Cheap & good 'cube games

[guyjin]

So the Wii happens to play Gamecube games. Since I've never had a gamecube before, I'm asking for reccomendations for good 'cube games that are inexpensive.

[Seldane]

There are no good Gamecube games.

[guyjin]

you would say that.

[Nazi NecroPhile]

I've enjoyed what little I've played of Prince of Persia: Sands of Time and Metroid Prime.  I've also had fun playing Lego Star Wars with my nephews, but it's easy and can get tedious.

[Seldane]

Oh right. Metroid Prime. It's pretty good, get it.

[Keranu]

Luigi's Mansion, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Mario Sunshine (it's pretty fun for the most part, definitely not as bad as folks will make it out to be. Just gets tiring after you beat so many levels.), Ikaruga, Super Monkey Ball 1 and 2, and possibly Zelda: Wind Waker even though that game bores the crap out of me past the first dungeon, but you might enjoy it.

[gundarN]

I'd add Mario Golf and possibly F-Zero GX.

[Keranu]

Oh and Mario Kart Double Dash!! is decent too, though I didn't like it as much as Mario Kart 64.

[Seldane]

Super Mario Sunshine is even worse than what folks make it out to be. Big warning.

Mmm, let's see.... I like Viewtiful Joe 2. Cool game.

Pac-Man World 2 isn't bad either, but by no means revolutionary. Kinda like Pac-Land but in 3D. Mindless fun-type stuff.

[GUTS]

Chibi Robo is honestly one of the best games of last year, and definitely my favorite GC game by far.  It's only like $15 now.

[PCEngineHell]

P.N.03,Ikaruga,Capcom versus SNK 2,Eternal Darkness,Resident Evil 4,Metroid Prime 1&2,Terminator 3 Redemption,MGS Twin Snakes,Godzilla Destroy all monsters Melee,,Bloody Roar,Soul Calibur 2. There are alot of others too like the great titles listed above..

[TR0N]

Killer 7

Bomberman Generations&Bomberman Jetters:Note long as you have friends to play with in vs mode.

[Keranu]

Yeah, Bomberman Jetters has a pretty cool multiplayer mode, but I could never figure out the single player mode and got bored with it.

Also, I didn't know Gamecube had CvS2, I must've forgotten. Man it must be weird playing a fighting game on that controller!

[Turbo D]

Animal Crossing = Best GameCube game ever!!!

[Hobo Xiphas]

Capcom versus SNK 2

Doesn't EO have retarded Agetec-style shortcut buttons?  If so, I think that would kinda ruin the game.

P.N. 03

P.N. 03 is really an acquired taste, I find it hard to recommend to people.  Some people really, really like it while others really, really hate it.

<cough>

Anyways, I'd definately recommend Ikaruga if you don't have it for Dreamcast already.

Super Monkey Ball 1 and 2 are fun little games, if you like games like Marble Madness I'd highly recommend it to you.

If you are into strategy RPGs, I would highly recommend the Gamecube Fire Emblem; it blows away the GBA games in my opinion.  As for other games in the genre, Gladius is most definately cheap, but it is pretty mediocre.  The Battallion Wars games are equally good.  Animal Crossing is a fun game, however I got tired of it after a month or two - but I played the hell out of it for those one or two months.

[guyjin]

OK, so I bought 4 games. All were less than $15, and two were less than $10.

Viewtiful Joe
Bomberman Jetters
Jeremy Hatcher and the giant egg
Donkey Kong Jungle beat

Played 'em all except VJ; probably won't get to until tomorrow at least.
My thoughts:
Bomberman Jetters: BOMBERMAN SHOULD NOT TALK. And if he must, please give him a voice that isn't female. and isn't obviously done by the same voice actor as another character. Also, the one player mode seems a bit easy, but I haven't got very far.

Jeremy Hatcher: The best game of the bunch so far. Its simple, its fun, and its goofy. Why this game doesn't get more recognition, I don't know.

Donkey Kong Jungle Beat: This was not what I expected. I thought this would be Donkey Conga 2. It isn't; it's a platformer you play with the congas. (LERN 2 REED TEH BOX NEWB!) I was dissapointed at first, but it's actually fun. i still want the actual music game, though. (I got two conga controllers for 7 bucks, BTW.)

So, sadly, unless VJ is an order of magnitude worse than expected, BJ is the worst game of the bunch so far

[nat]

Viewtiful Joe is one I recommended.

And you might find it's the best of the bunch. I like Viewtiful Joe 2 best myself but they're both good. Actually one of my favorite GC games.

[Seldane]

Zelda The Wind Waker is decent. At least it is very pleasing graphically, but the game itself is pretty boring. My least favorite 3d Zelda game (I love the others).

[Keranu]

Donkey Kong Jungle Beat: This was not what I expected. I thought this would be Donkey Conga 2. It isn't; it's a platformer you play with the congas. (LERN 2 REED TEH BOX NEWB!) I was dissapointed at first, but it's actually fun. i still want the actual music game, though. (I got two conga controllers for 7 bucks, BTW.)

I've been wanting to get this game. While my house has the two Donkey Konga games and they are fun, I like the unique gameplay of this one. I've only played a little bit of it at the store and thought it was a lotta fun.

[Turbo D]

doode, go out and buy animal crossing. It even comes with its own memory card to be dedicated to it. you can even play oldskool nes games on there too, its like it has its own virtual console built in.

[Hobo Xiphas]

Jeremy Hatcher: The best game of the bunch so far. Its simple, its fun, and its goofy. Why this game doesn't get more recognition, I don't know.

Hahaha, Billy Hatcher.

I didn't really like that game, I found it to be pretty buggy.  I love the ridiculous concept though.

[Seldane]

Billy Hatcher was originally a N64 game, but got ported over to the GC.

[guyjin]

Hahaha, Billy Hatcher.

Freudian Slip. There was a book I read as a kid that I loved, called 'Jeremy Thatcher, dragon hatcher'.

[Seldane]

Goddamn, this video made me want to hook up the old 'cube again. Damn!!
