Skip to about 2:35 or so. 

I love this console but it's also the one that turned me into a REAL annoying Nintendo fanboy. 

There was a lot of XBOX-hate that 11-year-old me only really engaged in because I knew I had to pay for my own consoles due to our money situation (with lawn mowing money from mom and dad but still) and knowing GCN was the cheapest console. 

But I probably could have had a girlfriend a lot sooner if I hadn't been so passionate about it. 

I remember being jealous of how great Oddworld looked on XBOX, but in hindsight I'm not sure it's really my kinda game. 

I played a lot of typing games too, on account of my mom being the computer teacher when I was in 1st to 8th grade ... 

My best memories of this would be jealousy over all the games this got that didn't come to GameCube; like, how was Psychonauts not perfect for the GCN?!

I played Metal Gear Solid 2 when I was old enough and after my brother was done with it, then Guilty Gear X2 ensured Guilty Gear became my favorite fighting series when I rented it, and you can't forget that its success story was largely thanks to it being a cheap DVD player. 

So ahead of its time ... Never owned one, but it was doing a lot of stuff later consoles would only hop on board with much later. 

Awww yeah, now there's nostalgia! Also, that video looks like there's an early build of Star Fox 64 in it, which is neat. 

Man, you played a lot of games I never heard of on this thing. lol 

Mostly I remember PaRappa the Rappa commercials making me think the console was less powerful, watching my older brother play Metal Gear Solid, playing Driver 1 and 2, and basically just playing my N64 a lot more than my older brother's PlayStation. 

IS that Paul Rudd?

Commented a few.
