With rumblings that we might see GameCube games on the Nintendo Switch, Did You Know Gaming takes a look at some facts, secrets, Easter eggs and history of the Nintendo GameCube. This console followed the Nintendo 64 (N64), was succeeded by the Nintendo Wii, and had many games that boasted comparability with the Game Boy Advance (GBA). Another version of the GameCube was released under the name Panasonic Q, though this was short lived. The console was the home to many Nintendo franchises, including Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Super Smash Bros, Pokemon, Mario kart, Mario Party, Metroid, and was the birth place of Pikmin and Animal Crossing in the west. Through our analysis of the GameCube, the console's games and their beta builds, we hope to show some of the more interesting facts from the making of the GameCube and have its history explained.

GameCube is probably my favorite console ever
Ambition Yes same here man
Same
Why does everyone use that avi?
You're one of my favorite music channels,kudos
Same, its a shame it was slept on
Did you know?
The GameCube is called the GameCube because the shape of the console is a cube and it plays games.
Wait really? Do you think the it's called the Xbox because its a box... with an x on it?
i ran out of ideas!!!!
Did you know?
The sky is blue. Sugar is sweet. Dog crap smells bad.
Camad203 no shit Sherlock!
I have trouble believing you sir
It's safe to say that the lovable purple lunchbox was a perfect design.
Nana-Kyoto well it only had great games, great controller, and handle it's not that great
I find it funny you say that. When I went to Junior High I knew a guy who hallowed out a broken Gamecube and made a Lunch box out of it.
Nana-Kyoto perfect. If they wanted to make their least sellable console.
I hate the purple they used. Silver was pretty good tho.
Cheappy V tell that to the Wii U and Virtual Boy
I heard that the Panasonic Q failed because it was more expensive than just buying a Gamecube and a DVD player separately.
Lotus Prince Yeah that's what the Gaming Historian said at least
Lotus Prince I still want one.
Well this video is the first time I even saw the Panasonic Q.
It looks freaking epic, though
Looking online today, a Gamecube goes for ~$40.00.
A really cheap DVD player goes for around ~$35.00.
Together that is about $75.00
Ebay lists the Panasonic Q at $229.00.
At least that claim is true today. Not so sure it was the same back when DVDs were brand-new.
"The controller took 3 years to develop and was updated on a monthly basis."
And it freaking paid off!
Overrated. N64 for life.
Since the Wii U plays original Wii games, my original Wii has become my GameCube.
the wii being a component capable gamecube was easily the best part for me
If you homebrew the Wii part of the WiiU, you can use Nintendont to run Gamecube games on the WiiU (provided you have an SD card and gamecube controllers). Meaning the WiiU can not only play Wii and WiiU games, but also Gamecube games. Is there even a point to the Wii anymore? :D
addons are a pain? when you can get it built into console and wii better
Chris Reyes what's home brew
Same dude.
"Microsoft lacked an understanding of the industry" once again, Yamauchi was goddamn right.
Shame that statement also reflected his own company in 4 years
Not really.
AlexTenThousand he told microsoft to take 25 billion dollars and choke on it...proof nintendo will ALWAYS have the biggest stones in the industry
AlexTenThousand
Ya Nintendo has a way of making very consistently good games. I wouldn't say that about their consoles but the switch looks promising. I think it would be cool if Nintendo was just a developer but definitely not under anybody, especially Microsoft. They need to keep the creativity free from their clutches.
RealGamerManz I like how innovative nintendo is with thier console fail or not they definitely want to stand out from their competition and they do
GameCube is awesome, very cool video.
*insert comment complaining about self advertising*
FUCK the Gamecube!!! The N64 is the most legendary console!!!!
The best console is clearly the virtual boy get your facts straight ametures
Gamecube is a great console not the best but a lot better than the N64.
n64 was better cuz british people made most of its good games ,gamecube has no good games from UK
Yamauchi straight fuckin savage to Microsoft.
God I loved the GameCube start up sound.... Almost as good as the Dremcasts!
"Dremcast."
Sega would do that nowadays.
's not as good as holding the Z Button on all 4 controllers.
Not nearly as good as originial playstation startup sound though
rejvaik PS2*
all those start up sounds were absolute trash my xbox has a better start up sound than any of those sorry excuses for a console you lot seem to be so attatched to
You thought Nintendo Switch was groundbreaking. But does it have a handle?
No. But it does have a kick stand so that one can play it in desktop mode. That's something, right?
