So, I randomly bought a Gamecube today...

[Master Quan]

...tell me some decent games for it.

Besides the obvious.

[Cloud No.9]

obvious ones are obvious for a reason.

[Master Quan]

Yeah, because I've already got them.

[Cloud No.9]

oooh a gamecube and games. well there's that game were you roll things up on a ball. twin snakes. umm...... i don't know much else.

[GooeyToast]

the GC Spiderman 2 is great fun

[Master Quan]

I got that for PS2. But, yeah.

[Black Mage]

Tales of Symphonia
Super Mario Sunshine
The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker
Baten Kaitos
The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords
Resident Evil 4
Super Smash Brothers Melee

Er, there's more, probably, but that's all that comes to mind, obvious or not.

[Master Quan]

Whoa, Baten Kaitos actually looks pretty good. Thanks man.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

Super Mario Sunshine
Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem
Metroid Prime
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition (was a promotional item but these days you can find it on retailer shelves anyway)
Viewtiful Joe
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes

[Master Quan]

Eternal Darkness sounds good.

I'm particularily looking for a game akin to Dark Cloud for the PS2.

[Ryth]

Well Hello Kitty Rollar Rescue came out....

Seriously though. Besides the obvious Nintendo stuff (i.e. Zelda, Metroid, Paper Mario, Animal Crossing) and the games mentioned before...

Games with an * are GC exclusives.

FF: Crystal Chronicles* (if that isn't obvious)
Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life*
Soul Calibur II
Viewtiful Joe
Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast* was fun
Star Wars Rouge Squardon* series
Medal of Honor: Frontline
Def Jam: Fight for NY
Mortal Kombat: Defiance
Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance
Timesplitters: Future Perfect
Star Fox Adventures*
Star Fox Assault* (might wanna rent it first though)
Metal Arms: Glitch in the System
Tony Hawk: Underground 2
Phantasy Star Online: Episode I and II*
If you're into these kinda games...Phantasy Star Online: Episode III C.A.R.D Revolution*
Timesplitters 2
Beyond Good and Evil
Gladius
Skies of Arcadia
Lord of the Rings

FF:CC and PSO may be the closest games to Dark Cloud gameplay. Maybe Star Fox: Adventures.

[Master Quan]

That's some good work there Sephy. I'll be trying them all.

[Sepho]

It's not something I'd recommend to everyone, but I have/had a blast with F-Zero GX.

You might also want to pick up Prince of Persia if you don't already have it for another console.

[Master Quan]

Which I do. But don't worry about recommeding stupid games. I know nothing about the GC and I want some fun.

[Ryth]

No problem Quan. For a full list of GC games and their collected scores given to them by critics check here (http://www.metacritics.com/games/gamecube/scores/) to see if theres any I missed. :)

[Sepho]

It's not very intuitive. The controls are so sensitive that I really didn't want to play it anymore after the first race, but once I got used to it, I kept playing for the sense of speed. And I'm not even really that into racing games.

[Crossblades]

oooh a gamecube and games. well there's that game were you roll things up on a ball. twin snakes. umm...... i don't know much else.
u mean katamari damacy?

[Lindy]

...Katamari Damacy is on the PS2, genius.

Anyway, you all suck.

Killer7.

Even if you've played or have the PS2 version, the GC version is how it SHOULD be played.

[Erdrick Holmes]

Capcom Vs SNK 2
Sonic Gems Collection
Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes

[Lindy]

Sonic Gems is, rather unfortunately, awful.

Well, it would be if it didn't have Sonic CD, though JUST Knuckles Chaotix would have been better than the plethora of sub-par Master System/Game Gear games.

[Chzn8r]

They were gonna have Streets of Rage (I think, whatever that good beat 'em up series was) games on there but those were slashed for the American release in place of Vectorman to keep it rated E =/

So yeah, Gamecube, great system, listen to these people.

[Buster Sword Strike]

Resident evil 1 is damn amazing. Much better that the repetitive resident evil 4.

[DJZen]

Hmmm, I don't think I can reccomend anything that hasn't been suggested already. I don't have many gems in my collection. Anything that has the word "Capcom" on the box somewhere is worth owning though.

I'm going to open myself up for criticism here and say that Crystal Chronicals is NOT a killer app. It's fun, but it feels like it's just slightly sub-par on the fun-o-meter. 4 Swords is a much better game, and it's a very similar concept.

SSBM, anything Resident Evil, 4 Swords, Viewtiful Joe, and Starfox Armada Assault are my biggest reccomendations. Get Soul Calibur 2 if you like, it's pretty fun, but it takes a lot of patience to really learn.

