Well, I ordered a last gen console...

[Flying-Emu]

Super Mario Sunshine, Metroid Prime 1 & 2, Pikmin, and maybe Star Fox Assault.

IT'S A TRAP!

Star Fox Assault is good for a week-long rental maybe.

Yeah, but I'd still get it, just because Gamecube games are so cheap right now and it probably won't be on store shelves too much longer. For $50, screw it, but a used copy at Gamestop, maybe.

 

[Goldbling]

A game to NEVER EVER FUCKING BUY! Is Aquaman... thee WORST game ever made in the history of time and space. It's like the pluto nash of the video game world.

WTF, am I the only person on Earth that likes that movie?

anyways Pikmen and there is also a collection of Zelda games compiled into one box. GET THEM!

 

[Flunk]

Christ, they're worth so little resale you could just have had mine for free.

 

[Daedalus1942]

Luigi's mansion...... I Liked it.....

As did I. It was too easy though, and no replayability as i don't like replaying games that are just mirrored (here's looking at you, Ape Escape II *shudder*, even if you do get to play as Spike).

I just ordered myself a Gamecube. After never having one, and getting more and more into older games I decided "why not?".

Looks kind of fun, some nice games out for it, I'll be on the lookout for Legend Of Zelda: The Twilight Princess, Burnout 2, Super Smash Bro's, F - Zero GX and it comes with Tony Hawks Underground.

Any other suggestions?

Also, have you purchased a last gen console recently?

No shame in that. I paid $40 for a gamecube, just so i could play Starfox adventures and both the metroid primes.

a new version of metroid prime is coming out for the wii, all the metroid prime games but updated for wii controls and the wii aiming in prime 3 worked really well

That's great, and when it becomes very cheap in say 4 years, I'll probably buy it just for prime 3 and Metroid M, but at the moment, I have no interest in the Wii, at all (not even for Monster Hunter 3, the next in the series that I love.)

 

[Da_Schwartz]

Re4, Re0, LoZ windwaker, SSMB, luigis mansion. Your good to go, oh and if you have friends mario parties. rent those first though and decide which one you like best.

 

[hopeneverdies]

Really? I thought this [http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/pc/bigrigsovertheroadracing?q=] was the worst of all time. I mean, hell, Aquaman got a 27% score. This got an 8!

If you read the review that is liked to Gamespot, one of the games you might "like" is Superman 64. Seriously, that was on the list on the side.

But Pikmin 2 is a must get if you ask me, don't worry about playing the first one though, I mean it's good and all but 2 felt more polished.

Wind Wwaker, Melee, but you know that already. Mario Kart double Dash is alright, doesn't beat the Wii version but still. The Mario parties as well.

I agree with you on Mario Kart Wii. You know whats really sad though? Mario Kart 64 is even better.

You know what makes DD much more fun? Playing the coop races with 3 other people. Its mad fun trying to coordinate to beat the enemy, and that beats the 64 version anyday

Oh please, the game play in Mario Kart Wii is piss poor and they took out the battle mode, thats a fail right there.

 

[Straitjacketeering]

Metal gear solid, the twin snakes, nice reboot of the series wih some sweet matrixy cutscenes

 

[Valiance]

2) Robotech Battlecry- This is a lengthy game that is also a very rewarding challenge. The mechanics of it leave something to be desired but the rewarding experience of final winning a mission overcomes that.

I'll be honest here, I think this game had a lot of potential but wasn't too good. :/

I'm surprised no one here mentioned XIII, and not as much Windwaker as I expected.

But yeah, Soulcalibur 2, both zeldas, both metroids, etc... everything I can think of has already been named...Viewtiful Joe, etc...

 

[mikecoulter]

*snip*

Where did you get the Gamecube, if I might ask?

Anyway, I recommend Timesplitters Future Perfect. Best damn fun I've had with split screen multiplayer in ages.

Well, I've been trawling the internet for a day or two and finally settled for one I found on eBay.

 

[similar.squirrel]

Reading over this, I have the nasty suspicion that gaming will never be as great as the last generation again..=/

And I missed out because I couldn't afford anything.

Well, I'd accept it if you're willing!

Hmm, okay. I only asked because my local Wal Mart still sells Gamecubes. Been ages since they've sold the games, but they still stock the Gamecubes.

Battle mode IS a little lame in Wii, but there's a way to make it 1 on 1. If you know how. And the gameplay is different, are you one of those people who hate the removal of snaking? It was a good idea to get rid of that gamebreaking strategy.

Well yeah, it's all about the game play to me. It just feels less strategic and the fact that the overpowered weapons come so often makes the game more about luck than ever before.

I don't know what exactly snaking is but I think I know, you mean skidding by holding down the R button or whatever and it makes you turn faster. That was a flipping awesome strategy and it gave the novice players find more ways to test themselves in the game, very big selling point. That alone is enough to put me off the game entirely and unfortunately this isn't the only game that has done stuff like this.

However this doesn't make the game shit, it has got it's pros like the online play feature and what not, but compared to the game play in the early Mario Karts it doesn't compare.