That was a deal breaker for me.
RealGamerManz aw crap he's right
Meg Griffin
But the superior GameCube stands on it's own. It doesn't need a kickstand
The lack of a handle is the most idiotic reason to bash on the switch!!! At least you can play it at home and on the go unlike the shitty Gamecube!! XD lol
Microsoft was going to buy nintendo. Holy fuck... imagine that shit. Dodged a bullet, no, a nuclear missle.
nah they dogded an atom!
or super nova
more like reflected and returned to sender.
Sean Stars No, the Armageddon.
that's why Microsoft now has Rare.
Thank goodness they didnt let Microsoft buy them
Glad they're still making consoles, just the thought of not having the Switch makes me sad.
Gl Corc
The very thought of there not being an industry anymore makes me sad.
After seeing what Microsoft did to Rare I don't want to imagine what would've happened to Nintendo! :(
Lenny Wright Online FPS Mario Warfare would've happened!
Kaznosa agree
This is probably one of the few videos from this channel that I could just go back and rewatch all over again, because of its music. In this case, Metroid Prime Tallon Overworld's II Theme
That was incredibly ballsy of Microsoft to ask Nintendo to stop making consoles and just make games for their unreleased/newly released first ever console. That's like asking Slash to join your unsigned garage band.
Or asking Disney to drop their animation studios and join your brand new network.
Just imagine what would've happened if Nintendo accepted the offer..
Dolphin is a horrible name for a console, a good name for an emulator though.
I think it's a stupid name for both.
wile123456 lol I agree
Raspberry pie is kinda stupid too
Michael Switzer agreed.
Michael Switzer I won't be surprised if you mention it in front of a kid and they will think you are talking about an actual raspberry pie.
"Believed Microsoft lacked an understanding of the industry"... Well, he wasn't very wrong.
Kyle S Yeah, I'm really glad that deal didn't go through. Microsoft can be innovative, like with the original Xbox and Xbox Live, but Nintendo has their own kind of innovative thinking that I don't think would have flourished all that well under the Xbox brand...
DINGO! I think Microsoft would've stifled Nintendo. Look what Microsoft's done with Rare.
agreed.
DINGO! MS isn't that innovative though, the original xbox was clunky as hell and not a whole lot of good games were made for it, and the concept of playing online was already a thing so xbl isn't as ground breaking as you think it is.
They would've probably Rare'd their ass
Microsoft: once we get nintendo on our side we're going to finish Sony for good
Nintendo: Not happening
Microsoft: What!?
Monado Boy NANI!?
omg lol best comment ever!
LOL! Literally omg!! You had me laughing there xD
Actually, I think it still would've given Sony an edge. Don't forget that Japan hates the XBOX.
odeiup Aw beat me to it lol
oh man, the Gamecube boot up sound is the best sound ever
Next to the PSX's. Fun Fact: Holding the Z button while booting up the Gamecube changes the jingle's instruments! Try it out with four Z buttons held down!
Trakker1985 It’s even a meme.
Dream cast dude...
done it omg it so creepy
chris stewart What’s a dream cast?
"Can't wait to play Mario Odyssey on my Xbox One X"
- Some dude in a different dimension
God, now I want to play Kirby Air Ride.
Bring your Gamecube and a LAN cable and we can have a party!
Neo Machine same. But I don't own it :/
You mean you don't *always* want to play Kirby Air Ride?
+mystman12
...
*What kind of monster am I...?*
I still play Air Ride , love it
God just watching the background videos makes me so happy. Mario sunshine, luigi's Mansion, metroid, kirby air ride, zelda, the list can go on and on but man so many happy memories
this console was my childhood dooood
Linklight alright DOOOOD
I didn't expect you of all people in the comments DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD
Linklight same dood
Hows it goin' dood?
It wasn’t all that successful but DAMN was it good to play!
"Exploit". It was a designed feature. The game flat out accepted code from the server to run locally. As Rudy from Funhouse would say: "That was no accident!"
Ahhh, the Gamecube was one of my most favorite consoles of all time. So many memories. And about the last time graphics could look "good" without sacrificing readability in your environments.
*The GameCube controller was simply the best controller design of it's era.*
Only real flaws with it are the d-pad being a bit too small, and only one Z button rather than a separate ZR and ZL. Comfort wise, easily the best controller of all time.
