/vr/ - Retro Games

Probably 15 years ago or so.

Few days ago, tried playing Burnout and Turok when I was super drunk. Couldn't figure out which memory card had my old save and had to start over, got bored and shut it off, then rewatched Only God Forgives.

About 5 years ago to try melee for the first time.
I got it the same year as xbox and I never played it because the games were expensive and generally shops weren't well stocked with them.

>>7446893
About 2 years ago, Timesplitters 2 ran like shit on my laptop.

>>7446893
maybe last summer. I need to get more GB/GBC/GBA games to play

>>7446893
Never owned one. Shitcube was the little brat's console of that gen while all the big boys were playing Chadstation 2 and Chadbox.

A few days ago, to play Advance Wars via GBI
>>7446974
lmao is there anything sadder than a console warrior two decades after the fact? maybe grow up and move on

>>7446974
>muh mature games for mature gamers such as myself

>>7446893
Last month. Elevate your GC above ground level.

Three or four years ago when I got the urge to play Paper Mario. I don't know why I didn't use my Wii instead. I think I just forgot that it plays GC games.

>>7446893
July last year. I moved to another city in August and I'm going to move again in the Spring. I'll unbox it at the new place.

I actually started building a complete collection this year.

Not pictured is Pikmin 2 which is coming in the mail soon, and Paper Mario the Thousand Year door which is defective sadly so I exclude it from bragging rights.

>>7447093
I feel the same way, I don't like using my Wii to play GC games
Call it autism or whatever, it just doesn't feel quite right
I also use the GB player all the time tho too so no regrets

>>7447121
are you gonna go after the "absurdly overpriced but not actually their own games" titles like Pokemon Box and the Metroid Prime/Wind Waker 2-pack? Either way good luck with the Cubivore and Fire Emblem level stuff

I sold my FE: PoR about two years ago for 140 bucks, which I thought was great but now it looks like it would sell for 250 or so
Oh well, I bird in hand is worth two in the bush or whatever

>>7447245
I live in Canada and believe it or not it's really easy to get good deals on games here. I order a lot of stuff from Quebec. Despite the province being French they got English games over there and due to the language barrier a lot of them don't understand the value in the stuff they own.

For example, I was able to get Eternal Darkness for like 20$ on ebay off a guy from Quebec. He wasn't even a boomer or anything just a French guy who was too lazy to google.

I think I could definitely find a similar deal on something like Fire Emblem if I looked hard enough, I've just been a bit lazy because it does take a bit of effort.

As far as stuff like the 2-packs I'll probably just ignore them. They'd be nice to own but way out of my price range, and finding good deals on them is nearly impossible because they're something only collectors would realistically own.

>>7446893
That's a good question. Probably a very long time. I think sometime around middle school I switched to using Wii for playing all my Gamecube games. But I might have taken the GC down to the basement to play the classics a few times in high school. So maybe 5-7 years ago? That seems like too recent though? Feels like it's been at least a decade. Nowadays I just use Dolphin.

>>7446893
Last night, playing Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes

>>7447083
Can leaving it on the ground cause overheating or something?

>>7446893
Last time I watched a DVD

>>7447245
FUCK Fire Emblem: PoR

My dumb 15 year old ass sold it to fucking gamestop after I beat it in 2010. My biggest regret in life so far

Mine stopped reading the discs like 9 years ago, it was around the same time I got a Wii so I wasn't really hurt about it

>>7446893
couple of months ago, for resident evil. i suck at it

>>7446893
I don't even know where my GameCube is. I have all the GC games I want to play on a hacked Wii.

I played tony hawk underground on it a few years ago but then I found a wii at goodwill right after

>>7447617
if youre 26 and your biggest life regret is losing a couple hundred bucks you must be batting pretty close to a thousand

>>7446974
>shitcube

>>7448105
so far yeah.
my life is pretty chill

>>7446893
I used it to play melee last week, and the other day I was using the gameboy player to play Zero Mission with the GB interface homebrew

I sold my cube years ago, but I played GC games on my wii just a bit ago

>>7446893
Are you saying you ever stopped playing OP?

>>7446893
Sometime end of last year probably. I should get around to beating Metroid Prime.

>>7446893
When DBZ: Buu's Fury came out. For GC games I use my Wii instead.

>>7446893
Just the other day so I could play some GBA games on it.

