I'd recommend getting Prime, but that comes from a biased place of both it being my favorite game and also finding it easy or at least reasonable to go back to games far more dated than Prime.

Thanks for the recommendation!
Picked it up last night and played a few hours. Good game so far, the only thing I don't like is the controls in some ways (why didn't they just utilise the c-stick to look around?). Let's see if I see the game out.

Edit: was also nice and nostalgic having to refer to the instruction booklet at one point 😂

@Tendo64 Hated that too, you kinda get used to it after a long while but it just doesn't seem intuitive at all. I am guessing the trilogy on the wii changed that, but i never played that version

Hi all, anyone got any experience with PAL Gamecubes and HDTV's. I hooked up the console the other day and it looked pretty bad. I'm looking at starting a project as I really like the physical look of the gamecube. So wanted the best possible solution. So if anyone's done anything similar, your advice would be really helpful.

I'm definitely picking up an mclassic as I want to use it on other consoles as well.

Some other things I've spotted online, are the Carby which converts the digital out to HDMI. RAD2X which I believe converts the Analogue out to HDMI. There's also a homebrew device, which will force gamecube games to output 480p.

What do people recommend? Is there an ideal setup for getting a PAL Gamecube working with a Mclassic?

The Metroid Prime games are rock-solid recommendations on GameCube, but the controls are pretty damn wonky. They look spectacular when you play them through an HDMI adapter on an HDTV.

Played some 5-player Mario Party 7 last weekend. I'm surprised they haven't done 8-player possible on the Switch games, especially with the online possibilites.

I know not many people would know this game but, how many of you have heard of or played Swingerz Golf (also known as Ace Golf in EU)?

@WaterKirby1964 I always get confused with swingerz golf and hot shotz golf but they're both pretty solid.

@NintendoByNature Yeah. Swingerz Golf is a really fun golf game

Here is the longplay for Swingerz Golf:

I just bought "the great escape" for original xbox . I don't believe it was not released on gamecube, 👎

Bought TRUE CRIME STREETS OF LA. Long time since I played it. Looking forward to having another go. Playing it on wii this time though.( i know its the gamecube thread )

@Ninfan haven't played that in forever. I almost liked that series as much as GTA!

@NintendoByNature I prepare the good guys, like in true crime streets of la. Lol
