The Story of the Gamecube (Complete Series)

The third anniversary of the Story of the Gamecube is coming up and I wanted to share some thoughts with you guys about the video. I'm still amazed that I made this series and really started taking youtube seriously. I started making videos on here all the way back in 2010 with scripted comedy bits. I tried a bunch of different things over the years, but I spent the bulk of the mid-2010's not making videos on a consistent basis. I was in my early 20's and free time wasn't all that common. Eventually the bug was scratching way too hard and I decided to give video making another run. I started working on a series of videos about the gamecube in early 2018. I spent months researching everything I could about the gamecube in an attempt to make the ultimate series on the video. The final product became more of a documentary than I originally intended, but I liked it and kept going. By the time I finished this series, I knew I wanted to keep making videos about video game history. As my first video in the series, The Story of the Gamecube is rough around the edges. The quality isn't nearly as high as it is today and my voice is awful. I have no idea who I was trying to impersonate. But the core foundation is still there. I remember having a ton of fun making this series and it'll always hold a special place in my heart. It's what finally got me into youtube as a platform and I'm grateful for that. And I'm grateful for everyone who has watched this series! If I went back three years ago and told myself that this video would have over 100,000 views, I would have lost my mind. That's the reality today and I'm still as shocked as ever. Thank you so much for watching and enjoy the videos! (Should I remake this at some point? I feel like I almost have to, right?)

I remember vividly the day I got my GameCube in the summer of 2002. I had gone to the store, money in hand, intending to get a PS2 and Final Fantasy X after seeing the game at a friend's house and being very impressed by it. When I got there, I saw that the GameCube was fifty dollars less so, on the spot, I decided to get one so I could get a second game with it. The two games I got were Sonic Adventure 2 and Super Smash Bros Melee and after getting home and playing them I knew I had made the right choice. I never regretted it and to this day the GameCube is still my favorite game system ever.

First system ever, still remember getting it from my dad like it was yesterday. The exact moment of it being handed to me haha. RIP pops, thanks for an awesome gift, wish I still had it.

I agree with ya man, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker is one of my favorite games I've ever played, my daughter was like 5 or 6 then and I'll never forget playing it with her and the moment we left our island behind for the first time, cause it made her cry cause we were leaving our grandmother behind, and that made her so sad.

The Gamecube much like the Dreamcast, was a fantastic system. Great games.

Nintendo Gamecube wasn't a Failure... We the People failed The Gamecube.

I knew a kid in 6th grade named Justin who’s grandma gave him like 20 dollar a week allowance and would just buy stuff from other kids cause he was pretty much the only kid with money. I wanted a Gamecube for Christmas but as the youngest of 4 I knew my parents would never spend that much on just me, so I started selling my old N64 games I never played anymore to him for 20 bucks a piece. After getting rid of Mischief Makers, A wrestling game, a shitty racing game I can’t remember, and the south part game I was able to give my parents 80 bucks toward my present. They went the extra mile and got me Smash Melee cause they knew how much I loved playing it at my friends.

Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem is, IMO, the best GameCube exclusive and the best survival-horror. Very underrated.

i remember it was around 2002 & my mom told me I could get any console I wanted. so since my brothers & I shared everything we all settled on the GameCube. I can't remember clearly what games we got at first but I do remember the countless memories of staying up late & playing games all night. we even built a tiny game room & thought we were so cool. thanks for this doc. takes me back at times. miss these days

Excellent job sir! This documentary touched my soul and I appreciate your works on this. I bought my first Gamecube in 9th grade and stood in line at a Walmart. I purchased the purple console on that November 2001 and my mother got me the Luigi's Mansion title for Christmas. I had to wait almost an entire month before I could get the game to play it. Brings back so many memories and I still am playing these games today. In 2020 alone I beat LOZ WindWaker, Mario Sunshine, and Star Fox Assault/Adventures. My wife and I are currently playing Mario Party 4 - 7 even to this day. Excellent console.

Madden 08, an otherwise unremarkable title. Scott the Woz: [rage ensues]

I bought the GameCube when it first released definitely was one of my favorites Nintendo systems..

The Twilight Princess reveal is my favorite E3 moment ever. And I wasn't even on the internet at that point. But the crowd's reaction is just awesome.

I got the gamecube back in christmas 2006 when i was a kid. i remember EVERYONE (including my older brother) telling me that it was a crazy idea to get it because the wii was coming out, but it was the BEST decision i ever made because I finally have a way to record gaming footage of all my old gameboy games due to the gameboy player. i still have it to this day! thank god i didnt listen to my stupid older brother :P

This is a great little documentary.! I'm 45 years old and I just bought another GameCube for the first time in 20 years,, you know. I have a lot of fond memories for things from the past, so buying one nowadays ,it's just as I sit down and play ,i come back to the 20 year-old me.. what was going on at the time,, and I remember this, and I remember that in this game... I don't know ?..I guess this is the definition of nostalgic.. I'm having a lot of fun with a GameCube in 2019

I'm a huge Resident evil fan. I remember the day GTA Vice city was coming out going to the mall with my big brother. There was a long waiting line ready for Vice citys release. They let me Come in the store and I told them I was selling my ps2 for a GameCube and a copy of Resident evil remake. People were looking at me like I was crazy lol. Good ole days. That's when Game Stop gave you good deals.

I watched this whole thing, very nice job on it.

It's funny. When I was a teen I thought the GameCube was for little kids. Now that im older I absolutely love it

the WII was basically a beefed up GameCube, it even plays Gamecube games.

surprising to hear all this, i loved the gamecube so much. i still have my black one and my wavebird controller. sunshine, zelda collectors , luigis mansion, smash melee, the star wars games,windwaker. all amazingly fun. was my first consol
