I really miss Midway games...they always brought out something different even if it failed it was nice to get a "fresh game" from time to time.
100% agreed. Midway Games really took risks with their games, and provided some truly unique experiences. Thank you for checking out the video!
One of the best companies of all time midway had everything
Man! I'd never heard of Fire Blade, Army Men RTS, OR xgra Racing. You've widened my appreciation for the glorious cube
Glad you discovered some new games on the GameCube through this episode! That’s the point of these episodes, to highlight games that flew under the radar. Thanks for checking out the video!
Man poor Midway they truly did some stupid stuff and publish some garbage but they had diamonds in the rough like Freaky Flyers and Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance it’s sad the WB doesn’t really cares about Midway archives or story
Midway Games really made some unique games, and whether they were gems or not, I do love that they always took risks. Can't quite say the same about gaming nowadays sadly...
Thanks for checking out the video man!
Yeah they just wanted Mortal Kombat license despite having other major arcade classics and home console classics
@@emperortrevornorton3119 exactly like Spy-hunter, Narc,Freaky Flyers,The Blitz Series and others it’s insane how much they do so little with their IPs a Spy-hunter remake would be pretty good or at least a port
I’m a big fan of your stuff. The game cube was a big part of my childhood hence why I started making videos about it personally. I love seeing others passionate about the same things I am especially when they are so well made. Keep up the good work.
Thank you man! That truly means a lot!
Nice list! Well you did it again! You've made me add 4 additional games on my wishlist! When you mentioned that Winter Sports was a reminder of Track & Field on the NES, I didn't need to hear anything else as I used to own it back in the day and is one of my favorite NES games! An RTS game with Army Men? I had to know more but then I saw the footage and it looks fun! Sega Soccer Slam looks like an awesome arcade sports game and the fact that you can level up your characters via mini games reminds me of Virtua Tennis so I'm sold! Lastly I was surprised to be interested by this one but you've convinced me that I should give Freestyle Metal X a try by the variety of objectives in it! Great video and keep up the good work!
Thank you, Dan! Oh dude, International Winter Sports is one that does NOT get enough recognition, and cannot recommend it enough! If you're a fan of Army Men, and like some RTS gameplay to go with it, then you're in for a treat! That's a great point comparing Virtua Tennis to Sega Soccer Slam in terms of a career mode! Despite Freestyle Metal X's performance and visual issues, the gameplay itself was addictive. Really glad you enjoyed the video, and found some more games to check out!
Fantastic work as always! XGRA in particular looks like a really fun racer for a game night with a couple of friends. It's getting to the point where I need to win the lotto to retire and catch up on all of these incredible GC games.
Thank you man! XGRA is definitely a fun game night selection with some friends. Lmaoooo I’m still trying to win the lotto to finish my GC collection 🤣. Thanks again for checking out the video man!
Dude yes; we have so much the same taste. I got rogue ops last year, and I recently got freaky flyers and am absolutely loving the humor and dialogue in it!
Heck yeah man! Rogue Ops is such a neat stealth game, and Freaky Flyers is definitely an awesome game! Glad you got those and are enjoying them! Thanks again for checking out the video man! 👍
Great series, great episode. I thought I knew most of the games on the GameCube, I didn’t, thanks!
Thank you man! Glad you discovered some more GameCube games through this episode!
My moms friend’s kids had Freaky Flyers! I totally forgot about this one! You’re right! This is totally reminiscent of Diddy Kong Racings Flying sections! I’m a sucker for a a mascot-adventure/platformer and VEXX looks amazing! Army Men:RTS is so good! An RTS I feel newcomers can enjoy without being frustrated . SEGA! Soccer slam is on the top of my GC list to get right now! Was gonna grab it last time, but Skies if Arcadia came first lol Great list dude! I discover something new every time! Thanks as always for doing these videos! Stay awesome GCG!
That's awesome to hear about Freaky Flyers! Dude, immediately upon starting the first race, I was like "holy crap, it feels like Diddy Kong Racing's flight mechanics!" Vexx is a badass platformer for sure, and highly recommend it! Army Men RTS really surprised me since I'm not a big fan of the genre, but it was very approachable and forgiving for newcomers. Sega Soccer Slam would easily be something up your alley man! Skies of Arcadia was probably the better choice given its current value haha. Glad you enjoyed the video and list of games shown! Greatly appreciate you checking out the video man!
Another collection of games which look interesting. Might have to track down Freaky Flyers especially. Great coverage!
Glad you enjoyed it! Definitely check out Freaky Flyers if you can one day!
Dude playing Serious Sam Next Encounter local coop is A BLAST!! Fantastic list and video as usual dude!!
Yep I can relate. 👍 Extreme fun. Important local coop not online 😅
For me I meant on pc. Never had a GameCube bevore 2021
Thank you man! Serious Sam Next Encounter definitely is a blast, and this is one I want to play through entirely in co-op! Glad you enjoyed the video!
