Rummy Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 Right, If you've been in the Wii forum you may have noticed I wanted to spend some money. I have considered I could get an old gamecube game instead, what with the backwards compatibility and all that. So, I'm asking for people to recommend me 1 top gamecube game to buy, actually, make it 2, just in case. What are your 2 most favourite gc games ever? I have most of the obvious, such as; SSBM WW LoZ Disc Sunshine Paper Mario RE4 MP1 MP2 and a few others I can't remember exactly. Preferably after something that'd last me a while, so probably a good RPG, if such a one exists.
fanman Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 Pokémon Colusseum was quite good. Took me about 17 hours to complete too. Animal Crossing was awesome too. If you don't have the DS one, get it.
solitanze Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 Get Eternal Darkness, the only mature game to be released on a Nintendo console in the past 10 years and was a good game despite being a little short and linear. Another possible game, Starfox Adventures, a historic game seeing that its Rares last game ever made for a Nintendo system, lengthy game with good graphics for the time it was released, gameplay falls apart towards the end of the game though and the game has a really annoying clipping issue where when you walk into new areas, the game completely freezes for a second. Also Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, not exactly a great game, but getting a sniff of a Sonycentric franchise is satisfying in itself.
Stocka Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 Tales of Symphonia, Skies of Arcadia and Fire Emblem
That Guy Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 Pikmin 2, and Monkey Ball. Not RPGs but I've never played any Cube ones
spirited away Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 Tales of Symphonia, Skies of Arcadia and Fire Emblem I concur, 3 great rpg's.
c0Zm1c Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 Another possible game, Starfox Adventures, a historic game seeing that its Rares last game ever made for a Nintendo system As far as home consoles go, yes. But Rare have released a number of GBA games since Starfox Adventures, and are working on Diddy Kong Racing for the DS.
mcj metroid Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 Get Eternal Darkness, the only mature game to be released on a Nintendo console in the past 10 years . oh help me god!
c0Zm1c Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 Methinks solitanze hasn't played many Nintendo games. Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem is a damn fine game though, my favourite on Gamecube in fact. Although, not for the reason solitanze gives.
mcj metroid Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 haha that's the best qoute ever.that's going in my sig:D
Guest Stefkov Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 I would say pikmon. Before I got rid of it, it was great. Took me a while to not even finish it... I've still yet to get some of the games mentioned above. Its a shame Tales of Symphonia and Skies of Arcadia are both quite dear. Why wont TOS go below the £30 mark? Why? It may be a good game but the cube is dead!
Emasher Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 i got an amazon gift card for x-mas and i'm planning on buying that game that has lots of old sonic games on it. then with some other money i got i'm planning on buying final fantasy 3 and some wii points (at least enough to buy new super mario bros, probably more)
Rummy Posted December 28, 2006 Author Posted December 28, 2006 Sonic Mega Collection you mean? Best of with it on PS2 or Xbox, they added more stuff. Thanks for the suggestions guys, looks like I'm gonna be looking at Skies of Arcadia or Tales of Symphonia, Eternal Darkness and Pikmin 2(I had the original). Hopefully I can get the lot for under £30. *crosses fingers in false hope*
Zechs Merquise Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 I reckon Metal Ger Solid: Twin Snakes and Battalion Wars or Fire Emblem. Can't go far wrong there.
dabookerman Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 Resident evil 4 is the best GC game to get HOLY FUCKING SHIT MAN< WELCOME BACK I LOVE YOU MAN< COME BACK TO THIS FORUM SO WE CAN POST NEGATIVE THINGS ABOUT NINTENDO FOR LAUGHS
Goron_3 Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 I think you should get tales of symphonia (fabulous) and Fire Emblem, because they are two fantastic games
... Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 WW RE4 MP1 MP2 You're fine with any of these. And yes, Eternal Darkness is pretty damn good too, while not the only mature game on N for the last 10 years. In fact in that list above, all of them are mature games and I'm not talking about ratings
ipaul Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 I would reccomned Batne Katios, especially if your after a gmae that will take you a while to complete.
Konfucius Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 Killer7 the only mature game to be released on a console in the past 1000 years. and SSBM if you play a lot with friends. It's brilliant in multiplayer. otherwise: Wind Waker or Resident Evil 4
The3rdChildren Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 Tales of Symphonia is a must play if you enjoy large RPGs with great characters and a fantastic battle system. It's my favourite GameCube game and definately a strong contender for favourite game ever made.
Jasper Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 Another possible game, Starfox Adventures, a historic game seeing that its Rares last game ever made for a Nintendo system, lengthy game with good graphics for the time it was released, gameplay falls apart towards the end of the game though and the game has a really annoying clipping issue where when you walk into new areas, the game completely freezes for a second. That's a bloody joke. If one game is truly crap - it's that one. it features dinosaurs with English dialects. A stegosaurus sounding lik a Welshman? Now that bloody ruins your game. I bought it, even though I was sceptical - but I always have high hopes for Rare games (Viva Piñata looks great), but this one. There was something ... wrong. It was so faulty and in literally pushed you in the direction to go. No sidequest, nothing to distract your from your main 'adventure'. God I loathed that game. No, get your hands on Paper Mario or Skies of Arcadie (if you can still get it). It's a really top-notch game and an instant classic. And it looks like the Zelda of yore.
Adrian DX Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 Killer7 - Best GC game imo. Its just frickin' awsome or Resident Evil 1, 0 or 4 - Gotta love these games or if you're looking for something else than gore, psychopathy, zombies and blood. You should check out Chibi Robo or any of the Naruto games ^^,
Rummy Posted January 6, 2007 Author Posted January 6, 2007 I was gonna make a new thread, but saw this was still here so I'll use this. Firstly, what is Killer7 like, if you can compare it to something? It looks alot like XIII to me, but does it play similar? How does it play? And my original question; Is Pikmin 2 actually better than Pikmin 1? Lastly, does anyone know somewhere other than eBay where I can actually get old gc games with ease, I've been looking for a number of recommendations in here, but having quite a bit of trouble, much more than I was expecting.

Try doing a google product search, also amazon is good too.
