>>343441461
The secret ingredient is love.
Instead of grphix they went for quality
Also melee was rushed under 1 year which avoided over thinking the game
Sunshibe was 30fps trash
I still haven't enjoyed a game more than Super Mario Sunshine, still pull my GC out to play once every year or so.
Stylized graphics, tight controls for the most part.
64 aged like milk though.
Because it had the best titles out of all nintendo's multiplayer IPs.

Game releases today.
One year from now, the game is 1 year old. It is now 1 year behind all the other games that come out after said year.
Games do age.
>>343441610
Why this game is so good man?
Nintendo is so comfy!
>>343441461
Because you're a fanboy?
>>343441461
majority of the good games from 6th gen across all consoles aged well honestly.
it's not just a gamecube thing,though nothing aged better than Melee
>>343443196
Melee has reversed in age. Melee started as a fat 40 year old hag, and 15 years later is a hot 19 year old.
>>343442354
don't post that shit here. stick to reddit
>>343441461
Even the GameCube itself is a very attractive console.
>>343442053
only a pleb thinks this
>>343443801
Tell me about it.
Because it was the most powerful console of that generation, bar some disadvantages like space.

The Zelda and Banjo games aged very well
>>343444357
>>343444390
>Being "that kid"
Double Dash is a fun departure in a series that innovates too little but that doesn't mean it's automatically better. There's a reason they didn't continue making MK in that style. MK8 is the best.
>>343444540
>Zelda
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
No. Only 64, Banjo, and MAYBE Star Fox aged well. Zeldas aged like ass.
>>343444357
Only console warring retards say this.
>>343441461
They're not.
I'm dropped every single gamecube game on dolphin. They're boring as fuck.
Now I don't know what to emulate next.
>>343444643
Bomberman 64 actually aged pretty well too. This game is still sexy as fuck.
>>343444937

>>343442346
Game releases today.
One year from now, game is exactly the same as it was one year ago.
Games don't age.
>>343444643
Zelda didn't age well
FUCKING LOL.
The only aspect that didn't age well was the graphics but that is the same for every single game from that gen. A lot of games also aged poorly gameplay-wise but Zelda sure as fuck did not. It's just as good as later games, they didn't really change much for WW for example except giving you magic button that counterattacks.
It's strange how much people in general were willing to shit on it when it was out, as though your average edgy teenager was to cool to admit the games were a ton of fun. Now gamecubes are everywhere.
>>343445126
>The amount of bombs bouncing on bombs you had to set up to get every golden card and some extra costume items for the battle mode.
I don't think I ever figured out a couple of the rooms in the game.
>>343445368
Even the graphics aged fine honestly, there's not a single aspect of the game aside from menu navigation that didn't age well.
>>343445459
By the time Gamecube came out, that was about the age most people were at. My 14 year old friend told me this before it came out "Get the X-Box anon. You're going to be stuck with these kids games. X-Box is going to get everything good.".
He always said "XBOX" in a gravely edgy voice, and "Gamecube" in a cute little girly voice. Glad I didn't listen to him though, I almost did give in.
>>343445342
My name is John today.
One year from now, my name will still be John. I will still have all my vital organs and brain from a year ago, but since one year has passed I have aged. Compare me a year ago to someone a year younger, and see why that is so.
Everything ages.
>>343441461
They looks nice, sound nice, and play nice. The gamecube itself is also cute. I wish I still had mine.
>>343445580
I got all the gold cards, but there is no fucking way I could get all the costumes. Even as an adult some of that shit is just 2deep4me. The fact that they severely nerfed that mechanic in Second Attack was a crime.
>>343441941
Didn't like it then, don't like it now.
>>343445609
No, pretty much all games from that era look like ass graphically so unless you mean "how did it age compared to other games from the same timeframe?" it aged poorly.
Perhaps you misremember because you have played it on an emulator or Virtual Console but on N64 Ocarina of Time was fucking 320x240. The only thing that still arguably looks fine is the lighting. It's pretty nice in some scenes.
>>343443196
>>343443484
On new year's i got to play melee with my friend after not having played it for years and I was completely astonished at how good a time I had. I was prepared for some letdown due to nostalgia but the game just straight up feels amazing to play.
>>343446515
Okay fine, N64 blur-o-vision was a thing, granted. But was this thread solely about graphical aging or the game itself in general?
>>343442354
Fresh off the boat, from reddit, kid? heh I remember when I was just like you. Braindead. Lemme give you a tip so you can make it in this cyber sanctuary: never make jokes like that. You got no reputation here, you got no name, you got jackshit here. It's survival of the fittest and you ain't gonna survive long on 4chan by saying stupid jokes that your little hugbox cuntsucking reddit friends would upboat. None of that here. You don't upboat. You don't downboat. This ain't reddit, kid. This is 4chan. We have REAL intellectual discussion, something I don't think you're all that familiar with. You don't like it, you can hit the bricks on over to imgur, you daily show watching son of a bitch. I hope you don't tho. I hope you stay here and learn our ways. Things are different here, unlike any other place that the light of internet pop culture reaches. You can be anything here. Me ? heh, I'm a judge.. this place.... this place has a lot to offer... heh you'll see, kid . . . that is if you can handle it...

