Meowth has influenced me more than anything in my childhood. He showed me that with practice anybody could do anything. A pokemon could speak English and all he had to do was practice. Not find some unrealistic relic that doesn't exist, just practice and struggle. Being a self taught well developer is something like meowth learning to speak.

@@420malbania4 Sure. It came out long after the N64 began the entire stick revolution. It was a direct response to the N64 making the PlayStation seem outdated. Especially in the approach to 3D games. Sony's early design ethos was just: NINTENDO+ PS1 controller is SNES controller + two extra buttons. SONY dual-shock is N64 + an extra analogue-stick. The first original game to feature vibration feedback was STARFOX 64. Which plugged a rumble pak, into the N64's original controller slot for memory cards. The first game with the origins of modern FPS controls is N64's Turok: Dinosaur Hunter. Which features the now discarded *look-spring method of analogue controller FPS. As default. In the middle of 1996, Goldeneye soon featured controller FPS without the lookspring. Even with its bumbling "legacy" options, a proper modern look arrangement was available. In fact Goldeneye even features the mode where you could play with two N64 controllers, for true Dual "stick" input. And with a rumble pak in one or each, it makes Goldeneye the first true modern dual-shock FPS control. Sony wouldn't release the dual-shock controller until the end of that same year. 2 years after the release of the PlayStation. And over a year after the N64.

The Gamecube will always have a soft place in my heart, I got mine in 2006 after playing the Simpson's Hit and Run at a babysitter's house, this is also the same place where I played Grand Theft Auto III at age 5 that same year but that's besides the point. When I got home after being completely obsessed with the cute graphics, fun controller and gameplay of GTA meets Homer Simpson, I pleaded to my mother to get me one, and after a trip to an EB Games, she came back with a new GameCube console, controller, some games including Donkey Kong Jungle beat and it's Bongos, MarioParty 4, 5, 6, 7, Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Old Door, Sonic Mega Collection (The game that made me into a Sonic Fan along with Sonic The Hedgehog Genesis on the GBA), and The Simpson's Hit and Run... I was so happy. I since got other games for it like Sonic Adventure DX, Crazy Taxi, and Mario Kart Double Dash. We got our Wii in 2007 and the party continued, just add in Wii sports.

Cartridges weren't unreliable. In fact they were far more reliable than the scratch prone CDs of the era. The reason they sucked was because they were expensive, difficult to produce/code for and couldn't store nearly as much data as CDs. CDs were superior in all ways *except* reliability, although the main reason Nintendo chose cartridges over CDs was because it made piracy more difficult. Also, Perfect Dark is superior to Goldeneye.

In fact, more than ten years later I decided to finally finish the story mode in GX (never got past the fourth chapter on normal difficulty as a kid) and played it on an emulator. It felt just as great, maybe even better. Once you finish the story mode on very hard, you'll have memories of victory that stick with you for a long time. Thanks, Gamecube. We had an awesome time.

Kirby Air Ride and Mario Kart: Double Dash were at least 50% of my home life growing up. The Gamecube was and still is my favorite console.

"No Meowth? That's bullshit!" I've never felt more connected to a youtuber than now.

I have to wonder what a difference just the simple strategy of advertising the silver (what they called “platinum”) console as the default color instead of the indigo one (which people thought was purple) would have made. The silver console simply looked so much more futuristic and “general appeal” to me than the purple one. Also, how did this video COMPLETELY neglect to mention REmake, RE0 and Killer 7 as prime examples of “adult” games.....???

I'm pleased you talked about Eternal Darkness. That's one of the few games I've owned that I played to death; going through all three color options, and the fourth that opens up after you complete the main three. I admit I fell for the crashing screen the first time it happened. I wish Silicon Knights hadn't imploded so that there could have been a reboot/remake/remaster at some point on a newer system. Ah well.

That "crashing screen" was a complete ripoff of Metal Gear Solid 2, which was released nearly a half-year before that, when a character in the game literally told you that "You've been playing for a long time. Don't you have anything better to do with your time?" It's so blatant I can't believe no one got sued over it. They even pulled the same trick on Metal Gear Solid for the original Playstation...3 years earlier...Eternal Darkness, have you no shame ripping off Hideo Kojima?

3:05 A big reason why Playstation sold as much as it in Japan did were due to it being a cheaper alternative to DVD players. So not only were gamers interested in it, but also non-gamers. Or maybe this only relevant for PS2 sales?

I had one back in the day.

Those were fun times and I do miss that old thing. Too bad Nintendo couldn't capitalize on the strengths of Gamecube.

Yeah I remember as a kid when Gamecube games started disappearing from shelves too. There was literally one game shop in the middle of the city that still stocked them and on the few times I year my parents went in there it felt like a pilgrimage to Mecca to be able to visit it.

quick question I'm always asking myself when watching these gaming videos: Is your bean-filled gamecube still working, or did you use a broken one for that shot? I'm genuinely curious about that and would love to know.

I felt like I was holding in a sneeze when that GameCube intro didn't finish right away. Great channel btw.

Damn man, I remember playing Pitfall: The Lost Expedition for fucking DAYS on end. 100%, marking down cheat codes, exploring every nook and cranny. The Gamecube was the shit back when I was a kid and I loved every moment of it.

I think it’s only aged so well because Nintendo is stubborn about remakes, rereleases and backwards compatibility. Emulation has made the thing practically extinct.

Got this out of the loft last week, went through the pile of games and I realised I’d only played any of them a few times at most and trying them out, it made me remember why I put it in the loft in the first place.

​@2005 Cool Year Lol so anyone who disagrees with you is a fanboy who bashes your favorite game? Gotcha. I didn't say that Mario Galaxy was a bad game, but it's not the best 3D one. At least Sunshine innovated it's gameplay by designing it's mechanic around the game design, instead of the other way around like Galaxy did. I always felt like Galaxy would have been an amazing game if it hadn't been released on the Wii, that way the game would not have had those lame ass tacked on motion controls that didn't add anything to the game, which is why it feels more like a "Mario-lite" because everything is chopped up into smaller levels instead of bigger areas to explore. Mario Odyssey is the game that Mario Galaxy should have been, and it would have been an amazing game like that if it hadn't been released on the Wii. That is the reason why I haven't bothered with Mario Galaxy again because it was never that good of a game to begin with, and everyone else I know who bought the collection felt the same way, but don't let that stop you from enjoying the "best" 3D Mario game, kid.

Regardless of the Dreamcast's commercial failure, it still was the greatest, and most innovative console of it's era. To this day, homebrew games are being developed for it. Sega had the bollocks, Nintendo wish it had. Sega still dominates the arcades.
