Started collecting for the cube and I have fond memories of many gems for me xmen legends 2 , summoner , gladius and lost kingdoms, rayman 3 are all underrated gems
Nice! X-Men Legends 2 is a good one for sure, and agree that Summoner 2 and Lost Kingdoms are hidden gems (Summoner 2 I actually covered in my “GameCube Games NO ONE Talks About” episode, and Lost Kingdoms in my “Top 10 Hidden Gems for the GameCube” 👍). Rayman 3 is one I still need to play though! Thanks for checking out the video!
These all look outstanding. Not only do these all hold up graphically 20+ years later but they just seem more fun than most modern games. Thanks for shedding light on these. Excellent job buddy!
Thanks man! I can confidently say these are more fun than most modern games...then again, I will still always say the 6th generation was the greatest gaming generation. Glad you enjoyed the list, and appreciate you checking it out!
Sphynx was one of my favorite gamecube games growing up. It's shocking that it doesn't get the recognition it deserves. A true hidden gem, thank you for bringing light to it.
It really is a shame Sphinx doesn’t get the recognition it deserves. Even with the Switch remaster, it still failed to garner a bigger following. Here’s hoping those who watch this episode are intrigued to give it a chance! Thanks for checking out the video!
I’m very disappointed that Mary Kate & Ashley Sweet 16 Licensed to Drive didn’t make the list, but surely it’s because you’re saving that gem for a future (at minimum 45 minute) documentary video detailing the revolutionary mechanics and deep story telling the game has to offer.
So “Thirteen” for the win in this showcase! I cannot believe I didn’t play this back in the day. What a visual beauty due to the unique style. Watching it now, I assumed it was a modern comic cell-shaded game. Awesome find.
This is the best GameCube channel ever! Creators content, is far superior to my own, and I have studied the game cube extensively for 20 years. I love this channel.
I am beyond humbled by this statement. Truly means a lot hearing the high praise for the content! Thank you for the awesome words, and support for the channel!
Talk about an awesome time to watch this video! I am mulling over an opportunity to pick up Cel Damage 4:07 plus Extreme G3 for a fair price. Now I think I should grab both CIB plus a couple GameCube controllers just for the multiplayer.
I've heard of a few of these [least of all Kao the Kangaroo because I'm in Australia]. I had played XIII, but only a bit of multiplayer with friends back in the day. Also, happy new year.
Kao the Kangaroo is a really cool one, and I’m more intrigued to get the new installment that released recently. Awesome about XIII! I’ll need to try that in multiplayer with some friends as well. Happy New Year man! Hope all is well, and greatly appreciate you checking out the video!
My latest memory of the gamecube had to be when i wld wake up to my older brother ( which had to be around 13 making me 5-6 years old ) im currently 22 . I wld wake up to my brother playing games like def jam vendetta , yu-gi-oh , dbz , Naruto. Etc i wld always fight w him to play next now that im older i been collecting games n got myself a system and reliving memories yea some games are pricey but man the feeling i get when i play these games 2-3 hours .... miss the old times
I'm just in the process of loading up an sd card for my GCloader when this video popped up. I'm going back to see the previous three vids now. Thanks a lot for your suggestions, I would have missed out on some games otherwise ;)
Your Hidden Gems/Underrated series is easily my favorite on your channel! There are so many unique games on the GameCube that go under the radar. I'll keep a lookout for Smashing Drive, Kao the Kangaroo (literally sounds like and reminds me of the first Jak & Daxter game), Slug Fest 2004, and Red Card 2003 for my collection. Excellent video!!!
Thank you man, I greatly appreciate that! Glad you discovered some more games to pickup! I will say, Redcard 20-03 is definitely a rare one to come across, so nab it if you see it! Also, glad you also felt Kao the Kangaroo reminded you of the first Jak & Daxter! Thanks again for checking out the video man!!
Just subscribed. Great content man 👍🏼 I loved slugfest 2004! We need sports games to be like this again! Cel damage & thirteen look amazing. Devs need to see how impactful certain aspects are in games. Animations, feedback gameplay mechanics, unique game modes, playing offline against bots, physics like effects, damage effects, artistic design style is much more important than graphics ever will be.
Thanks for subscribing man! I really love when sports games were over-the-top, and just plain fun like Slugfest and Redcard. Agreed, devs need to reference back to these days to understand what made gaming far more creative and memorable. Style is a massive part of the 6th generation appeal 👍. Really glad you’re enjoying the content, and thanks for checking out the video!
The fact that they just announced that PS and X box games will be about 100$ now is even more reason to check out these gems.. I just got bunch of games I never played before thanks to your channel and they're all fun so far 👍
Thanks man! Really appreciate you checking out the video! Now that I was able to wrap this one up for today, I can finally kick back and catch up on your last 2 videos I’ve had queued to watch for the past 2 weeks 🤣.
Excellent List! I too can endorse Smashing Drive. Such a great game I discovered about a year ago. It's hard to find true hidden gems on the gamecube because the Library is so small. Three more worth a look if you haven't already: -Extreme-G Racing Association (Feels more like the true sequel to the N64s Extreme-G I and II. More focus on combat. Extreme-G III on the gamecube felt more like a streamlined wipeout clone. The stage design in Racing Association is AAA.) Edit: I see you already covered this game in your past videos. Thumbs up! -Robotech Battlecry (Cel-Shaded Mechs) -Smuggler's Run Warzones (gamecube exclusive "remaster" of Smuggler's Run 2 on PS2)
Glad you enjoyed the list, and that you also agree about Smashing Drive! As for the other games, I've got you covered! XGRA was actually featured in this hidden gems episode: ruclips.net/video/5ABjWIqtRbM/видео.htmlsi=eJY_7Mr0ykV13B14 Robotech: Battlecry I feature in this Top 10 Licensed Games episode: ruclips.net/video/376Hkhlq_ns/видео.htmlsi=DoUI9Xqa_gVIgGbD And Smuggler's Run Warzones is featured in this Top 10 Hidden Gems episode: ruclips.net/video/nI9PuCjkaog/видео.htmlsi=QthqwRVFqr5lDIg3 Hope you enjoy those, and thanks again for checking out this video man!
Thank you man! Yeah, I really try to highlight far lesser known “hidden gems” than the usual expectations 👍. Thanks for checking out the video, and highlighting that quality about the video!
Thank you man! Greatly appreciate the feedback! Funny enough, I was starting to debate if people notice if there's chapters or not within videos. Definitely something I'll consider moving forward! Thanks again for checking out the video!
I thought I played everything that was worthwile on the gamecube, yet this video made me discover a few I never knew about (defender and red card) ! Thanks a lot for this !
Awesome video. XIII, Sphynx and the Cursed Mummy, Bomberman Jetters and Blood Omen 2 are definitely added to my list of games to acquire. The over-the-top sports games look fun as well.
I’ve definitely have to give Defender another crack at. Have had it since my childhood and got into some of it before but never as of my adulthood. An awesome list and another awesome video to inform people again why the GameCube is such an underrated console! Great work again marcello as always !
Thanks for the Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy! I’m from Kazakhstan, but even here this game has a fan! I’ve it in my GameCube collection, also bought it for the Switch and Steam. Awesome classic game!
Oh wow! Glad to hear it man! Appreciate you sharing that even in Kazakhstan, there are GameCube fans! Sphinx is such a great game, and one that truly needs to be experienced by more people 👍. Thanks for checking out the video!!
