Podcasts about GameCube

Read transcriptListen up, mutation enthusiasts and multi-platform adventurers, because this week on Play Comics we're strapping on our Kevlar suits and diving straight into the bewildering, beast-infested, cross-console chaos of X-Men: The Official Game! We're talking about the 2006 game that launched on practically every system known to mankind (GBA, GameCube, Nintendo DS, PS2, Xbox, and Xbox 360. Seriously, did they forget a platform?), which based the story nominally on the third X-Men film from Fox. You know, the one that showed us what happens when Professor Xavier and Magneto finally decided to outsource their beef settlement to a video game developer. This particular romp through Marvel's merry mutant universe was brought to you by the folks who looked at a film featuring Wolverine, Nightcrawler, and Iceman and thought, “What if we made this game SLIGHTLY different on each platform?” It's like they were challenged to see just how elastic the definition of ‘the same game' could be, and frankly, the results are beautifully inconsistent. The story was co-written by Chris Claremont (yes, THAT Chris Claremont) and Zak Penn, and it featured voice acting from the actual film cast, which means you got Hugh Jackman's growl in your living room, your handheld, and probably also your neighbors' living rooms at 2 AM. Joining us to make sense of this portable and stationary pandemonium is none other than Alex Zalben from Comic Book Club, a weekly live talk show about comics that's been running since 2006, performed at every major comic convention you can think of, written up in the New York Times more than once, and hosted literally hundreds of guests with more swagger than most podcasts muster in a lifetime. Alex is a writer, editor, and podcaster who knows his way around both four-color storytelling and video game adaptations, making him the perfect guide to help us determine whether this cross-generational, cross-console adventure managed to capture what makes the X-Men actually work, or if it just made us wish we could teleport away from our screens. So sync up your Danger Room protocols, pick your favorite handheld or home console, and get ready for an episode that's guaranteed to be more chaotic than a Sentinel factory explosion and infinitely more confusing than trying to figure out why THIS game exists on THAT console! Learn such things as: Who thought it was a good idea to put this on so many consoles? Is it possible to get that team feeling when you're playing solo? Is it better to look at this game as a sequel to the 2nd movie, or a prequel to the 3rd movie? And so much more! You can find Alex on YouTube @ComicBookClub and of course Comic Book Club Live.

But I did like it. A lot. (Please don't hurt me Undertale fans.) This episode is, surprise surprise, all about Undertale, an RPG where you can complete the entire adventure without killing a single soul...or you can kill everyone if that's your fancy. It's up to you (or me in this case) to decide what kind of tale you want to tell. Spoilers: I went the pacifist way. Anyway and as always, thank you for watching or listening, I hope you enjoy this here episode, and I hope you have a wonderful wonderful rest of your day.

O GameCube pode não ter sido o videogame de maior sucesso da Nintendo, mas nem por isso o console deixou de receber ótimos jogos, que em sua época impressionavam. Felizmente, demonstrando a qualidade dos títulos do pequeno cubo, hoje separamos alguns de seus jogos que ainda são bons de jogar. A dificuldade foi separar só alguns.Edição por Gabriel Andrade.

Great news for the Game-Key Card haters out there, the latest Switch 2 sales figures, tons of Metroid and Dispatch chatter, a look at my anime slate for Winter 2026, thoughts on the new Knives Out movie...we got it all and MUCH more.

Read transcriptAttention, galaxy defenders and neuralyzer-dodging citizens! This week on Play Comics, we're suiting up to tackle Men in Black II: Alien Escape, a title that hit the PS2 and GameCube with all the grace of a cockroach climbing out of a dumpster. We are looking at a game that saw the plot of the second movie, shrugged, and decided that what the franchise really needed was a run-and-gun shooter where Agent K looks less like a grizzled veteran and more like an Elvis impersonator midway through a bad Vegas residency. Joining us to figure out why the Class 7 Ozone Demogrifier sounds like a vacuum cleaner you'd buy from a 3 AM infomercial is the omnipresent Doug Fink. You know him, you love him, and you can hear him on Walloping Websnappers, Novel Gaming, Falling with Style, and Skreeonk, all of which are on the Glitterjaw Podcast Collective. Together, we're diving deep into a game that proves you don't actually need the likeness rights to your main characters to ship a product, provided you have enough aliens to splatter across a corridor that looks exactly like the last five corridors you just ran through. So put on your Ray-Bans, check your memories at the door, and prepare for an episode that makes about as much sense as putting a Ballchinian in a post office. Learn such things as: Is it possible to base a game on a movie while simultaneously ignoring 90% of the things that happened in said movie? How many times can you fight the same boss with a slightly different color palette before you start rooting for the destruction of Earth? Can you even compare this to the comics or should you just compare it to the movies? And so much more! You can find Doug on BlueSky @ickybooley and of course all of his wonderful shows on the Glitterjaw Queer Podcast Collective, Walloping Websnappers, Novel Gaming, Falling with Style, and Skreeonk. If you want to be a guest on the show please check out the Be a A Guest on the Show page and let me know what you're interested in.

