I'm in Nintendo mode at the moment! I picked up a SNES in really nice condition for only £15 last week, and the best part is it came with a copy of Mario All Stars + Super Mario World! Anyhoo, I'm now considering acquiring a Gamecube, and would like some game recommendations So far my to-get list consists of: -F-Zero GX -Metroid Prime (I've never played a metroid game before) -Pikmin -Mario Sunshine -Wind-Waker -Starfox Assault -Ikaruga Is 1080 Avalanche any good? What others do you recommend? I love racing games, platformers, action adventure and RPGs. I dislike survival horror (so don't recommend Resident Evil!) FPS (unless it's really, really good), fighting, most RTS games (obv. I mentioned Pikmin :P). Thanks for any input!Nismology
Didn't we just have this thread? Anyways, in additoin to the games you listed, here's some more I recommend
-Super Smash Bros. Melee
-Star Wars: Rogue Squadron 2 & 3
-Resident Evil (Remake) (Best remake, EVER!)
-Resident Evil 4
I also highly recommend getting a Game Boy Player. They're dirt cheap and they allow you to play original Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and GBA games on you T.V. through your Gamecube. And the games looks fan-freaking-tastic on your T.V., especially the original Game Boy and Game Boy Color ones. Plus you get to play them with your Gamecube controller or your GBA itself as the controller if you have a link-cable.
Heres some of my favorites
Zelda Wind Waker & Twilight Princess
Metroid Prime 1 & 2
Resident Evil Remake RE4 and RE0
Metal Gear Twin Snakes
Paper Mario
Baten Kaitos 1 & 2
Viewtiful Joe 1 & 2
Pikmin 1 & 2 but if you have a Wii get them on it.
Mega Man X collection
Mega Man Aniversary collection.
Well, Legend of Zelda Wind Waker is a must!
-Resident Evil Remake is amazing!
-Resident Evil 4 is great too.
-Battalion Wars is totally fun.
-Skies of Arcadia Legends will change your life!
-Fire Emblem Path of Radiance is great game.
-Pikmin 1 and 2 are must plays......system defining games.
-Paper Mario is a must.
others.....but I'm getting tired and need to head to bed. (I didn't like Metroid Primes as much....I'm a 2D Metroid guy myself, but they are technically stellar)
Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem - THE best horror game of the generation.
Monkeyball I & II - Avoid the "MB Adventures" series, but those first two games are perfection, from the main game to the party games.
Godzilla: Monster Melee - Don't argue. G rules, and you know it.
Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance
Metal Arms: Glitch in the System
well, it will be hard. The Gamecube doesn't really have much of a game library.Mr-bomb
Tryin' to get that post count up, huh? Little tip for the New Fish:
If you don't actually have anything to contribute to a thread aside from your provincial attitudes and blatant ignorance, sometimes it's just best to move along, not post at all, and find something else to do. Legacy is a forum where we try to help each other out - We're friends here. If you feel like dumping and blathering, the System Wars Forum is chock-full o' twits ready to spew negativity with you.
Now, toddle on and let the adults talk for awhile, ok? Thaaaaaaanks...
Gamecube is so underated... it had so many great games. If you said you never played a Metroid game, definitely get Metroid Prime. I can't stand FPS but that game is so much more and one of my favorites ever. Also, since you have an SNES, try to get Super Metroid too.
The BEST GC game IMO is Tales of Symphonia. Great action RPG, I personally loved the cast of characters, and even though it's a basic JRPG story, for some reason I couldn't get enough of it.
Finally, get Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door. If you like Mario and RPGs, this game is one of the best. The story is really good but the writing and narrative make this game amazing.
FYI... if you just get a Wii, you can play all your GC games if you have a GC memory card and controller. Then you can also get some cheap great SNES games on the Wii Virtual Console.

