Good Gamecube Games?

Post Reply New Topic

Get Super Monkey Ball as well. That game's great.

Either Ocarina of Time masterquest or Legend of Zelda collectors edition which has old school 1&2 and the original Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask (if you can find them, they're extremely rare).

Also, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles,
Phantasy Star (the dreamcast version, not the card game one),
Soul Caliber (best version simply because of Link)
Smash Bros.
and Twilight Princess if you don't own a Wii

I like the remake of Resident Evil and Resident Evil 0 myself.

I've already bought Metroid Prime 1 and 2, The Wind Waker Special Edition, all the Resident Evil games, Beyond Good and Evil, Freedom Fighters and Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg. I will be buying other but a lot of them are very expensive in PAL land.

I recommend Gun. It is way underrated, plus its the only game that I know out there where riding a horsey is cool!

I also recommend FZero.

Im a Mario Sunshine fan too. Once you get passed the fact that it doesnt really feel like a mario game, it is an excellent 3D platformer.

Super Smash Bros. Melee
Kirby's Air Ride

You can't go wrong with Rogue Squadron 2: Rogue Leader, despite being a launch title still one of the best looking games on the Gamecube. But stay far away from Rogue Squadron 3: Rebel Strike, Its nowhere near as good and has some downright sh***y on-foot missions.

And if you can find it, Ikaruga is a fantastic arcade style scrolling shooter, but if you can't, its coming to Xbox 360(Via Xbox Live Arcade) so you could eventually get it for that.

I really can't add anything at this point, but I recommend the Metal Gear Solid remake and Sonic Adventure 1 & 2.

I got that should be up you ally Metal gear solid Twin snakes.

Super Mario Sunshine is better than Super Mario 64 in my opinion.

My suggestions would be (if you can find them...):

-Luigi's Mansion-feels really fresh. basically a combination of a Mario game, Resident Evil, and Ghost Busters.
-Pikmin 1-also really original. I didn't like the sequel nearly as much. I found it more frustrating and more conventional.
-Eternal Darkness-a true classic in the survival horror genre. One of the very best.
-Starfox Adventures-awesome graphics, and I prefer its gameplay to the modern Zelda games on which it's (sort of) molded. My favorite Rare game to date, and I like it more than Wind Waker, which is my favorite 3D Zelda game to date.
-Fire Emblem-I thought the first Gameboy Advance Fire Emblem was way too hard, but I enjoyed this one more than the vast majority of strategy/RPGs. Surprisingly fun story too.
-Chibi-Robo-gets way too hard later on, but its unique and maybe still worth playing (certainly worth a rental).
-As mentioned, the Zelda compilation discs if you can find them. I was an idiot to sell mine.
-Almost forgot-Beyond Good and Evil! This is probably closest to the Zelda format, though with a lot of differences. I liked it more than Zelda too, just for it's originality and the neat main character. The Gamecube version was one of the better versions too.

I personally wouldn't recommend Super Mario Sunshine as it's WAAAAAAAAY too hard. Halfway through the game it's harder than Super Mario Galaxy is by the end, and I was never able to get more than halfway through. It LOOKS great, but just too hard and not nearly as good as the 2D games IMO. Rent first.

I also personally didn't like any of the racing games. For whatever reason I don't like the Mario Kart games, and Super Smash Bros. has never done much for me either.

-Metal Gear Solid-this remake is inferior to the Playstation original (which is or was actually just rereleased as a compilation), but if you don't own a Playstation 1, 2, or 3, this would be a good game to get. This is actually remade by the developer of Eternal Darkness, and I've always been disappointed they wasted that time remaking someone else's game rather than doing a new original game. A team capable of Eternal Darkness should not be wasting time doing ports.
