S-Zero

[aqualovesart]

Call it just me being me, but I think it really sucks that with F-Zero having such an interesting and diverse character line up and world begging to be explored more, and Nintendo just doesn't want to make a new actual game. Yeah we have F-Zero 99, but wouldn't it be fun if we got a new game on Switch or whatever new console may have in store in the future, in veins of F-Zero GX with a new storyline continuing from the last game and letting us explore more of the world and characters while also being a really fun but difficult racing game?

Also check out Characters-in-depth's content. He makes some really fun mostly video game based content.

Smashing Soul Tournament Fighter 11 - Captain Falcon 

》Fighter Entry 11《 The heroic bounty hunter from the Mute Capital. After a nearly fatal encounter with a powerful criminal, Captain Falcon was gravely injured! Laying on his deathbed, he was mystically given a second chance at life from the Heavens above. Thanks to the charity of the celestial being, the "Sol Phoenix", he was not only reborn faster and stronger but also granted the sacred powers of the "Holy Flame", special pyrokinetic abilities from the Sol Phoenix itself. Being an emissary of justice, hope, and love, He enters the Smashing Soul Tournament to find the criminal that once defeated him and serve him what he deserves. . . >Creators Note< Ya boi Falcon came out way better than I expected him to lol. I was worried there would be way too much orange and red, but the colors surprisingly blend together nicely and don't feel like too much. At first I was going to make the Phoenix feathers white but I figured that would be boring and looking at this now I'm glad I didn't. At first Falcon had this really overly complicated backstory that I won't get into, but some of the ideas I had from that back story I will probably use in another fighter. I had to go to the heroic route with him lol. The only F-Zero game I played was F-Zero GX a long time ago, so I don't really know his personality like that, (his theme from that game is incredible!) but as a kid looking at him from Smash, Captain Falcon always seemed like the Hero type to me. I think this all in all turned out awesome! 😃 if you read this far, thank you for reading! Up next is THE PUFF! .

#11 Captain Falcon He's the most famous racer from the F-Zero series and he carries quite a punch! The last time I played an F-Zero game it was back in junior high, a friend of mine had the Gamecube one (F-Zero GX if I'm not mistaken) and I remember having a blast with it's wide array of wacky characters and high-speed twisting race tracks, plus, the music is awesome! (I love the big blue theme) I can honestly understand why so many people want another entry for the series. When I unlocked Captain Falcon for Smash Bros 64 as a kid, I remember feeling a little bit confused and underwhelmed thinking "who's this guy? :/" (Same thing happened with Ness) but then I did a "FALCON PUNCH!!!!" and all was good in the world

The GameCube Collection

So we are up to the GameCube in what would be the chronology of collection introductions. What I’m trying to do with these collection introductions is get you guys familiar with my collection as it stands before we get any real finds. Like a starting point. With as much of a drought as I’m having while game hunting, this is turning out to be relatively easy. Even with several days between posts.

A little back story on the GameCube. You see, I didn’t have this in my possession even just a few days ago. I had bought it used in something like 2004 or 2005. Yes, I know it launched in 2001. You may have noticed this is a trend with me, I always get things a few years after release, I have never bought a video game console at launch.

Ever.

After getting a Wii in something like 2008, I thought well, I don’t really need the GameCube anymore since the Wii plays GameCube games. So I left the GameCube with my parents. My dad liked Mario Golf games and I had Toadstool Tour, so thought he may like to play it. I think he did play it for a short time, but then packed the GameCube up in the cabinet of my childhood home where all the other video games were always stored. There it sat. For what was probably 7 or 8 years.

I visited for Christmas just this last year. I had recently started getting an itch to play my old consoles again. So I thought I might see what they had left from all those years ago. I checked to see if the cupboard still had anything there. It did. My black DOL-001 sat right where I figured it would be. It was also sitting with my brother’s Platinum DOL-101, which was unexpected. I thought he still had it. Unfortunately, I did not see any games in the cabinet.

The thought crossed my mind to get the GameCube itself while I was there, but wasn't sure if it would fit in my luggage. See, I live 12 hours away, so we usually fly. Road trips are not often, it is not easy to take things home with me if they are much larger than say, an original Game Boy. Space becomes a premium. Especially for items like a game console that I would rather not stuff into checked baggage. At this point in time I was still only just thinking about pulling the Wii out again, I hadn’t yet, it was still packed in its box, but the thought of playing F-Zero GX or Mario Kart Double Dash again was enticing. In the end I decided to grab the memory card, and the two controllers that were in there. Those would fit in my luggage easily. The GameCube itself, despite being fairly compact would have posed a problem. So it got left behind. I could still play the games I had on the Wii. With any luck the memory card would still have some of my old save games.