Here is a link to my Nintendo Gamecube (United States). It is silver, and the controller has some scratches. Bid starts at $18 US 1/4/2018. Buy it now is $35, with free shipping. www.ebay.com/itm/162836196833?ul_noapp=true
Love Dazz, top bloke in real life!!!! :)
Thousand Year Door is my favorite Paper Mario game.
Imagine Nintendo working with Microsoft?
That's a future I don't wanna live in.
You already live in that present, just not as strong as "we bought your fucking company"
Super Smash Bros but with Gears of War and Halo
they ruin it all and remove all nintendo character exept microsoft ones
I'd love for them to work together. There's already cross-play for Minecraft because of them being on good terms. It benefits gamers with companies generally like each other. We also almost got Halo on DS.
THE NINTENDO PLAYSTATION
My game cube outlived my ds, ps2, x box 360 and x box and still works now
Thank god for Hiroshi Yamaguchi that would have been the death of Nintendo
The GameCube controller is still one of the best designed video game controllers ever made. It would be just about perfect if it had a better quality D-Pad.
The Panasonic Q is one of the coolest things ever. That LCD at the top, the size of it, the steel chassis, nggh... Too bad it never took off.
Now this is a fantastic video. Glad to get some more bits of Information on the Gamecube!
In the early 2000s, having a PS2 and a Gamecube with GBA cord attachements to your GBSP... Those were great times
Hey Dazz, did you know that Matsushita IS Panasonic, and that it's not a subsidiary, but the company itself? Matsushita outside of Japan, traded under the name Panasonic, before they decided to use the brand name in Japan also, but before even that happened, Matsushita traded in Japan by another English name; National.
You know, they might have been onto something with the GameCube button design... Especially when it came to quick time events. When I played Resident Evil 4, I had no problem reading the button on the screen and immediately hitting the correct button. When it came to doing similar things on the Wii U (Assassin's Creed 3 in particular), I would constantly get confused and hit the wrong button, since all the face buttons were the same shape and color. This was when I realized that whenever I read button prompts, the first things I read are the colors and shape, and it took me around 2-3 more seconds to process Wii U prompts over Gamecube prompts... I think it might have also been extra confusing to me, since I played a lot of Xbox and Xbox 360, and the buttons for X, Y, A, and B were reverse to be in English left to right order on the controllers. PlayStation buttons are also easy for me to read, since I read the colors first, and if necessary, the unique shapes. I can read those quickly, too.
Which makes me wonder why Nintendo ditched color coding their buttons on the 3DS and Switch? Now I'm curious, does anyone else have this issue, or is it just me?
I remember when the GameCube was released that, compared to the brand new XBox and the PS2, it felt like a let down. Like it was a kiddie console made for children. But now, with hindsight, everyone seems to look back on it very fondly. I do remember that people loved the controller though. Even back then. It was an acquired taste. I'm willing to bet that in 15 years time everyone will look back at the Wii U and say what an awesome system it was and pine for the days when at least Nintendo still made totally unique and different consoles. I love my Wii U :)
3:42 Seeing what happened to Rareware years later, I'm glad Nintendo didn't go through with it.
It's amazing just how powerful the Gamecube was for it's time. Many believe the PS2 to be better graphically than the Gamecube, however this is false. Many games look and run much better on the Gamecube than it's counterparts, such as SSX Tricky and Resident Evil 4.
I remember these discussions going very differently as a kid.
No one believed the ps2 was more powerful tbh.
PS2 was actually the worst graphically, you can find tons of examples.
Joshua Suh No, that title goes to the Original Xbox
funny thing is component cable adn gc still beats consoles in like before wii u came out
Nintendo making games for Microsoft please Nintendo isn't going down that easy and your freakin' Microsoft!!!
They would have gone the way of Rare
If Microsoft showed that they actually were competent in the game market, and would take care of Nintendo well...we might've been playing Splatoon on a Xbox One right now.
Nintendo made the complete right decision for the right reason. Nintendo knows the market well and future success is better in their own hands, then Microsofts. Clearly Microsoft would ruin them in many aspects.
Personally, Valve should consider buying Nintendo. If it was done right, PC gaming would be worldwide. I'd never fuckin leave home. Splatoon online on a PC....**drools**
nah fuck microsoft
Microsoft consoles are shitty and cheap. Thank god it didn’t happen.
I'd rather take Splatoon wherever I want with the Switch.
It's a shame the GameCube failed. It had so many good games, like the Wii U.
The Wii did so well; everyone wanted it, like the Switch.
History repeats itself.
EpicWither 83 What're talking about??? Gamecube sold pretty well back then.