Best that you can hope for is an achievement behind a hard task.
>>343444602
Wrong, Nintendo thinks every great idea they had with the Gamecube is bad so they basically tried to do something casual for the Wii.
It payed off and for some reason with the Wii U they thought it would pay off again.
That's why 3D Mario, Smash and MK became more casual with each console.

>>343448782
>Smash 4 being more casual than Brawl
>MK8 being more casual than MKWii
Nigger please, the only one I'll give you is 3D Mario.
And since you didn't mention it NSMB Mario is actually surprisingly challenging on Wii U compared to Wii. Nothing too extreme but it made someone who grew up with an NES die a fair bit and not just in the final stretch. Too bad it still uses that fugly graphical style, it would be easier to like if it was good looking.
>>343444174
XBOX was.
Stand aside

I guess MK8 is less casual than MK Wii, MKDS however...
>>343449514
I should really play this one on Dolphin considering I played it on Gamecube when it first came out and distinctly remember how you often couldn't see shit in towns and such because your character was like the size of 1 pixel when you moved away from the camera enough. Should be better at a high resolution.
>>343444390
That's not how you spell Mario Kart 64

>Competitive wise
What does this mean? You can set stock to what you want.
Also level of competitive challenge for every game I've played:
Tournaments >>> (non-casual) friends >>>>>>>> ranked online
I first played MK8 with friends and my ranking was only like 4/9 among our group. Then went online and was always like half a lap ahead of everyone else except when rng decided to shit on me.
>>343449934

The Smash 4 official ruleset sets 2 stock. And for brawl is 3.

>>343450814
Because it is hueg.
>>343450919
ah fuck I'm retarded
My bet is on sensible triggers
>>343450935
Because it doesn't work well with higher stocks and can cause tournaments to run overtime.
Eternal Darkness was a blast.
Objectively, the gameplay was mediocre. But the Insanity Meter is what elevated the game. There was always an impulse to keep playing just to see what the game would do next.
I remember one time, while being attacked by several monsters, a message flashed up on screen: WARNING. THE GAMEPAD HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED FROM PORT 1.
So I'm jumping off my couch and running over to the Gamecube to desperately plug the fucking pad back in.
But it was already in. The game was just constantly fucking with your mind. Meanwhile, my onscreen character was getting raped.
>>343451396
The deleting save data effect was genius
Huh, actually just finished playing some Super Monkey Ball before I got on here and saw this.
I dunno, it feels like in general a lot of 6th gen games aged incredibly well. It kinda hit the sweet spot of technology being advanced enough to not hold back creativity, but games didn't cost a bunch to make and the industry didn't have as much baggage as it does now.
>>343450919
>>343451042
I was about to blow you the fuck up.
Nintendo's Mario themed sports games on the Gamecube - Tennis, Golf and Strikers - has been never been bettered imo.

I prefer Strikers Charged, but for the most part I agree.
>>343441461
I want to fuck that GameCube.