Mario, Another great GC video. You are my ONLY authority when it comes to searching out games to purchase physical copies. One game that (if memory serves correct) that was only ever covered on one of your Licensed Games videos which deserves 'Hidden Gem' recognition is The Italian Job. Since learning about it from you, I have sunk countless hours with both the Traditional gameplay and (even more so) commandeering Stunt Driving section. I'm certainly looking forward to more videos like this!
Thank you man! That truly means a lot! As for The Italian Job, I've got you covered here in this episode about it! ruclips.net/video/IOZz27grmMA/видео.htmlsi=PVJRzATfBSn4kCMR
I miss the Midway sports games!! The GameCube was the first console I played that really got me into playing games other than just sports games (RE4, MGSTS, LoZWW)…but funny enough, I initially wanted a gamecube BECAUSE OF a sports game. A friend brought over his GC with NHL Hitz 2002 and we played it all night…. so I wanted a gamecube specifically for Hitz 02! Now I gotta check out Slugfest and Redcard! So many good GC games, it’s hard to keep up
That’s an awesome story to share, and glad you got the GameCube based on that! NHL Hitz 20-02 is one of the best sports games on the GameCube, hands down! Hope you’re able to add Slugfest and Redcard to your collection! Thanks for checking out the video!
It's weird how much graphical performance developers were able to squeeze out of the GameCube. Greatest console ever, with the greatest controller ever!
I don't know...I have so many overlooked games - Pro Rally and Tube Slider for racers, Aggressive Inline, the Street series, World Series of Poker 2005, Serious Sam: Next Encounter, Roadkill, Summoner: A Goddess Reborn, Darkened Skye, Geist, Bloody Roar Primal Fury, etc.
A lot of hidden gems mentioned! I actually covered most of these across other “Hidden Gems” and “No One Talks About” episodes 👍. I never tried World Series of Poker 2005 yet though! Thanks for checking out the video!
Gotta gush about XIII a little lol. Hands down my second favorite fps of that generation. Timespliters both 2 and 3 got first place anyways XIII stands out because of its own original take on fps genre. The Story was too hard for me when I was younger, so I played multiplayer with bots for most of my playthrough at the time. There is a couple different game modes and a decent select number of maps they do differ by the number of players per map but don't let that dismay you all the maps are great. Good selection of weapons and hidden spots to find. Coming back as a adult and finally finishing the story this is a 9/10 still for me. Great Video bud thanks.
XIII really is a game that is heavily underrated, and glad to hear the multiplayer is really great also! While TimeSplitters 2 and Future Perfect are among the best FPSs available on the GameCube, XIII is a banger for sure. Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your experience with that game!
An amazing list! The Bomberman games don't get enough love, they're very fun. And I have been waiting for you to add Blood Omen 2 to the list! At this point you've mentioned every hidden gem I can think of, did you talk about Virtua Quest? I think I'll start looking for copies of Smashin Drive and Defender. Thank you as always!
Thank you man! Yeah, the Bomberman games really do deserve a bit more love for sure. Blood Omen 2 is one I’ve been wanting to try out and cover for sometime, and man I was hooked when I was playing it for this episode lol. I actually did cover Virtua Quest in my “MORE Hidden Gems on the GameCube” episode (which I’ll link below) 👍. Definitely nab Smashing Drive and Defender, as they’re both relatively cheap! Thanks again for checking out the video, and glad you really enjoyed it!
Heck yeah man! It’s definitely one that flew under the radar (pun intended lol), and felt needed some more recognition. Thanks for checking out the video!
100%! I couldn’t put it down when I was capturing footage for this episode. Definitely one I want to finish, and maybe do a review for around Halloween time. Thanks for checking out the video!
Smashing Drive looks like pure, insane fun! Glad you enjoyed Kao! Nobody talks about that game I am so glad Cel Damage got a Switch port! Hope it sold well Haha now MLB Slugfest looks like a Baseball game id acually play 🤣 Redcard is yet another game i'd play, I don't like realistic sports games they bore me to no end, but Arcade sports games I typically love! Defender looks pretty good! You already know I love me some XIII! I just recently found out the graphic novel has a live action movie adaptation although I am not sure if it is good. A Sphinx, one of my favorite GC hidden gems and another one I am happy got a Switch remaster! I played one of the Bomberman games but I THINK it was Generations. Blood Omen 2 looks AWESOME dude! Fantastic list of gamea brotha and amazing video as usual
Dude, glad a lot of these resonated with you, and caught your attention to check out! Greatly appreciate you checking out the video man, and hope you get a chance to try some of these!
I actually just picked up a copy of sphinx can’t wait to jump into it when I get a chance not too big on modern sports games but I’m gonna have to give slugfest a try as well as smashing drive
Nice! Sphinx is SO good and hope you enjoy it! Slugfest is an absolute blast, as is Smashing Drive (which is quite cheap still too 👍). Thanks for checking out the video man!
Thank you man! Glad you enjoyed the picks, and agree that so many GC games never got the love they deserved! Really appreciate you checking out the video!
Sorry I can't remember if you've done these games already, but Ty the Tasmanian Tiger trilogy are well worth a look, although they move further away from platforming as they go, much like the Jak & Daxter Trilogy.
I haven't covered those yet actually, but plan to in the near future! It's definitely a trilogy I've been wanting to play and cover. Thanks for checking in on those, and for checking out the video!
Thanks for this list, had a lot of stuff I hadn't seen on other list while looking for more games to get. And the explanations brief but just enough to give me and idea of if I'd like it.
Glad you discovered some games from this list, and liked the duration of each game covered. I figured with these episodes, I try to give a brief overview of my time with it, and save the in-depth breakdowns if I choose to review certain titles. Thanks again for checking out the video!
Both easily hidden gems and excellent choices!! I actually covered them in my “Top 10 Hidden Gems” and “MORE Hidden Gems” episodes 👍. I’m hoping to do in-depth reviews for each of them one day on the channel as well. Thanks for checking out the video!
Smashing Drive is one I'd like to eventually get into my collection. I've had it in my hand a few times just haven't pulled the trigger. Looks like stupid fun haha. Kao the Kangaroo reminds me of that terrible movie from the early 2000s... I can't think of the name but that automatically makes me think poorly of this game. Thankfully this game looks really fun! Even cooler there is a new installment on current gens. Cel Damage I believe I might have on the Xbox... it looks good and I like the cel-shading. Four player mode would be awesome. MLB Slugfest would be a lot of fun, I've never played that series but did enjoy the NFL Xtreme series. (Not Blitz). Sadly, my beloved team the Cleveland Indians were deemed too offensive and were renamed, so I've quit watching baseball. Bummer because I loved the sport. This would be a fun game to relive that era. Those unique stadiums look rad. I don't think I've even heard of RedCard. Interesting... I see Defender all the time and it's like $5. I've never picked it up though because it's so cheap I just assumed something was wrong with it. It looks really good though. XIII is one that I had a demo of. I thought it was fun as a kid, but haven't played it since. I heard the remake was terrible. I have a few of the Sphinx games on Xbox I believe. I've always been curious on it, seems like a solid game. The Tut torture seems like clever puzzle solving. I've never heard of Bomberman Jetters, that's pretty cool. Blood Omen is one i need to get into. I know there are games that are related to it, I remember the ads in my PlayStation Magazine. I thought the cover was rad. Great video GCG, I discovered a few new games!