Overall, it sold worse than the PS2 and Xbox, and N64. The Wii & DS basically brought them back until the Wii U and 3DS launch plunged them back down to the bottom.
Even more, both the GameCube and Wii U were the worst-selling Nintendo consoles of their time. The main difference is that the GameCube, despite being second-place in Japan and third-place in the west, was still a commercial success for Nintendo, while the Wii U was one of their biggest hardware failures ever.
EpicWither 83 The 3ds was a huge money maker for Nintendo when the WiiU failed. Also the WiiU didn't have what many good games
NeonFish710 he said the 3DS launch where a lot of people didn't buy it due to it's high price
I want a N64 and Gamecube mini soooon! < 3
Its time to SSSMMMAAASSSHHH!!!
Woah there, friend, I think I drew that Jigglypuff you have in your profile some years ago, this is a bit surreal, finding this randomly here on YT, where did you find it?
smash bros 64 was better
No items Fox only Final Destination
TyphloExplosion *ding* Dunh da dadadaaaa, dunhdadada daaa
Loving the Metroid Prime music
I know, right?! The Tallon Overworld Depths is probably one of my favorite Metroid songs.
Metroid prime had the best soundtrack out of all the GameCube games
I can respect that opinion. I do agree that it's one of the better ones.
No wonder Microsoft bought Rare and bled them dry...they were probably sour after those initial negotiations with Nintendo.
But Nintendo did turn down the offer of purchasing rare. Ultimately forcing rare to shift to Microsoft to buy them. So it is kind of Nintendo's fault for rare's downfall too.
Nintendo still owned a major part of Rare as a company and was a huge stockholder for them. From what I recall, Microsoft buying Rare was a forced buyout, and Rare had several budding projects with Nintendo at the time that had to be shelved.
Just a quick note after doing some research, I was wrong, as it was not a forced buyout, but my original comment still stands. Besides not outright buying the studio, Nintendo didn't cause the downfall of Rare. Everything that Rare did afterwards was not in Nintendo's hands. Nintendo may or may not have regretted buying Rare entirely, but I don't see how they were at fault.
Microsoft buying Bungie Worked out, but clearly Bungie had more say in how their games were developed as opposed to rare.
Nintendo doesn't seem to regret that decision at all; It helped them with making partnerships with other smaller developers like Next Level Games and Monolith Soft without the need of purchase. Also, Advance Wars and Fire Emblem came at the right time at the time.
I’m loving all this Metroid Prime footage. One of the greatest games of all time.
Greatest console of all time: Melee, Sunshine, WIndwaker, Paper Mario TTYD, Maeroid Prime 1&2, Pikmin 1&2, Mario Party 4-7, Pokemon Coliseum, Pokemon XD, Fire Emblem Path of Radiance, StarFox Assault, Mario Kart Double Dash, and so many more.
Roy Elibe
And Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles
Twilight Princess!
and yet thats nothing compared to the SNES
Erlisch
Mmh I guess, but still a pretty debatable point...
Animal Crossing, Resident Evil 4, Tales of Symphonia
I remember the GameCube fondly, it was my first true console. I’m played the SNES and Dreamcast a lot but I didn’t own them. I remember getting the indigo GameCube with F-Zero GX, Smash Melee, Animal Crossing, Billy Hatcher, and Super Monkey Ball for Christmas.
I always loved the GC design even though I was a PS2 owner.
Also Fuck Microsoft, thank God the deal did not go through.
ya thx god and emulators are the best lol but i own nintendo wii and gc so prefer that
Why " Fuck Microsoft,"? It was a friendly business deal that didn't come to fruition, not some legal battle that was bullshit or something.
Friendly? yeah right.
Just look what happened to both Rare & Nokia.
@@ahmedp800 its jsut business
@@greedpower565 *just
And with that thinking imagine what Nintendo would've been on ONLY Xbox consoles and also IF it doesn't work? Yeah business my ass.
Still waiting for the DYKG episode on the Tales series. Tales of Symphonia was one of the best Gamecube games.
do one on the master system
Mic Clank Yeah or the Sega Saturn.
This console was the star of my childhood. I will always appreciate the GameCube!
When will you get AVGN on this shit?
Takatora Toudou when he becomes worthwhile
Honestly I think he's just as good as ever.
He could do one on Tiger Electronics games
Maybe for the Atari systems
Or scratch that, LJN games
GameCube will forever be my favorite console. So many games that were so good.
