Gamecube games have aged amazingly! - Lemmy.World

So, as a late teen, I didn’t have a gamecube. It’s the first Nintendo system I didn’t get to own. Then I owned a early manufacture era Wii. So it had backwards compatibility. So in that sense I owned a “gamecube”. But in my early 20s, I just concentrated on Wii games. I don’t know why waggle was so fun, but it was. The end result being I only owned a handfull of gamecube games, and some that I bought (like starfox adventures, and luigis mansion) I never got a chance to play. Well, now I’m in my early 40s, and I bought a Retroid Pocket Flip 2. It has a dolphin emulator. I started playing Wind Waker last night. GUYS! THESE GAMECUBE GAMES MORE THAN HOLD UP TODAY!!! THEY LOOK BEAUTIFUL!!! Now look, I’ve heard that there are HD texture packs that you can do. I’m sure they look amazing. Quite frankly, what I’m seeing, is they aren’t needed. All I did was change the camera stick left to right and right to left. Then switched 2 settings in graphics to allow 16x9 ratio, and 3x scaling. That’s it. Now to be fair, the Retroid Pocket 5/Flip 2 has an AMAZING amoled screen. So, it may be unfair to say beautiful screen makes games beautiful. But it holds up. The games look modern. So far I played Wind Waker, and Super Mario Baseball. You could tell me these games from 25 years ago are brand new, and modern. They look that good.
