I think Monkeyball is the best game on the system. Also love and really rate ....
RE 0 (one of the best RE games)
Star Fox Adv - I just don't get the hate
Sega Soccer Slam - overlooked gem of a game thats so much fun
Metroid Prime - Almost as good as Exhumed
Vewtiful Joe - classic game if a little too hard
Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat - Classic game so much fun and so clever too
Star WarsRS II - Great game and also one of the best looking games from that gen too
F-Zero GX - The days when SEGA Japan were The Best There Is, The Best There Was, The Best There Ever Will Be
The GameCube was my favourite Nintendo console. Much preferred it to the N64 and gimmicky Wii. My favourite games on it were the Resident Evil Remake, that game still looks stunning today fourteen years after it's release, and Resident Evil Zero. Yeah OK so I was a big Resi fan back in the day but they really were worth owning a GameCube for. I also had the Game Boy Advance adaptor for the GameCube and spent countless days playing Advance Wars on my TV. Good times!
These haven't been listed yet.
Ikaruga (fun and very unique shoot em up)
Star Wars Rebel Strike (sequel to Rogue Leader, includes original arcade game as unlockable)
Fire Emblem Path of Radiance (excellent strategy rpg)
Skies of Aracadia (expanded version of DC game)
I bought a Gamecube as soon as PSO Ep I & II was released. The offline mode is still my favorite GC game.
The only game I've completed on GameCube is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It gets a bad rep -- I certainly wouldn't claim it's among the system's "best" games -- but my wife and I enjoyed it enough to complete it 100% on all difficulties. (We were less thrilled with its sequel.)
We like beat-'em-ups/hack-'n'-slash games, and Gauntlet: Dark Legacy is on our to-play list. I'm sure it'll be very good, though I know the GC version is buggy. We've also put a lot of time into Super Monkey Ball 2, which has fantastic minigames.
I keep meaning to play more GameCube, at least in principle; I've got a ton of games for it, but I seldom feel the urge to play it. I guess I'm just more of a 20th-century gaming guy. Still, I've gotten a little ways into a couple of other games like Looney Tunes: Back in Action, Robotech: Battlecry, and Fantastic 4, none of which are that great. X-Men Legends seems like it could be kinda cool.
LOL... I love everything you’ve said here, but i’ll probably sound patronizing if I go into more detail. But sincerely, I tried to rep you but apparently I still need to spread some around first.Quote:

Star Fox Adv is a great Zelda game.
I enjoyed Star Fox Assault.
F-Zero GX. Kind of a one trick pony IMO.
Super Mario Sunshine sucks. So does Luigi's Mansion.
Sonic gam-ok ok but the GC was the goto Sonic Team machine for the generation.
I've also heard Billy Hatcher is good but haven't played it.
I'm also interested in these, but strictly exclusives.
Mr. Driller Drill Land
Odama
F-Zero GX
Beach Spikers
GameBoy Player
Phantasy Star Online III
Billy Hatcher
Skies of Arcadia (due to the changes)
Those are the exclusives and games/options worth keeping the system around. Mr. Driller Drill Land is one of my most favorite games ever. It's amazingly well done and a shame it hasn't appeared elsewhere.
I will try comment a resume of all posts. Thanks for all tips.
First, thanks to BT and Benjamin. I dont knew that PS online was ported to GCN (i was thinking that it were a PS2 game only) and you can play it offline.
im aware about Metroid, Star Fox (however i dont knew about 2 titles), F-Zero, Beach Spikers, Skies of Arcadia, Luigi's Mansion and DK Jungle beat.
I guess strange noboby have mentioned RE4 and CapvsSNK2.
Im excited about many RE different but i dont know if there is the respective Wii versions these titles or is exclusive for those generation (Xbox original, PS2 GCN).
I will take note about:
Sega Soccer Slam, Billy Hatcher, TMNT and others.
Im very very excite about Star Wars games. I hope that it to be good with a lot of fun because i love SW series.
At the time I wasn't looking twice at video games, but from a Nintendo-standpoint and coming off the N64 it seemed as if the Gamecube really bolstered some solid titles with support to match.
Today, I feel like it's the scenario of the 'grass being greener.'
I honestly find fewer games on the GC than N64 that I would own and play. And to me Mario Sunshine says it all really. At first glance looks vibrant and exciting, but then plays shallow and you want to hurt yourself after for trying.
So exclusives I'd pick:
Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door - The only N64 sequel I think that was as good.
Chibi-Robo!: With your Zeldas, Metroids, and Dreamcast ports aside, Chibi-Robo is a stand-out GC game.
And that's it. I don't know any other exclusive Gamecube games worth mentioning.
I actually have a lot of fondness for the GameCube, but I've been delaying giving a real list of recommendations until I got home and looked over my collection.
Unfortunately, a lot of the best GameCube games have since been ported to later-gen systems, but I'll mention a few of them.
Pikmin 1 & 2: Two of my favorite games on the system, but they both were ported to the Wii... and these were the rare games that were actually complimented by motion controls. The Wii ports are probably cheaper, too.
Resident Evil 4: One of my favorite games ever, but I think most people neglected to mention it because it was only a GameCube exclusive for a second. The Wii version or the HD downloadable versions are probably superior.
Rogue Squadron 2 & 3: I love Rogue Squadron 2. 3 is... okay.
Chibi Robo: Gah! Ninja'd by Lync!
Battalion Wars: It's Advance Wars in 3D, but not as good.
Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes: The PS1 original is better, but this is still quite playable.
Mario Kart - Double Dash: I know this title is divisive, but it's one of my favorites in the series.
Smash Bros Melee: I mention this only because I don't think anyone else did.
Resident Evil Remake and Resident Evil 0
Legend of Zelda - Wind Waker: Another divisive one, but I love it. If you've got a WiiU, however, get the HD remake.
Star Fox - Assault: Yes, it's good. Especially the first stage. Didn't care for the direction the story took for the rest of the game, though.
Metroid Prime 1 & 2: Both amazing games, and both remade with (arguably) better controls on the Wii.
Edit: Oh, and I second Paper Mario. Forgot about that one.
I'm probably in the minority here, but I did not like Resident Evil 0 at all. The switching between characters, the dumbwaiters, hookshot areas. It was closer to a bunch of small things and mechanics that annoyed me to the point where I wasn't pleased. I'd seriously play Survivor before playing 0.
It does have North American exclusives of Chaos Field and Ikaruga.