Monkey, Legacy Platforms have been System Wars like since the new ToU was put into place. Just thought I should say that.Then it falls to us to maintain the civility and community (sometimes by informing newer members as to what we expect from each other - Though I admit, my tone could have been more gentle, upon reflection)... We police ourselves, in a sense. Of all the boards on this site, Legacy is the one place I enjoy for the consistently positive tone of it's regular contributors.
It's like my safe-haven midst chaos.

So by having the smallest library that gen with the least rated game line-up which was abandoned during it's time and eventually struggled to reach past 24 million units, and all those actually happened, means that in some way I am being ignorant? You can like the Gamecube it just doesn't have anything, and I honestly think the Gamecube is getting undeserved praise lately on the internet just because of the Wii among other reasons. But that doesn't change the fact it has a limited library with a limited amount of games that appeal to a limited demographic. Which means it will be hard to get anything from the library. Because there isn't much there. I am not going to walk down the street and find shelves of Gamecube games, and if I do, it may not be varied due to its small amount of games. Wasn't trying to start any flaming or anything.Just thought Id throw this out there, if you have no plans to get a Gameboy Player then you might as well just get a older Wii that plays Gamecube games. If you get the component cables you can play the GC games in Progressive Scan and they look pretty good still.

No, you're being ignorant by posting in a topic for which, by your own admission, you have no interest in,and have absolutely nothing to say. It's often called "Post-Whoring".
You can like the Gamecube it just doesn't have anything,
As The Dude likes to say, "Well, like, that's your opinion, man..." - Lots of people think you're an idiot, but does that make them RIGHT???No, it's simply an opinion. And again, a pointlessly expressed opinion in this case because TC is leaning towards buying a 'Cube and was interested in suggestions. You don't like the 'Cube and think it has nothing to offer. So AGAIN...
... Why are you even HERE???

and I honestly think the Gamecube is getting undeserved praise lately on the internet just because of the Wii among other reasons.
I... You... What? Huh? Y'know what? Forget I asked... This is beginning to give me a migraine...

For you. Last time I checked, New Fish, no one knighted you the Arbiter of Gaming Taste, to preside over us mortals - But perhaps I'm wrong... Take off that McDonbald's paper hat for a sec and let's see if there's a crown under there.
Because there isn't much there.
Just like your oh-so-entertaining defensive dribble, even though you could just accept the truth - That you ****ed up and shot your gob off without thinking. It happens to the best of us.

Melee Viewtiful Joe Viewtiful Joe 2 Again: 1.Multiplats. While not really a bad thing a lot of them were considerably worse than other version and with a couple was the WORST version. Either way, very low reason to get those games on the cube than somewhere else. 2.Games that were not GC that played better on the Wii (Debatably in some cases.), and the Wii has GC BC. 3.This really goes with comment 1, but Mega collection on the Gamecube has the least amount of content, the less responsive controls (but runs smoother), and has no save states. Also less games. Also, the worst detestably version of Megaman collection. It has a small amount of games compared to all the other library's outside the Dreamcast which I did not count. So i don't know why this surprises you, i think you are saying the Gamecube has only bad games. nope, there are quite a few gems in the Gamecube library just saying- Small library lack of content in certain games. small main target demografic, which also affects its multiplats and effort put into them in some cases. small space making it miss out on games If you actually think that list represents anything than the gamecube has NO games, which is not exactly true, at all, at least have a representative list.Also for some reason, you listed all the RE games instead of 4. I take it you don't like 4 or was that just forgotten when you made the list?Mr-bomb
No, I just forgot, oops.
But what makes you think these are the worst version of games often? It's usually the PS2 version of games that generation that were the worst multiplatform titles.

