I just picked up the Game Cube, 2 controllers, 2 memory cards, and Zelda:WW for 80 bucks. I'm currently in OoT so I dont want to start WW yet. I was thinking of picking up another game. What are the AAA titles on the GC?(no multi console games, I already have an Xbox/PS2) I'm leaning towards Monkey Ball because my wife may like it.

 

[Gorgie]

Monkey Ball (either one) are very good. Also, don't forget Metroid Prime, Mario Kart, Smash Bros, and F-Zero GX.

 

[king zell]

SMB 2
Viewtiful Joe $30
F-Zero GX $20
Metroid Prime $20
Skies of Arcadia Legend $20

 

[human5892]

-Monkey Ball 1+2
-Super Mario Sunshine
-Metroid Prime
-Super Smash Bros.
-Viewtiful Joe
-Resident Evil Remake
-Star Wars: Rogue Squadron II (Rebel Strike only if you REALLY like RSII)
-F-Zero GX
-Skies of Arcadia
-Soul Calibur II
-Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles
-Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes

I tried to list a game or two from a lot of different genres, so that list should have you fairly well covered, but there's a lot more than just that, I assure you.

 

[KingGondo]

My favorites are Viewtiful Joe, Ikaruga, and Super Smash Bros. Melee. You can't go wrong with any. Metroid Prime is also worth picking up, as I believe it's only $30 now.

 

[DrLazy]

My Girlfriend LOVES Monkey Ball 2, so that might be a good idea. I'd reccomend party games likes SSB:M, Monkey Ball 2, a cheap Mario Party, and other games that are now budget price all over.

If your looking for signle player, you can't go wrong with Metroid Prime, and maybe F-Zero or Ikaruga if you like simple yet really hard games.

 

[Diomedeskun]

If you are looking for something to play with your wife, Mario Kart Double Dash provides not only the wonderful competition of past Mario Karts, but a truly enjoyable co-op play that requires constant communication to properly play.

 

[Xenon]

Ohhhh yeah, I totally forgot about Joe. Hmmmm I'm sure SMB 1 is cheap so maybe I'll get both.

 

[NWO]

-Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes
-Metroid Prime
-Super Smash Bros.
-Star Wars: Rogue Squadron II
-F-Zero

Get these now. Along with either of the Monkey Balls. There really isn't that big difference between the 2 except that you should be able to find the first one for a lot cheaper.

Coming up

-Metroid Prime 2
-Resident Evil 4
-Paper Mario 2
-"Realistic" Zelda

 

[bjork]

Animal Crossing

 

[Xenon]

-"Realistic" Zelda

/\ = The main reason I bought the thing.


I have heard mixed reviews on WW but I'm having so much fun with Oot. I thought I would give it a try.

 

[Kiriku]

Both Resident Evil and Resident Evil 0 are fun adventures too (especially the first one), the should both be pretty cheap by now.

Viewtiful Joe is cool, and F-Zero GX is fast. Both are hard, but I'd still recommend them.

[Fallopian Tube]

Eternal Darkness. Best game on GC.

 

[Crazymoogle]

Animal Crossing

^^^^

AC has fiendish connectivity all over the place, it addicts like Harvest Moon...and I couldn't stop playing it for the first six months.

 

[Kuramu]

Monkey Target in Super Monkey Ball 1 is the best reason to own a GC. Endless multiplayer fun

edit: I stress SMB1, not the bastardized SMB2 version of monkey target

 

[B'z-chan]

-Monkey Ball 1+2
-Super Mario Sunshine
-Metroid Prime
-Super Smash Bros.
-Viewtiful Joe
-Resident Evil Remake
-Star Wars: Rogue Squadron II (Rebel Strike only if you REALLY like RSII)
-F-Zero GX

This list goes without saying, but here are a few more to add to this list, which is by far the must have for any cube fan.

-Resident Evil Zero
-Zelda Windwaker (also if you can find the collectors discs thats a great disc to pick up)
-Giftpia (Iimport, its really cheap and its worth it)
-Animal Crossing
-PNO3 (maybe more so a rental but none the less great)
-Beach Spikers (why oh why did i get rid of this game)

none the less get these games and you'll be having fun in no time.

 

[Laurent]

+ Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes
+ Resident Evil
+ Super Mario Sunshine (IT'S FUN! >_<)
+ Eternal Darkness
+ Soul Calibur II
+ Viewtiful Joe
+ XII
+ Metroid Prime

[Sho Nuff]

 

[Musashi Wins!]

I want that version of Mr. Driller pretty badly, but supposedly you can't save on a US machine with the Freeloader

 

[AniHawk]

-Super Monkey Ball
-Super Monkey Ball 2
-Super Mario Sunshine
-Metroid Prime
-Super Smash Bros. Melee
-Viewtiful Joe
-Resident Evil Remake
-Star Wars: Rogue Squadron II (Rebel Strike only if you REALLY like RSII. RSII is a two player game in Rebel Strike)
-Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
-F-Zero GX
-Skies of Arcadia (make sure to stick with it)
-Soul Calibur II
-Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes
-Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem
-Pikmin
-Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life
-Animal Crossing (incredibly slow, yet just as addicting)
-The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (make sure to stick with it until the end)

Then on the cheap side of things, Sonic Mega Collection is really good for $20. Also, if you have enough friends to do it, check out Pac-Man Vs., The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventure (though the game is good enough in single player), and Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles (which is far from good in single player).

Coming up:

Donkey Konga
Resident Evil 4
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes (multiplayer rocks)
Viewtiful Joe 2
Tales of Symphonia
Pikmin 2
Star Fox 2
Paper Mario 2
Baten Kaitos

 

[jarrod]

Quick top 5 (no order)...

-Pikmin
-F-Zero GX
-Super Mario Sunshine
-Viewtiful Joe (though you might want the enhanced PS2 port if it's cheap)
-Super Monkey Ball (again, possible PS2 port)

...and upcoming...

-Pikmin 2
-Tales of Symphonia (possible PS2 port, though it looks unlikely)
-Paper Mario 2
-Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat
-Puyo Pop Fever (exclusive here except for handhelds)

 

[dorikyasu]

Get Metroid Prime & Eternal Darkness...

 

[Xenon]

Viewtiful Joe..... enhanced PS2 port

Is that coming out soon?

 

[jarrod]

Is that coming out soon?

September. Then again, the only confirmed upgrades so far are SD Dante as a hidden playable character and slightly lower IQ. Might not be worth the extra $20 really, I'd still wait to see what might be added though...