Oh man, Smashing Drive is definitely worth it if you can get it. Is Kangaroo Jack the movie you're referring to about Kao? It's quite a fun game in all seriousness though. Cel Damage is one I can see you enjoying, especially the humor in it. MLB Slugfest is EASILY a game you need to play! Yeah, I can't stand the team name changes that have happened for various sports recently. Highly unnecessary. Defender is very much worth $5 lol. XIII is a game I had also played to the demo to back in the day, and wish I actually picked it up back then after playing it more recently. Glad you enjoyed the video man, and that you discovered a few new games!
I googled cell damage and defender and they were released for the xbox and ps2 too most games were releasedfor the three consoles: Cel Damage is a vehicular combat video game developed by Pseudo Interactive and published by Electronic Arts. The game was first released for Xbox on 14 November 2001, and for GameCube on 7 January 2002, in North America respectively. In Europe, the game launched for both consoles on 3 May 2002. A Europe-exclusive PlayStation 2 port, titled Cel Damage Overdrive, was released as a budget title by System 3 under their Play It label on 12 December 2002.
I discovered Smashing Drive only like a year ago, as it was not never released on Europe. -It's freaking Amazing! I've not had so much fun ever since Cruis 'n World! XBOX -version is also without any loading times (just to mention for those who has not NGC).
It really is such a good game! I love arcade racers like this, and wish we could have access to more of them, even in today’s climate in gaming. The GameCube version also has no loading times for the record, but glad the Xbox version fares the same! Thanks for checking out the video!
Well technically the only Gamecube game in the video is Bomberman, the rest are just multiplat games. And yes Bomberman is pretty much underrated in most consoles.
@@GameCubeGalaxy Yeah, actually I did know about cel damage, XIII, and Blood Omen. But I didn't know Kao was good, or Sphynx, or Smashing drive. The Gamecube really seems to me like the sweet spot for videogames history, in which the technology was there, and the fun and passion and creative design philosophies came together, right before gaming became truly mainstream and completely changed forever. And your channel is great for finding great underrated games! Keep it up!
The GameCube (and 6th gen consoles) really were the sweet spot of gaming. The creativity was through the roof, and so many sublime experiences. Really means a lot hearing you’re enjoying the channel!
That’s what I heard about the HD version, and many complained about. I can see how that detracts from the chaos the original provides. I wish I played this one back in the day, cause I would’ve seen that being a multiplayer favorite for sure. Thanks for checking out the video!
Wow you went deep in this one. I have never played any of these games. Currently downloading them to my Swiss MicroSD card. Great video as always, keep up the good work. My go to for all GameCube content.
Thank you man! Glad you discovered some games to nab and play! Greatly appreciate the support for the channel, and thanks again for checking out the video!
Well, sure. The GameCube and SEGA Saturn are my main collecting focus. They're definitely the consoles for which I have the most games, at least 60+ for each, at last count. Been awhile since I actually got a solid count, though.
Nice list of games! And as always, there are some games that I added to my wishlist after watching your vids lol! From this one I will need to look at Red Card as I love arcade sports games! I knew about Slugfest but a soccer one? Sign me up! XIII looks interesting as well so if the one on modern platform is not broken, I will probably get it there! Blood Omen 2 is one that I've never played but I will probably get it on Xbox as it will probably be cheaper! Great video and keep up the work!
Thanks, Dan! Glad you found some more games to get! Redcard 20-03 seems to be a popular find for several watching this episode, and glad I could highlight it! XIII sounds like it fixed up heavily with the latest version on current consoles, so it may be worth checking out there. Blood Omen 2 is so good, and may be good to get on Xbox if it’s cheaper! Thanks again for the support man, and glad you enjoyed the video!
I was working at Nintendo during the GameCube era and Redcard was second only to Mario Kart as my favorite game to play during lunch break. It's well worth checking out.
@@ralphdailey9503 Oh wow, that's awesome! That's really cool to hear this was one you played on lunch break while working there. Thanks for sharing that, and for checking out the video!
Thank you man! Yeah I try to avoid the “known” hidden gems. Stuff like that I would typically cover in a “GameCube Exclusives” episode, but I want “hidden gems” to be those lesser known ones. Glad you noticed that, and appreciate you checking out the video!
I acually picked up XIII recently for 5$ which was a steal and it runs really well i also have blood omen 2 and it's dirt cheap to buy dependimg on what you are looking for.
Oh awesome man! $5 is a steal of a price for sure! Blood Omen 2 is really good too, but I think the GC version is the priciest one if I’m not mistaken (still in a reasonable price range though). Thanks again for checking out the video!
Always regret bowing out of Nintendo as the GameCube arrived. Was faithful through N64 then switched to the PlayStation and never got a Nintendo device afterwards.
A lot of people jumped off Nintendo when the GameCube arrived sadly, but I could see why. At the time, the PS2 was already out a year, and having DVD playback was an enticing aspect. Thanks for checking out the video!
It is, and I forgot to mention the HD version. However, I've heard the HD version wasn't as good, and several aspects were changed for the worse supposedly. That being said, I felt it was still good to highlight considering this was the game's inception. Thanks for checking out the video!
Sphinx seems great. You can play it on Xbox One and Series X/S although sadly they removed it from the Xbox Store so unless they bought it beforehand then Xbox One S All-Digital and Xbox Series S gamers can't play it. Also the game is ported to PC and Switch as well. I'm guessing why they delisted the Xbox version because I heard rumors that they might port it to PS4/5 and Xbox One/Series, but that hasn't happened yet and in my opinion ports for newer PlayStations and Xboxes are overdue.
Sphinx is such a great game, and it’s a shame it never got the recognition it deserved. Also, that’s the perfect point to why a digital-only storefront is a disaster. Luckily it’s still available digitally for Switch, and you can still find physical copies on Switch as well. Thanks for checking out the video man!
News: I am saving up for a Steam Deck for one reason. Emulating games. I am gonna emulate GameCube, PS1, PS2, PSP, N64, NES, SNES, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Master System, Genesis, Sega CD CD, 32X, Saturn, Dreamcast and Game Gear. I may dabble into Turbo Grafx and some Ataris and maybe 3DO as well. Those systems will give me more than enough gaming. Literally I was drooling because of all the potential games I could play on it.@@GameCubeGalaxy
I love when multiplayer games have bots incorporated. Good to know, and I’ll need to dive more into this game for a full review one day! Thanks for checking out the video!
Smashing Drive is a solid game. I played through it last month as my GameCube choice for my 14 console challenge. Cel damage I need to give some more time to. I played it for a bit to test the disc and I wasn't impressed.
Smashing Drive really is a blast, and always wanted more people to give that a try. Glad you checked it out last month! Cel Damage I was digging as a mindless Twisted Metal clone, but really liked the aesthetic and art direction. Once I got used to the handling, the game clicked more for me. Thanks for checking out the video man!
Thx, great list. I will try out 13 and the chaos car Game. I wounder how good the gamecube games are, never played it in my past. My fav game is yugioh falsbound kingdom with cheats 😁
Glad you enjoyed the list, and discovered some games to check out! I'll have to try YuGiOh but with the cheats haha. Thanks for checking out the video!
Nice! Yeah I was aware of that, and have it on there too actually, but never tried it yet lol. I meant to mention the HD version in the Cel Damage segment, but realized it after the video went live lol.