I said some were considerably worse compared to other consoles, sometimes even the PS2 in some cases, and some where the worst, not all of them were the worst. I never said that. Most multiplats compared to the PS2 that are inferior are- PS2 version runs smoother (sometimes) PS2 version had more content and more game additions(usually) Ps2 Version has less or no compression for things like FMV's, Special effects, particles, lighting, and even A.I. as well as textures(usually) Ps2 Version has faster input (sometimes) Now, with the Gamcube, you got to realize it has multiplats with Xbox, PC, and Dreamcast as well, and all of them have games that are on the gamecube that are superior to the Gamecube version although the number varies with the Xbox version usually being the highest, and due to lack of third-party motivation to try porting games harder, or to take advantage of the gamecube, and then adding on the fact the lack of disc space and how few developers did not want 4 Gamecube discs for game ports, the Gamecube has a small amount of games you could actually say run better than other systems. with its most notable advantage being with a few PS2 multiplats. So when you factor in its small library of games, a lot of games you listed are noticeably worse or would have already been known to be better by gaming sites and the press. preventing people from usually buying a lot of the Gamcubes multiplats. The Gamecube software sales were not exactly good outside of a few titles, and I remember EA dropping off of the Gamecube for low sales for example. Some other developers said that it was hard to work with as well with space restrictions and other things. Again, this is the developers fault, although mostly Nintendos. but they did try to get third-party support and try to help third-parties out more so than their last console and the Wii, so if they had made the system correctly maybe. But it's not a bad library, it's just small. Getting a Gamecube now may be worth it since it's so cheap, but 2001 to 2010?I said some were considerably worse compared to other consoles, sometimes even the PS2 in some cases, and some where the worst, not all of them were the worst.

That matters most. I don't care if it's missing extra content (if it was missing vital story content, then I would be pissed, see the PC version of Nightfire), a few visual perks, few framerate drops (if there was a lot, like say Sonic Heroes on PS2, then I'd see why, but I haven't had that big of a problem with GC multiplats), muffled sound (hey, at least it works and you can still make out the sounds), or if you have to find a way around controller design, if the game is playable enough. Why the hell not?
Besides, if you want multiplats that you shouldn't get, no matter what console (where the worst version is available, not so much a bad game on every system it's on), at least watch videos of Sonic Genesis on GBA. A horrid version of the original. Luckily, a much better version of the Genesis/Mega Drive cIassic was later released on DS.
Alright, Bomb. Give credit where credit is due, so I will say that some of the points you make have truth for some gamers, but most of the multiplatform games I purchased for that generation were indeed GC versions. And I'm NOT a Nintendo fanboy, I'm a Playstation fanboy. But games like the Resident Evil series (including 4), Soul Calibur II, Metal Arms: Glitch in the System, Super Monkeyball, Nightfire, Agent Under Fire, Everything or Nothing, Tiger Woods, Madden, Splinter Cell, Call of Duty, and on and on and on, I actively chose to buy for the GameCube and I never felt like I got the retarded little brother of a title or the second-class citizen. Discontent over series like Splinter Cell or CoD not having online play was a constant criticism of GC ports when held up to Xbox or PS2 versions, and that was another allowible critique, though honestly I never understood the preoccupation with that side of gaming. Still don't.
But in sumation: The library wasn't limited, only the vision of the player could impose that restriction on the system or it's offerings.
If you don't like the system, I respect that. There are tons of games on the GC that I don't grok (never been a "Zelda" man, for instance) Holding such opinion is completely within bounds... Making sweeping generalizations on behalf of other gamers is not.

Assuming you actually had a Gamecube that gen- Just because you brought the multiplats for the gamecube does not suddenly mean the gamecube has a library of semi or full inferior multiplats. It just meant you brought them for the gamecube, because you had one that gen. it does not prove anything i said before wrong at all. Yes, online lost the Gamecube ports of some games a lot interest by consumers, but you forget many other problems like blurry graphics, compression which is noticeable in many games, lack of content, framerate, and color depth as well as more. Neither of the above regardless stop it from having a limited library, it has nothing to do with vision, it targetted a smaller demographic PRIMARILY which is why it's Software sales were bad for a lot of other games, and it has a very small amount of advantagable multiplats and has a decent amount of exclusive. You can't actually argue against physical numbers or what target Nintendo was mostly making games for which completely ended up negating their journey of trying to gain third-party support. Allow me to try this a different way- try listing exclusives.Alright, Bomb.

try listing exclusives.Mr-bomb
I don't think a game has to be exclusive to be good. There are plenty of fantastic multiplatform games with fantastic versions on the Gamecube. But I'll still bite:
Plenty of great exclusives there that make owning a Gamecube well worth it; IN ADDITION to the fantastic multiplatform games.

