Gamecube Recommendations

[Sparda]

Hi guys, I just wanted to know what are good recomends for the Gamecube games?

I'm planning on buying a used one from Gamestop or EBgames along with Resident Evil 4,0, and remake. Now I know the Wii is out right now but the games it has and the waving my arms around does'nt sound appealing.

Plan to get the New zelda game for the cube in the future and wanted to know any other good games out there for the cube. Also as a question, does Madcat's memory cards work well? People have said it was crap. And does a Gamecube memory card alone save up to like say 10 games?

Mario Kart: Double Dash and Animal Crossing.

[PanzerMega]

Good choices so far.

Also, Paper Mario and Smash Bros.

[Serik]

Super Monkey Ball
Super Mario Strikers (a soccer game)

[SPS1000]

Metroid Prime 1 and 2 also.

A Nintendo Memory Card 251 will easily hold 10 games if the saves are 12 blocks or less. The bigger one will probably be the only one you need. Also if you buy Animal Crossing new you will get a 48 block memory card with it for free and on the memory card it has a couple of extra items for Animal Crossing on it.

Etenal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem. If you like the RE series you should like this game. You can find it fairly cheap since it came out early after the GC release. The "insanity effects" will drive you...well, insane. It has a great story too. Luigi's Mansion was a game I really enjoyed too.

Not long after they came out I went through all three systems(GC, PS2, XBox) and have to say that GC was my favorite. Part of the reason I'll be picking up a Wii is because it's back-compatible with GC games.

Also, you may want to look into Starfox Adv and LOZ:Windwaker.

Thanks guys for the recommend. Just gotten the system today and am quite enjoying it alot. Only thing I'll buy next is an extension cord for the controller. My god RE remake is beatiful. Since I got the PS2 from long ago, last game I'll officially buy of the PS2 is Metal Gear 3 Subsistence. Now hope by luck that I can find Metal gear solid: twin snakes. Heard it's hard to find now :(.

Oh well no bigger, got orginal anyway. Thanks for the recommends guys!!!!!

Viewtifull joe.

Pikmin and Pikmin 2. Light fun strategy games from Shigeru Mayamoto the creative genius behind mario and zelda.

Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters. fun cheesy beatem up. Big mosters fighting in Tokyo, New York and Monster Island.

Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes. The classic MGS 1 game with refined graphics and it's classic gameplay.

Viewtiful Joe 1 & 2. Fun and hilarious beat em up.

Super Mario Sunshine. Classic platforming. plays like a refined Mario 64. Which itself set the standard for 3d gaming for the past 10 years.

Legend Of Zelda: Windwaker. great but slightly flawed game.

[chicainery]

Paper mario.


I'm having a great time with Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door right now.

[Kid Bushido]

I highly recommend Tales of Symphonia.
Seconded and thirded. Esaily the best RPG for the Gamecube.

My friend enjoys Skies of Arcadia on the Gamecube. They evidently corrected many of the Dreamcast version's flaws when they ported it to the GC.

[cactusmaac]

MGS: Twin Snakes
Star Wars Rogue Squadron: Rogue Leader 1 & 2
Pikmin
Metroid Prime 1 & 2
Zelda: The Wind Waker
Eternal Darkness
Beyond Good and Evil
F-Zero GX

Flaws? The game was perfect as is.

[Serik]

I heard complaints that the DC version had too many random battles and in response they reduced the encounter rate in the GC port...

[Yun Lao]

While I'm not recommending you should buy it, I will recommend that you try out Killer 7

[RickThunderclees]

I highly recommend Tales of Symphonia.
I can't recommend the above game enough...


Also,

Paper Mario 2
Metroid Prime
Smash Bros. Melee
Legend of Zelda: Windwaker



Enjoy