While not in this particular episode, I did have it in my "MORE Hidden Gems on the GameCube" episode (linked below)! Thanks for checking out the video! ruclips.net/video/sM2o21SaV4s/видео.htmlsi=vRVoKZcVIPV5B7Zn
Dont forget to mention scooby doo 100 frights, dead to rights, i ninja, xiii, ice age, tak and the power of juju, sphinx, geist, wario, all spongebob platforners IGNORE reviews of critics PLEASE
Luckily XIII and Sphinx are mentioned in this episode, and I've actually covered a few others here in other episodes are recommendations or hidden gems! I actually did in-depth reviews for Geist and Wario World if interested too! Thanks for checking out the video!
Cel Damage is definitely a fun one! I haven't tried Scorpion King on the GameCube yet, but plan to try and cover it in a new "licensed-based" games video soon!
I absolutely love this channel man! Spitting lots of knowledge in every video. I love playing the gamecube with my son and I'll definitely check out that Kao game out. Also interested in trying that Redcard game since I love football. Keep up the good work my man 💪
Thank you man! That really means a lot to hear! The Kao game is definitely a game you can enjoy with your son taking turns playing it. Also, glad that Redcard caught your attention, as it's a blast! Thanks again for checking out the video!
Probably better off getting the PAL version, or waiting for another publisher to release it in the US, since LRG games have been getting other publishers to release games to the general public lol.
If you don't mind me asking, and forgive me if I'm mistaken, but, why do you use emulation for the game footage in your videos instead of direct capture from original hardware?
Everything you see in gameplay is 100% direct capture from original hardware since I started the channel day 1. I even state that in the description of every video, sharing what I’m using to capture the footage. Hope this clarifies things a bit!
@GameCubeGalaxy my apologies. I guess the mClassic is what was throwing me off since the footage looked better than what I've personally experienced with my gamecube using an EON HDMI adapter. Sorry for not noticing the notes in the video description. Thank you for the information. Good to know that Gamecube games can look this good with a bit of effort.
While Twilight Princess is a great game, there are better games for the console in my opinion. The best GC game would probably go to Resident Evil 4 for me.
So id like to know if im hearing a voice coming from a fellow millennial who twuz blessed by the God of graphical games and of all times in existence chose us as recipients that experienced gaming at the time it was getting its momentum on its way to the monster money maker of today. To be young enough the nes was in its last days and see every step from then as it absolutely amazed with each step forward with not just amazing graphics but technical advancements in game mechanics with the experience of creators now able to push the limits of what they know and not be learning how the code is working for a system. When people say they wish they were born earlier or later so they were able to be something different was a saying i thought id agree with till i realized i got the best life for someone who claims they love game's more than anyrhing else in life.
🤡Sorry, but Smashing Drive is not a hidden gem. Nope, can't let you have that one. There are well over 300 GC games worth downloading, but this arcade port isn't one of them.🤡
There are still many who have nostalgia for the GameCube, and the console has actually never been more popular as of late. It’s more a case of living this nostalgia amongst fans of the console, whether old or new, while providing high-quality content that the console deserves. I also always had a passion for the GameCube, so this channel is a passion project for me. I could cover “all Nintendo” but then I’d be no different than a lot of other channels that do the same (many of which do it very well too). Hope that clarifies a bit why I focus on the GameCube!
Started collecting for the cube and I have fond memories of many gems for me xmen legends 2 , summoner , gladius and lost kingdoms, rayman 3 are all underrated gems
Nice! X-Men Legends 2 is a good one for sure, and agree that Summoner 2 and Lost Kingdoms are hidden gems (Summoner 2 I actually covered in my “GameCube Games NO ONE Talks About” episode, and Lost Kingdoms in my “Top 10 Hidden Gems for the GameCube” 👍). Rayman 3 is one I still need to play though! Thanks for checking out the video!
@@GameCubeGalaxy no worries thank you for providing excellent GameCube content 😄
Lost Kingdoms 2 is even better!
Need to get Gladius next for my GameCube. I had it for Xbox and it wouldn’t work on my 360. Looked great
These all look outstanding. Not only do these all hold up graphically 20+ years later but they just seem more fun than most modern games. Thanks for shedding light on these. Excellent job buddy!
Thanks man! I can confidently say these are more fun than most modern games...then again, I will still always say the 6th generation was the greatest gaming generation. Glad you enjoyed the list, and appreciate you checking it out!
Totally! Back when games had imagination and didn’t need to be just ultra realistic
Sphynx was one of my favorite gamecube games growing up. It's shocking that it doesn't get the recognition it deserves. A true hidden gem, thank you for bringing light to it.
It really is a shame Sphinx doesn’t get the recognition it deserves. Even with the Switch remaster, it still failed to garner a bigger following. Here’s hoping those who watch this episode are intrigued to give it a chance! Thanks for checking out the video!
Yes agreed 💯 such a hidden gem for sure
@@GameCubeGalaxyfacts
I played through a bunch of it and really enjoyed it!
I’m very disappointed that Mary Kate & Ashley Sweet 16 Licensed to Drive didn’t make the list, but surely it’s because you’re saving that gem for a future (at minimum 45 minute) documentary video detailing the revolutionary mechanics and deep story telling the game has to offer.
Lmao!! Indeed…that is being saved for another episode, sadly 🤣. Thanks for checking out the video man!
So “Thirteen” for the win in this showcase! I cannot believe I didn’t play this back in the day. What a visual beauty due to the unique style. Watching it now, I assumed it was a modern comic cell-shaded game. Awesome find.
I HIGHLY recommend it! It’s definitely a game you’d like man! Thanks for checking out the video!
Voice acted by David Duchovny
I thought this game was terrible but then gave it another chance when Matt was recommending it. Pretty fun!
This is the best GameCube channel ever! Creators content, is far superior to my own, and I have studied the game cube extensively for 20 years. I love this channel.
I am beyond humbled by this statement. Truly means a lot hearing the high praise for the content! Thank you for the awesome words, and support for the channel!
Happy to see some of my personal favourite showcased here (won't name names as not to spoil anyone watching for the first time). Great job!
Glad to hear it man! DM me on X or IG to let me know those personal favorite picks you’re referencing! Thanks for checking out the video!
Talk about an awesome time to watch this video! I am mulling over an opportunity to pick up Cel Damage 4:07 plus Extreme G3 for a fair price. Now I think I should grab both CIB plus a couple GameCube controllers just for the multiplayer.
Oh that's awesome! Cel Damage is definitely a blast, and Extreme-G 3 is an essential for the console! Thanks for checking out the video!
I've heard of a few of these [least of all Kao the Kangaroo because I'm in Australia]. I had played XIII, but only a bit of multiplayer with friends back in the day.
Also, happy new year.
Kao the Kangaroo is a really cool one, and I’m more intrigued to get the new installment that released recently. Awesome about XIII! I’ll need to try that in multiplayer with some friends as well. Happy New Year man! Hope all is well, and greatly appreciate you checking out the video!
My latest memory of the gamecube had to be when i wld wake up to my older brother ( which had to be around 13 making me 5-6 years old ) im currently 22 . I wld wake up to my brother playing games like def jam vendetta , yu-gi-oh , dbz , Naruto. Etc i wld always fight w him to play next now that im older i been collecting games n got myself a system and reliving memories yea some games are pricey but man the feeling i get when i play these games 2-3 hours .... miss the old times
That's an awesome memory to have, and glad you're collecting these games again to relive that nostalgia! Thanks for checking out the video man!
