Which Gamecube games should a new Gamecube owner get?
 
Hi, people.

Since there are a ton of Nintendo fanboys and fangirl around PC... I need some help and opinions from you.

I got a new job that I'm starting on Friday. And because of this... I am 75-80% interested in buying a Nintendo Gamecube, since the thing only costs less than $100. I might as well get one now since I already got the Xbox and PlayStation 2.

So, I'm asking from all of you what good games, past hits, current hits and upcoming releases, should I get when I do decide to get my Gamecube? Or are there some of you that would suggest that I should save my money for 2006 when the Revolution debuts and buy some Gamecube games then?

Thanks in advance. ^^

Smash Bros Melee, if anything.

Rated R Superstar™ July 6th, 2005 11:45 AM

Yeah,go with SSBM,thats a great game,I didn't sleep for weeks when I first got a GC with that game....

Mario The World Champion July 6th, 2005 11:48 AM

With a majority of GC owners liking SSBM, that will be one of my first picks. I happen to own the first SSB for the N64.

Chairman Kaga July 6th, 2005 5:20 PM

Try Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker...the price is reduced now, I think, and it's incredibly fun. I see Pokemon Colosseum in the bargain bin a lot now, too. If you're hoping for Stadium 3 you'll be sorely disappointed, but it's still $20-$25 worth of fun.

Kurosaki July 6th, 2005 6:30 PM

Yeah, go with SSBM, and Wind Waker, if anything, I also recommend Sonic Adventure 2: Battle. I love that game o.o

Locke Yggdrasill July 6th, 2005 6:33 PM

I certainly reccomend Tales of Symphonia. It can give a lot of playtime. two discs full of fun. Its cel-shaded, in case that puts you off before you buy it. Its an RPG,and i dont even like rpgs but i loved this one. I also reccomend Tony Hawk's underground number one, as the second one was quite a letdown. Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime two are a must have series.

Happy Dude July 6th, 2005 6:43 PM

I would get Pikmin,SSBM and the zelda pack where you get about 4 or 5 games.

Zero ex July 6th, 2005 6:56 PM

Games totally recomended:
SSBM
Tales of symphonia
Metal gear solid : The twin snakes
resident evil 4
Mario tennis

games that this year will be realeased :
The legend of zelda th twilight princess
Fire emblem path of radiance

So far that

Mario The World Champion July 6th, 2005 7:25 PM

Hey, thanks you guys. I appreciate all the input so far.

If you got more games to suggest, keep them coming. ^^

Stevo-kun July 6th, 2005 7:45 PM

Hmm, I would reccomend one that hasn't been said, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, that game is just awesome plus you get cuteness in the chaos too. Hmm lets see, what others haven't been mentioned

OMG the horror =O!!!!, no one mentioned Mario Kart Double Dash, that is an amazing game. I reccomend that too.

Stevo-Kun

Ninja July 6th, 2005 9:23 PM

Sonic 2 battle was terrible.

Get Super Monkey Ball 2. You'll love it.

ArKiVe July 6th, 2005 9:39 PM

If you already have this or already got it um sorry: Get Medal of Honor: Frontline, Ghost Recon, and maybe Mario Party 4.

Breakout July 7th, 2005 12:13 AM

you should definetly get Super Smash Bros Melee,
you should also check out Zelda Windwaker, Tales of Symphonia, Metal Gear Solid, Bomberman Generation, Pikmin...and whaetever else you like.
but stay away from Wrestle Mania it sux.

Billy is about to 135% agree with someone's game choices:

Yes! Tales of Symphonia. Get that game first; as soon as you get your cube, don't leave the store without getting ToS. That and the Metroid Primes are the best games on the system.

Super Smash Brothers Melee is great too; it's still the best 4-player game around, IMO.

But ToS and the Metroid Primes, talk about awesomeness above all others!

Draik July 7th, 2005 8:38 AM

Depends what you like. If your a fantasy action-like person like me. I'll recommend; Tales of Symphonia, Fire Emblem: Path of Radience, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Final Fantasy, Crystal Choronacals, and a Pokemon Colloseum.

Kipkip July 7th, 2005 9:22 AM

I would recommend against getting a Gamecube. Nintendo is abandoning it right now like they do with all their systems over time. They're focusing on the DS and Revolution now. Only one really anticipated game is coming out for the Gamecube which the new Lengend of Zelda. If you are getting one, I would recommend these games:
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
Resident Evil 4
Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door
Viewtiful Joe (Both Games)
Super Smash Brothers Melee
Tales of Symphonia
Metriod Prime (Both Games)

That's all I can think of.

pokejungle July 7th, 2005 9:47 AM

KipKip...Nintendo has plenty for the 'cube coming up.

Including:
-DDR Mario Mix
-FE Path of Radiance
-Twilight Princess
-Pennat Chase Baseball
-Super Mario Strikers
-Mario Baseball
-XD: Gale of Darkness
-Odama
-Battalion Wars
-Giest
-New Kirby game [Untitled]
-Chibi Robo

Not sure why'd you even say that they've given up =/ Check your facts. Just because they didn't make a huge deal about the GCN at the E3 doesn't mean it's out. That's a growing list too.

On topic: All the games poeple have posted are really good. Baten Katios is a horribly overlooked RPG, two disc. Definetly worth it.

People also say that Beyond Good and Evil was EXCELLENT and I think that ones like $20 now.

Mario The World Champion July 7th, 2005 9:57 AM

Hey, thanks you guys. This is a good amount of games that will keep me interested and busy.

However... does the Gamecube have any good racing games?

Draik July 7th, 2005 9:59 AM

If you can count Mario Kart: Double Dash.

pokejungle July 7th, 2005 10:02 AM

Need for Speed: Underground 1 and 2
Street Racing Syndicate
-Misc others that I don't know about XD

Arcanine July 7th, 2005 10:32 AM

Kipkip is right. If it was me I would wait a year and get the Revolution since it plays GC games too.

But if you have 100 bucks and you want the GC then here is games I own/played that I really like and would be good buys.

Super Smash Brothers Melee
If you buy 1 game out there, make it this game. It's my fav game of all time and it will be the one of the Rev comes out (if the one on the Rev is better, but it's hard to beat SSBM).

If you like Sonic games then try
Sonic Heroes
and Sonic Adventure 2: Battle
(I myself liked Sonic Adventure 2 better then Sonic Heroes). Both fun and good games, if you're going to pick only one then go Sonic Adventure 2 because it is more fun.

If you're into Star Wars or like flying games then go with
Star Wars Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike

Tt is a great game and my fav flying game out there.

Star Fox Adventures
and Star Fox Assault.
Both a little too short for my tastes but you might like them.

Mario Kart Double Dash
It's a good game, better if you got someone to play with. The two player mode in this game is great.

Tales of Symphonia
The only GC game I want to play that's out right now. An 8.8/10 rating on GameSpot, the GC's main RPG game. Lots of people say it's a great game, it's some game you should look into and think about getting.

Mario The World Champion July 7th, 2005 10:36 AM

The Revolution has perked my interest every day for sometime now. I only have concerns about the price and the release date.

pokejungle July 7th, 2005 10:45 AM

Revolution has a Q2 / Q3 relese date. So basically a year of waiting IF there's no delays =/

Super_Lawliet July 7th, 2005 10:55 AM

The Lord Of the Rings: The Third Age

It's an amazing game with the battle engie that's like the FF games.

Luigi's Mansion

If you want a few laughs

The Wind Waker

If you want a talking boat

Zoids: Battle Legends

I thought it was a good game...you might enjoy it