Mario Kart 8 is fantastic and I love all the post release stuff they did with the DLC and 200cc.
But man, that battle mode really hurts it. It really does.
>>343451838
I don't get how the newer Tennis ones keep getting worse and worse if they have been using the exact same assets since GC and even 64 regarding sound.
>>343441461
Sunshine is even worse than I remember.
>>343452949
Oh fuck, I had completely removed that disappointment from my mind but now it's back.
With how many fucking tracks you added as DLC don't fucking tell me you couldn't have at least put in 4 battle maps or something, Nintendo.
>>343453063
Honestly this, I always thought it was a weak Mario but in my mind it was still playable, just not as good as the other ones but it was literally zero fun when I went back to it after almost a decade. Meanwhile Mario 64 is still as fun as it was new, just ugly to look at.
>>343441461
Still sometimes dust off the ol' game cube and play Luigi's Mansion. A quality game even for a launch title.
>>343453123
All I can hope is that when NX comes out and they inevitably do another Mario Kart, they take the good they did with 8 and bring back the good battle mode and do right by it. I was very unimpressed with Wii and 7, so i'm glad 8 was as good as it was.
A single player mission mode like DS had would also be great, but i'm not holding my breath on that.
>>343453339
Gamecube launch was respectable. Luigi's Mansion, Super Monkey Ball, Rogue Squadron 2.
>>343453123
They only needed to add one battle map: Block Fort.
>>343452828
Mario Tennis on Wii U broke my heart.
>>343453321
Sunshine had fantastic water effects. Just sayin'.
>>343453394
Sadly almost no company thinks single player modes are a good idea anymore. For example Soul Calibur 2 and 3 had glorious amounts of activities even though fighting games are mainly multiplayer.
Then online happened and now companies think "You don't need these single player modes anymore because they were just for when you can't play with other people!" even though that's wrong, I'd still enjoy them between playing with people.
>>343453063
I have a soft spot for it more than 64, but it's the 3D Mario I grew up with the most. The blue coin shit is inexcusable, but I love the tropical vibe the game gives off and I think fludd worked.
I'd play it over 64, but i'd also play both Galaxy games over Sunshine.
>>343453678
Pretty much, who the fuck ever used the stupid donut or the skyscraper where everyone just fucks up and dies. And uh what was the fourth one? I don't even remember.
>>343453503
Yep, also Super Mario Sunshine. It was released within the first year of the Gamecube being out, so that was another home run for Nintendo on a first-year title.
Well, I loved it up until my sister "accidentally" deleted my save file when I was in the last like, hour of the game.
>>343443196
This is the first 6th gen game I ever saw and it blew my mind away. I watched some kids playing it in a store and the graphics and all the characters made my jaw drop. I even dreamt about the game that night.
GameCube was a brilliant console. Probably the last traditional console Nintendo will ever release.
And it was cute. Fucking thing had a handle.
>>343441461
Which ones DIDN'T?
>>343454278
Still not sure why it had a handle exactly. Not what I would call a mobile gaming platform.
>>343441461
Good art direction will always trump graphics.
>>343450675
Where's Halo and Halo 2?
>>343441461
I regret now owning a GC in its prime.
I was like every other normie and owned a PS2 instead, which wasn't bad by any means, but none of its game left a long-lasting impression.
>>343454234
I remember being a little worried at first, the GameCube was the 1st Nintendo console which didn't launch with a flagship Mario title.
>>343454295
Star Fox Assault
Though arguments can be made that was a bad game out of the gate.And I know this is blasphemy, but Thousand Year Door, while I love it, I find that the more I go back to it, the more I find annoying sections.
>>343454242
For me it was Luigi's Mansion. I even played it myself at some expo and just couldn't believe it. I was like how the fuck is this a game and not some kind of animated movie? It looked way too good to be an actual video game that you play in real time.
>>343444390
My favorite is Mario Kart Wii.
>>343454368
Nintendo were putting a lot of faith in localised multiplayer at that time.
They gave it a handle so you literally pick it up and carry around to your friends house.
>>343454496
Man fuck you I loved SFA
>>343443196
Why is this a webm? Nothing interesting happened.
Anyone have gc component cables?
>>343441461
sometimes i dream of a world where instead of the wii, nintendo made the gamecube2 (but anon the wii was the gc2! fuck off you know what i mean)
and had great sequels to all of their popular franchises like Prime and F-Zero, no need to dumb shit down, and Sakurai snaps out of his bizarro thinking and acknowledges the standard set by Melee and makes a true, decent sequel and
and mario sunshine 2
and another chibi robo that wasn't dumbed down
and a new custom robo

