Topic: Favorite Nintendo GameCube game

I can't believe nobody has mentioned Fire Emblem Path of Radiance yet...

I really liked Harvest Moon AWL back then and still do (even when people claim its the worst HM game) but hey its better then the PS2 Version right?

Four Swords Adventures is also a huge Favorite, i mean... Zelda with Multiplayer whats not to like there? (Except maybe how you do set it up yeah...)

Both Metroid Prime games are amazing, and Kirby Air Ride is a must play for me.

As a kid i also loved Doshin the Giant, and Rayman 3 Hoodlum Havoc.

Id have to replay them to say theyre worth playing today thou...

@Lightgazer
I played Harvest Moon A Wonderful Life PS2 version long time ago, never played the Gamecube version as after I discovered something about their differences, for the Gamecube version you cannot continue anymore once credit roll played but in PS2 version, you can keep continuing the game after credit roll.
Gamecube version have different year elapsed for each your son life stage ( 1 - 3 years) but the PS2 version every life stage of your son = 1 year. So 6 chapters = 6 years by total in PS2 version.
Also, only in PS2 version you can marry Luminaries.
I can say the PS2 version was better than Gamecube version in term of gameplay content.

@Anti-Matter

What you say about the PS2 Version is true, there is more content on the PS2 Version and you can play it for aslong as you want (at the end you still die i think but you can "Timeskip" to a time you want and play from there with your Current progress)

However, the Game runs like Garbage on the PS2, if your lucky you get 20-25 FPS, and that if you dont move much.

I own them both, and still id prefer the Gamecube Version over the PS2 one, even when you can marry Lumina in the PS2 Version (which was my Favorite) but i grew older so i tend to go with Muffy now.

Btw, they changed the ages in the PS2 Version just so its not pedophile to marry Lumina, but i dont think they changed the other Girls' Ages, which means Muffy is 30 which is totally fitting now that im almost as old as her (lol)

@Lightgazer
Yeah, the framerate drop to 20 - 25 fps from PS2 version was really pain.
The PS2 version have Chapter 7 (Heaven) to continue your game progress as long as you want (open ending).
Also, I noticed the price of fruits and rare crops changed in PS2 version (sold cheaper than Gamecube version) and the Ruby Spice duplicate trick has been removed in PS2 version.

Luigi’s Mansion
Pikmin 1 and 2
Wind Waker
Paper Mario TTYD

Luigi’s Mansion and Pikmin are still games I revisit once a year (sometimes more). Perfect tight experiences with score systems that give them a high replay value. There’s no better gaming experience for me than sitting down to play Luigi’s Mansion and trying to beat it in one sitting. So much fun, I love the gamecube.

My absolute favourites would have to be the two Metroid Prime games. Like the N64 Zelda games and Wii Mario Galaxy games, these two games are the games I remember first when I think of the console they came out on. Absolutely incredible experiences.
Other notables would include:
F-zero GX
Resident Evil
Super Smash Bros Melee
Zelda: Wind Waker

I’d also say Resi 4, but the gamecube version is probably one of the few that I never played, so I’m not sure if I can count that.

P.N.03.

Gamecube had so many great games and my library of titles for it had most of the best titles...
I'm gonna cheat and say my favorite GameCube-exclusive title.
Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door.
Eternal Darkness and Rogue Leader hold the silver and bronze spots on the podium.

Resident Evil 4 has been ported to Wii, PS2, PS3 and PC.
Tales of Symphonia has been ported to PS2, PS3 and PC.
Metroid Prime 1 and 2 are on Wii as well.
Super Mario: Sunshine's part of the 3D All-Stars collection.
Wind Waker's got an HD remaster on the Wii U. And the Ocarina of Time extra disc is a port of the N64 title.
Twilight Princess has a port on the Wii and an HD remaster on the Wii U.
Super Smash Bros. Melee is a fun fighting game, but I'm a solo player most of the time.
Geist is like a weekend B-movie. Competently entertaining, but not a podium title.
Starfox Adventures was fun, but gave me Jet Force Gemini vibes.
Luigi's Mansion is in the top five of the exclusives.

I'm sure I have a few more in my library, but can't remember them off the top of my head.

@Cyclist people just love posting there fav gamecube game's. LOL

PN.03
METROID PRIME
VIEWTIFUL JOE
WARIO
ETERNAL DARKNESS

For me it's either Mario Superstar Baseball, Need for Speed Most Wanted, or Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness

The remake of Resident Evil. Masterful game, and, IMO, best on GameCube.

With that said, I now associate the console more with Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem. I'm amazed that game has never enjoyed a remaster of port of any sort.

@Ralizah There was that Kickstarter attempt for a spiritual sequel.

Nintendo still holds the rights to the IP, so if they can find a developer to make a game and the interest to comission it, that'd be great.

i have more than just one favorite Nintendo gamecube game. my personal favorites

Gun
Star Wars Rouge Squadron II
Star Wars Clone Wars
Star Wars Rouge Squadron III
WWE Day of Reckoning 1 and 2
Metroid Prime
Resident Evil Remake
Resident Evil 0
Resident Evil Code Veronica
Tales of Symphonia
Mega Man X Collection
Mega Man Anniversary Collection
Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance
Mortal Kombat Deception
Baten Kaitos Eternal Wings

Capcom vs SNK 2. After that I would say Baten Kaitos.

my top 15 is something like this

Zelda: Wind Waker
Super Mario Sunshine
Super Smash Bros Melee
Zelda: Twilight Princess
Paper Mario 2
Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance
F-Zero GX
Pikmin 2
The Simpsons Hit & Run
Thug Mansion
Billy Hatcher
Star Fox Assault
Mario Party 7
Mario Superstar Baseball

F-Zero GX and Prime. Though I kinda hated the latter in my first playthrough because of all the backtracking. But it's grown on me.
Also played a lot of Timesplitters 2.

Metroid Prime 1 is my favorite but some others I really enjoyed and liked almost as much are Eternal Darkness, Resident Evil remake, RE 4, F-Zero GX, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes and Super Smash Bros. Melee.

My favorite Gamecube games.

Eternal Darkness, F-Zero GX, Star Fox: Assault, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4, Mario Kart: Double Dash, V-Rally 3, Freedom Fighters, Resident Evil 4.

I'll have to go with Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. I know it's a Dreamcast port, but I never owned one and experienced it first on the Gamecube. Not only did I love the story modes and spending time nurturing and leveling up chaos, I LOVED the multiplayer modes (curse the special attacks).

Honorable mentions include Super Smash Bros. Melee, Kirby Air Ride, Soul Calibur II, Wario World, & Mario Party 7.

Super Mario Sunshine, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Pokémon Colosseum, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.
