GameCube games still look INSANE in 2024.

GameCube graphics still look amazing in 2024, and the evolution from N64 to GameCube is one of the most underrated leaps for console generations in gaming history. In this video, we’ll explore specific factors that contribute to the timelessness of GameCube visuals, and look at a ton of games that demonstrate these concepts. Metroid Prime, StarFox Adventures, F-Zero GX, Rogue Leader, Wind Waker – these games and more are all fantastic looking titles that hold up so well over two decades later.

Art style trumps graphics everyday. That’s why the SNES era games still look good.

Metroid Prime was absolutely incredible. The level design the gameplay the lore the sound. Few games have been such a complete package.

The sixth generation was this perfect sweet spot in time, it was before the HD era where budgets became too large for studios to consistently take risks, but computationally advanced enough to allow for all the rad experimentation we saw. Pikmin is to me the prime example, just so unique and there's still nothing like it to this day.

F-Zero GX still blows me away to this day. Looks great, sounds great, plays great. Timeless.

Damn, I never realized Gamecube ran most games at 60fps. That is actually really impressive.

The GameCube controller is still my all-time favorite. Having large hands cramping can be an issue, but I never had this problem with the GameCube controller. Perfect size and button layout.

Honestly it was Nintendo in their prime. What a great period of time to live through. I have such fond memories of the GameCube.

How could you forget about mentioning the Resident Evil remake and Resident Evil Zero? Those games looked almost photo realistic for my teenage eyes back then!

[ragnakak]

I think people are realizing we haven't really progressed that much from the PS2/Xbox/GC era, especially gameplay-wise

[mwisbroke]

Another thing that adds to these games is how smooth they are to play. Inputs are responsive and don't feel clunky.

[XRM]

I’ve played most Mario Kart games, and I still hold Double Dash as the best one of all. The feel, the maps, having two characters on board, the music, everything is just perfection.

[DRum]

To put into perspective how amazing Rogue Squadron 2 is, my dad is 75 and he will bring that game up and reminisce on how cool it was, but he could never beat the first mission.

[DistantKingdom]

still boggles the mind how the Gamecube performed so poorly despite having one of the most impressive lists of games under its belt even to this day

[Oceanandskylinevidss]

Eternal Darkness blew me away when i played it this year, its a gem of a game on the Gc

[Arwing]

Yes, 60fps. That was the standard on Gamecube and Dreamcast. Then Gen 7 & 8 came along and framerate was dropped for resolution. Gen 6 is my favourite console era.

[SamoelFilho]

The jump was absolutely insane between N64 and GameCube, it happened in every previous console in this generation.

[steventechno]

I remember being impressed with how fluid Blood Omen 2 felt on the GC vs the PS2. The GC Could have been an absolute bombastic success if they would have adopted standard DVD instead of mini-disc!

[geminijinxies]

The jump from the N64 to the GameCube is one of the biggest leaps in 3D graphics quality in history! And it won't happen again.

Edit: I'm only talking about game consoles that're using 3D accelerated graphics, and from one generation to the next!
So please don't mention something like the jump from Atari 2600 to PS5 Pro ;)