so many fucking things fuck nintendo

I always thought the lightning made the atmosphere shine so well.
>>343454496
I still maintain that the original Paper Mario is better than TTYD even though most of /v/ has always disagreed. It just has no annoying segments. Everything is fantastic. TTYD is a mix of fantastic and boring segments.
>>343454848
whoa.......
>>343454242
The Toonami review of Mario Sunshine was what got me, I remember that teleport effect into the levels being incredible looking.
>>343454682
Sorry anon. I loved SFA back in the day and I played it last year and it just didn't hold up well in my eyes. The arwing sections are too few and far between and the on land segments are awful. I kinda liked the story though, and the multiplayer, while unbalanced, was fun.
Honestly, they were on the right track with Assault, I don't think it's a good game, but it was a good blueprint. No way Star Fox is getting a game again now though, not after Zero. Shame.
>>343454725
Marth countered the UpAir from Fox, but Fox used the few frames of invincibility from ledge to not take any damage
>>343454674
Whenever I moved my Gamecube I just slid it into a backpack so the wires diddnt have anywhere to go either. Was I seriously expected to go stroll down the street with a Gamecube in one hand and a fistful of wires and a controller?
>>343454836
Interestingly, the Wii started off as an add-on for the GameCube. At the Nintendo were starting to experiment with weird-ass controllers (pic related).
It's interesting to think how different things would be if Nintendo had just release a GameCube 2 - a traditional console - and just offered the Wiimote thing as an optional interface like it was originally planned to be.
>>343455045
The original had impeccable pacing. TTYD did improve by giving partners more dialogue presence and making the battle system better, but i'm inclined to agree with you. I also don't think the original had a bad chapter, except arguably flower fields, but I even kinda liked that one.
I never owned Paper Mario 64 until 2003 either, when K-Mart had a closing down sale and I got it super cheap. I just rented it tons and borrowed it from a younger kid down the road a lot.
>there will never be another graphical leap like 64 to gamecube
>>343455259
I'll staunchly defend the Wii in a lot of ways, it had some fantastic games, but yeah, it would be interesting to see where we'd be now if it went down that way. The Wii definitely changed Nintendo, and not for the better.

>>343441461
Been playing a lot of gamecube emulated games over the past months, replaying a lot of fun games I've played before and some I've never played before such as Pikmin 1 and 2. I've been having a blast playing them all, Pikmin 1 and 2 were both a joy and I can't believe I missed out on them when I had a gamecube. Last one I played was Luigi's Mansion, short but sweet and also one of my first GC games alongside melee. Thinking of playing Wind Waker and Twilight Princess next, never did beat TP.
>>343455259
that's the world i want to fucking live in, is what it is.
Nostalgia.
The kiddies that grew up around the GC era are now one's posting on the Internet.
Also, these games weren't really getting much notoriety until LPers and YouTubers started talking about them.
Since Dolphin 5.0 came out I tried thinking of any Gamecube and Wii games I'd like to play.
There were literally none.
>>343455259
Oh those two Donkey Kong Bongo games bring me back.

>>343455625
So what you're saying is you have no fucking taste?
>>343455625
Are you sure? There's a lot of hidden gems on the console.
>>343455656
Yeah, I think Nintendo were trying to think of new ways to play games (although SEGA had already got there with Samba De Amigo on Dreamcast).
>>343444540
Nah Banjo is a game of its time
>>343455885
Most aren't even hidden.
Metroid Prime was flat-out one of the finest games of the entire generation.
It was the last good thing to come out of Nintendo, besides the Nintendo DS

Is this to imply other gen 6 games haven't aged very well?
>>343455534
No, I grew up with NES and later SNES and I think Gamecube has aged the best out of all of Nintendo's consoles. SNES is second.
Wii has generally already aged worse than Gamecube because a lot of games opted for a more realistic artstyle which doesn't look as good in SD with limited texture resolution. I feel like when I play Wii games I'm constantly squinting my eyes to make everything out. Of course there are exceptions too like Super Mario Galaxy which looks fantastic.
>>343455738
I didn't say that, Mr. Buthurt.
>>343445760
Due to cellular division you will age by one year.
The code of a game does not change over time. Games don't age.
>>343450734
He never implied they were good, he simply implied online is a snorefest most of the time, which it is. A lot of players are flat out retarded and even a lot of the "better" players use a very limited number of tactics and completely shit themselves when you notice that and don't feed.
>>343456406
Technology and code becomes outdated by the day. They age much faster than humans.
Games age. Everything ages.
>>343448782
>It payed off and for some reason with the Wii U they thought it would pay off again.
Honestly, there's a greater chance of a second Wii than a straight-up game machine being successful. After two such machines were mercilessly crushed by the competition, it pains me to say this, but I can understand why Nintendo doesn't want to go back.
>>343449278
This is a right opinion
>>343441461

Zelda, I'd agree. I replayed OoT recently and it's been fun, still a bit challenging at times.
I replayed the first few areas of Banjo Tooie one night, and the constant backtracking was ridiculous, I passed out from boredom. As a kid it was zero problem, but my brain cant handle that anymore.
As long as they don't break the convention of making Zelda game boxes gold as fuck then I'm buying this game.
>>343457387
I actually prefer Wind Waker to WWHD, HD has too much bloom and new shading makes characters look like clay dolls instead of cartoons.

