If anyone uses GOG for their old PC games, you can support the channel by using my link. Costs you nothing extra but gives me a little kickback.

Wow Conkers 2?? I would totally play that, actually most these games looked pretty good! Looking forward to part 2!

I regret not buying this back in the day. I remember my mom even offered to buy it for me and I said no. Not sure why.

Conker's Bad Fur Day is my favorite game of all time and I say this consistently. I would've loved to play Conker's Other Bad Day. Shame. Rare should roboot the game on todays consoles.

Almost a quarter to half of those cancelled games on the GameCube were RARE games cancelled due to Microsoft's purchase of the company in 2002.

Of course it would not have hurt too much other than the fact that these classic Nintendo emulated systems nowadays are being sold with all the classic games from the NES, SNES and eventually N64 retro classic systems minus the RARE games due to the License issue with Microsoft owning RARE.

RARE Reply is the only game on the XBox One that is worth getting due to this sad situation.

Loving these cancelled videos, working my way through them all. Nicely done, ;)

Starcraft Ghost was the game that deserves to be released. Other potential should be Raven Blade, Death Phoenix, Armada 2, Kirby Adventure and Dead Rush

As usual a well researched and edited video. It’s a real shame these games didn’t make it to release. Looking forward to part 2 mate. 👍👍

Gamecube was the last time Nintendo competed directly against Sony and Microsoft. ALL THEY HAD TO DO was make the gamecube disc the size of a dvd and have it hold 4 to 8gb of memory (like the wii and they would have killed it in that generation but for some strange reason they decided to go with a mini disc that held only 1.4gb!!! the gamecube was more powerful than the ps2 in every way but the disc!!! what a huge loss and then we go the shit console called the wii and that is it

It's a pity Starcraft Ghost never saw the light of day. Capcom's 5 was to good to be true, even when they announced they would 5 exclusive titles to the Cube. The games that were released are awesome, but we all know how it went: RE4 was later on released on PlayStation 2, although the GameCube version is superior in comparison to it's PlayStation 2 counterpart. The GameCube version of Resident Evil 4 has better lighting, better textures and texture resolutions, better colors and the GameCube pushed a lot more polygons on the screen (Resident Evil 4 on PlayStation 2 has 50% less polygons) Only the extra content made the PS2 version a good buy if you didn't own a GameCube back in these days. Furthermore, great video. Looking forward to the next video.

I Ninja was released in the US on Cube, never knew there was a Wii version. The "bongo" Wii game was DK Jet Race I believe?

[pirataga]

Awaiting eagerly for the second part video. I also would like to say that I really enjoy listening to your accent. It's very different from the ones I'm used to listening to 👍

[shahidify]

Awesome mate, really enjoyed the video!

[mtshark]

Awesome video Pete! I remember hearing about several of these titles back in the day.