@@GameCubeGalaxy damn it we should have played that while I was in town!!
Thanks ... I have pulled these out of my collection to play now. Great stuff my friend
Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed the video, and pulled these games out to try 👍. I still need to catch up on your latest GC pickups video too!
Freaky Flyers! I just played that game tonight! It was fun! I liked it that each characters got their own storylines with humorous cutscenes. Each character got 14 cutscenes even if some are copy and paste or some with small differences and it's like 90 minutes worth of cutscenes. In my opinion, it makes going through story mode feel like a journey from the very first race all the way to the final showdown with Pilot X and worth it for each characters' storyline and humor. Plus it's really creative to have side missions in the races themselves to do to unlock boost rings and additional power-up slots to make it challenging and keep the player on their toes and learn to improve their skills and the stuff like Intestional Track, Torpedo Run, Pilot X Boss Fight and the bandito level does put on variety in the player's journey. It's indeed a pretty unique racing game. I am bummed out that it's not remastered or ported to modern consoles nor did it made it on the Xbox One/Series Backwards Compatibility list. You can play it on a backwards compatible Wii, backwards compatible fat PS3 or Xbox 360, but buying stuff like that might not be worth it to the average gamer with stuff like finding a functional console and copy of the game, memory cards, way to put it on the TV since most TVs now ditch the component and composite inputs and not everyone has access to a PC that can run Dolphin and that game fine enough. The game should've had a sequel and a TV series on a channel like MTV or Adult Swim due to it's sense of humor, to be honest. With many classic games coming back in some shape or form in recent years, I think Freaky Flyers should be one of them to be reintroduced just like Cel Damage, Toejam and Earl, Gex, etc.
100% agreed man! It was such a creative game, and the cutscenes were quite humorous! The cutscenes were the reason why the GC version was 2-discs, but I’m glad they didn’t cut that out for the sake of disc space! I am surprised it never got an HD remaster, as this would’ve been awesome (especially with some online play thrown in)! The mini-games/side-missions were a great touch as well. Thanks for checking out the video man!
Great selection here, haven’t even heard of some of these - and wow! Completely forgot about metal x!
Glad you enjoyed the video, and selection of games covered here! Freestyle Metal X really surprised me, and I was having a blast with it! Thanks again for checking out the video!
Fire Blade for the win of this lot 😄! I can’t believe the number of titles I never knew existed for the GameCube when I was literally at video stores every week and subscribed to Gamepro Magazine.
FireBlade is definitely one of those games I wish I played back then, but glad I could check it out now and highlight it for the viewers! Thanks for checking out the video man!
Dude I love Hidden Gem videos, just found some new titles in this one I'm gonna want to pick up.
Glad to hear it man! Greatly appreciate you checking out the video, and feel free to check out the other Hidden Gems videos on the channel if you haven't yet!
Your lists are incredible ive never played any of these
Thank you man! Glad you’re really enjoying the list, and learned about the games in this episode!
Great vid my friend. I always thought Vexx was a fun and unique game!
Thank you man! Vexx is such an underappreciated game!
Now I’m interested in that ESPN game and afire Blade. Nice work!
Awesome! Definitely recommend both, as they're both on the cheaper side too! Thanks for checking out the video man!
Thanks for this nice compilation. I added 5 games to my "check it out later" GameCube games list ;-)
Oh awesome! Glad you enjoyed the video! I'm curious, which 5 games caught your attention?
@@GameCubeGalaxy Rogue Ops, Freaky Flyers, XGRA, Vexx and Sega Soccer Slam. I skipped Fire Blade, ESPN Winter Sports 2002, Army Men RTS and Freestyle Metal X because those genres don't appeal to me, and also Serious Sam because I suck at FPS with a controller and prefer to use mouse and keyboard.
Since I have a GBA Everdrive, I'm also going to try connecting a Game Boy Player to a GBA with a 4 player link cable to try out some Single Pak Multiplayer games that only require one cartridge (there's about 90), I'm just waiting for the cable to arrive ;-)
@@wettuga2762 Awesome man! And very cool idea to try out some single-pak GBA multiplayer games that way 👍
I absolutely loved Rouge ops. A strong female lead , even with small flaws it was great. Also I loved metal arms glitch in the system.
Rogue Ops really surprised me, and look forward to going back to finish that game in the near future. Metal Arms is one of the greatest Hidden Gems on the GameCube (which I actually featured in my "Top 10 Hidden Gems on the GameCube" episode)! Thanks for checking out the video!
I came here looking for GameCube games lol and ended up finding a good amount of these are on original Xbox, which is starting to grow my Xbox want list with more and more additions
Haha at least you found new additions to get regardless of platform! Yeah, several of these videos have a good amount of multiplatform titles in them, but I still try to cover several exclusives throughout these episodes too 👍. Thanks for checking out the video!