I'm just in the process of loading up an sd card for my GCloader when this video popped up. I'm going back to see the previous three vids now. Thanks a lot for your suggestions, I would have missed out on some games otherwise ;)
Oh awesome! Hope you discover some more gems to add to your GCLoader as you catch up on those videos (as well as any others on the channel)!
Your Hidden Gems/Underrated series is easily my favorite on your channel! There are so many unique games on the GameCube that go under the radar. I'll keep a lookout for Smashing Drive, Kao the Kangaroo (literally sounds like and reminds me of the first Jak & Daxter game), Slug Fest 2004, and Red Card 2003 for my collection. Excellent video!!!
Thank you man, I greatly appreciate that! Glad you discovered some more games to pickup! I will say, Redcard 20-03 is definitely a rare one to come across, so nab it if you see it! Also, glad you also felt Kao the Kangaroo reminded you of the first Jak & Daxter! Thanks again for checking out the video man!!
Just subscribed. Great content man 👍🏼 I loved slugfest 2004! We need sports games to be like this again! Cel damage & thirteen look amazing. Devs need to see how impactful certain aspects are in games. Animations, feedback gameplay mechanics, unique game modes, playing offline against bots, physics like effects, damage effects, artistic design style is much more important than graphics ever will be.
Thanks for subscribing man! I really love when sports games were over-the-top, and just plain fun like Slugfest and Redcard. Agreed, devs need to reference back to these days to understand what made gaming far more creative and memorable. Style is a massive part of the 6th generation appeal 👍. Really glad you’re enjoying the content, and thanks for checking out the video!
The fact that they just announced that PS and X box games will be about 100$ now is even more reason to check out these gems.. I just got bunch of games I never played before thanks to your channel and they're all fun so far 👍
For sure! Glad you found several games to nab from the channel! Thanks for checking out the video man!
Didn't recognize any of them but they certainly looked amazing!!! Great video
Glad you discovered more games through this video, and that they caught your interest! Thanks for checking out the video!
Some solid picks here man!
Thanks man! Really appreciate you checking out the video! Now that I was able to wrap this one up for today, I can finally kick back and catch up on your last 2 videos I’ve had queued to watch for the past 2 weeks 🤣.
Excellent List! I too can endorse Smashing Drive. Such a great game I discovered about a year ago. It's hard to find true hidden gems on the gamecube because the Library is so small. Three more worth a look if you haven't already:
-Extreme-G Racing Association (Feels more like the true sequel to the N64s Extreme-G I and II. More focus on combat. Extreme-G III on the gamecube felt more like a streamlined wipeout clone. The stage design in Racing Association is AAA.) Edit: I see you already covered this game in your past videos. Thumbs up!
-Robotech Battlecry (Cel-Shaded Mechs)
-Smuggler's Run Warzones (gamecube exclusive "remaster" of Smuggler's Run 2 on PS2)
Glad you enjoyed the list, and that you also agree about Smashing Drive! As for the other games, I've got you covered!
XGRA was actually featured in this hidden gems episode: ruclips.net/video/5ABjWIqtRbM/видео.htmlsi=eJY_7Mr0ykV13B14
Robotech: Battlecry I feature in this Top 10 Licensed Games episode: ruclips.net/video/376Hkhlq_ns/видео.htmlsi=DoUI9Xqa_gVIgGbD
And Smuggler's Run Warzones is featured in this Top 10 Hidden Gems episode: ruclips.net/video/nI9PuCjkaog/видео.htmlsi=QthqwRVFqr5lDIg3
Hope you enjoy those, and thanks again for checking out this video man!
There are a lot of “hidden gems” GameCube videos that all reference the same games. Your video however, I have not heard of most of these. Good job
Thank you man! Yeah, I really try to highlight far lesser known “hidden gems” than the usual expectations 👍. Thanks for checking out the video, and highlighting that quality about the video!
The pace, script and delivery are great here. If anything, I'd suggest including chapters for navigation.
Thank you man! Greatly appreciate the feedback! Funny enough, I was starting to debate if people notice if there's chapters or not within videos. Definitely something I'll consider moving forward! Thanks again for checking out the video!
I thought I played everything that was worthwile on the gamecube, yet this video made me discover a few I never knew about (defender and red card) ! Thanks a lot for this !
Glad to hear you discovered some new titles to check out on the GameCube! Thanks for checking out the video!
Awesome video. XIII, Sphynx and the Cursed Mummy, Bomberman Jetters and Blood Omen 2 are definitely added to my list of games to acquire. The over-the-top sports games look fun as well.
Thank you man! Glad you found some more games to add to your list to pickup! 👍
I’ve definitely have to give Defender another crack at. Have had it since my childhood and got into some of it before but never as of my adulthood. An awesome list and another awesome video to inform people again why the GameCube is such an underrated console! Great work again marcello as always !
Defender is definitely worth revisiting, and is just plain fun. Glad you enjoyed the video man, and always appreciate your support for the channel!!
Thanks for the Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy! I’m from Kazakhstan, but even here this game has a fan! I’ve it in my GameCube collection, also bought it for the Switch and Steam. Awesome classic game!
Oh wow! Glad to hear it man! Appreciate you sharing that even in Kazakhstan, there are GameCube fans! Sphinx is such a great game, and one that truly needs to be experienced by more people 👍. Thanks for checking out the video!!
Mario,
Another great GC video. You are my ONLY authority when it comes to searching out games to purchase physical copies. One game that (if memory serves correct) that was only ever covered on one of your Licensed Games videos which deserves 'Hidden Gem' recognition is The Italian Job. Since learning about it from you, I have sunk countless hours with both the Traditional gameplay and (even more so) commandeering Stunt Driving section.
I'm certainly looking forward to more videos like this!
Thank you man! That truly means a lot! As for The Italian Job, I've got you covered here in this episode about it!
ruclips.net/video/IOZz27grmMA/видео.htmlsi=PVJRzATfBSn4kCMR
I miss the Midway sports games!! The GameCube was the first console I played that really got me into playing games other than just sports games (RE4, MGSTS, LoZWW)…but funny enough, I initially wanted a gamecube BECAUSE OF a sports game. A friend brought over his GC with NHL Hitz 2002 and we played it all night…. so I wanted a gamecube specifically for Hitz 02! Now I gotta check out Slugfest and Redcard! So many good GC games, it’s hard to keep up
That’s an awesome story to share, and glad you got the GameCube based on that! NHL Hitz 20-02 is one of the best sports games on the GameCube, hands down! Hope you’re able to add Slugfest and Redcard to your collection! Thanks for checking out the video!
Thanks for all your Hidden Gems and underrated Gamecube Games Videos! I already added a few to my list! Nice content!
Sure thing! Glad you're enjoying those videos, and found more games to add to your list!
It's weird how much graphical performance developers were able to squeeze out of the GameCube.
Greatest console ever, with the greatest controller ever!
I don't know...I have so many overlooked games - Pro Rally and Tube Slider for racers, Aggressive Inline, the Street series, World Series of Poker 2005, Serious Sam: Next Encounter, Roadkill, Summoner: A Goddess Reborn, Darkened Skye, Geist, Bloody Roar Primal Fury, etc.
