Name A Better Sound Than This? Than Stupid Iced Coffee? Nintendo Does It Better!
52I'm sure you've seen the video, shaking an iced coffee from Dunkin Donuts, asking if there could be a better sound. As someone who can't stand the smell of coffee, so I also can't stand the taste of coffee, to me this is an easy sound to top. Let's just look to the Nintendo GameCube for something vastly superior.
The Nintendo GameCube actually has three different startup sounds depending on what you do. The one that you hear playing in this video is the default GameCube startup sound if you do absolutely nothing. depending on how many controllers you have plugged in and certain button presses, you can also have the sound of a toy squeaking as the box rolls around to form the logo or the sound that femicom dojo has used forever in their intro if you plug in for controllers and hit a certain key combination.
The Nintendo GameCube definitely had a number of first for Nintendo. it was the first optical disc-based system that they offered. it was the first system that allows you to play Game Boy advance games on your television through the Game Boy player. In the US, it was the first Nintendo system you could play online with through an Ethernet or internet adapter. there were many first for this amazing console.
I currently own two different GameCubes myself. My wife got me a spice orange Japanese GameCube for Christmas back in 2017, and I have featured that console here on the channel many times. A few years later I actually picked up an indigo US console and unregion modded my Japanese version.
One thing that many people may not realize is that there is a secret within the menu music of the Nintendo GameCube. The slow notes that you hear, if you speed them up, it actually is the startup sound for the Famicom disk system! it's fun that they put this little Easter egg in to The GameCube, especially when most people outside of Japan had never heard the sound before.
there are many excellent titles for the GameCube library. Luigi's Mansion was a launch title and is fantastic, as is Star Wars rogue squadron. You also had Super Mario Sunshine, resident evil, Metroid prime, and many more.
what were your favorite GameCube games? what was your favorite GameCube accessory? sure your thoughts in the comments.