Those physics were ahead of its time @17:10
110% they were! 😂
Nice picks Marcello!
Thank you, Mark! Glad you enjoyed the video man!
RTS looks awesome! I love those types of games!
It's definitely a cool game, especially being part of the Army Men universe!
I love the Army Men series. I'll have to check out RTS
It's definitely worth checking out if you're a fan of the series! Thanks for checking out the video!
If they haven't showed up before, might I suggest Bomberman Generation and Bomberman Jetters? I'm more partial to the former, but also it was a GCN exclusive title and Jetters was GCN exclusive in the west at least, overseas it had a PS2 counterpart as well.
Both have full cel shaded and colorful visuals, and complete 3D adventures with a lot of exploration and secrets to uncover, and of course they have Battle Mode with plenty of fun stages and unlocks + extra modes to enjoy , Jetters is even unique in that it features multiple playable characters each with their own super attack you can pull off by filling up a meter.
I put quite some time into those two games, felt it was worth mentioning them.
Oh definitely! I actually featured Bomberman Generations in my "MORE Hidden Gems on GameCube" episode, and really enjoyed that one! Bomberman Jetters is another I plan to mention in an upcoming episode later this year actually. Glad you mentioned them, and appreciate you checking out the video!
how does your footage look 4k enhanced? great video and amazing quality emulation you got there
Thank you man! I use the EON GCHD paired with an mClassic, all running off of my original GameCube. Really provides awesome visual quality! Appreciate you checking out the video!
Id like to see someone pick up the Xtreme G franchise again now that we actually have the graphical horse power to support the idea. I loved them back in the day nonetheless, they just lacked that extra level that we can do these days that would really set it off. Much like Armored Core. Vexx was also a great game for its day, though I dont see a remake for that being a thing.
Oh man, it’d be awesome if the Extreme-G license fell in the right hands to bring that franchise back! Vexx is another one that I really got hooked into, and felt was a shame it never sold well. Definitely a fun platformer. Thanks for checking out the video!
I love Vexx so much! It's very challenging and engaging for a collectathon 3D platformer, and while the difficulty can be rather absurd at times, it's still plenty of fun to play and just mess around in. Warning: Do not go for 100% completion in Vexx if you value your sanity. It's a pretty hair-splitting achievement from what I've heard.
It really is such a good game! I’ll keep that in mind when I revisit it to finish the game. Although, I’m also now intrigued on how challenging it is to get 100%! Thanks for checking out the video man!
Thank you for your very good time.😊ありがとう👍
I think XGRA, Vex and Soccer Slam are the only ones I know of, at least by name. There are more games on this cube than I ever expected.
The GameCube may have had the least amount of games for the 6th-generation, but it had a ton of games that I think many never realized released for it. Thanks for checking out the video man!
Me a gustado mucho el vídeo.
Saludos desde España.
Coleccionista de GameCube.
Poco a poco voy comprando juegos NTSC.
Still haven’t stumbled on my favorite game for the GameCube. Hint. Dikdik van Richard 😂
🤣
I played Rogue ops when I was very young. I remember beating the game and enjoy my playthrough...and Nikki is pretty easy on the eyes
Awesome! And yes, agreed about Nikki haha. Thanks for checking out the video man!
Sega soccer slam was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Agreed! Thanks for checking out the video!
I believe several of these were never even released in Europe. I did hear about the Freaky Flyers game, but never have I seen it in real life let alone played it. The 3-on-3 football ("soccer") game I haven't even heard of. But yeah, mariachi's attacking your fort and headless screaming running guys with bombs for hands in a colourful fps with local co-op (where you could shoot your partner to steal their combo, ifI recall correctly), it really was a different time for games, and often better for it. Without saying we don't get good games nowadays though.
Agreed 100%. It was a different time for games, and honestly, a far better time. A lot more creativity and risks were taken, and many of these games had soul to them. Thanks for checking out the video man!
In addition 😂 best gaming line in decades😅 from Freestyle Metal X
“Come on baby, show me the pipe!
Complete 5 loops inside that big drainage pipe.
LMAO! I HAD to include that line.
Sega Soccer Slam is a great game. Gameecube is a great console, early to late 2000s had some of the most fun games.
Sega Soccer Slam really is a great game! 100% agreed about the GameCube, and still provides some of the greatest gaming memories for me. Thanks for checking out the video!
@@GameCubeGalaxy I still have my original GC and games. So many great memories with friends back in the day.
@@renslo689 That’s awesome man! Definitely hang onto that GC and games, as well as those memories made!
