Nintendo Wii Fanboy

Metroid Prime, Smash Bros Melee of course, and Soul Calibur II. I would also say RE4 but I like the Wii version better.

And they're just off the top of my head.

I didn't own a Cube before. And the first Cube game I bought after getting a Wii was actually Eternal Darkness. It's great. But my favorite so far...that's tough. Melee is great for multiplayer...Viewtiful Joe is amazing, too. Probably a toss-up between those three...

Super Smash Bros
Super Monkey Ball 1 + 2
TimeSplitters 2 + Future Perfect
Roadkill

I never had a 'cube. But playing on my friends cube regularly was what made me decide to buy a Wii as opposed to sticking with Sony (this was before all the stuff about how the Wii-mote rocked was announced!)

Anyway, I recommend anyone to play Ikaruga, LoZ:Windwaker, SMS, Lego Star Wars I and II, any of the Rogue Squadron games and Mario Kart: Double Dash as a minimum!

SSBM is all I have to say

@Reric: hell yeah Ribbit King!

I think my cube games actually get more playign time than my wii games; my favs are

Super Monkey Ball 1&2
Smash Bros. Melee
F-Zero GX
Sega Soccer Slam
Ribbit King
LoZ Wind Waker
Tales of Symphonia

Above all, monkey ball, f-zero, and melee are MUSTS (especially if you are a multiplayer junkie like myself)

I could like so many GC games are are amazing, I will limit my list too my favorite 15 though. They are not in any order.

Luigi's Mansion (SOOOOO UNDERATED)
Mario Kart: Double Dash
Pikmin 2 (1 is a fucken awsome launch title)
Zelda Windwaker (I never played TP on the GC, but I am sure it is fantastic with Windwaker controls. It is counted as a Wii game to me though)
Metroid Prime (2 is AMAZING, but 1 game per franchise!)
Super Mario Sunshine
Killer 7
Viewtiful Joe (2 is great also!)
Battalion Wars
Fire Emblem: Path of Radience
Geist
Super Smash Bros Melee
Star Fox Adventures (Assault was awsome too!)
Eternal Darkness
and, RE 1 (4 is counted as a Wii game as far as I am concerned)

There is alot the GC has to offer.

I forgot, but Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door is AMAZING.

Super Smash Bros. Melee
Resident Evil 4
The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

I know I'm forgeting alot of games on both lists.

Reply

@13: a LOT better than the new one IMHO :)

Reply

Paper Mario 2, Windwaker, Twilight Princess, Mario Golf, Double Dash, and The gameboy advance adapter (Love me some Super Mario 3 on the cube)

I LOVED my little purple 'lunchbox'. Good times.

I would suggest the following games to anyone that did not have access to a 'cube until now:

Eternal Darkenss
Beyond Good & Evil
Chibi-Robo
Pikmin
Super Mario Sunshine
Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee
The Simpons: Hit & Run and The Simpsons: Road Rage
The Prince of Persia (all the in the series)
Metroid Prime
Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker
Resident Evil 4
Mario Kart: Double Dash!

Reply

Luigi's Mansion
Lego Star Wars 1 and 2
Mario Golf (Slot clubs is the best)
Mario Strikers and Sega Soccer Slam
NHL Hitz
Mario Tennis
Any Mario Party
Maybe this is why I like the Wii so much all the games that I played were all with groups of people.

Hrm, I had a cube for a long time (technically my wife's -- I convinced her to get it and it was her first console!), and I was frankly a bit disappointed. I have probably 2 dozen PS2 games, at least half of which are "gems", but I only own about 10 GC games. I notice that almost all the commenters above mention the same games. I feel like (for my tastes!) there were only 8 or 10 really good GC games over the life of the console. My list would probably be:

Zelda (1 game, maybe 1.5 including Four Swords, which was OK, but not great)
Metroid (2 games)
Pikmin (2 games)
Paper Mario
Smash Brothers
Mario (maybe, not my favorite)
Chibi Robo (maybe; lost interest towards the end)
RE4 (doesn't count since not GC exclusive)


Note that this list a) reflects my peculiar tastes, b) does not include accessories like the GBA player or ports like the Zelda Collector's Edition, and c) does not include cross-platform gems like PoP and Beyond Good and Evil. I also have yet to play Eternal Darkness and Tales of Symphonia, both of which I expect to be excellent. But when I go into the Used Gamecube section at EB, I usually just poke at the cases for a while, then shake my head sadly. Even at deep discount, most of the GC exclusives are a disappointment.

