Get the Mario Kart Double Dash Bundle or the Super Smash Bros Bundle.
and I recamend you pick up a wireless Wavebird controler aswell. good games to pick up: The other one tht you don't get in the bundle (Super Smash Bros or Double Dash) Tales of Symponia Mario Power Tenis Starfox Assult (might be short, but fun!) Donkey Kong Jungle Beat (You need Bongos for it to be really fun.) Donkey Konga (If your gonna get the set of Bongo's might as well get this that comes with em') Paper Mario 2 (Crump rox) I've still yet to get Smash Bros.....*sigh* |
Well, I'm still interested in getting a Gamecube, but I'm thinking about getting me a used one to save a few bucks.
I know a few video game places in my area that I can find a good deal. |
If you're a Mario fan, you should get either Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Mario Power Tennis, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door or Super Mario Sunshine. If you're a Pokemon fan, you should get Pokemon Colosseum. If you're just a basic Nintendo fan, you should get Super Smash Bros. Melee. Or, if you want a title without major-league characters, you should get Animal Crossing.
|
On second thought, you should probably wait until Revo comes out. It's gonna play Gamecube games and is probably gonna be less than $300. If you really just want to spend $100, though, I guess you'd still want to go with the Cube. But, the real reason behind this post is that I have another suggestion!
Skies of Arcadia: It's very entertaining once you get past the lacklustre graphics as the gameplay, battle styles (especially ship battles; haven't seen that anywhere else), and story are great. I just finished the game, and am now wishing that I hadn't. I was that enthralled. And it's only $20! Robotech: Battlecry That game is really difficult but at the same time extremely fun and addicting. Even when a mission is like impossible, you'll find yoursefl coming back over and over until you finally beat it without even getting frustrated. I loved this game so much that I went out and bought a DVD of the show (which is not really saying much as I just happened to see it at a pharmacy and decided to buy it because it was only $2.99, but that's besides the point! or is it? Whatever, this parenthetical comment has lasted way too long). Alright, that's it. |
Heck, maybe I should buy the Gamecube, then save up 450-500 bucks and wait for the Revolution to arrive.
|
It's your choice, but I say just go with Revo. That rhymed, I think it means you have to do it now.
|
If you are going to get a GC then you should get a used one like you said. You'll spend a lot less on the GC, you'll be using it for like a year anyway (that's kind of a short life span on a system to buy a new one). So no need to buy a new one.
And on top of that you might have a hard time searching for GC games next year. So go with a used one and play it till the Rev comes out then you can sell the GC and make a little money off of it. |
A lot of places up here (Canada...) are selling Gamecube bundles. Since I've seen the Canadian Best Buys advertising it, I assume it can't be all that much different in the US. But anyway, the bundles here consist of a Gamecube, Tales of Symphonia, and your choice of one more "Player's Choice" game... of which there is quite a selction (namely LoZ: Wind Waker, since a lot of people recommend that). Again, I don't know if there are any deals similar in the States, but there must be somewhere. If not, then yes, I would agree that you should go for a previously owned GCN--especially if you're planning to get the Revolution.
Anyway, as for games, in my totally biased opinion, you should get Tales of Symphonia, especially if you like RPGs as the Gamecube is a system that's rather lacking in that department... so TOS is definitely a good bet for that. As others have said, Super Smash Brothers Melee is another good one... basically since it's a game pretty much anyone can get, so it's great for when people are over and it's also just a great game all around. For racing... well, I myself didn't really enjoy Mario Kart Double Dash. It was just too complicated for a racing game. Other people seemed to like it, though, so it might not be so bad. :\ Paper Mario 2 (The Thousand Year Door) is another really good game. You don't even need to have played the first one, since this one is self-sufficient and it really is a good game. ^^; Pokemon Colloseum isn't that great... so I'd only suggest it if you're a mega Pokemon fan. x_o; It's fun, but it gets redundant pretty quickly imo... Really, I'd suggest getting your 'cube with a few staple games (read as: Super Smash Brothers) and then go out and rent a few different games, figure out what you like, and then go it from there. ^^; That way if you don't like something, you aren't stuck with it and you've still got money for other games that you like more. |
I say if you desire a racing/ adventure game, Kirby Airride, You get adventure in city trial(kind of) and racing in the other two modes of play.
|
Super Smash Bros. Melee. Every cube owner should have it.

Also, since the good games have been out for at least a year or two, they are cheap to get as well. So, I can go to EB Games and get some of them for the price of 2 new GC games. But about selling the GC... I think I'll hang onto it. I have a few friends in my neighborhood that WANT to play the Gamecube. So, I'll let them borrow it while I have the Revolution. XD |
SSMB is a good game to get first. Especially if you have younger siblings. It's a great four player game.
|
I recomend:
Animal Crossing VERY ADDICTING Sonic adventure 2 battle Who cant resist chaos Super mario sunshine Good all around game |
Animal Crossing can get boring after awhile =/ Its fun to have some friends in your village ^0^
|
I'm so glad I have 10 cousins! It never gets boring when playing against them
|
XD You can only have three other people in your town oo;
I SO wish it was simoutaneous multiplayer too. |
3 WORDS:
RESIDENT EVIL 4 Get it. now |
I know thats why The older four of us have gamecubes and the game and memory cards
|
Hey, everybody. Thank you for all your suggestions. I just got a job and started working. So, I'll save up some cash now and get my new Gamecube in about 2-3 weeks.
If you have anymore suggestions... please feel free to tell me. ^^ |
Dont you mean "new" because I was reading older posts and you were going to buy a used gamecube Anyways one more suggestion:
Pokemon colleseum Good game easy yet challenging at times |
Hmm. Here are the games that I would get:
Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes Super Smash Brother Melee Sonic Adventure 2: Battle Sonic Heros The Legend Of Zelda: The Wind Waker And Shadow The Hedgehog, for when it comes out. |
Well, when I get that used Gamecube, it will be a new system to me.
And I was also thinking about Pokemon Colleseum for my Pokemon fix. ^^ |
Colosseum isn't that great =/ You might just want to get XD: Gale of Darkness on October third =D
|
Oh, I am planning on getting Pokemon XD: Gale Of Darkness also.
However, I have to get Pokemon Colluseum just becasue I've gotten most of the major Pokemon games. |
Heres a list of games i would recomend.
Super Smash Bros. Melee An awesome gamecube game.It is extremely fun when playing multiplayer against friends, and it is still fun when playing multiplayer against CPUs. Tales of Syphonia Another awesome game, great story, challenging enemys, cel-shaded graphics, and over 80 hours of gameplay. Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker Challenging enemys, cel-shaded graphics, and over 40 hours of gameplay. Final Fanasy: Crystal Chronicals Great game for Final Fantasy fans, challenging enemys and bosses, yet, if you are good enough, the game can get too easy. Mario Kart: Double Dash A fun racing game that is like Mario Kart 64 and Mario Kart: Super Circut, but with some new features. NBA Street V3 A very fun game if you like basketball.With the features to create new basketball players, and teams, the game can be long and fun.There is also other features like create a court, and you can play as people not in the NBA like the Beastie Boys, and you can play as the following nintendo characters: Mario, Luigi, and Peach. Paper Mario 2: The Thousand-Year-Door A fun game, you don't need to play the first Paper Mario since the storyline is almost totally different from Paper Mario 1, the arena in Glitzville is fun and there are certain requrements with each arena challenge. Upcoming GC games i would recomend: FE Path of Radiance Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness Legend of Zelda: The Twilight Princess Shadow the Hedhodge |