Welcome to Episode 149 of Nintendo Therapy! This week Kevin, Harrison, and Shawn dive into the launch buzz surrounding Metroid Prime 4, tackling the ongoing Amiibo controversy, gameplay impressions, soundtrack debates, and the mixed critical reception landing the game around the low-80s on Metacritic. Kevin shares his thoughts on how Nintendo can better balance Amiibo value, Harrison weighs in on the internet discourse surrounding reviews and expectations, and Shawn offers early impressions on the visuals, controls, and overall feel of Prime on Switch 2—even as he explores other pickups like the Red Dead Redemption upgrade and Marvel Cosmic Invasion. We also discuss what the future of the Metroid franchise could look like and whether Prime cements the series as a permanent 3D staple.#NintendoTherapy #MetroidPrime4 #Amiibo #Switch2 #NintendoPodcast #GamingDiscussionIn our spotlight segment, we celebrate the legendary Soulcalibur II—a genre-defining 3D fighter with razor-sharp combat, massive appeal, and one of gaming's most beloved crossovers: Link on GameCube. From accessible mechanics and unforgettable Weapon Master mode to its place in early 2000s gaming culture, we break down why this classic remains a fan favorite and how its legacy still resonates today. Plus, we touch on Shawn's longtime love for the series and what Nintendo's relationship with Soulcalibur has looked like over the years.#SoulcaliburII #LinkInSoulCalibur #RetroGaming #FightingGames #NintendoHistory #SidepanelNetwork

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we begin a new series on 2001's Pikmin. We set the game in its time and then spend a lot of time talking about putting Nintendo's spin on the RTS on a console.

This episode is all about Rage 2, an open-world first-person shooter, which "brings together two studio powerhouses--Avalanche Studios, masters of open world insanity, and id Software, creators of the first-person shooter--to deliver a carnival of carnage where you can go anywhere, shoot anything, and explode everything."

Read transcriptDust off your cowabunga collection and prepare your fists for some serious turtle-powered mayhem, because this week on Play Comics we're diving shell-first into TMNT: Mutant Melee, the 2005 arena-based fighting bonanza that took the 2003 animated series and asked the most important question: what if we just got all the turtles, their friends, AND their enemies into one room and let them beat the absolute snot out of each other? Developed by Konami for PS2, Xbox, GameCube, and PC, this isn't your typical one-on-one fighter—it's more like if Smash Bros and Power Stone had a shell-covered baby and that baby knew all of Splinter's teachings. Joining us for this body-slamming brawl is the incomparable Tommy Proffitt from Distant Echoes and Lee Carvallo's Podding Challenge, a podcast wizard who understands the intricate art of dissecting character-based chaos and canon coherence like few others can. Plus being able to bring his signature blend of gaming nostalgia and comedic precision to help us determine if this colorful chaos simulator managed to capture the spirit of its source material or if it swung its nunchucks at empty air. Together, we'll navigate the treacherous waters of Last Man Standing mode, contemplate why anyone thought having 22 playable characters was a good idea, and investigate whether the game's holiday-themed cosmetics (seriously—set the date to December 25th and watch the turtles rock Santa hats) are feature or bug. Learn such things as: What does it say about a game when its best feature might legitimately be the ability to unlock the original arcade game inside it? What's the difference between a party fighter and a fighting game that doesn't know what it wants to be? Can the 2003 cartoon's tone can survive being translated into “everyone fights everyone all the time? And so much more!

Number 1001I'd love to say the next 1,000 episodes will be different from the last, but we all know how it goes. Lots of jokes, plenty of stupid conversations, plenty of pop culture chatter, and a heaping helping of Nintendo news. Hope you can stomach it all!

Online game design veteran Raph Koster recently posted a new piece about how he thinks about game design, which got us talking about the history of online multiplayer, so then we figured, why not talk about that subject in a (slightly) more comprehensive way on this podcast? So that's what we did this week, dipping into topics like pre-TCP/IP network gaming, the early video game consoles' various half-baked online solutions, how Ultima Online and Star Wars Galaxies were both way ahead of their time, how much the infrastructure has evolved for facilitating multiplayer -- and how expected it is as a feature these days -- and plenty more.Koster's new piece: https://www.raphkoster.com/2025/11/03/game-design-is-simple-actually/PC Gamer's Everquest history: https://www.pcgamer.com/breaking-the-internet-the-story-of-everquest-the-mmo-that-changed-everything/Dreamcast online functionality and Sega.net history (with links to similar pages for PS2, GameCube etc. at the bottom): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreamcast_online_functionality Support the Pod!
