Thanks to Epic Games for sponsoring this video
On this episode of Retail Reviews, Mike and Ryan discuss Nintendo's GameCube and a few of its stand out games. The Nintendo GameCube is a home video game console released by Nintendo in Japan and North America in 2001 and in PAL territories in 2002. The GameCube is Nintendo's entry in the sixth generation of video game consoles and is the successor to their previous console, the Nintendo 64. The GameCube competed with Sony's PlayStation 2 and Microsoft's Xbox. The GameCube is the first Nintendo console to use optical discs as its primary storage medium. The discs are in a miniDVD-based format but the system was not designed to play full-sized DVDs or audio CDs unlike its competitors, and mainly focused on gaming instead. The console supports limited online gaming as well.

Don’t, Tencent has a 40% share in epic games. They are fighting a meaningless war with Apple over micro transactions.
Don’t give epic games money.
No thank you, i don't play normie trash©
Uh... You do know that like 90% of your viewer/fanbase is 25 and older right?
DONT DO FORTNITE PLEASE NO
NOOOOOO
You know you're getting old when the Gamecube is retro.
It was inevitable that we would become boomers
is it not?
The system seemed retro even when it was only a few years old. I bought it new and don’t remember a time it ever had a “heyday”. The Wii stole its thunder.
Even the wii is already retro.
GameCube is also retro for young folks
I have fond memories of carrying my Gamecube by the handle while walking to a friend’s house to play Melee and Kirby’s Air Ride.
Loved Kirby Air Ride. City Trial was my favorite mode
Id use the handle for close walks from my cousins houses too !
Your comment made my nostalgia heart skip a beat lol.
Wait you used the Handel?
Man I remember putting serious time in f zero and Zatchbell.
For anyone with a Gamecube:
When you want to take out a disc, there's a silver button in the middle of the holder, press that to release the disc, don't just tear them off. It wasn't shownthat way in the video, so I just wanted to mention it.
Thank you I always felt paranoid they’d break
Who didn't know that?
@@GameparkGames
A ton of people actually, like Ryan in the video at 4:43.
GameparkGames I didnt
Seriously? Wow I had no idea
"I know a lot of people don't like the Gamecube"
Not when I'm done with them.
Hater: I don't like the Gamecube.
Ozgar Thunderhammer: So, you have chosen death!
Project Mayhem lol
I thought many people like the gamecube. Indeed not my favourite console but it's pretty cool.
hahahaahha yes my emotions exactly
There are people who hate GameCube? I'm a Playstation fan and was into the PS2 but I never hated the Gamecube. Missed out on many great games like Smash Bros and Metal Gear Solid Twin Snakes
The controller is still one of the most comfortable ones.
Big agree
Tell that to Smash Bros. pro's. It's by far, the most desired controller to play that series.
Best Nintendo Controller IMO
Agreed. I actually prefer it over any modern controller.
Ergo AF.
GBA player is one of the greatest accessories ever made
The GBA Player is dope because thanks to it, you could play every single Zelda game on the GameCube up until the release of Phantom Hourglass on the DS.
been playing minish cap on mine just today
The Game Boy Player is the main reason I laugh at people who ask me why I use a GameCube instead of a Wii.
"is this just a box, orrrrr..."
"Thats yours, that was here..."
...
"Oh. ok, cool."
One of my favorite games on the Gamecube is Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem.
Seriously the best game that was made for that system besides Super Monkey Ball. The mind tricks that game played on you are still epic to this day!
Yep that and Twin Snakes
Such an awesome, inventive take on survival horror for 2002ish. Ahead of its time.
RE4 & Eternal Darkness was really two thumbs up
My friend raved about that game back in the day but I never got around to playing it
I remember I was so hyped for this console that when the specs were published in the Spanish Official Nintendo Magazine, I took the meassures and made a paper Game Cube to see how big it was going to be.
Oh! I remember that paper Game Cube...
I remember a lot of magazines calling it "nintendo dolphin" too, haha.
That’s very precious.
He seems obsessed with Monkey Ball :D
Honestly who isn't
It's a good game. I talk about more of my collection here ruclips.net/video/rMbQWOLtIRI/видео.html
Mike: “Hey, so I brought all of my games to show why the GameCube is so awesome....”