Is Toadstool Tour that good? I like the arcadey golf Genre like Pangya and Hot Shots but I don't know why I didn't really get into Mario Golf.
I remember the N64 one had some pretty fun minigolf too, is that in Toadstool tour?
>>343457112
Wish I had gamecube component cables.
That said, i'm satisfied just playing it on my CRT.
>>343457010
Happens to every system. There's a period where the games are cheap, then the prices hike and never come back down.
>>343454942

I haven't played the others yet
Gamecube was the experimental era.
>FPS Metroid
>Star Fox on Foot
>Cel-Shaded Zelda with emphasis on Vehicular Travel
>Mario with the Water Pack/Island Gimmick
>Two-Man Mario Kart
>Smash Bros getting odd and obscure with stupid shit like Ice Climbers and Gay Man Watch
>Paper Mario Wrestling, Pirates, Gothic Pig Curses, Murder Mysteries etc.
They didn't feel like they had something to prove because they were neck-and-neck with the Xbox in terms of tech.
Thus they got whacky.
With the Wii they had to prove their concept of motion controls and thus the software suffered.
I know the PS2 copy had Dante, but I still go back to the Gamecube version of Viewtiful Joe very frequently.
>>343458470
Fuck, even games that didn't experiment much like F-Zero GX were fucking fantastic, it's kind of unreal.
>>343458631
>created an entire team of Nintendo, Sega and Namco employees just for ONE game
>>343458470
I completely agree.
Don't forget left-field titles like Luigi's Mansion, Pikmen and Donkey Konga
>>343454409
Technically they're also on PC, also can't believe I forgot to mention Gun Valkyrie
>>343458631
>>343458718
We will never have another F-Zero game that good again.
May never have another F-Zero period.
>All of the characters had a unique theme on top of the stage themes.
>>343458719
>Luigi's Mansion
I played through that game, not joking, at least 15 times in a row. Man I loved that game and back then being able to 100% a game all by yourself from memory was such a good thing.Also I must have been 8 or 9 at that time.
>>343458836
Well maybe the NX will be back to a era like Gamecube, they kind of seem to be experimenting with the new LoZ and we'll also get to see a new F-Zero.
>>343459027
>and we'll also get to see a new F-Zero.
You best be sourcing this shit right the fuck now
>https://mynintendonews.com/2016/06/30/dfc-nintendo-nx-may-capitalise-on-largely-ignored-kids-market/
NX is probably going to be gimmicky as fuck in any case
I don't understand why people get down on N64. It has some very fun games on it. Sure, other systems exist that have more fun games, but that doesn't magically make the N64's fun games not exist.
>>343459027
I appreciate the optimism anon, wish I could be there with you, but Nintendo has burned a lot of my good will over the past few years, and I had a lot for them. As it stands...i'll always have GX.

