    Hi guys!

    I've just realised, after looking at my dust-covered Wii, that I'd like to buy some Gamecube games again.

    I've been looking around, desperately trying to remember just what type of games I like. So far what I can come up with are these;

    Virtua Striker 3 2002 [LOVE THIS GAME!]
    Crazy Taxi
    18 Wheeler
    ISS2
    Mario Strikers
    Animal Crossing

    So, can anyone give me some recommendation based on the above? Or just some really good 'Cube games?

    Thanks guys!

    Tony

    PS, I don't like Zelda.

    PPS, will I need a game cube memory card? And does anyone know if these pads are ok? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/WHITE-CONTROL...yZ147176QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

    Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door

    My pics that Barc0de missed:

    Tales of Symphonia (sequel coming to Wii, might want to play the GC one first.... great game too)
    Skies of Arcadia: Legends (only if you want to dedicate 60+ hours to a game... but was one of my GC favs)
    Metroid Prime/Metroid Prime 2 (the definitive adventure shooter on the system)
    Beyond Good and Evil (also on PC, PS2, XB): By far the best game that so few people played... a hidden gem worth finding.
    Second Sight (also for PC, PS2, XB): Fun shooter, cool game mechanics and awesome plot twists. Enjoyed this one a lot.


    [edit] You will need a GC memory card, the GameCube games cannot save to the internal Wii memory. As for that controller they are a little garbage in responsiveness and probably won't last you too long - but it'll get the job done. If you have extra cash to buy an official controller, please do so. :)

    Hope this helps!

    Don't get Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes, unless you don't own the originals or a PS1/PS2/DC(!).

    MGS1 is the best MGS so far in my view:p the GC ver. is the definitive one, unless you want the VR Missions.

    Main problem is that level design is totally not adapted with the MGS2 features : being able to jump over ramps just ruins the game, FPS mode mades you able to finish the game with NO infiltration at all. It's beautiful but it's useless.
    And if you really want to know, in MGS4, you'll be back in Shadow Moses and will play it's true definitive version, not ruined by Silicon Knights shitty jokes.

    Uh... hello, dumbasses? (Except Tauciaus).

    Pikmin
    Pikimin 2

    Such excellent games. How could anyone forget these? Basically the last two games I bust out every now and again.

    I'd also recommend Luigi's Mansion. A real classic, in my opinion.

    Also, I think MGS: Twin Snakes is a pretty good game. It's pretty much identical to the original but with better graphics, new cutscenes, and better controls. Although the PS1 version is a great game, the pixellation and the polygon bending gets annoying at times.

    I like that one. :nod:

    I think Metroid Prime might be my favorite Gamecube game.
