Gamecube reccomendations

didamangi · January 15th, 2005

Since my dreamcast deal is off (the seller's a prick) I've decided to buy meself a used gamecube for about $80 with 1 controller and 1 251 memory card, and a freeloader disc as a bonus, not too bad a deal here in my country.

So the games I've bought are Metroid Prime and Starfox Adventures with Wind Wanker on the way.

Metroid is great, suspect Zelda is too, but I'm disappointed with Starfox Adv tho, the graphics are awesome but after playing Jak II, starfox feels too simple for my taste.

So what games do you guys reccomend for this system?
I love all kinds of genre so I accept any reccomendation

Resident Evil 4! I've bought that game and loved it ever since!

N1ghtw0lf · January 15th, 2005

Star Fox Adventures isn't very good.

Mario Kart Double Dash
Mario Power Tennis
Super Smash Brothers Melee
Resident Evil 0
Resident Evil 4
Zelda : Wind Wa(n)ker (Elly was gonna get me for it)
Metroid Prime
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
Viewtiful Joe
Star Wars Rogue Squadron: Rogue Leader (Rebel Strike if you want Multiplayer)
Tales of Symphonia

There's more than likely more than that, but none come to my mind at the moment.

Nightwolf's list is about perfect.. a few other ones I thought were pretty nice..

Gladius
Soul Calibur 2
Mario Sunshine
Skies of Arcadia: Legends

RF · January 15th, 2005

Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes!

**Chrono Archangel** · January 15th, 2005

if your in to RPGs, Baten Kaitos is great
Nightwolf summed it up pretty good

Cid Highwind · January 15th, 2005

I've played Skies of Arcadia on my Dreamcast, and the GC has extra's so I recommend it

Soul Calibur 2 is a very good game as well.

I've seen Resident Evil 4 trailers and they really made me want to play the game. So if I had a Gamecube, I would've bought it

**cooliscool** · January 15th, 2005

RE4!! RE4!!

It's amazing, just bought it two nights ago and am absolutely loving it. Pick it up quick!

MaZa · January 15th, 2005

N1ghtwolves list is almost perfect, except he forgot Paper Mario 2 - Thousand Year Door. Very easy RPG, but god its so much fun. Dialogs and some background actions are hilarious in dry way.

dpence · January 15th, 2005

SW: Bounty Hunter
The other lists are pretty accurate too..
Also for $49 USD you can get a GB player and play your GBA/GBC/GB games on a large screen.

Can't believe no one's mentioned Eternal Darkness... one of my absolute favorite games of all time, not just for the Cube. Also, both Pikmin games are terrific.

As i said, i forgot a few, and i have Eternal Darkness but i'm stuck immensly in one part and have been for probably 6 months now. It got REALLY annoyin trying to beat it over and over and over and over.

MaZa · January 15th, 2005

Six months!? I guess it would be time to turn your sight towards GameFAQS already?

didamangi · January 15th, 2005

Hm, going for the cheap ones first, so RE4 probably have to wait a couple of months

Thanks for the list everyone

I'm going for Eternal Darkness, both RE games and probably Sunshine too.

MaZa · January 15th, 2005

Hmmm... Wasnt there graphically helluva-lot improved Resident Evil 1 remake on GC aswell?

didamangi · January 15th, 2005

Yeah, what I meant with both RE games is RE 1 remake and RE 0

From what I've read the graphics is not the only thing they remake too

MaZa · January 15th, 2005

Errr... Weren't you talking about RE4?

No, it's 1 Enemy and i have such little sanity and life left i can't beat him and continue to live. And if i wanted to do it differently i would have tor estart the entire game. I know where to go, i am just incapable of getting there.

JAZ · January 15th, 2005

Yeah I got Star Fox with my cube when I bought it second hand & also thought it was a bit rubbish, I traded it in as soon as I got the chance having only played it a few times.
Aint got loads of games for it but I do have Mario Sunshine (Very fun but some of the later jump puzzle bits were too much hassle, having to do loads & loads of pin point jumps without any mistakes gets tedious after a while) Resident Evil 1 Remake (awesome remake which improves over the original version by adding some great new parts/mosters & mind blowing graphics) Resident Evil Zero (Got this very cheap, looks even better than the remake but isnt quite as good storywise, the twin characters get annoying at times but it still works quite well & is a good change & very good overall if you like the RE games) Zelda Wind Waker (Amazing in the dungeon parts but I have to say I lost interest in it as soon as I had to start hunting maps & changing the stupid wind all the time so I havent finished it)
Thats the only games I've bought since I bought it

as I normally just wait till I find games I want on the cheap before I get them

but I think there all games worth getting.
Saying that though I did buy RE4 & MGS-Twin Snakes earlier today as the UK release is still 2 months away for RE4 & because of the £ to $ rate (& the fact I really want to play RE4) it was so cheap to import them straight from the US (or in my case from Canada) which is what I've done & cant wait till it turns up
