the song at 22:41? I've heard it many times but don't know the source
Found it, Mach Rider from Super Smash Bros. Melee
@@Zarkonite Thank you!!
Stage Debut is one of the famous cancelled GameCube games with that one stage dance
Stage debut is pretty obscure tho. Personally...
SKIES OF ARCADIA!!! It's so sad that the game hasn't seen a sequel yet, and a shame that more people haven't gotten to play it. It is one of the best JRPG's ever made.
Turok: Evolution has a criminally underrated multiplayer!
@Nigel Lush but what if it actually was/is a good game, like Soulcalibur 2?
Agreed
Sigh, I wish I never sold my GameCube. I miss skies of Arcadia and beaten kaitos
You're lucky because (mostly with the wii) it has become, one of the most cheapest Nintendo consoles out here ! (Beside for the official controllers and all the games on it...)
Foulowe 59 very true but skies of Arcadia is SHOCKINGLY expensive, £80+ which is nuts 😥
How long did it take you to beat?
So. Many. Painful. Cancellations. Every mention of Rare makes my heart sink further.
Darkozl so sad
Wait, I remember that Galidor game. It was on, of all things, Gametap. It wasn't great, but you'd fight enemies and steal their parts to traverse standard platforming stuff. I remember one of the first things you fought were those frog dudes and you got their legs to high jump.
Excitement has consumed me.
There was almost a sequel to Skies of Arcadia?! At this point, I'd be up for another port of the original as I've just always loved that game!
I would love a Skies of Arcadia port for Switch
Odd that you didn't include Galidor with the other Lego games since it's also a Lego title.
Skies of Arcadia Legends an excellent RPG.
Whats the song at 22:42? I recognize it but can't place it, it sounds like its from Pokemon
Mach Rider - Melee
Its the mach rider themes, from smash bros melee !

I was pretty hyped for the Battlebots game, and was sad to see it cancelled along with the show. I'm kinda hoping the Discovery Channel reboot would drum up interest for a new game.
The cube was truly the best console of its generation
yep
I don't know more of it's games have definitely held up better than the xbox or ps2.
@matt No U
Before I even start watching the video, Donkey Kong Racing has got to be here! Rare being sold to Microsoft was a tragety :/
Rare X Microsoft is still a tragedy to this day!
Just look at what they did to Battletoads!
Banjo-Threeie was going to the GameCube anyway, It’s been a long time since it was cancelled. Imagine if Nintendo bought Rare....
What was that game that was being played in the background for the GI Joe Operation Ultra? Can't remember its name for the life of me.
Project P.2. 03 or just p2.03
Nintendo on GameCube: not level of quality we want to we won’t finish it
Nintendo on switch: *pokemon sword and shield graphics*
I mean they also delayed Metroid Prime 4 for quality reason. Plus Pokémon is more GameFreak issue.
Not defending Pokemon a *bit* , but to be fair it's more Gamefreak's fault than nintendo's.
Tremors the game being cancelled makes me incredibly sad
"Yooooooooooooooo."
I'd argue that Kirby Star Allies was Kirby GCN fully realized. Kirby Blowout Blast, while being a sub-game, is a simplification of Kirby 3D. Thr only one we haven't seen in some form is the pop-out book style.
I dont think it is. because star allies was only a 2D games, (that also runned only at 30fps...) compared to GCN, wich was a fully 2,5D, 3D games (made to runs only at 60fps!)
I want to say that KBR is the pop-out book style game because of the art direction of the game but I guess that is kind off a stretch
@@hydrorobot6610 but this game is in 3D and his artstyle is something like action 60s comics style...
Imagine if rare was bought by Nintendo