A lot of hidden gems mentioned! I actually covered most of these across other “Hidden Gems” and “No One Talks About” episodes 👍. I never tried World Series of Poker 2005 yet though! Thanks for checking out the video!
Hannah got me Sphinx for the Switch for Xmas, but I had to return it (it was the PAL version). Definitely can’t wait to play it.
It's such a great game that deserves more attention! Hopefully you play that one soon, as it's very much worth it!
Gotta gush about XIII a little lol. Hands down my second favorite fps of that generation. Timespliters both 2 and 3 got first place anyways XIII stands out because of its own original take on fps genre. The Story was too hard for me when I was younger, so I played multiplayer with bots for most of my playthrough at the time. There is a couple different game modes and a decent select number of maps they do differ by the number of players per map but don't let that dismay you all the maps are great. Good selection of weapons and hidden spots to find. Coming back as a adult and finally finishing the story this is a 9/10 still for me. Great Video bud thanks.
XIII really is a game that is heavily underrated, and glad to hear the multiplayer is really great also! While TimeSplitters 2 and Future Perfect are among the best FPSs available on the GameCube, XIII is a banger for sure. Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your experience with that game!
i love the gamecube.
Always glad to hear of more GameCube fans! Thanks for checking out the video!
An amazing list! The Bomberman games don't get enough love, they're very fun. And I have been waiting for you to add Blood Omen 2 to the list! At this point you've mentioned every hidden gem I can think of, did you talk about Virtua Quest? I think I'll start looking for copies of Smashin Drive and Defender. Thank you as always!
Thank you man! Yeah, the Bomberman games really do deserve a bit more love for sure. Blood Omen 2 is one I’ve been wanting to try out and cover for sometime, and man I was hooked when I was playing it for this episode lol. I actually did cover Virtua Quest in my “MORE Hidden Gems on the GameCube” episode (which I’ll link below) 👍. Definitely nab Smashing Drive and Defender, as they’re both relatively cheap! Thanks again for checking out the video, and glad you really enjoyed it!
I agree we need more arcade sports games like the GameCube era had
Right on! Glad you agree! Thanks for checking out the video man!
XIII not getting a sequel is a travesty
It really is! Thanks for checking out the video!
Awesome I love Defender, such a cool unique gem.
Heck yeah man! It’s definitely one that flew under the radar (pun intended lol), and felt needed some more recognition. Thanks for checking out the video!
Blood Omen 2 is so good. It just oozes atmosphere.
100%! I couldn’t put it down when I was capturing footage for this episode. Definitely one I want to finish, and maybe do a review for around Halloween time. Thanks for checking out the video!
The GameCube is so cool and unique. Awesome games list!
Agreed! Thank you for checking out the video, and glad you enjoyed it man!
Dude great video! I remember a lot of these
Thanks, Tyler! Truly means a lot hearing you checked this out and enjoyed it! Glad you recall many of the games covered here 👍.
Smashing Drive looks like pure, insane fun!
Glad you enjoyed Kao! Nobody talks about that game
I am so glad Cel Damage got a Switch port! Hope it sold well
Haha now MLB Slugfest looks like a Baseball game id acually play 🤣
Redcard is yet another game i'd play, I don't like realistic sports games they bore me to no end, but Arcade sports games I typically love!
Defender looks pretty good!
You already know I love me some XIII! I just recently found out the graphic novel has a live action movie adaptation although I am not sure if it is good.
A Sphinx, one of my favorite GC hidden gems and another one I am happy got a Switch remaster!
I played one of the Bomberman games but I THINK it was Generations.
Blood Omen 2 looks AWESOME dude!
Fantastic list of gamea brotha and amazing video as usual
Dude, glad a lot of these resonated with you, and caught your attention to check out! Greatly appreciate you checking out the video man, and hope you get a chance to try some of these!
I actually just picked up a copy of sphinx can’t wait to jump into it when I get a chance not too big on modern sports games but I’m gonna have to give slugfest a try as well as smashing drive
Nice! Sphinx is SO good and hope you enjoy it! Slugfest is an absolute blast, as is Smashing Drive (which is quite cheap still too 👍). Thanks for checking out the video man!
Great picks! So many great games on the GameCube that never get the love they deserve and these are some of them!
Thank you man! Glad you enjoyed the picks, and agree that so many GC games never got the love they deserved! Really appreciate you checking out the video!
Sorry I can't remember if you've done these games already, but Ty the Tasmanian Tiger trilogy are well worth a look, although they move further away from platforming as they go, much like the Jak & Daxter Trilogy.
I haven't covered those yet actually, but plan to in the near future! It's definitely a trilogy I've been wanting to play and cover. Thanks for checking in on those, and for checking out the video!
Thanks for this list, had a lot of stuff I hadn't seen on other list while looking for more games to get. And the explanations brief but just enough to give me and idea of if I'd like it.
Glad you discovered some games from this list, and liked the duration of each game covered. I figured with these episodes, I try to give a brief overview of my time with it, and save the in-depth breakdowns if I choose to review certain titles. Thanks again for checking out the video!
Lost Kingdoms I&II my personal favourites
Both easily hidden gems and excellent choices!! I actually covered them in my “Top 10 Hidden Gems” and “MORE Hidden Gems” episodes 👍. I’m hoping to do in-depth reviews for each of them one day on the channel as well. Thanks for checking out the video!
I'll check those vids out King!@@GameCubeGalaxy
Kao 2 and Cel Damage in the same underrated GameCube game list? Sign me up!
Glad you're a fan of those! Thanks for checking out the video!
Some great games here. I really enjoyed Kao and I love the legacy of Kain series
For sure! Kao I was getting really into, and the Legacy of Kain series really is underappreciated. Thanks for checking out the video!
XIII is a game the grew on me overtime. I even got the platinum for the ps4 version.
Oh wow, that’s awesome you platinumed the remake on PS4! Thanks for checking out the video!
Smashing Drive is one I'd like to eventually get into my collection. I've had it in my hand a few times just haven't pulled the trigger. Looks like stupid fun haha. Kao the Kangaroo reminds me of that terrible movie from the early 2000s... I can't think of the name but that automatically makes me think poorly of this game. Thankfully this game looks really fun! Even cooler there is a new installment on current gens. Cel Damage I believe I might have on the Xbox... it looks good and I like the cel-shading. Four player mode would be awesome. MLB Slugfest would be a lot of fun, I've never played that series but did enjoy the NFL Xtreme series. (Not Blitz). Sadly, my beloved team the Cleveland Indians were deemed too offensive and were renamed, so I've quit watching baseball. Bummer because I loved the sport. This would be a fun game to relive that era. Those unique stadiums look rad. I don't think I've even heard of RedCard. Interesting... I see Defender all the time and it's like $5. I've never picked it up though because it's so cheap I just assumed something was wrong with it. It looks really good though. XIII is one that I had a demo of. I thought it was fun as a kid, but haven't played it since. I heard the remake was terrible. I have a few of the Sphinx games on Xbox I believe. I've always been curious on it, seems like a solid game. The Tut torture seems like clever puzzle solving. I've never heard of Bomberman Jetters, that's pretty cool. Blood Omen is one i need to get into. I know there are games that are related to it, I remember the ads in my PlayStation Magazine. I thought the cover was rad. Great video GCG, I discovered a few new games!