Literally talks only about monkeyball.
Never change, Mike.
Now thats a game that ruined friendship
Starfox games too. That was fun
"I want to talk about all these games!" I'm like oh cool. Talks about only monkey ball.
Mike said they did talk about all of them, but it made the video an hour long. My guess is that hour long videos are too intimidating for casual viewers so he cut it down to half for a better chance of getting clicks.
kyuubinaruto17 But still, out of that hour of footage, why go with 4 mentions of Monkeyball?
I would have love of them talking more about Luigi's Mansion. This game is awesome.
Has a stack of games. Only talks about Super Monkey Ball.
We actually went over ALL the games there when we filmed this. But we cut the video down because it was getting too long. However you can check out this video where I go a bit further on other games: ruclips.net/video/rMbQWOLtIRI/видео.html
It's such an excellent game I still would play it and the minigames.
Lol new title "why the original monkey ball is awesome",
Monkey ball is awesome
Cinemassacre
I need the full vid haha
RUclips sponsorships remind me of those goofy 1950s toothpaste promos they used to have in those old variety shows.
I was born in 1995. I grew up with a SNES and N64, but the GameCube and GBA were the main part of my childhood. I will always love this little console.
My gamecube memory card got corrupted onetime, that was one of my worst moments. RIP 🙏.
Erick Martinez loser
@@BeyondSurvivor Okay...
Erick Martinez okay
@@BeyondSurvivor No u
Had this stack of games I thought he was going to go through, never got past Super Monkey Ball!
It's the Gamecube's version of Candy Crush. I am NOT surprised.
One of the coolest things about the GameCube was how you could play game boy games on it
With an add on, yes.
No with a cable and gba
Well actually the cable acted kind of as a secondary controller/assistant with certain games. To actually play GB, GBC and GBA games, you needed the game cube game boy advance accessory to play them on the television.
Yes such as transferring pokemon from generation 3 to pokemon Collisium and pokemon xd gale of darkness.
The Gameboy Player that snapped on the bottom
This system actually brought me back to gaming. I hadn't played anything since the SNES.
Then I broke up with my girlfriend and bought a GameCube/windwaker.
Life changing
Broke up with your girl and got a GameCube, what an absolute Chad
@@kingdoge69 Definitely an upgrade.
Nintendo created the expectation of a "gritty" zelda with their tech demo and built buzz then pivoted 180 degrees to windwaker. I believe without that spaceworld demo, it would have been better received.
I remember that tech demo too. I even bought Windwaker, but never got around to playing it because I was so disappointed at the time.
Hmm I didn't know that happened. I always liked the style of windwaker
GameCube was a cool system, but I was in high school and got out of gaming when it was launched. I did play GameCube at a friend’s house, we played 4-player Melee and the Mario Party games. We had lots of fun at birthday parties!
jr U it also has DVD playback. Our high school teacher even had a PS2 as their DVD player!
Same, joined military then bought a ps2.
charleywayne hinkle the PS2 in the early 2000s was such a versatile entertainment system.
I was like 1 when it came out.
Earl Glock whenever I was invited to my friend’s house, we played Melee, it was a much different party. Grime the GameCube didn’t play DVDs, it didn’t have the multimedia features as PS2 and Xbox had.
My favorite game in GameCube was Eternal Darkness, what a game.
came for this comment
Definitely one of the greatest games ever.
100%
I remember my character hallucinating a room full of ammo. I was young, 12 I think, but I remember being super excited because I needed it...but it wasn't real.
3:33
Every time he talks about Monkey Ball, we take a shot.
I have another video where I go over all my other GameCube games
ruclips.net/video/rMbQWOLtIRI/видео.html
Thats alot of shots
I spent HOURS playing Eternal Darkness. LOVED that game!
That's one of my absolute favorites too!
The GameCube has an amazing library, it’s still my favorite Nintendo console by far
Metroid Prime 1+2 and Timesplitters 2 had to be three of the games in my top list.
Remember the small CD?
The GameCube has a special place in my heart, I kinda wish Nintendo made a follow up based off it.
Amen to that buddy. As another commenter posted, the Metroid series on it is the best fps on the GC. Also the RE remake on it is so brilliant. I was a PS2 man but I gotta put my hands up, it's my fav Nintendo console (tied with N64.)
