Unseen64 has posted a Gamecube tech demo showcasing exactly how Peaches Castle from Super Mario 64 would look like running on the Nintendo Gamecube. The footage is actually playable and was provided to developers to give them a taste of what the Gamecube was actually capable of in the graphical department.
first
Your mother will be proud.
She was last night.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
AW HELL NAW!!!
OH NO HE DIDNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNT
You should change your name to Sean Connery.
Or Christopher Walken.
Hey, guys. Liam from Unseen64 here. Just a minor correction. The tech demo isn’t just footage, it’s a set of environments rendered in real-time that the user can explore manually, much like the Zelda Wii U from E3 this year.
Anyway, love the site. Keep up the good work (:
Thanks for the heads-up and thanks for the great videos.
You’re very welcome. Thanks for featuring it.
:D
That is amazing!
O_O Wow…I’m impressed.
Interesting, but unsurprising. We already knew what the Gamecube can do, and it’s s fair amount more than that.
coooooooooooooooooooooooooool
very cool. i loved the Gamecube it was so much better than the PS2 and Xbox.

Or, a more complete one.
I love these tech demos. It shows all the interesting stuff the developers are trying to showcase on the console’s power.
Very interesting find!
last
not yet, sorry.
If the GameCube can do this, so can the Wii. Gotta love how they don’t use the Wii’s full power.
^Agreed. If they used the Wii’s full power, it would be in HD, Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 was HD, so why can’t the other games be in HD?
Super Mario Galaxy isn’t HD. the wii doesn’t have HD.
^this
Well he’s not talking about resolution sizes but the level of graphics. A lot of games don’t seem to take the Wii’s full potential like Super Mario Galaxy and Silent Hill do.
i know of a PERFECT example of a game that doesn’t use the wii’s full power
hell, Gamecube games are better than this
That was… the weirdest thing ever. Hah, but you’re right, these are like PSOne graphics
wow gamecube games are better than wii games
now if they too that and put the graphics from that tech demo i think nintendo could do alot more with there games
so basically the gamecube had better graphics than the wii…. cause most games graphics were lower than this….
No but most developers don’t take the time to actually make use of the Wii’s graphics because it’s weaker than the PS3/360.
This is actually a little old.
People seem to think that this is really good for the Gamecube, but what isn’t being considered is that these are smaller maps/areas. The Wii could run Xbox 360 level graphics if the maps were as small as these.
Remember finding this before, still cool.
Amazing that no devs ever pushed the gamecube to it’s limits… it was capable of so much more it only the controller wasn’t such a disaster, and the discs held more data.
How was the controller a disaster? It is by far one of the most comfortable controllers I’ve ever used.
Ditto, I refuse to play smash bros brawl with anything else
Not bad.
Anyone notice it said Peach “Castel” in the beginning? Anyway, it’s very interesting when they uncover old Nintendo stuff like this
Not bad at all!
