Looking Back at GameCube with Jon from Spawn Wave

The Gamecube's carrying handle was great since my parents traded custody like four times a week

Funnily enough, at my old dentist they had a GameCube hooked up to the TV with melee on it. This was like 2 years ago and it still worked great even after so many years

I’m old. GameCube was the first console we bought as adults in our first apartment.

Scott really been collabing with everyone I follow... I love this.

Honestly, I never realized that having multiple discs for one game was strange. To me, it always just said "hey, this is a really big game and you're gonna be playing it for months". There was this one Ninja Turtles game that had 3 discs and I swear it felt like that game just went on forever

The GameCube was my first console as a kid and I loved this little thing. While the library was limited what was there was a joy. The child friendly image it had is probably what got me hooked on gaming. My parents would let me play for hours but God forbid if I am unsupervised in a house with a PS2 or an Xbox.

Put this on as some background noise and was listening with half an ear as I did other stuff. Hearing Scott mention the Analogue pocket got my attention. Such a cool little device, but I was not expecting him to have one and you bet I listened to the rest of the video with full attention.

I remember back then, I was floored by how good Super Mario Sunshine's water textures were. I thought they'd never be surpassed.

As a 14 year old when the Gamecube came out, I was on the fence about spending birthday money to get one. I had been playing GTA3 and MGS2 on PS2 and kind of felt like there was no going back to Nintendo, but when I saw Mario Sunshine I knew I had to play it. After that I made some older friends who were into Melee and playing multiplayer with them on a big flat-screen TV at their college campus was awesome. Then of course Wind Waker was fantastic, Metroid Prime was amazing and Twilight Princess was a masterpiece. So many good memories of this console. I still personally like N64 more because I was a younger kid when it came out but Gamecube was an improvement in almost every way.

Re: 10:10 with the Metal Gear Solid stuff. The reason they remade MGS1 on the GameCube is because Hideo Kojima essentially just didn't want people to play MGS2 before playing MGS1 and the PS2 was backwards compatible so it wasn't an issue there.

I'm 36, my kid's dentist office still has Gamecube kiosks!

I was always a full on Nintendo kid. I never strived away, from the NES, SNES, and N64. I was dead set on the GameCube and dragged my mom to Toys R Us on a cold Sunday November morning to get the GameCube on launch day, with every last penny I saved up from birthday money to shoveling snow and any other odd jobs. I really loved the machine at launch with Luigi's Mansion and Tony Hawk 3, but eventually it had some disappointments for me. I really loved wrestling games, and WMX8 just didn't do it for me like the AKI N64 games. Then when I played GTA3 at a friend's house, and then I found out Tekken Tag Tournament was a thing on PS2 (I fell in love with the arcade game), I was so dead set on getting a PS2. And it didn't disappoint. The GameCube was still a monster in my basement that I basically used as a budget machine. I bought so many games when they were reduced to $20 (or less if stores were having sales), like Mario Sunshine, Windwaker, Paper Mario Thousand Year Door, Pikmin, and a bunch of others (something I wish Nintendo brought back).

In 2001 I remember my friend was hype for the Xbox because it had a hard drive that you could rip CDs to. Reminds me of the Xbox one and TV. MS has been obsessed with replacing Sony in the living room since the late 90s.

The game cube will always be my favorite console. In my opinion still to this day has the best first party line up of any Nintendo Console and was a cool time for Nintendo to experiment too. You just had to be there. If you’re able to get your hands on one I’d recommend

Glad to see you working with Jon. I watch spawn wave every weekday morning. Very good channel for video game news.

Oh hell yeah, it’s Scott and future Scott

The Wave Bird controller was awesome.

I remember being a kid seeing Brand new GameCubes for $29.99….wild 😂

This is like when your favorite character gets into Smash

Awesome an hour long Scott video on a Friday. I love the GameCube have so many good memories with it as a kid I remember being so amazed with the graphics and seeing Luigi’s mansion the first time. Double dash still one of the best Mario kart games also