I can't agree. Really didnt like the gamecube. IT is better then the wii but in my personal Ranking its one of the worst Nintendo console
I thought this was a gamecube review and not one about monkey ball.
It's supposed to be about the console and the games. I'm wondering if there will be a part 2 where they actually talk about the games.
We actually recorded about an hour for this video where we went on to talk about all the games you see sitting on the table. But it was getting a little long. If you want to see a bit more, here's a video with some of my GC games. ruclips.net/video/rMbQWOLtIRI/видео.html
I mean, he didn't get into Monkey Ball until like 20 mins into this 27 minute video
@@JamesNintendoNerd all I know is I want to try this "Monkey Ball" game out....
I’m glad you guys are talking about the GameCube. Such a underrated console! It had so much potential & AMAZING ACESSORIES!
One thing I give the Cube is even today, many of the games still holds up well.
That's why they're remaking a fair amount of them, like Super Mario Sunshine
I am literally playing through Metroid prime on hard mode right now actually. I just got 100% items and about to go fight meta Ridley and finish the game. My 5 year old son has become obsessed with the Metroid series in general and has loved watching me play this one even more than super Metroid! GameCube is probably my favorite system of all time. Even more so since I have the gba player and disc that attach to the bottom of the system.
The kid is 1 of the saviors of this generation!!!
I've got mine still sitting the living room with the GBA attachment, make sure you never lose that Disc, apparently they are really expensive to replace.
I beat Resident Evil on the Gamecube not too long ago. What an amazing game.
You should followup with RE4. It still holds up.
@@watsomd why not 2 and 3?
I recently bought that on a eShop sale for my Switch Lite. Who could have ever imagined that RE remake would be on a handheld console. What a time to be alive (minus all the crazy riots going on right of course)
I've just bought resident evil on gamecube as its so cheap
@@watsomd not even close.
RE Remake > Code Veronica > RE 4
Shook that he doesn't recall that the man in Luigi's Mansion MADE the FLUDD from Mario Sunshine
Everything in their collection is so amazing. My eyes kept getting drawn to that "Final Fantasy II" and "Secret of Mana" behind Mike. That was my childhood jam.
I was a junior in high school, when the Gamecube came out. Worked at Taco Bell, and saved up to buy one--mainly because Resident Evil Remake was being released.
RE0 and RE4 (when it was a Gamecube exclusive) were just added bonuses.
Those Resident Evil games for Gamecube looked amazing at that time and still do.
Glad to see other resi fans these games were amazing i couldnt believe the graphics at the time i was shocked! never thought that nintendo would do the resi series so much justice bk at the time but they did! it was an amazing time to be a gamer!
I was in Kindergarten. Pretty dope.
@TETCOM Oh man, I forgot about the RE1 remake on the GC. That was freaking amazing and far more creepy than the original!
RE4 is one of the best games on the GameCube. So many hours spent playing story and time trials
I grew up with this console, I remember going to Toys R Us (RIP) with my parents to grab this console on launch night I think. So many amazing games on this lunchbox.
Love how they talked about this beautiful system. So many fond memories and countless hours spent playing on it. I wish they talked a little bit more about the games like Resident Evil 4, Super Smash Bros Melee, Pokemon Colosseum, Animal Crossing, Paper Mario, etc.
I still have my old GameCube. I love playing my copy of Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.
I played the heck out of Animal Crossing on the GameCube. I also Loved Eternal Darkness, very underrated Horror game.
I loved Eternal Darkness too
I'm a crisp suit away from going door to door asking people if they would like to talk about our Lord Xel'lotath.
Ich liebe die Arcade Treasers, Enternal Darknes ist auch super.
@Thomas same here. Such great games.
I dont think Eternal Darkness is underrated. Its always mentioned in any list of great horror games. Possibly under-played (due to gamecube adoption rates) but not underrated.
i remember back in the day of the ps2, when it was released it was actually cheaper to get a ps2 rather than an actual dvd player, som many households had a ps2 to watch their dvd's on. kind of amazing from todays pov
The GameCube is probably the most underappreciated console ever
During its time absolutely. Not so much today in 2020 though, videos like this give GC its due. But early 2000s everyone ignored it for the Ps2 (as amazing as Ps2 was and is, GC deserved more attention alongside it imo)
Retro Soul don’t forget about the Dreamcast but it died before the GameCube’s release
Nowadays it's the most overrated console, right up there with N64 and dreamcast.