Whatever you do buy, do NOT under ANY circumstances tough Starfox Adventures or WWE Day Of Reckoning. Those are the video game equivalent of getting goatse'd or tub girl'd.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

Starfox ArmadaStar Fox Assault, actually, although you could be forgiven for making that mistake since during development it was called everything from Star Fox to Star Fox 2 to Star Fox: Xtreme Space Fighterz.

[DJZen]

And how about it being 2:20 in the morning when I made that post?

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

And how about this weather?

[DJZen]

How about OMG OFF TOPIC!!!!!!!!!1111 ^.^V

I don't know why I didn't think to add this before, but anything with "Legacy of Kain" written on it is also probably gonna be awesome. I also liked Mario Sunshine, Luigi's Mansion and Wind Waker a lot, but I wouldn't consider them quite as "must have" as games of their franchise ought to be. No NES collection was complete without Super Mario Bros. 1 2 and 3. Many GC collections seem to be complete without Mario Sunshine. Go figure. Still a fun game though. Think Mario 64 with a water pack.

[Lionx]

Unless you have a joystick and arent stupid dont buy CvsS2 for GC and use GCism...its retarded...omg final atomic buster like so easy >>;

[Dreddz]

Resident Evil 4

[Master Quan]

What can you guys tell me about Mystic Heroes? It looks like a bit of DW clone.

[Discord]

Yep, get the Jedi Knight and the Rogue Squadron series. They are -the- games for GC.

[Xander]

Paper Mario =D Even if it is obvious. =P

[Dreddz]

What can you guys tell me about Mystic Heroes? It looks like a bit of DW clone.
Its a kiddy DW
Not very good......

[Crossblades]

What can you guys tell me about Mystic Heroes? It looks like a bit of DW clone.

It is a DW clone, but more kiddy. However it's still a fun game to play, especially co-op. My only complaint is that the GC version didn't have hidden characters like the PS2 version, but aside from that, it's still a good game

[Pure Strife]

The Resident Evil remake is fantastic, as is RE4. RE0 only comes reccomended if you're a huge RE fan. Wind Waker, Mario Sunshine and Tales of Symphonia would be my only other "must play" titles.

[SeeDRankLou]

I really liked Pikmin. It's a rather fun and cute game, short, but good. I have yet to play Pikmin 2.

[ljkkjlcm9]

if you're looking for RPG's
Paper Mario 2
Tales of Symphonia
Skies of Arcadia Legend
Evolution Worlds
FF:CC

THE JACKEL

[Cloud No.9]

get a gameboy player.

[Maxico]

Sonic Gems is, rather unfortunately, awful.

Urgh, I couldn't stand Knuckles Chaotix.

[XxSephirothxX]

Well, it's not like I'll be saying anything new, but...

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
Zelda Collector's Edition
Eternal Darknes
These are all superb games and should be quite cheap.

Of course, there's also Resident Evil 4.

[FFX_fanatiq]

Tales of Symphonia


=FREAKING AWESOME
takes about 10 hours to heat up though o_O
but good czu average play time is 80

[HakaiSuru]

maomaomao, hmmmm Tales of Symphonia of corse only the best when your playin with your friends though... Wind Waker, lemme tinks....(Kirby)lets play some Super Smash brothers melee hehehe follow his example good game with 4 play of course o o o Baiten Kaitos

[Master Quan]

get a gameboy player.

Can it even play the old games?

[Cloud No.9]

i think so.

[Master Quan]

Then so it shall be.

[Cloud No.9]

check first though. i'm not well taught on those matters.

p.s. yeah i was right it does play them.

[fantasyjunkie]

Animal Crossing. I thought my wife was insane when she wanted that game but it turned out to be one of the most diabolical addictive games I have ever played in my 20 years of gaming.

[Sepho]

get a gameboy player.

Can it even play the old games?

It should. It's basically a GameBoy Advance that outputs to your TV instead of a small LCD and accepts a GC controller.

And if not, playing Metroid Fusion and Zero Mission on your TV with a controller in hand, Super Metroid-style, is worth it. I don't even own a GBA, but I bought a few games for it just for the player.

[Master Quan]

I can't wait to play POKE'MON ON MY GBA PLAYER ALL NIGHT.

Yeah. Thanks guys.

[blackchocobo9999]

Ok, must buys for the GC. Resident evil series, all of tehm out on GC, All the Mario's, well, mabye not paper mario, i find that crap.Metal gear solid Twin snakes and the up-coming Zelda
