Hi everyone, I have a wii and it is the first console I have owned since the atari 2600, some friends have turned me onto GC games Eternal Darkness and Beyond Good and Evil, both of which I really loved playing. I also tried Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance which is not nearly as good but still a nice escape. This made me wonder if I am missing any other gems from the gamecube days. any suggestions?

Feel free to add me and contact me
Darn you Nintendo, my backlog is already out of control and you are just making it worse with these new game announcements!!!!

one way is to check metacritic and choose the best rated gamecube games. they're really quite good and incredibly cheap, which is awesome, but personally i really prefer the wii remotes - if only they could be somehow remade automatically on the console.

If you're into arcade shooters, Ikaruga is an easy choice.

yes, but if you have a low budget, as do i, it's not a cheap one. if you find it at a gamestop, it cost me $40... $10 more than what they charge for the gamecube itself!. i knew i wanted it, so i got it, but i had to save for a bit.

Twiilight Princess is out on both Gamecube and Wii, and as only have the Wii version, I'd have to recommend that version

If you like horror games then try Resident Evil.

Resi 4, especially. FANTASTIC, even if you don't like horror games (it will scare you in parts... but as a whole it's more of an actoin game). it's one of my favorite games EVER.

Yeah, Resident Evil 4 was pretty much made of win.

Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time is sorely missed in this thread so far. What a jewel, one of the few games on the Cube that can compete with 1st party efforts. I'd put that in my top 5 with Wind Waker, Burnout 2, Melee and Metroid Prime.

If you're into weird stuff - like I am - there's also the Capcom "Five": Viewtiful Joe, Killer7, Resident Evil 4 and (to a lesser extent) PN 03.

@tealove: yes, PoP is great as well. another favorite of mine. i just don't want to take the time to list them all, because i collect GC games and the list would be huge.

and that's only 4, though they are all worth looking into. except killer7. i mean, you ought to try it, but it's not for everyone. i'm not a fan.

Oh yeah, that game is also pretty good. I have it on the PC.

What is known as "the Capcom Five" are in fact only four released games (and one canceled game - Dead Phoenix). I'm loving Killer7, but again, I like weird stuff.