@@Golemoid just because ppl give attention or show love to something doesn't make it overrated. But I do agree some ppl can it just depends how they praise it. Like "it's the greatest system everrr" lol. GC is way ahead of N64 and DC btw so I don't agree with you there.
"There's was really only 1 game that we played online"
Me: It's PSO, isn't it?
What else was there?^^
Didnt the gamecube have lan cable functionality so you could play games like mk double dash with up too 16 people
@@apexhunter935 Yes, with 4 game cubes, 16 controllers a switch/router, 4 broadband adapters 4 copies of the game.....and 4 tv's....lol
yes even i never played online but ofline was amazing blast
@@MrKlotzi123 I recall there was a Kirby race game that could be played online via methods
I like how everyone loves the Gamecube after almost 2 decades. I even had one as my only console of the early 2000's generations. Back in my generations, it was the laughing stock because of the Xbox and PS2, but again, I appreciated everyone love for it.
It frequently got criticized because it couldn't play DVDs. I was always like, "I already have a DVD player, I care more about the games."
The resident evil remake was better than every game on ps2 and Xbox combined
All my friends had PS2s and I had the GameCube. Everyone wanted to come over and play Monkey Ball, Mario Kart, Mario Party, Smash Bros, etc. The GC was the best party console ever. It still is
It's because of how priorities have changed over the years with consoles. Back then, it was a huge boon if a console could play DVDs because DVD players weren't literally everywhere, and since the GameCube couldn't do that, it got dunked on in spite of the great games in its library.
I remember GameCube in the UK not having full 3rd party support, so you basically had to buy one of the other consoles.
GC is a great system and I got to say: Metroid prime , oh man such a masterpiece.
Metroid Prime is fantastic!
13:52- my brain keeps hearing Waluigi’s Mansion rather than while
im not the only one yay
Same!
1:12 Ryan utilising the under appreciated GameCube handle.
The GameCube is one of my favorite consoles.
I got the GameCube on launch, and I've been defending it ever since. I love my GameCube, and I'll fight anyone about it.
Gamecube is a joke.
Sonic Mega Collection, Sonic Heros, 4X4 EVO 2, Super Mario Sunshine, Mario Kart Double Dash, NHL 06, LEGO Star Wars. I grew up with this system, so many memories
It's awesome because it's cubical
CUBICAL!!!!!
Jump the mushroom! Jump the mushroom!!

Steve Jobs would say so
Have you ever played Cubivore on the Nintendo GameCube? I feel like you would enjoy that. Cubes in Cubes!
F-Zero GX is my all time favorite on the NGC.
Radley UltraGamer Also made by Sega. Was actually an adapted Super Monkey Ball 2 engine! Sega definitely did what Nintendon’t on that title.
Mine too. Here's one of my streams for GX. Def one of the absolute best GC games.

When you describe “Gouraud shading” and “Cell shading” it would be great if you guys at Cinemassacre took more time to put a lot of effort in to editing to show the viewers all of the ideas and gameplay visuals that you are referring to aside from just talking about it without giving the viewer any kind of visual on screen info. RedLetterMedia does this in there movie reviews quite well
Oh I guess you should just go watch RedLetterMedia dude lol

The sole reason I had the GameCube was for Resident Evil. Ended up loving the cube, I bought all my games for it over other consoles I had.
Yesir RE4 BABY
Oh yea
Same here! Resident Evil Remake, RE0,RE2,RE3,RE4 that was the only reason I had Gamecube 😅
Melee for me and SA2
@@GnarlzBarkley What a game. Can't deny it was a litteral game changer. I love RE4. BUT. RE1 remake is the one. A perfect remake of a semi classic at the time. Can't be faulted to this day.
Bonus Features: Actually talks about the games...
I know, right, he didn't mention Metroid Prime or Super Smash bros....
when you go too far down the collecting rabbit hole...
"You have the silver on too? oh this is just a box"
"That's yours, that was here.."
"Oh, okay, cool"
True story!
