Yeah I uploaded my own playlists, I was bumping Enya in EO and 3/6 Mafia in Excite Truck. Loved both games and their sequels. People who like to dunk on motion controls don’t realize what they were missing when it came to titles like these.

lots of games from that era allowed it, which was great for people like me who dont care for modern pop/radio music. i used it mostly on my 360 though

I wish that was still a thing today. Or at least, always give the player an option to turn off the game music but not SFX. Then you can play whatever you want.

Yeah I also watched Jon from Good Vibes Gaming’s new video.

ENDLESS OCEAN MENTIONED WOOOOO FUCK YEAHH

You definitely learned this from Jon’s video and you should give him credit

We had one song on loop on ours: Can’t Touch This by MC Hammer.

And miss out on Endless Ocean’s bangin’ soundtrack?!

The Photo Channel had the same feature, but they updated it from MP3s to ACC/M4A files.

Excite Truck was soo much fun! And I did play my music during races. Nice cool feature

I have this game. It’s definitely worth getting. It’s chaotic fun and the own soundtrack is limited due to the Wii not allowing much on the SD card but it’s so much fun.

The Xbox 360 lets you play music in-game with games muting their music.
You can even plug an iPod in and play music straight off it.

It’s an awesome feature for Excite Truck. Stupid for Endless Ocean.

The original Xbox letting you use ripped CD tracks for entrance music in WWE Raw was absolutely insane.

I learned about this the day I bought it. Had an SD card full of music just to play while I was racing.

Yehhh, it was a good era. I always meant to put more of a variety of files in there, but instead I beat the game listening to the same 7 or 8 songs on repeat. I loved that feature so much.

Distinctly remember playing Monster Hospital by Metric while thrashing around in Excite Truck and thinking it was the coolest thing ever. 2006 was fun

Didn’t an old monster hunter game have CD’s unlock characters

I had both games and I have known that for years

I did that on Excite Truck back in the day. It was novel for a few minutes

Excited Truck was absolutely ridiculous. I don’t know if I liked it or not, but I sure played it a lot!

Cool. TIL

I remember trying to do it on Endless Ocean, but I didn’t really have any music that was better suited than it’s own soundtrack. Was absolutely mesmerized by Shenandoah. Wasn’t a particularly deep game (ironically) but damn if it wasn’t one the most immersive games on the system.

Does it still support MP3? Photo Channel launched with MP3 support, but it was replaced with AAC in an update.

I totally forgot about this. Great game, so was excitbots

Yeah. I remember in the lead-up to Super Smash Bros. Brawl… there was a lot of speculation about whether or not Brawl would do this too. And then they announced the “My Music” feature and that Brawl would have 300+ songs, and then we knew that it wouldn’t have it. Which is fine, as Smash music nowadays is significantly better than the single song per stage that we had in Smash 64 and Melee.

I remember being disappointed that ExciteBots and the Endless Ocean sequel didn’t have this option. Especially considered all 4 of these games had some pretty awful music, so replacing them with literally anything made it an upgrade. I played through Endless Ocean with a Hammerfall soundtrack when I was 14, and it was quite the improvement.