All you got from my post was:" I don't think a game has to be exclusive to be good?" That's all you got out of all those words? Really? Adding that Twilight Princess is not exclusive, neither is the, Skies of arcadia is not exclusive, I have no idea why you think this thread is about PS2 vs. Gamecube out of nowhere, it's about the whole generation in general, the whole argument me and monkey were having was mostly about multiplats on various systems not just the Ps2. I must not be making myself clear and I apologize in advance if that is the case.Metroid Prime games aren't exclusive either.Mr-bombThey only became multiplat this gen though and technically they are exclusive because Nintendo owns the freaking series.
They only became multiplat this gen though and technically they are exclusive because Nintendo owns the freaking series. There is no technically it's not exclusive. When they run better on the Wii technically why would you buy a GAMECUBE for THOSE GAMES? These defenses for the gamecube are starting to look like attacks now. Nintendo owning the "freaking" series does not make it exclusive to the gamecube. Don't know why we are starting to head to bad language land already.[QUOTE="Mr-bomb"]Metroid Prime games aren't exclusive either.nintendoboy16

You can't actually argue against physical numbers or what target Nintendo was mostly making games for which completely ended up negating their journey of trying to gain third-party support. Allow me to try this a different way- try listing exclusives. So you're telling me that the Gamecubes first-party hurt its third-party support. Ok............ Give me one minute..Alright, Bomb. Give credit where credit is due, so I will say that some of the points you make have truth for some gamers, but most of the multiplatform games I purchased for that generation were indeed GC versions. And I'm NOT a Nintendo fanboy, I'm a Playstation fanboy. But games like the Resident Evil series (including 4), Soul Calibur II, Metal Arms: Glitch in the System, Super Monkeyball, Nightfire, Agent Under Fire, Everything or Nothing, Tiger Woods, Madden, Splinter Cell, Call of Duty, and on and on and on, I actively chose to buy for the GameCube and I never felt like I got the retarded little brother of a title or the second-class citizen. Discontent over series like Splinter Cell or CoD not having online play was a constant criticism of GC ports when held up to Xbox or PS2 versions, and that was another allowible critique, though honestly I never understood the preoccupation with that side of gaming. Still don't.
But in sumation: The library wasn't limited, only the vision of the player could impose that restriction on the system or it's offerings.
If you don't like the system, I respect that. There are tons of games on the GC that I don't grok (never been a "Zelda" man, for instance) Holding such opinion is completely within bounds... Making sweeping generalizations on behalf of other gamers is not.

OMG this is to funny.Assuming you actually had a Gamecube that gen- Just because you brought the multiplats for the gamecube does not suddenly mean the gamecube has a library of semi or full inferior multiplats.

[QUOTE="nintendoboy16"]They only became multiplat this gen though and technically they are exclusive because Nintendo owns the freaking series. There is no technically it's not exclusive. When they run better on the Wii technically why would you buy a GAMECUBE for THOSE GAMES? These defenses for the gamecube are starting to look like attacks now. Nintendo owning the "freaking" series does not make it exclusive to the gamecube. Don't know why we are starting to head to bad language land already. They run better on the Wii? From my experience, they run exactly the same. Besides, I told this to JigglyWiggly_ and I'm saying it to you: Why do you care on what version of multiplat games people get?[QUOTE="Mr-bomb"]Metroid Prime games aren't exclusive either.Mr-bomb

... the whole argument me and monkey were having was mostly... Mr-bomb
All in your mind? Who's arguing? I conceded some of your points as completely valid. No "argument" going on here, but if you'd like one just keep making assumptions and/or putting words in my mouth ...
... Jesus, dude. I'm beginning to think you're just here trolling. I'd like to give you more credit but I'm running out of reasons to do so. Enjoy your time on the forum, but in future do me a favor and stay out of my conversations. I will most-certainly return the favor.