Oh man, Smashing Drive is definitely worth it if you can get it. Is Kangaroo Jack the movie you're referring to about Kao? It's quite a fun game in all seriousness though. Cel Damage is one I can see you enjoying, especially the humor in it. MLB Slugfest is EASILY a game you need to play! Yeah, I can't stand the team name changes that have happened for various sports recently. Highly unnecessary. Defender is very much worth $5 lol. XIII is a game I had also played to the demo to back in the day, and wish I actually picked it up back then after playing it more recently. Glad you enjoyed the video man, and that you discovered a few new games!
I googled cell damage and defender and they were released for the xbox and ps2 too most games were releasedfor the three consoles: Cel Damage is a vehicular combat video game developed by Pseudo Interactive and published by Electronic Arts. The game was first released for Xbox on 14 November 2001, and for GameCube on 7 January 2002, in North America respectively. In Europe, the game launched for both consoles on 3 May 2002. A Europe-exclusive PlayStation 2 port, titled Cel Damage Overdrive, was released as a budget title by System 3 under their Play It label on 12 December 2002.
I discovered Smashing Drive only like a year ago, as it was not never released on Europe.
-It's freaking Amazing!
I've not had so much fun ever since Cruis 'n World!
XBOX -version is also without any loading times (just to mention for those who has not NGC).
It really is such a good game! I love arcade racers like this, and wish we could have access to more of them, even in today’s climate in gaming. The GameCube version also has no loading times for the record, but glad the Xbox version fares the same! Thanks for checking out the video!
Well technically the only Gamecube game in the video is Bomberman, the rest are just multiplat games.
And yes Bomberman is pretty much underrated in most consoles.
Yeah, the majority are multiplaform games, which should help make it enticing for any 6th gen fan. Thanks for checking out the video!
I always liked Cel Damage. I played it on ps4 a few years ago and loved it
It's a really neat game for sure! I have the HD version, but haven't tried it yet. Thanks for checking out the video!
Wow, most of the games here I didn't know, or didn't know they were good!
I'll be sure to check them out?
Glad you learned about some titles, and their quality here! Thanks for checking out the video!
@@GameCubeGalaxy
Yeah, actually I did know about cel damage, XIII, and Blood Omen. But I didn't know Kao was good, or Sphynx, or Smashing drive.
The Gamecube really seems to me like the sweet spot for videogames history, in which the technology was there, and the fun and passion and creative design philosophies came together, right before gaming became truly mainstream and completely changed forever.
And your channel is great for finding great underrated games! Keep it up!
The GameCube (and 6th gen consoles) really were the sweet spot of gaming. The creativity was through the roof, and so many sublime experiences. Really means a lot hearing you’re enjoying the channel!
We loved Cel Damage back in the day. The rerelease took away the instant kill element which is what made the game. Original or nothing.
That’s what I heard about the HD version, and many complained about. I can see how that detracts from the chaos the original provides. I wish I played this one back in the day, cause I would’ve seen that being a multiplayer favorite for sure. Thanks for checking out the video!
Wow you went deep in this one. I have never played any of these games. Currently downloading them to my Swiss MicroSD card. Great video as always, keep up the good work. My go to for all GameCube content.
Thank you man! Glad you discovered some games to nab and play! Greatly appreciate the support for the channel, and thanks again for checking out the video!
Defender looks pretty interesting. I'd never even heard of it.
It's definitely really cool! Glad you learned about it here, and appreciate you checking out the video!
Well, sure. The GameCube and SEGA Saturn are my main collecting focus. They're definitely the consoles for which I have the most games, at least 60+ for each, at last count. Been awhile since I actually got a solid count, though.
Nice list of games! And as always, there are some games that I added to my wishlist after watching your vids lol! From this one I will need to look at Red Card as I love arcade sports games! I knew about Slugfest but a soccer one? Sign me up! XIII looks interesting as well so if the one on modern platform is not broken, I will probably get it there! Blood Omen 2 is one that I've never played but I will probably get it on Xbox as it will probably be cheaper! Great video and keep up the work!
Thanks, Dan! Glad you found some more games to get! Redcard 20-03 seems to be a popular find for several watching this episode, and glad I could highlight it! XIII sounds like it fixed up heavily with the latest version on current consoles, so it may be worth checking out there. Blood Omen 2 is so good, and may be good to get on Xbox if it’s cheaper! Thanks again for the support man, and glad you enjoyed the video!
I was working at Nintendo during the GameCube era and Redcard was second only to Mario Kart as my favorite game to play during lunch break. It's well worth checking out.
@@ralphdailey9503 Oh wow, that's awesome! That's really cool to hear this was one you played on lunch break while working there. Thanks for sharing that, and for checking out the video!
I like your hidden gems list b/c it doesn't cover "known" hidden gems like Chibi Robo.
Thank you man! Yeah I try to avoid the “known” hidden gems. Stuff like that I would typically cover in a “GameCube Exclusives” episode, but I want “hidden gems” to be those lesser known ones. Glad you noticed that, and appreciate you checking out the video!
I acually picked up XIII recently for 5$ which was a steal and it runs really well i also have blood omen 2 and it's dirt cheap to buy dependimg on what you are looking for.
Oh awesome man! $5 is a steal of a price for sure! Blood Omen 2 is really good too, but I think the GC version is the priciest one if I’m not mistaken (still in a reasonable price range though). Thanks again for checking out the video!
@@GameCubeGalaxy i meant 5$ for the remake of XIII
@@kitsunemetal ah that makes a bit more sense lol. I heard the remake is much better now than initially.
Always regret bowing out of Nintendo as the GameCube arrived. Was faithful through N64 then switched to the PlayStation and never got a Nintendo device afterwards.
A lot of people jumped off Nintendo when the GameCube arrived sadly, but I could see why. At the time, the PS2 was already out a year, and having DVD playback was an enticing aspect. Thanks for checking out the video!
Another great video! Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it man! Thanks for checking it out!
Cel Damage is also on last gen and previous gen consoles.
It is, and I forgot to mention the HD version. However, I've heard the HD version wasn't as good, and several aspects were changed for the worse supposedly. That being said, I felt it was still good to highlight considering this was the game's inception. Thanks for checking out the video!
Sphinx seems great. You can play it on Xbox One and Series X/S although sadly they removed it from the Xbox Store so unless they bought it beforehand then Xbox One S All-Digital and Xbox Series S gamers can't play it. Also the game is ported to PC and Switch as well. I'm guessing why they delisted the Xbox version because I heard rumors that they might port it to PS4/5 and Xbox One/Series, but that hasn't happened yet and in my opinion ports for newer PlayStations and Xboxes are overdue.
Sphinx is such a great game, and it’s a shame it never got the recognition it deserved. Also, that’s the perfect point to why a digital-only storefront is a disaster. Luckily it’s still available digitally for Switch, and you can still find physical copies on Switch as well. Thanks for checking out the video man!
News: I am saving up for a Steam Deck for one reason. Emulating games. I am gonna emulate GameCube, PS1, PS2, PSP, N64, NES, SNES, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Master System, Genesis, Sega CD CD, 32X, Saturn, Dreamcast and Game Gear. I may dabble into Turbo Grafx and some Ataris and maybe 3DO as well. Those systems will give me more than enough gaming. Literally I was drooling because of all the potential games I could play on it.@@GameCubeGalaxy
I've always enjoyed XIII. I especially like that it has bots in the multiplayer mode.
I love when multiplayer games have bots incorporated. Good to know, and I’ll need to dive more into this game for a full review one day! Thanks for checking out the video!