The GameCube is without a doubt Nintendo’s most underrated system. I’d even put it over the Wii.
@@areyousureyouenteredyourna85 only a model 1, what you gonna do comparing it to a model 2.
The GameCube is the Super Nintendo of my childhood. I still collect games for it.
That's sad, get a snes loser
@@alexhenderson6521 gamecube is better
Alex Henderson oh no I’m not dissing the SNES. What I meant was if AVGN grew up with NES & SNES, the PS1 to me is like the NES, the console you played at a very young age & then came the SNES that upped the ante on more compelling & fun games. That’s what I was trying to say. I don’t hate the SNES. I played on it when I was 3 years old. I have an original one and a SNES Classic Mini. I’m sorry if my comment offended you or confused you.
@@QuilLocke your fine buddy I was just messing with you lol
As someone who got a gamecube in the early 2000's, I absolutely agree it was an amazing console. It was the best at coop and couch multiplayer, games like Mario Kart Double Dash and Timesplitters. The problem was that the ps2 completely overshadowed both the gamecube and xbox. I love the ps2, but it just felt unfair to the competition.
Timesplitters was amazing. Great couch co op.
@@greenkoopa i loved playing mario party with my 3 buddies on ps2
@@IAm-zo1bo you have created a paradox
The PS2 was such a filthy casual console. Great console with great games, regardless. But the majority of the gaming population didn’t want to leave that comfort zone. Their loss.
Theta 32x, It was very effective. And it upscaled those dvds 📀
I love how passionate they are about old school hardware and games. It’s people like these guys that keep the past relevant and attractive still. There was a time before these kinds of people on youtube where you wouldn’t even care to think about old games and hardware whatsoever.
This reminds me of that episode of Xplay when they were dropping all three consoles off a two story building with the GameCube surviving the most falls without flunking.
GameCubes are made of a rare material called Nintendium. In the aftermath of a post-apocalyptic world, there will be 3 cockroaches, Keith Richards, and a GameCube jamming out on split screen.
The AVGN should review Gamecube Games! It's crazy how the console is almost 20 years old now
He actually reviewed a Gamecube game, The Universal Theme Park game.
The only one I could remember kid Charlie's angels
Melee's competitive scene still strong after almost 20 years and the rollback netcode being far better than the 90% of modern fighting games out there.
What if he reviewed Resident evil 6 and operation racoon city
I had so much fun playing the Gamecube. I always felt it was so underappreciated. I'm glad to see they're finally talking about it.😃👍
Making a GameCube video myself later this year. Probably a game review. Nice video! Keep it up! Love this Retail Reviews series!
The title should be “Why Monkey Ball is awesome” instead lol

@@martin0499 Hisssssssssssss
@@findantu There's a third party one, but the Joy-Con slots only hold the controllers. The keyboard requires a USB connection, so there's no wireless functionality when you attach the controllers. Kinda defeats the purpose of it.

I'm suprized they didn't mention the Gamecube Gameboy player..
I wish Nintendo would re release their old game cube games on the switch. As someone who didn’t grow up on the game cube and fell in love with it latter in life, I want to play a lot of the games on it, however the prices in the off market are ridiculously high do to them not being avible on the Wii U and switch E shop and nostalgia for these consoles hitting their peak
Yes! And the used GameCube game prices shows there's a market.
The GameCube is perfect for a Mini/Classic version too, like the NES and SNES. I imagine it would be a little cube, more or less the size of a Rubik’s Cube.
this was all a plug to talk about Super Monkey Ball.
Heh, well we actually recorded us talking about all of the games sitting on that table too. But the video needed to get cut down for time.
Here's another video where I go through a bunch of my GC games ruclips.net/video/rMbQWOLtIRI/видео.html
I bought my Gamecube from Walmart $40 off because it was returned. Only thing missing was the plastic wrapping around the cables. My buddy, on the other hand, won his from a Mountain Dew promotion.
Man I loved my gamecube and still have it to this day! My favorite thing about the gamecube was the GameBoy Player I must have used that more then the actual gamecube games lol
You should do a part 2 where you talk about more of the games at this point all you talked about was monkey ball in terms of actual gameplay.