Sorry, meant to say
>so maybe we'll also get to see a new F-Zero.
not "and".
SNES > Wii U > GC > N64 > Wii > NES
PS2 > PS3 > PSP > PSV > PSX > PS4
Xbox > 360 > Shitty computer
6th and 7th gen were great for games. I actually felt the need to buy all the consoles. 8th gen has given me no reason to get any other system.
6th gen was especially good. PS2 and GC had amazing games, though I feel PC was a little lacking. The only must-haves from that generation on PC, I feel, are Cave Story and Touhou
>>343459507
Thanks for playing around with my feelings
they only age well because they get ported constantly
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Wgqf2qkLxk
>>343458917
I remember back when the GameCube was released, Nintendo was putting a lot of emphasis on shorter games with more replayability.
I think Luigi's Mansion and Pikmen were part of that initiative. Short but fun.
>>343459645
Resident Evil 4 gets ported constantly. The Wii version is the one I go back to on that one though.
Skies of Arcadia, Viewtiful Joe, Luigi's Mansion...nah, I have to hook up the Gamecube to play those, though i'd love HD ports.
>>343459680
Honestly it works. I still play those. It worked with some stuff on Wii as well. Punch Out Wii and Sin & Punishment 2 are probably 2 of my most played Wii games.
>>343459843
Punchout on Wii is such an underrated gem. Shame hardly anyone played it.
>>343454409
Everyone already knows about them, and they've been consistently playable on each gen of Xbox. CE and 2 are the only games I recall running on 360 with none of the horrible BC audiovisual issues. Plus then you have CE Anniversary, the PC editions of CE and 2, and the MCC.
>>343456584
Games don't age. They are exactly the same. Your memories of them age.
>>343460932
Thats a bullshit meme.
'Aged' is the wrong term. But older games can certainly feel 'dated'.
Christmas of 2004 was amazing. Paper Mario TTYD, Tales of Symphonia, and Mario Kart Double Dash
>>343457207
>7 used from $317
What the fuck?
>>343461617
Last good year. The 6 year period between 1998 and 2004 was imho the pinnacle of video games as a medium.
>>343442571
Perfect mix of good music, atmosphere, exploration and it doesn't have a tonne of cutscenes and fucking exposition shoved down your throat. You scan for the story if you want to or not. So comfy to play.
>>343462272
I think 1 struck the perfect balance, though 2 and 3 are still fantastic and have their moments.
>>343457207
>>343461716
why are these so expensive? For what purpose?
>>343441461
can Wii U play gamecube and wii games?
Going to sell my PS4 since I dont even play it and thought of the Wii U, saw today fatal frame and it seems nice and I fucking love survival horror games but also wanted to play some gamcube games I never had the chance
>>343462927
No the Wii U can't play GameCube games, but it can play Wii games
>>343462760
They have a custom made component in them that's just in theory been reverse engineered, yet to be reproduced
for component Gamecube output you're better off using a Wii, which you can hack to play ISO's off USB with pro controllers anyways
>>343462927
>Wii
Yeah
>Gamecube
Nah
I'd wait on getting a Wii U until a price drop inevitably hits soon. Gamecube's themselves go pretty cheap these days...it's the software that's getting expensive.
>>343462927
If you manage to hack the virtual wii backwards compatibility, you can load Gamecube game ISO's, but otherwise it can not play gamecube.
>>343462927
It does Wii, not Gamecube. Just buy an old Wii and hack it, ez gamecube games
>>343447530
Le shige pig
>>343444540
Zeldas yep, Banjo Nope, SM64 has aged way better.
>>343463459
I think Banjo Kazooie aged well.
Tooie...not so much.
>>343445368
Look at this fucking millenial...you make me nauceous..
.
>>343445342
By "age" we don't mean the game literally gets old and wrinkly you fucking autistic jar of elephant piss. We mean newer games become different over time, so it becomes outdated. This better be fucking bait, jesus christ.
>>343454836
> instead of the wii, nintendo made the gamecube2
A Gamecube 2 would of flopped and you know it.
>>343463534
Tooie is still pretty good if you emulate and use the 60fps cheat.
>>343463068
>>343463096
>>343463173
>>343463268
Sad to hear that
I had a Wii that I lent to a friend and he moved away and I just found out it has backwards compatability
I also wanted a Wii U just for fatal frame(im a sucker for horror games) but since it cant play gamecube games it'd be useless to get it just for one game
fuck me
>>343463894
the Wii flopped long term. it sold well financially but led the entire company down a path which, in the long term, has turned out to be a massive loss for nintendo because the casual crowd from Wii didn't stick around, and their scorned "core" crowd were still waiting for decent sequels to GC classics that never came.
in GC era they were strictly a dedicated games company that made dedicated game machines. the Wii changed all of that and they profited in the short-term for it. now they are struggling while Sony simply continues to do what they were doing on PS3 and has profited long term on all their consoles. hell they still made PS2 games until 2013.
>>343443196
