Drinking game: Take a shot every time Derrick says "never been rereleased"

[JoshArtisto]

Gamecube was truly special. I sadly couldn't experience many games due to having to sell my gamecube shortly after I got it. But I did play some of the best games I've ever experienced: Pokemon Colosseum, Skies of Arcadia, Melee, and Custom Robo. And I really enjoyed Star Fox. There's something about that game that just gave me a strange good feeling.

[alexinabox]

The GVG crew are all amazing, but Derrick's long retrospective videos give me life

[datalphalion]

It is a scientific fact that calling the GameCube a “retro console” will instantly age up a person and give them long white beards and walking sticks.

[giratinaorigin]

Glad to see that TRG's playthrough of Four Swords is still the best captured, 4-player playthrough on YouTube, and that people want to use it for footage in their retrospective videos.

[RSiKyie]

Oh man I LOVED Custom Robo! Didn’t think I’d see that one on here since not many people know of it, thanks for the nostalgia 😊

[Rickywinterborn]

It makes me sad that a lot of these games haven't had much rereleases and would love to go back and replay a lot of them. Also would like to add Billy Hatcher and Gotcha Force to the list of games that weren't mentioned.

[guguig]

I love these kind of video. Thank you for your work Derrick, this is a trip down memory lane, and I appreciate it

[ViewtifulSam]

What a tour de force! The script is great. You managed to cram very good commentary about each game into few sentences. Bravo!

[johnsmith-ylem]

Loved PN 03! Not forgotten by me. Wish it had a sequel so much potential.

[ICharlyl]

I've been collecting a ton for the GameCube recently. So I'm loving all these GameCube content

[Crit_Nerd]

An odd omission from this list is Amazing Island. While it probably doesn't hold up now, it felt like an overlooked game for the Gamecube. It's a weird mix of games such as Pokemon and Mario Party. You make monsters and then you do mini-games. I remember being into making new monsters to try and find the best way to succeed. It would be great to play it again someday.

[newageBoundhippie]

there's a 1st party omission that definitely needs a mention: the sadly Japan only Giftpia. I'd also like to mention NBA Courtside 2002 ( the last licensed sports title Nintendo ever made, though they did have Nintendo Pennant Chase Baseball in development only to cancel it ) and the quirky pinball strategy game Odama ( which was created by Yoot Saito, the creator of Seaman on Dreamcast )...oh and Harvest Moon: Magical Melody, a seemingly often overlooked entry in the series that's a ton of fun to play

[VGAfanatic]

Here's a drinking game for this video: Take a shot every time Derrick uses the word "lauded."

[TophDaGreat]

You mentioned just about everything except Bloody Roar Primal Fury. Had so much fun with that back in the day.

[flameguy]

I will never get over the fact that the Wii U is fully capable of natively playing almost every GameCube game through its Wii backwards compatibility and Nintendo just never did anything with it.

[SleepyGraugans]

Thanks guys, this was a wonderful trip down memory lane. <3
And there might be a few games in there that I should give a try, if I get the chance.

[Klaxynd]

Oh yes! You mentioned Bomberman Generation! I wish more people would talk about Bomberman Generation... and Bomberman Tournament for the GBA.

[theonewhowrotethis]

I would also add Code Veronica X on the list since RE0-4 were on here, but this is a solid list overall! This will be great to share with those in my friend group who want to add more games to their collection.

Thanks for mentioning Custom Robo! That game is awesome!