*GameCube was the best console of the generation*
I always love the game cube design its so cute and small looking! ^w^
Spider-Man 2,Wind waker and Soul Calibur 2 those were the days.
6:48 Is that Robotech? Hell yeah!
Nintendo's First Home and Portable console sorry Switch
Leon S. Kenady
That's the virtual boy.
Saw one of those Panasonic gamecubes in a second hand video game store years ago.
Was pretty awesome to see one in person considering how much they seem to go for on Ebay.
Finally! Another sequel!
This is the console that impacted my childhood the most and that STILL impacts me now and that Kirby's air ride clips make me wanna cry over how much i loved my GameCube
Did you know The Gamecube is the best Nintendo Console ever
You spelled Super Nintendo Entertainment System wrong
how tf do you misspell a three letter word
did you know the cables for component are over $400?
uberlan farias *Spelt
Mr. Pepé Spelled is accepted in the US, so I don't see the point in your "correction"
Microsoft: Hey we'll but your compo-
Yamauchi: *Yeets a Gamecube at Microsoft*
I would buy a Gamecube classic mini.
Also thank God Nintendo refuse Microsoft.
Videos al paso who wouldn't?
If a GameCube Classic ever came out, child me would shit his pants.
I have a Gamecube, two actually, and I agree wholeheartedly, especially if it uses the same port as the OG. Many Gamecube games have become stupid expensive nowadays.
Phantasy Star Online Episode 1 & 2 for the GC is such a cherished game for me and my friends. It's one of those games that we still continue to play now and then when we see each other.
Wow the walking simulator is genius
Ah Gosh, the Gamecube! Definitely my all time favorite console ever, right with the SNES! So many masterpieces on those 2 consoles, I love them to death and am so glad to own and have played on them.
Also, that sweet Metroid Prime soundtrack on the second part! :D
Nice video, cool info
That Kirby Airride music makes me nostalgic and want a sequel even more.
OH MY GOD THAT'S WHY THE MARIOKART TRACKS ARE CALLED GCN INSTEAD OF NGC
GAMECUBE FOREVER!! BEST CONTROLLER, GREAT MEMORABLE GAMES MAKE FOR AN AMAZING CHILDHOOD!
Gamecube controller is the best controller period.
dang.... this brought back memories. this was my entire teenage years right here. I'd play these games all the time with my friends. I even remember specific moments on these games when I played them.
Thank God Microsoft didn't buy Nintendo.
This comment aged perfectly
What timing, I just found a GameCube at a goodwill!
Still waiting for the GameCube 2
GameCube Future for me.
JoJo8913 That was called the Wii.
Just imagine if MS had ended up buying Nintendo. Strange timeline man
TechnicalCakeMix mario in xbox
If Microsoft got nintendo, Odyssey wouldn't exist.. THANK GOD
1:50 - That definitely is what sold me on the console, the size.
I will say that if the Gamecube controller simply added L2 and R2 that it would be perfect. That's all it needs.
How about the D-pad being less awful?
That's a hardware issue, not a design issue. Put a rotating ball underneath with pins for each arm to rest on when pressed down and it works. It's what I did to my controllers. Makes it easier to play Gameboy games through the Gameboy Player as well.
But the design of the Gamecube controller, the layout and how it's shaped? That's about as close to perfection as we've gotten.
I'm mostly a Mouse and Keyboard guy, but I will say the GameCube controller is hands down my favorite controller design ever. I really dislike the Sony/Microsoft controllers.
Some Gamecube controllers (I can't remember if they're third party or not though) have a left side bumper called the M button.
+VulpesHilarianus If you had to mod the controller to begin with, then it's a problem nonetheless. The best thing GameCube had going for it was the unique face button layout that was incredibly ergonomic. Everything else, the second analog stick, shoulder buttons and d-pad, were done way better by later controllers.
Fan of the Gamecube here present! Hey DYKG, do you plan in doing a episode for the Atari Jaguar? There's LOTS of stuff that people would love to know about ;-)
just imagine if Microsoft was actually able to buy them out... Cuphead and Odyssey on the same system
Sony would be dead
If you're talking about Mario Odyssey, then they are
Holy shit! They really planned to release a successor to the GameBoy Camera for the Advance!!
The GameCube has the best controller in gaming. DualShock is also pretty good, but the analog sticks never felt right to me.
