Gamecube classics?

Ultra_Extreme · 21 May 2006 at 01:12

Hi guys, picked up Tried&Tested 's Gamecube on the MM. Missed this console entirely and would like to catch up now all games are cheap.

Plan on getting the resi remakes+resi 4 anyway. Also wanna get Mario Kart.

Main use will be for multi player as the 360 is not very good for that (offline) and im too tied into the achievement system to do too much offline play on the cube. So mainly itll be a 2 player machine. But any TOP classic SP games welcome, preferably unique ones to that console tho cos others i may have played/ can play on 360.

Cheers

Mario Kart: Double Dash and Super Smash Bros. Melee are great for multiplayer, so is Super Monkey Ball (though that's multiplatform). I've had a lot of fun with multiplayer Mario Tennis too. Also, Timesplitters is probably the best multiplayer FPS for the 'cube, but it's not exclusive.

As for single player must have games; Metroid Prime and Wind Waker are amazing.

Donkey Konga?!

What!!!

Someone mention smash brothers, timesplitters and F-zero before I explode!

Edit:

Good enough Tommo

Ultra_Extreme · 21 May 2006 at 01:21

someone did lol

Ultra_Extreme · 21 May 2006 at 01:21

ooo how is the f-zero on the cube? loved it on snes then on n64

TommoUK · 21 May 2006 at 01:29

I loved F-Zero single player, but didn't get into multiplayer as much. No one wanted to play because there's a semi steep learning curve. If you have a group of people that will want to play it, it'd be great fun.

Kreeeee · 21 May 2006 at 01:34

4 player fzero is awesome! Almost as good as time splitters, mario kart and smash brothers.

metroid prime 1 and 2

Kreeeee · 21 May 2006 at 02:09

I have to reply after jaffa for the pure comedy value...

I never really enjoyed the multiplayer side of metroid.

fergie666 · 21 May 2006 at 02:18

only the 1st resident evil is a remake, resi 2, 3 & code veronica are just ports from the ps1/pc games. just so u know

i also recommend resident evil zero

looks very like the resi remake and is very good to play imo and it is exclusive to the GC

have fun

GC reviews sorted by highest ratings. I must say that Pikmin is very good for single player and Zelda:WW is outstanding. I've updated your trust now too.

Edit: ooh, and Viewtiful Joe...great game!

Resi 1 remake, Resi 4

Timber · 21 May 2006 at 12:31

Posted in another one of these threads, appreciate some have been said:

F-Zero GX
Res Evil Remake/Zero and 4 (the best)
Monkey Ball 1 & 2
Metroid Prime
Animal Crossing
Zelda: Wind Waker
Super Mario Sunshine - second best 3D platformer
Viewtiful Joe

Not great but v.good:
Ikaruga (US or Japanese Version if poss)
Mario Kart Double Dash - fine multiplayer
Mario Golf (although not as strong as the N64 version, I sense the same as Tennis, 7/10 territory)
Mario Party (Any) for multiplayer fun again

i remember seeing a game for the GameCube - your character was a woman, in a white suit - looked good

PK4 or P4 or something like that?

looked good (this was quite some time ago)