This, honestly the 5th gen is the only one where majority of games feel badly aged and that's kind of understandable considering that 3D was a new thing back then and there weren't any established control setup standards. When 6th gen came, developers already had a pretty good idea about what works and what doesn't.
>>343464242
Technically the WiiU can emulate GC games but you have to hack it, and the Wii emulator (which has the GC emulator inside it) is more sensitive and prone to bricking than a normal Wii. Besides, Wii's go for like $100, just make sure you get a backwards compatible model.
>>343464242
Wii U will drop in price sooner than later, so maybe get it then.
For what it's worth, the new Fatal Frame isn't all that.
>>343441461
they haven't. in fact most from that era have held up poorly. psx era has held up better.
>>343466019
Some playstation games have aged very well, but not nearly as well as 6th gen games in my book.
>>343441461
Because exclusives made good use of the hardware for shit like graphics and/or framerates
>>343467475
>gba player
I still use that thing. I should track down some of those GBA cables sometime and get some Four Swords Adventures going with my friends.
>>343441461
List good GC exclusives, OP.
>>343467702
Not OP, but here's a few I liked
Metroid Prime 1 and 2
Paper Mario Thousand Year Door
F-Zero GX
Eternal Darkness
Pokemon Colosseum and XD
Super Mario Sunshine
Pikmin 1 and 2
Legend of Zelda Wind Waker
Mario Kart Double Dash
Luigi's Mansion
Super Monkey Ball 1 and 2
Animal Crossing
Legend of Zelda Four Sword Adventures
>>343441647
Except the GCN was the most power console of its generation if you take the Xbox's overhead into consideration and some serious work went into making first party Nintendo games look as good as they do
>>343467649
You should absolutely do that anon, and grab a copy of Crystal Chronicles if you don't have it already. Good times all around.
>>343466019
>tank controls
man, early 3D was a fucking mess
Anyone know the link to the /v/ netplay channel thing? I can't find it anywhere.
>>343469580
>man, early 3D was a fucking mess
Except for Nintendo stuff
How can modern games even compete?
Don't the component cables from Wii work for the gamecube as well?
>>343468158
Those were good games.
But were they better graphically in any way than the best looking games on the competitor systems?
>>343470140
No. You can play GC games ON a Wii with component, but the cable does not. The GC's cable was (is) expensive as fuck and had actual hardware on the cable itself.
>>343470248
Look better? Eh, a lot used art style to mask some graphical limitations. F-Zero GX is an impressive game in terms of look vs all the shit going on on screen and not chugging up. I also think Pikmin 2, Metroid Prime 1 and 2, and Pokemon XD are real lookers for the system.
>>343470490
Correct.
Original anon's argument was that GC exclusives aged so good because they made advantage of The Hardware.
>>343449514
I'm tempted to play this again with the undub. The english voices were fucking abysmal. I could take it during battle, it was almost lovably bad like some old PSX JRPGs, but any semi-serious cutscene just became a joke.
>DESTRUCTIVE POWECRYSTAL SHOT
>>343471000
>undub
What it is and how does it work?
>>343466019
nothing on PS1 looks even close to Gamecube graphics, what the fuck are you smoking dude
there's nostalgia and console-bias and then there's saying games on PS1 have held up visually by later standards. they haven't at all.
>>343471221
It's the english version of the game with japanese voices. There's an undub of baten kaitos up on kickass.to if you're interested, but I can't speak for how well it's being seeded.
>>343471249
That anon is crazy.
However, older graphics can look good if you are not picky and can tolerate low poly. It depends on your personal standards.
The graphical jump between the N64 and Gamecube was unreal, unparalleled even, if you exclude the hundreds of consoles in the 80s. Even the best of the best of titles at the end of the N64's generation did not begin to compare to what some of the early Gamecube titles were able to achieve in scope, smoothness and model quality. I played a lot of Mario games in the N64 and Sunshine, Double Dash and Luigi's Mansion blew my mind, and so did plenty of other titles.
>>343471762
there are gorgeous games on PS1 don't get me wrong (Suiko2 and FFIX come to mind), but the GC was even stronger graphically than the PS2.
>>343471710
I'll only be playing GC games in the future, so I cannot check either.
However, have to ask: is the TRANSLATION at least good? Because changing the voices does not change textual translation.
>>343467702
The list of BAD games on GC is honestly shorter than the list of good ones by a country mile. and of those bad GC games, most of them are shovelware to begin with
>>343471845
This looks like component vs composite.
>>343471921
Of course. I was just defending older games.
And, if GC was more powerful than the PS2 (which I heard many many times), where is the proof? The most visually impressive PS2 titles vs same for GC, and I see no difference.
>>343469734
Nintendo 64 stuff has pretty terrible camera control, but other than that they're still golden.
>>343472027
We talking exclusives or 6th gen in general? Because if 6th gen in general there were a lot of "me too" 3D platformers that...aren't good.