I really enjoyed the Cube for its quality rather than quantity. I probably played more games from the PS2 and XBOX, but I played the GC games MORE.

Seeing significant replay time are:

REmake and RE0 (and RE4, but now I have the Wii version)
LoZ: Wind Waker (have TP on the Wii)
Metroid Prime, MP2
Eternal Darkness
Pikmin
FZero GX

Reply

I'd actually be willing to say the GC is the best console I've ever owned, as far as the amount of quality titles goes. There wasn't much on it, but the ratio of good to bad games is considerably higher than what the PS2 or Xbox offered.

My top 10 games would be:
1) Viewtiful Joe
2) Viewtiful Joe 2
3) Wind Waker
4) Star Fox Assault
5) Ikaruga
6) Star Fox Adventures
7) Mega Man Anniversary Collection
8) Beyond Good & Evil
9) Super Mario Sunshine
10) Sonic Mega Collection


...sorry, Melee!

I'm surprised to see Beyond Good & Evil only made one list! After that, I'm pretty much with the SSBM, Mario Kart and Metroid crowd.

Reply

No one has mentioned Animal Crossing yet?! Maybe you're all AC haters.

Donkey Kong Jungle Beat also rocks my world. I'd love to have wireless bongos though. I know the graphics/gameplay might not meet the standards of some of you Nintendo elite, but it's a fun game.

Reply

5. Jungle Beat
4. Pikmin 2
3. Wind Waker
2. Metroid Prime
1. Melee

Cliche'd, yet oh so true.

Reply

If I said just how many hours my brothers and I spent sending letters to the town's folk in animal crossing... let's just say that animal crossing really needs to be on the "to play" list of anyone just picking up their hand me down GC.

Reply

As far as I'm concerned (not really much of an Animal Crossing fan, but I've played it some), the DS has the FAR superior experience for that game, with its online features.

Gladius. One of LucasArts bestest games

Other than the obvious (SSBM, Super Mario Sunshine, etc.), I loved Second Sight. Telekineses and awesome story. Nothing like going through a creepy mental hospital at night, possessing a guard, and making them let out the dangerous patients that punch and kick them to death.

I forgot my favorite (and first) Gamecube game: Luigi's Mansion

Also loved Mario Kart
The Pikmin games were also fun (never finished Pikmin 2).

Man, I love me some GC. If the only games I could have for the rest of my gaming days were those ten, I wouldn't complain ever.

Reply

SSBM, Metroid Prime series, Windwaker, the list can go on and on... I forgot to mention Tales of Symphonia!

Hey guys, I agree very much with all of your lists, but there was a gamecube exclusive that everyone is overlooking.

BATEN KAITOS 1 + 2 from Namco-Bandai, were brilliant RPG's in almost every aspect.

If you haven't had the chance to play through either of them, I strongly suggest you do that, fantastic games.

Reply

Most of my favourite games have already been mentioned, out oh well, here are my top faves:

Tales of Symphonia (I have about 3 games in this one, one of the few RPGs I enjoy)
Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker and Twilight Princess
Mario Kart: DD
Super Mario Sunshine
F-Zero GX
Pikmin 1 and 2
Metroid Prime 1 and 2
RE4
Animal Crossing

While not a MUST-HAVE Gamecube title, I'm actually one of the few people in the world who enjoyed Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles D8.

Reply

(in no particular order, save MP:1, which is the best game on the system)
Metroid Prime 1
Super Smash Brothers Melee
Mario Kart: Double Dash
Pikmin 1
(slightly begrudgingly, since I actually like the 30 day limit in 1) Pikmin 2
X-men Legends

The GC was actually my first console and Melee alone has give me 100+ hours of play. Now I can look forward to all the games I missed to play on the wii...

there are tons of gems in the CG gamelist,
many of them were already listed...
I would like to add:

Animal crossing
donkey konga 1 and 2
SSX 3 and on tour
star wars rouge leader 2 and 3
warioware (for me the best in the series for parties)
FFCC (only in multiplayer)

Next to the obvious games like SSB and Mario Kart, the best experience by far came from Zelda 4 Swords Adventure.

To all of those who didn't pay attention to it (almost all people I know), you really need to give it a shot. One of the most entertaining experiences ever in multiplayer if you can get 4 friends and the gameboys necessary.

Also James Bond : Nightfire is underrated for multiplayer.