I didn't put any words in your mouth at all. it would be nice you address that last post I made to you instead of calling me a troll and keeping up with this attitude of yours and making up lies. Also my last post was arguing against the points you made in your posts which means yes, it's an argument, but I still don't appreciate the bad tone and name calling and fanboy-like attitude I would only expect to find in one board.[QUOTE="Mr-bomb"]try listing exclusives.Emerald_Warrior
I don't think a game has to be exclusive to be good. There are plenty of fantastic multiplatform games with fantastic versions on the Gamecube. But I'll still bite:
Plenty of great exclusives there that make owning a Gamecube well worth it; IN ADDITION to the fantastic multiplatform games.
I can add a lot more to that list: Animal Crossing Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean Baten Kaitos: Origins Battalion Wars Bomberman Generations Fire Emblem: The Path of Radiance Ikaruga Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life(ported to PS2 later but not well at all) Harvest Moon: Another Wondeful Life Harvest Moon: Magical Melody Luigi's Mansion Mario Party 4 Mario Party 5(after this one it got silly with microphone games and such didn't care for 6-7) Mario Power Tennis Mario Super Star Baseball Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Pikmin Pikmin 2 Tales of SymphoniaSo you're telling me that the Gamecubes first-party hurt its third-party support.

lol, what is this, like the 4th or 5th time now? On to alt-account #6?
lol the gamecube had over 600 games ,, if you call that small there is certainly something wrong with you ,
id say 400 were good ones the other 200 being movie tie ins and children fair , aka spongebob
but you better look at sega 32x , that is the definition of small or the virtual boy , ,
any system with over 300 games is not a small library because no body unless their millionaires , is going to own the whole library i own nearly 200 snes games out of the 800 plus available us releases ,
thats my 2nd most 360 being the top ,but since it isnt legacy my snes got the most use , i do have a fair share of gc xbox ps2 games as well as other consoles ,
but my point is ---
gamecube library is far from small , , and strugglinG ? id hardly call gc struggling when xbox couldnt do that much better, ps2 got lucky thats it , and judging by this gen nintendo deserves all the respect in the world right now and you sir aint helping one bit by coming into a legacy forum and starting a flame war
sure it may not have had gta but , you cant call gc a flop because you want to bump your post count , the gc was very profitable as nintendo made the same amount of profit as sony did selling over 100 m ps2s lol
so your in a small boat right now and since everyone considers wii a gc w new controller we might as well add wiis 90 million sales to gcs , and then lets see how much of a fanboy you really are

Someone was kind enough to point out that Bomb is indeed a troll, with multiple accounts who enjoys arguing with people AND shimself... Save your breath.
[QUOTE="Eikichi-Onizuka"] Fire Emblem Mario Kart Double Dash Paper Mario Resident Evil 4 (more action than horror so I'll recommend this one) Skies of Arcadia Tales of SymphoniarawsavonI agree with this guy
Any GC best or recommended games list without Metroid Prime is flawed

Hmm. I make thread defending the gamecube with my life. Call the Wii a pile of trash Think the think the N64 and NES SNES suck compared to the DS. GBA, and GBC respectively. Think the GBA with the Gamecube is god itself. Argue against someone who hates the gamecube and somehow we are alts accounts? Well Emerald Warrior was always mentally ill anyway, probably came from a close relative that lives with him so i can't blame him. Since he likes to brag about that certain person all the time it's only fair to ASSUME that's were his lack of mental stability came from.Please Log In to post.
