[Note: This video and description were originally posted on Youtube on November 30, 2018.] This is part 1 of my capture of me playing through The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker for the GameCube. I'm playing the game in progressive scan mode using an actual GameCube (not the Wii). Here's a playthrough that several people have requested. I have always been a huge fan of the Zelda series dating back to the original NES games, but when Nintendo first showed off The Wind Waker (in 2001, I believe) I was upset for the first time at the direction the series had taken. I absolutely loved Ocarina of Time and the Zelda tech demo that Nintendo had shown off for Space World 2000, so I naturally expected that the upcoming GameCube Zelda title would be styled after the Space World demo. As everyone knows by now, this did not happen. When Nintendo first showed off The Wind Waker's art style, there was massive backlash the likes of which Nintendo had never seen before (and which Nintendo would later experience with the Metroid series). I was among the people upset at The Wind Waker's art style, not because Zelda was supposed to be serious or anything like that, but because I felt that it just plain looked ridiculous and lame with Link's oversized head and anime eyes. To this day, I am still not a fan and wish "Toon Link" had never even occurred. I actually considered not buying The Wind Waker, but I relented a little while before its release and decided to give it a try. Also, because Nintendo offered an amazing preorder bonus by way of the Ocarina of Time Master Quest disc (no doubt to counteract the backlash), I preorded the game as well. Ultimately, I ended up enjoying The Wind Waker, although I felt it was way too easy and that the ending was stupid. To me, it did not come close to matching Ocarina of Time. Interestingly, once The Wind Waker was released, there was a heavy amount of criticism regarding the sailing, with some people claiming that it was boring. That was actually not my first impression of the game since I felt that there was some sense of exploration with the sailing mechanic. I also felt that other mechanics were enjoyable, such as sneaking past guards. According to my save file, it seems that I haven't beaten this game since 2009, so I suppose this game will feel a bit fresh to me after nearly a decade. Just like with all my other Zelda games, I own the Official Player's Guide for The Wind Waker, so I'll be using that to complete this game efficiently. I'll also be keeping track of the heart pieces that I collect in each video. In this first part I started a new save file, rescued Tetra, and obtained a sword and shield.

This is part 5 of my 100% playthrough of Wario World for the GameCube. I'm playing the game in progressive scan mode using an actual GameCube (not the Wii).

This is part 4 of my 100% playthrough of Wario World for the GameCube. I'm playing the game in progressive scan mode using an actual GameCube (not the Wii).

This is part 1 of my 100% playthrough of Wario World for the GameCube. I'm playing the game in progressive scan mode using an actual GameCube (not the Wii). I've been a fan of the Wario series since it debuted as Super Mario Land 3 on the Game Boy. However, once the series started morphing into more of a puzzle platformer (Wario Land II) instead of an action platformer (Wario Land, Wario Land Virtual Boy), I began to lose interest and stopped buying the games. Sometime after the GameCube was released Nintendo showed off Wario's first 3D game, which was called Wario World. I had seen a bunch of other series go 3D, so I was interested to see how this would turn out. I got Wario World along with Mario Kart Double Dash for Christmas of 2003 and proceeded to beat the game in probably a day or two. Although the game is decent, it's really, really short. As a result, there isn't much replay value, and I only tend to beat the game every few years or so, similar to Luigi's Mansion. However, the music is pretty good and Wario's catchphrases are hilarious. The game has a fixed-camera 3D style similar to Super Mario 3D Land and Super Mario 3D World. It also seems to take some inspiration from Super Mario Sunshine by having 3D obstacle courses to complete inside of levels. These are similar to the no-waterpack levels from Sunshine. I really like those parts. Unlike Mario Sunshine, this game actually runs at 60 fps, which makes for really smooth gameplay. The graphics are fairly impressive too. In this first part I completed all the levels in Excitement Central. These stages were not completed back-to-back in a single session. I edited together the successful runs for a single video.

[Note: This video and description were originally posted on Youtube on September 6, 2017.] This is a capture of me and a friend playing through the 150cc All Cup Tour of Mario Kart: Double Dash!! for the GameCube. I'm playing the game in progressive scan mode using an actual GameCube (not the Wii). I'm player one (Luigi) and Drew is player two (Toad). I haven't uploaded the All Cup Tour of this game yet, so I decided to do something special for that. In this video Drew and I raced cooperatively on a single kart with me driving and Drew gunning. One of the unique and best features of Double Dash is the fact that you can have two people racing together on a single kart. This allows the second player to handle items, ram other players at any time using L and R, and power up mini-turbos. I always loved racing cooperatively back in the day with friends and family because other people didn't have to worry about driving. I hadn't played this game in a while, so I was a bit rusty in the first few races, but I started getting used to the physics once again in the later races. Drew definitely did a great job as a gunner here. We had some exciting moments, so I hope you enjoy the footage.

This is a capture of me playing through the 150cc Special Cup of Mario Kart: Double Dash!! for the GameCube. I'm playing the game in progressive scan mode using an actual GameCube (not the Wii). I received this game back during Christmas of 2003 and played through it countless times (like all the Mario Kart games). Double Dash doesn't rank very high on my favorite Mario Kart games list, but it is enjoyable, especially if you use two players on a single kart. Bob-omb Blast mode is also great. I like to use Luigi and Yoshi (my two favorite characters in every Mario Kart game) even though they get knocked around by the heavier characters.