Did you know? Tech company GameVice also tried to sue Nintendo for controller-related patents, which were finally dismissed in March, 2020. The company alleged that the Joy Cons were too similar to GameVice's own dockable controllers, but failed on numerous counts due to having only a very superficial similarity. Ultimately, their fate was the same as before; a Texas court ruled in GameVice's favor* before an appeals court determined that the device was "too obvious" to have a patent issued.
*It should be noted that many patent trolls and companies who use broad interpretations of vague patents as the basis for lawsuits will seek damages in Marshall, Texas due to the court's unusually aggressive support for patent holders there. However, in 2017 the Supreme Court ruled that a patent holder cannot simply choose any court they want and can only sue from within a district that they have an operations branch located in.
Very Interesting!
I still enjoy the Gamecube today because it was the first console that I got as a kid and my first game was Paper Mario: TTYD!
GameCube was my second home console from the N64
Woke up one morning back in 2005 and my brother told me to come in the living room
It's was black Nintendo GC along with Metroid Prime and Action Reply disc
Without MP I don't think I would've have that strong love and interest of the series
The amount of Metroid Prime Footage in this video and then the sound track of Tallon Overworld melts my heart
Even though I have a Wii u to play the trilogy over and over I bought a GC from a flea market 7 months ago and order Metroid prime and other GameCube games I use to own back I had one as a kid. I did this for collector sake and pure nostalgia :D
damn right microsoft lacked an understanding of the industry, have you SEEN how the Xbone has been fairing lol
T1g Well enough to get a slim and an X version
To throw an excerpt from a discussion about the Console Wars I like, read this:
"When the Xbox One was announced, the plan was that it had to be
always-online to work, and wouldn’t support used games. Always online is
a tall order for some customers (especially those with data caps), and
always online with a mandatory camera+microphone device is extra skeezy.
The used-games lockout was also very anti-consumer, since it would also
potentially prevent you from sharing games with your friends. The real
kicker though was when consumers asked about an offline option for the
Xbox One, they were told that Microsoft already had a product for people
who couldn’t have a constant internet connection: The Xbox 360. They
essentially told all their customers to fuck off and stick with the old
hardware if they didn’t want to be constantly online. The fact that
marketing focused more on TV apps, sports, and media box stuff instead
of gaming only further seemed to tell the core gaming audience to piss
off.
The sum of all this is that Microsoft was announcing a
console that was more expensive than it needed to be to accommodate a
peripheral that the core audience didn’t want, all the while seeming to
actively antagonize the core gaming audience who would buy it in the
first place. That’s enough to give people pause about where their
loyalties lie."
I would say that creating new versions is them trying to dig their way out of the hole they dug themselves into, rather than a sign of booming success on their part
agreed
somany5 Take a look at the worldwide sales and then say that. Microsft has an audience....but in only two to three regions, unlike what the 360 was able to surprisingly accomplish. The Wii U moved units and was never sold at a loss in every region it was sold in..eeeeeeeexcept for Brazil....
T1g Except the always online was an overblown issue. What's the downsides? 'I have to be always online and kinect will always be on.' If you're that paranoid just put the kinect behind you TV so it can't see or hear anything. And data caps, even in 2013 were dying out, with anybody who's seriously into gaming wouldn't have a plan with a data cap.
"I would say that creating new versions is them trying to dig their way out of the hole they dug themselves into, rather than a sign of booming success on their part" This doesn't make any sense. If their current console is already failing then why make the S? Or the Xbox One X? Especially because building more units that have better hardware would obviously cost more money, and if they already a failing console on their hands why waste money you can't lose?
I love how the example DVD at about 6:48 is a Robotech movie...
good on yamauchi for turning microsoft down, they didn't understand the gaming market, and honestly they still don't understand it, they did little to NO promotion for the xbox one's actual gaming performance, just how well it can do other things like video streaming apps and other non-gaming media
so THAT is why Nintendo doesn’t bother with analog triggers on their controllers... they don’t wanna get into that Anascape thing again
Gamecube > Switch
Great music choice all around in this episode.
Thank great gods Microsoft didn't purchase Nintendo. Otherwise they might've ended up like Rare. And even more thank god Gamecumbe controllers weren't discontinued, being that they're hands down the best controllers in history, along with the Wii classic controller.
That Phantasy Star footage brought so many memories
Nintendo Dolphin
The Camecube is my all time favorite console/controller. It also has some of the best games of that generation.
4:15 thank the man for declining the offer, Microsoft would have made Nintendo really bad
Hiroshi Yamauchi hit the nail on the head with his comment on Microsoft