After returning home, I could not find my collection of GameCube games anywhere. The only one I managed to dig up was Monopoly Party. Why on earth that is the only GameCube game I held on to out of the half dozen or so I did own I have no idea. I did pop it in to be sure the Wii, and the GameCube controllers and memory card were going to function as expected. They did. Excellent. Now, to see about getting back my old game titles.

Some weeks passed and this is where I had really started researching games and accessories for various systems, you know, because I’m a crazy person and want to start collecting for them all again. I had expected to find prices on GameCube games between $5 and $10 for most. Putting the missing collection back together I figured would cost perhaps $50. Boy was I wrong, I discovered everyone was doing the same thing I was doing, the demand was way up, and some games individually were upwards of $50. Super Smash Bros. for example. That game is still played a lot today in tournaments and other gatherings. So I quickly shifted to look for cheaper games on any system, and wound up purchasing the game in my first post, New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Really good game and I’ve played it a bit already.

In my searching, I ran across an item called Game Boy Player for the GameCube. Until just the beginning of this year I had no idea it existed. I said to myself, I want one of those, but would need the GameCube if I were to get one. No problem, I own one! It’s just not here. Plus, having all five of the consoles up to the Wii again would be nice. So considering the main reason I am trying to get it back is to be able to buy a Game Boy Player, I have looked into prices of course. They run north of $60 - $70 with the player and the disc. See a recently sold auction below. 

Ouch.

The listing has the GBP and disc. It does not have the correct disc case, or the manual. So, not even complete, and it still sold for nearly $70. So I am not so sure one will ever get added to the collection. At least not for that price. But if I get an opportunity on one, well, the package arrived, so I have the GameCube here. I’ll take any opportunity that arises, for a good price of course. $70? Hell no.

I contacted my dad and said hey can you send me my GameCube? He said you know what? We don’t use any of this stuff any more, I’ll send everything we have to you. It arrived yesterday. So without further delay...

Here is the GameCube. I know these console photos are usually further north in the post, but I had to fill you in on a little of the backstory it took to get it back. At least now the entire first five Nintendo consoles are back together.

It’s not in fantastic shape. Though the shot doesn’t show it, there is some dust in the logos and other recesses that will need to be cleaned. As well as a chip on the lower side of the front right corner, but it was used when I got it and has made some rounds since, so there are of course some dings and scuffs to be expected.

I remember playing Metroid Prime, F-Zero GX, Mario Kart Double Dash, Super Monkey Ball and Mario Golf Toadstool Tour very vividly on this thing. How some of those games were gone I do not know, I have no recollection of selling them, they are either in a very obscure location somewhere in my house, that I have not thought to look yet, or I sold or traded them for Wii stuff. Either way I regret losing them. F-Zero GX is actually the game that triggered me wanting to play these games again. So I blame that franchise for all of this. This Blog, my Twitter account (@oldnintendoner1), my son’s infatuation with Mario, the dent on the back of my car, the oil stain in my driveway, my dog’s gimpy leg, everything.

If we look at the prices of the games I remember having, Mario Kart Double Dash is a fairly valuable game these days, fetching upwards of $45. F-Zero GX seems to go for north of $25 most of the time. Monkey Ball, Toadstool Tour and Metroid Prime are $10 or so each, nothing special there, but added to the other two games, I’m looking at about a one hundred dollar bill to restore my old GameCube collection. Fortunately, two of the items in the package I received were games I remembered having. So not all of them went up in smoke, my parents held on to two of them.

Behold!

I know. Not F-Zero or Double Dash unfortunately. But, still two very fun games that will be going into the permanent collection. Rescued from being lost having been stored at my parent’s house. Very happy to have these back at the insane price of zero dollars. They are in great shape, both of them, and complete. Unfortunately Mario Golf is Player’s Choice. But it can’t be helped. Monkey Ball is Black Box, which is fantastic, I am partial to those. I will always try to get Black Box if I can. The only issues are some stickers. I may have to invest in some goo-gone. I hate stickers. Hate. Stickers. Ugh!

So the GameCube has Monopoly Party, Monkey Ball and Toadstool Tour complete in box behind it so far. With two decent shape controllers and a memory card. It is a good place to start, with a couple games to play in the meantime. Especially since I started with nothing but Monopoly Party. No controllers, no memory cards, no GameCube, nothing.

As for the box my dad sent, that isn’t everything he sent me. There is more in this little bundle than just my old GameCube. My dad sent me every bit of old gaming equipment he had there since I was showing an interest in it. It wasn’t a lot, but it was a nice little package. I’ll do another post here soon with what else was in the box.

Still no pickups or finds, we still have $83.09.