@@GameCubeGalaxy You're welcome! Bot multiplayer is a good way to keep games alive! And yes, please do check it out someday!
I love this Channel ❤ GC forever
Beyond humbled at the awesome compliment man! Truly means more than you know 🙏🏻. Thanks again for checking out the video, and for the channel support!
It seems cel damage is also available in newer consoles, it looks really fun
Loved the wrestling games
I need to do an episode covering those in the future! Thanks for checking out the video!
Smashing Drive is a solid game. I played through it last month as my GameCube choice for my 14 console challenge.
Cel damage I need to give some more time to. I played it for a bit to test the disc and I wasn't impressed.
Smashing Drive really is a blast, and always wanted more people to give that a try. Glad you checked it out last month! Cel Damage I was digging as a mindless Twisted Metal clone, but really liked the aesthetic and art direction. Once I got used to the handling, the game clicked more for me. Thanks for checking out the video man!
Nice picks Marcello!
Thanks, Mark! Glad you enjoyed the video, and appreciate you checking it out!
Thx, great list.
I will try out 13 and the chaos car Game.
I wounder how good the gamecube games are, never played it in my past.
My fav game is yugioh falsbound kingdom with cheats 😁
Glad you enjoyed the list, and discovered some games to check out! I'll have to try YuGiOh but with the cheats haha. Thanks for checking out the video!
Smashing Drive looks excellent 👌 I never had a chance to play it because it’s US exclusive, but maybe I should import it 😎
Indeed Smashing Drive was a North American exclusive, which is wild to see. Highly recommend it though! Thanks for checking out the video!
@@GameCubeGalaxy and sub too 😉 I don’t know why so late 😅 sorry 😉
@@nintendokolekcjoner239 thank you man, and no worries! Appreciate the sub and support!
@@GameCubeGalaxy 🤜🤛
I have cel damage on the switch. I didn't know if you were aware it was ported there
Nice! Yeah I was aware of that, and have it on there too actually, but never tried it yet lol. I meant to mention the HD version in the Cel Damage segment, but realized it after the video went live lol.
If custom robo isn’t on this list I’ll be surprised
While not in this particular episode, I did have it in my "MORE Hidden Gems on the GameCube" episode (linked below)! Thanks for checking out the video!
ruclips.net/video/sM2o21SaV4s/видео.htmlsi=vRVoKZcVIPV5B7Zn
Dont forget to mention scooby doo 100 frights, dead to rights, i ninja, xiii, ice age, tak and the power of juju, sphinx, geist, wario, all spongebob platforners IGNORE reviews of critics PLEASE
Luckily XIII and Sphinx are mentioned in this episode, and I've actually covered a few others here in other episodes are recommendations or hidden gems! I actually did in-depth reviews for Geist and Wario World if interested too! Thanks for checking out the video!
Keep em coming.
Will do! Thanks for checking out the video! Already busy at work on the next episode! 👍
Cell Damage wins this one for me, never played it but it seems the most fun. The Scorpion King: Rise of the Akkadian.. Very underrated.
Cel Damage is definitely a fun one! I haven't tried Scorpion King on the GameCube yet, but plan to try and cover it in a new "licensed-based" games video soon!
@@GameCubeGalaxy Good. It's very much worth it. I'm waiting for the new video then.
I absolutely love this channel man! Spitting lots of knowledge in every video. I love playing the gamecube with my son and I'll definitely check out that Kao game out. Also interested in trying that Redcard game since I love football. Keep up the good work my man 💪
Thank you man! That really means a lot to hear! The Kao game is definitely a game you can enjoy with your son taking turns playing it. Also, glad that Redcard caught your attention, as it's a blast! Thanks again for checking out the video!
I tried to order KAO on the Switch from LRG. It kept getting delayed so I cancelled it. 😂
Probably better off getting the PAL version, or waiting for another publisher to release it in the US, since LRG games have been getting other publishers to release games to the general public lol.
I saw the Pirates v Yankees. Does this mean you're a Pirates fan?
Nah, I’m a Yankees fan actually 👍. Thanks for checking out the video!
Doesn't Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy have that bugged door that softlocks you from progressing further? Warn a player if you recommend that title!
If you don't mind me asking, and forgive me if I'm mistaken, but, why do you use emulation for the game footage in your videos instead of direct capture from original hardware?
Everything you see in gameplay is 100% direct capture from original hardware since I started the channel day 1. I even state that in the description of every video, sharing what I’m using to capture the footage. Hope this clarifies things a bit!
@GameCubeGalaxy my apologies. I guess the mClassic is what was throwing me off since the footage looked better than what I've personally experienced with my gamecube using an EON HDMI adapter. Sorry for not noticing the notes in the video description. Thank you for the information.
Good to know that Gamecube games can look this good with a bit of effort.
Have you covered GO GO HYPERGRIND?
I have actually! It's in this episode linked below!
ruclips.net/video/56RbiFNIS2s/видео.html
XIII is still a excellent game even in 2024 !! let's give it a try ....
It’s definitely a heavily under-appreciated game! Thanks for checking out the video!
Kao looks cool but why they chose el chupacabra as the main character 😂
🤣🤣
I own 90% of these games on PS2.
So I see no need to get the Gamecube versions, since they are expensive
6:29 I see what you did there.
time to do prince of persia series
Definitely one I plan to cover! Thanks for checking out the video!
Do you agree that twilight princess is the best GC game?
While Twilight Princess is a great game, there are better games for the console in my opinion. The best GC game would probably go to Resident Evil 4 for me.
1:07 wait hold the fuck up is that the mario kart level???
lol! No, that’s just JFK Airport 🤣. Thanks for checking out the video!
Really? Nothing from the Tak trilogy?
Not yet, but definitely planning to cover those in the near future! Thanks for checking out the video!
So id like to know if im hearing a voice coming from a fellow millennial who twuz blessed by the God of graphical games and of all times in existence chose us as recipients that experienced gaming at the time it was getting its momentum on its way to the monster money maker of today. To be young enough the nes was in its last days and see every step from then as it absolutely amazed with each step forward with not just amazing graphics but technical advancements in game mechanics with the experience of creators now able to push the limits of what they know and not be learning how the code is working for a system.
When people say they wish they were born earlier or later so they were able to be something different was a saying i thought id agree with till i realized i got the best life for someone who claims they love game's more than anyrhing else in life.
If you own a GCHD MK2 you Dont need a crappy Switch

Freedom fighters
Such a hidden gem for sure! I covered that one in my "MORE Hidden Gems on the GameCube" episode actually! Thanks for checking out the video!
No killer7
Not in this specific episode, but it is one I’m reviewing this summer, so stay tuned for that one!
🤡Sorry, but Smashing Drive is not a hidden gem. Nope, can't let you have that one. There are well over 300 GC games worth downloading, but this arcade port isn't one of them.🤡
The world is past GameCube, an you’re stuck on it. Why limit your growth when you can just cover all Nintendo?
There are still many who have nostalgia for the GameCube, and the console has actually never been more popular as of late. It’s more a case of living this nostalgia amongst fans of the console, whether old or new, while providing high-quality content that the console deserves. I also always had a passion for the GameCube, so this channel is a passion project for me. I could cover “all Nintendo” but then I’d be no different than a lot of other channels that do the same (many of which do it very well too). Hope that clarifies a bit why I focus on the GameCube!