>>7446893
Not sure why I'd do that. I own a Wii.

>>7448898
Stop being poor

>>7447359
it's to avoid intaking dust/debris that gathers more readily on the floor. play it smart, anon. the power adapter should also be elevated.

Is playing gc games on gamecube slim counts? If so than today i played gotcha force.

>>7446893
A few years ago replaying paper mario. It's with my sister now because she also wanted to replay paper mario. I hope it is well.

>>7446893
Gamecube got kind of strong armed by the wii being two consoles in one.
Its hard to justify ever booting mine up now a days, mostly just use the controllers from it.
>>7446974
>He didnt have all 3
Begone consolewar fag, /v/ is two blocks down.

>>7446893
Sometime in late 2019 to play the Zelda Oracle games on Game Boy Interface. I just use a Wii with Nintendont for playing GCN games.

>>7446893
Been lately playing Phantom Hourglass on DS and got in the mood for some WW again.

>>7448910
What does that have to do with owning both a Gamecube and a Wii and recognizing that the Wii plays Gamecube games either exactly as well or in some cases better?

>>7446893
Never, since the Shitcube is a waste of space/money.
J/K. Definitely within the past year as I like to replay the Resident Evil library.

>>7446893
>That animal crossing town I haven't visited in years
I'm scared to go back.

>>7446893
I played through Gauntlet: Dark Legacy around two months ago.

>>7447245
PoR is worth that much? I had no idea, good thing I still have my copy I guess.

>>7449472
If it's complete and in good shape it can go for 250 bucks or so these days

Speaking of I still have my GB Player disk but I long since switched over to GB Interface so maybe I should just sell that too. I'd get like 80 bucks for it i think, which is whack when GBI is so much better

Probably when I lost it in 2008


Why bother the emulation on dolphin is so much better.

Haven't touched mine in years due to the fact I can't easily access my CRT, once I pick up one of those HDMI adapters I'll put it in rotation

>>7449380
>That trannimu shitpostter
I'm afraid for humanity

>>7446893
i use it exclusively for GBA honestly

the day before i hacked my wii probably

>>7447359
The air vents are on the side. If you have a clean house with non-shag carpet you will be fine.

2006. I was 8 so I probably did something stupid. Got the Wii a few months later so harm done.

Never had a gamecube, I bought tons of gamecube games for my Wii though. I think I have more Gamecube games than Wii games. I'd like to own a proper gamecube because it's such a satisfying shape for a console but there's no real justification for it when a Wii can basically do everything it can but better, and then there's emulation.

>>7446893
It's probably been 10 years or more bc of Dolphin, but 80% of the games I play are GC games

>>7449687
>He gets upset at reaction images
>On 4chan
Reddit might be more your speed.

Last night. Started Ocarina Of Time for the first time.

>>7447564

I haven't turned on the Transcube since the day I got a Gamecube Move in 2007. No idea if it still works

>>7450337
u mad bro?

>>7450381
>Transcube
The rent-free thing really isn't just a meme eh?

>>7446893
Yesterday, been playing metroid prime.

>>7446893
About half a year ago or so where I played some Melee and REmake briefly. Will probably boot it up in October to finally finish Eternal Darkness.

>>7451610
I bought a used one in the mid 00s so it's not "rent free" kek.

>>7451610

Maybe a couple months ago

>>7446893
i sold my GC to a friend when i bought a Wii near launch, so then

>>7446893
Some time before I sold it.

>>7446893
> When is the last time you turned your GameCube on anon?
I ditched it as soon the backwards compatible Wii came out, in fact I paid some faggot to take it from me.

I'm playing Baten Kaitos.

Two or so years ago. My little cousin loved to play Melee/Sonic Adventure on it.

>>7446893
Last week to test the lot of "for parts" gamecube mics I got on ebay
1 of them worked, the other have a ton of rust inside. Can probably salvage 3 of them. Nice.

I was chatting with a cute LGBT girl in online class last night. I saw a GameCube in her room, and we showed off our cats. I told her I like retro games.
Figured I'd drop by 4 channel dot org and mention this GC-related detail of my life.

Turned it on today for the first time in a couple months to use GBI.

Last night, i played doubles dash and mvp baseball 05. Double Dash is overrated as fuck and mvp 05 is still one of the better baseball games ever made.