@@GameCubeGalaxy Definitely will. Only way to play Fzero GX because Nintendo won't make a new one haha. I subscribed to your channel and will be sure to check out your other vids
@@renslo689 Lol very true! Still wish they’d at least do an HD remaster of it on the Switch! Thank you so much for subscribing, and hope you enjoy the other content on the channel!
I knew about Sega Soccer Slam but I've never actually seen anything about the game and despite being Soccer which is a sport I do not like, Sega Soccer Slam looks awesome and stylish for being a soccer game and Serious Sam Next Encounter looks badass and even more awesome for being in genre that again I'm not the biggest fan of. Thankfully Sega Soccer Slam is super cheap, even more cheap on Xbox. Next Encounter has gone up a little bit but hopefully I'll get it before it becomes a $100 game. Either way, Great Episode as always GameCube Galaxy.
Sega Soccer Slam is such a great game and can't recommend it enough! Same goes for Serious Sam Next Encounter, which I was having a blast with. Glad you enjoyed the episode man!
I saw XGRA on the thumbnail and had to click. That was a great racing game and it sucks that the Extreme-G series is dead now that Acclaim is defunct.
Glad that caught your attention to watch the video! It really is a shame that was the last we saw of the Extreme-G series...
man so many of the games I just wish we could get re-released ... though yay baten kaitos coming back!
For sure! I still need to try Baten Kaitos, but I'm glad it's getting a remaster! Thanks for checking out the video man!
@@GameCubeGalaxy it's a weird WEIRD rpg with some weird cards and functions, I'd be curious as to your thoughts when you play em, especially since GC had a dearth of RPGS
"Moggles" lol Don't forget your goggles before you hit the moggles!
🤣
Vexx FYI: one Wrath Heart clue/information is only in the instruction manual of the game. Nothing in game will help you get it.
Oh that's interesting! Almost reminds me of the back of the CD case of Metal Gear Solid to get Meryl's Codec number. Thanks for sharing that info, and for checking out the video!
Picked up Rogue Ops a year or so ago cause it just felt right. Was laughing at Nikki's side step animation though. Not a bad game at all and gave me Tomb Raider vibes. I was looking to pick up Freaky Flyers since it's cartoony nature feels at home on the Gamecube. Unfortunately the GC of it tends to be a bit more on the rare side compared to the Xbox, PS2 versions. Vexx despite trying hard to be dark and edgy is still a fun 3D platformer, definitely feels right at home on the Gamecube!
Rogue Ops is definitely a fun one! I agree that it has some old-school Tomb Raider vibes. Definitely recommend getting Freaky Flyers on any of the platforms, as it’s such a cool game! It definitely feels like something the devs had a blast making. I also fully agree about Vexx! Thanks for checking out the video man! Greatly appreciate it!
Boah thx, army man looks nice
Glad you enjoyed the video, and interested in Army Men! Thanks again for checking it out!
I only got to play the GameCube in a kiosk in my local mall when I was like 7
There’s always time to get another opportunity to experience this awesome console! 👍 Thanks for checking out the video!
Man, how do you get that level of clarity in your captures? I have an EON it looks good, but not to the level that you have displayed in your video.
Haha thanks man! I use the EON GCHD paired with the mClassic adapter. 👍
Vex always reminded of soul Reaver
I could see why! Thanks for checking out the video!
Rogue ops could do with a remaster or remake in unreal engine 4 or 5 while retaining it original level design
That would be awesome to see Rogue Ops brought back nowadays. Thanks for checking out the video!
Woo made it first to the comments! Nice vid Mister Galaxy!!
Nice! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Next Level Games was founded by Black Box staff so Mario Strikers is really a spiritual sucessor to sega slam
That’s right! You can also tell from Strikers that Sega Soccer Slam was their footprint 👍. Thanks for checking out the video!
Man I never even knew what freestyle metal x was just because how awful that boxart is.
The boxart for Freestyle Metal X is pretty bad for sure, but it definitely became a case of "don't just a book by its cover"...or in this case, a "game". Seriously though, despite its visual and performance issues, there's a lot of fun to be had with it! Thanks for checking out the video!
I wish freaky flyers came out in the uk but unfortunalty it did not 😢
Fire blade is basically chopper attack 2
I actually never played Chopper Attack on the N64, but I need to check it out after hearing this. Thanks for checking out the video!
TIL: Super Mario Strikers is Sega Soccer Slam with Mario and Waluigi
rogue ops cold
DGR sent me
That’s awesome! I’m actually not familiar with DGR, but am intrigued to check out their content! Would you mind sharing a link to their channel (or even content where this channel was referenced)? Thanks again, and appreciate you checking out the video!
@@GameCubeGalaxy @DGR_Dave mentioned in one of his live streams that he loves your content!
@@jamesschallert9479 I’m honored to hear this! I will definitely be checking out his content! Do you remember which stream he mentioned my channel?