For some reason the close up angle camera works very well in Mike's favor when he's explaining his thoughts
16:40 So true, I remember all my friends saying windwaker was too cartoony, and they wanted a grittier version like other games which were becoming real. But without a doubt, it completely grew on them, I had it and loved it. Still do. And above many of my other gamecube games I would say windwaker graphics are actually some of the best. Its so smooth and the rich and reactive gameplay just runs like a dream.
I love my gamecube! It's one of my favorite consoles ever. I think you guys could have talked a little bit about other games, in the end it was too much Monkey Ball centered, and there are a lot of games that deserve some love too. Besides that, why haven't you talked about the Gameboy Player? This is one of the coolest aspects about the system! Love you guys! Thanks for the video!!
I bought one with a screen attached to it and I love my GameCube. 🎮
Had such a blast with the Gamecube back in the day. Fond memories.
I only had it for one day and it was the platinum edition. GREATEST christmas present ever...
In my notification bar, the video appeared as "Why the Nintendo Gamecube is Aw", how relieved I am, I thought they were going to say it was awful lol
Finally! Someone agrees with me that the GameCube is awesome!
Edit: I've owned my Gamecube since I was a kid and I haven't had a single issue with the laser.
My laser stopped working after about 3 years of usage. That's literally the only reason why I stopped using my GameCube and switched to Xbox
I have a gamecube now, but back when I had to decide on whether to buy a Gamecube or a Playstation 2 I went playstation mainly due to the artstyle of Windwaker. I was on the fence until I saw it as I was wanting the more realistic graphics at that time.
Like most people. It's funny to see now that playstation 2 has aged the worsy with the worst graphics of the generation and yet eternal loading times, while windwaker art style still looks fresh and awesome and gamecube load times basically doesn't exist
A game ahead of its time for sure, it’s my favorite and is widely considered the best Zelda in the whole franchise
GameCube controllers were probably my favorite, can't say as to why, I've just always liked them.
I still have my GameCube. Harvest Moon, Pikmin 1+2, RE4... 4 games that will always be on my top list.
7:30 wasnt there an old Zelda game that could do online multiplayer? i think it was a floppy based system
i found something: famicom disk network system
You're thinking of BS The Legend of Zelda, which is a downloadable single player rom through Nintendo's old Satellaview service for the Super Famicom.
Japanese only.
"That's yours that was here"
"Oh ok"
Lolololol
I play the gamecube still almost every day
fieldguy316 I bought one about 5 years ago and barely touched it the whole time. Then picked it up again about 3 months ago and play it nearly every day and have quadrupled my library. It is amazing
@@xkimopye Nice one of the best systems made still lasts 20 years later
F-Zero, SSX 3 and Metroid Prime...many a hours spent on them!
I'm currently playing a GameCube game. It's Metroid Prime. I'm almost to the end. The SNES, N64, GameCube, Genesis, PS2, and Dreamcast are my favorites of the older consoles.
Also, I bought Sonic Adventure DX recently for the GameCube on eBay about a week ago and it came Friday. I'm excited of playing it after I beat Metroid Prime.
Edit: I'm almost to the end of Sonic Adventure DX now. I just finished all the characters' stories (Including the ending story Super Sonic story.) All I need to do now is get ranks A and B in all the character's levels.
Make you sure you play Metroid Prime Echoes after that.
@@RezaQin I'm thinking about it. I'm trying not to spend too much because I'm trying to save up for an Xbox One so I can play Red Dead Redemption 2: Ultimate Edition (Which I already got before the One because it was cheaper lol. 🤷) It's not the next GameCube game I'm wanting to get, but since you recommended MP2 and that it already came to my mind; I'll be sure to get it at some point. Perhaps after I get Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Heroes, or Super Monkey Ball. I'm looking for some Super Nintendo games as well. I'll get around to it though for sure.
Love the Gamecube! Soooo many great games, im still finding out just how many
Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door was easily one of my favorite titles. Would love to play through that again.
The wii is still pretty awesome. You can get one for like $20 or less at a thrift store, mod it with nothing but an SD card....
Massively cheaper is why folks suggest it, better laser aside.
I mean nothing wrong with playing it on the gamecube; but I wouldn't really knock the wii at all either, it's a solid and heavily underrated console that is fairly affordable even today on any budget.
