Wii Downloads & Gamecube Games

[Rostum]

My girlfriend just got a Wii, and I thought I'd ask here in a new thread than hi-jack the other.

What are some good classics to download? I figure they are kind of more expensive than I thought, so it'd be nice to know exactly which ones to watch out for.

Also, what are some good Gamecube games? They seem a lot cheaper now, so it'll be easy enough to get some.

Starfox (N64)
The colour Kirby game
Echo the Dolphin (if you're into long and relaxing adventure games)
Zelda: Links adventure (something like that)

To name a few.

[Momiji]

Kid Icarus. :D

[Roto13]

Link's Adventure is the worst Zelda game. :P Get any of the other ones before you get Link's Adventure.

[Proxy]

Kid Icarus. :D

Great game!

I believe A Link To The Past is available for download

[Montoya]

Get The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Now.

Star Fox 64 and Paper Mario are definitely good choices. Super Mario 64 has some good replay value to it, too. :o

[Tavrobel]

Super Smash Brothers Melee. This should be an obvious one.
Soul Calibur II
Super Mario Sunshine
Mario Kart: Double Dash
And many others.

If you can download N64 games, Diddy Kong Racing and Pokemon Stadium. Definitely.

Those aren't out on the VC just yet, as far as I know. >_>

They're not. Pokemon Stadium would suck without a transfer pak, anyway.

Cool, thanks guys. =)

I think Donkey Kong Country 1 & 2 would be good as well.

What other Gamecube games can you recommend?

[Ichimonji]

Virtual Console
- Paper Mario (N64)
- TLoZ: Ocarina of Time (N64)
- Gunstar Heroes (GEN)
- Metroid (NES)
- Super Metroid (SNES)

Gamecube
- TLoZ: Wind Waker *must have*
- Paper Mario: TYD
- SM Sunshine
- SSB Melee
- Metroid Prime

[KentaRawr!]

Pikmin 2
Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes
Metroid Prime (GET IT!)
Baten Kaitos
Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door

There are a lot of lost treasures among the GameCube library out there. It really depends on what kinds of games you guys like.

I think every game that has been mentioned so far is worth your money. Most of them are published by Nintendo, after all. :p Here are some more that I personally own or would recommend:

Viewtiful Joe (and/or VJ2)
Eternal Darkness
Beyond Good and Evil (if you don't have it for another console)
Prince of Persia (if you don't have it for another console)
Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike (if you're at all into Star Wars or flight games)
RESIDENT EVIL 4
Animal Crossing
Ikaruga
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance
F-Zero GX (Hard as :skull::skull::skull::skull:, though)
Skies of Arcadia Legends (A little dated now, but still fun)

Make sure you have a couple wavebirds, too. Not many things are more lame than having a brand new wireless console that you use old wired technology with. :p

From the Virtual Console, get these

Breath of Fire II
Donkey Kong Country 1 and 2
Paper Mario(N64)
Star Fox 64
Shining Force(though I own the GBA version and I recommend getting that version instead)
Street of Rage 2
Star Soldier
TMNT(NES)
Metroid
Super Metroid

As for Gamecube games, I highly recommend these

Bloody Roar Primal Fury
F-Zero GX
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles
Fire Emblem Path of Radiance
Mario Superstar Baseball
Mario Kart Double Dash
Mega Man X Collection
Mega Man X Command Mission
Metroid Prime 1 and 2
Mystic Heroes
Paper Mario TTYOD
Phantasy Star Online Ep 1 and 2
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Skies of Arcadia Legends
Tales of Symphonia
Viewtiful Joe

RESIDENT EVIL 4


Nooo don't get that on the gamecube, it's on the Wii now and much better.

[Raebus]

It's also got the added extra's from the ps2 version.
