I picked up Beyond Good and Evil, and I already had all the Zelda games (besides four swords) and I'll be picking up Four Swords as soon as I can find a mint one. There are about 10 games left that I want, but I'm having a heck of a time finding them in good condition at Gamestop.
Pikmin, kirby air ride, mario party 7, luigi's mansion, and Animal Crossing.
Yep, these are all on the list. I really doubt I will ever play Pikmin or Animal crossing, but I feel like they are essential titles for a quality Gamecube collection.
I also HATE the fact that Gamestop puts stickers directly on the box art. Removing them either damages the box art, or leaves sticky residue all over. I actually mentioned this to an employee there today, and he said that they recently received a national memo stating they can no longer do this on incoming used games (all systems), because they received so many complaints. Now they are going to put the prices only on the front cover, and on the outside of the plastic. YES! I've passed over so many damn games because of this, and now I won't have to any longer.
I know, I HATE that. one gamestop employee called me "chubs" just randomly. I'm not that fat, either.

Animal Crossing, I can totally understand. However, I doubt you won't play Pikmin. It's really short yet really fun. The "real" game isn't just seeing the ending, it's having multiple playthroughs, getting through the game with fewest deaths, with fastest times, etc.
It's got a high score chart, too, so it's almost like an arcade game of sorts. Kinda.
I HAVE Super Mario Sunshine Luigi's Mansion Star Fox Assault Mario Kart Double Dash Paper Mario: the Millennnium Door Sonic Adventure DX Ocarina of Time Wind Waker Four Swords Adventures SSB Melee

If any of you like FPSs I would definitely recommend Timesplitters: Future Perfect. The story mode isn't too great, but the multiplayer is better than most shooters out there today. There are over 150 characters to play as and over 30 weapons to use. The best part about it though, is that you can make your own maps that are very customizable. This game is my favorite FPS; it shows that games don't need to be new to be fun.
Hmm... a solid collection, but there are some great third-party games that you are missing out on. I've listed some games below that are all rated T and are solid choices. Just be sure to read some reviews and make up your own mind instead of taking someone else's word for it.
The Simpsons Hit & Run -- Possibly the best Simpsons video game? Gives the player a GTA-style open world (ie: Springfield) to explore, with mission-based tasks that drive the story forward. Funny and fun to play, unlike most of the other Simpsons games.
Dr Muto -- An oddball platform game where you run around levels picking up tons of collectible items. Morph into different creatures and make use of bizarre inventions to uncover secrets and hidden areas. The humor is better than I expected when starting out, and the game is actually quite charming if you like platformers.
The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction -- This superhero game just "feels" right. The controls are tight and the move-set is just complex enough to always keep you entertained without being frustrating. If you want a beat'em up or action game, this under-appreciated gem is a great choice.
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance -- Either you like these kind of strategy games or you don't... but if they appeal to you then this is a great choice. Challenging, epic storyline, and very deep. It's also the only first party Nintendo game I'm listing here.
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time -- Given the recent attention on this series due to the movie, it's nice to find that the original remake still holds up well. Each level is a mix of puzzle and platforming elements as you figure out how to move across seemingly impossible paths to reach your goal. Well worth picking up!
Star Wars: Rogue Leader -- This game was released at the GameCube launch, but still looks better than many Wii titles. The flight controls feel a bit clunky at times... but after you get used to them it's a wonderful game. Well worth playing for any Star Wars fan. (If you don't like the movies then maybe ignore this recommendation.)
Soul Calibur 2 -- Sure, sequels have already been released. That doesn't stop this from being one of the best fighting games available, not to mention better balanced than the most recent version. Soul Calibur 2 is a great example of games that stand the test of time.
X-Men Legends (1 or 2) -- Multi-player beat'em up that makes great use of the license and is (arguably) better than the Wii sequels. Both solid games and worth looking at if you have any interest in the license.
Well last night I went out and actually bought a new Gamecube and among others. However I picked up Battalion Wars. Im about and hour in and so far its pretty fun. Also if your a fan of Advance Wars and wondered what it would be like in 3D instead of 2D know you can know.
Thanks for all of the great recommendations! I think I have a complete list of all of the games that I now want. I'm really trying my best to not just collect for the Gamecube, but only buy games I truly want to play.
