I got burnt out with the 2nd one..and now with the stuff 'required' to do a good run on Prime 2 that I can't get off, I just don't have fun with it anymore.
SOAL would probably be a good buy, like NLB2 said.

buy monkey ball 1 and never stop playing until you unlock all the master levels.... this will get you your moneys worth on the cube alone.
And just be cause you clearly need re-telling your RE4 ideas are just silly.

I understand a lot of people posted pretty long lists, but if you have to narrow it down I'd definately say get Animal Crossing. It's one of my favorite GC games, it's a very charming little title. Of course, its not for everyone so just check it out a little further before you get it but I recommend you give it a chance.
And F-zero is a fantastic game for 15 bucks!

Super Monkey Ball is no longer a reason to have GC. Super Monkey Ball Plus on Xbox and PS2 is like karmic punishment for Monkey Ball coming out on GC but not DC, (lead platform, NAOMI arcade game) lol.
Also, waiting for the PS2 version of RE4 is just DUMB. Whatever content is added, if any, will not be made by Mikami anyway. Downgrades, OTOH, are inevitable.

Are there any good puzzle games for GC? one of my girlfriends gave me a Bust-A-Move 3000 for free but it there anything else? Tetris games, etc
And to all the fucking haters out there, I've made my descision, I'm going to buy the PS2 version when it's released I'll play the GC once my friend is finished playing it, but I have NO INTENTION WHAT SO EVER TO BUY IT NOW.

BuddyChrist was pimping Mr driller Drill spirits, but it's import. apparently kickass.
Oh and nobodys a hater. Your RE4 thing is just retarded. You are going to wait nearly a year for a product that will be downgraded from what is currently the gaming equivalent of a dirty threeway with swedish lesbians. I mean, it's like saying "I would rather wait for the bulldykes with the herpes HATERZ"
but whatever.

$30 (Canadian, I'm guessing) for a refurbished GameCube? Has anyone seen a deal like this in the states? As soon as I see a Cube for $50, I'm picking one up.
distantmantra said:
Yep the Cubes are or actually were 30$CAD which is damn cheap cause they go for 99.99$ at our Best Buy equivilant Futureshop. Problem is 95% of the consoles that were refurbished was the ugly indigo, I was luck enough to go through most of them boxes to find a Jet Black console. They weren't inside the original GC boxes but inside OEM cases.
If anyone is intrested, if they still have them in stock I'll be more then happy to pick one up and ship one out if you pay all charges

I know you're probably sick of hearing about RE4, but listen:
YOUR FRIENDS ARE WRONG.
The response you've had here should be telling enough. When Xbots, PS2 fans and people who just normally hate being a GC owner post in your thread in absolute horror at you waiting for the PS2 version -- you gotta ask yourself if there's something to it after all surely?
If it was an argument of you preferring the PS2 controller, or wanting to have the fullest library of good games possible for the machine -- then yeah, maybe. But you being a Gamecube owner in the here and now DEMANDS that you give the game a chance. You might wait 9 months for the game to be re-released at full price, with rubbish "extras" and a quality that remains to be seen. You'd be in a minority if you think the PS2 will run the game any better.
The gamecube runs the game perfectly by the way. Perhaps your friends' eyes and brains refresh at 90fps or something. The game is locked a 30fps for the entirity that I've played. There isn't a dip below 24fps that I can perceive. It's absolutely gorgeous and one the best looking, best moving games this generation.
I'm not saying your friends are liars - but the people praising the game here aren't liars either. It's one of the better Gamecube games.
MY GAMECUBE RECOMMENDATIONS:
Action/Adventure: Beyond Good & Evil, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time
Platformers: Sonic Adventure 2: Battle or Sonic Heroes (buy them cheap if you buy them at all), Super Mario Sunshine, Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat, Viewtiful Joe 1/2
Racers: F Zero GX, Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, 1080 Avalanche, SSX3
First Person Adventure: Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
First Person Shooter: Timesplitters 2
GBA connectivity: Pacman VS (comes with R:Racers or Pacman World 2), The Legend of Zelda: The Four Swords
Fighting: the Naruto games (import), Soul Calibur II
Survival Horror: Resident Evil remake, Resident Evil 4, Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem
Music: Donkey Konga (the PAL version is more challenging than the US one and has better songs IMO)
"Other": Pikmin 2, Super Monkey Ball 1/2
Multiplayer must haves: Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Super Monkey Ball 1/2, Wario Ware Mega Game$, Timesplitters 2, Pacman VS (requires one GBA), The Four Swords (requires two or more GBA)
Out of those games I just listed, some are on other platforms.
I think Timesplitters 2 is highly under-rated. It has a lot of unlockables, and is enjoyable with a great style. It's far more 'Goldeneye' than ANY of EA's James Bond games. On PS2 you'd need a multitap. Gamecube multiplayer is a blast with 4 players, there are plenty of modes and characters to unlock. You'll even get a kick out of playing Anaconda and the other retro games which are hidden around the levels in 1-4 players. If you have an Xbox you could get it for that. The Xbox and PS2 versions have system link but I don't know how likely you are to use that. Either way, it's recommended.
Super Monkey Ball 1/2 are coming out on the other platforms in the form of Super Monkey Ball DX. This has about 40 extra levels or something like that. The game is ported by someone other than AV I believe, so I don't know if those extra levels will be up to snuff or not. Either way, get the Monkey Ball games. If you find the first two going ultra cheap (more than possible) then pick them up. Alternatively, if you can't find them, and the two together would cost the same or more than a full priced game - get SMB-DX.

Get RE4 foo. Why wait? It makes *no* sense. But whatever it is your money.
Anyway, I would tread lightly with Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. Metroid is one of my favorite franchises but I just can't get into Echoes. I don't know if it is the setting or all the damn excessive scanning or lack of real story. I thought Metroid Prime was a great game, but I may have been a little more leniant since it was the first real Metroid game in a long time and it did a great job in 3D. I'm not harping about the controls here as I think they are fine. Hate to say it, but I've found the MP2: E experience dull and boring so far (About five hours in).

I know it's been said 1000 times in this thread already, but you've gotta be fucking retarded to wait for the PS2 version of RE4. Yes, FUCKING RETARDED.

FZERO GX is worth it for $15, it doesn't have much replay value though. once you've finished all the leagues in all difficulty modes there is'nt much to do. It's pretty Easy too, especially if you are a Wipeout Prodigy such as myself.

Calling me a retard, doesn't change the fact that I've made my decision and I'm stick to it, Fuck Nut. I'll play it on the GC in a couple of weeks if I like it I may consider buying it when the price drops to below 20$ lol. But that still doesn't change the fact I'll be buying the PS2 version no matter what you idiots say or do.
Now either drop the RE4 shit and get out of this thread or make suggestions.

People are being typically agressive with you, but its only because they feel strongly.
I promise you're making a good decision by trying it out now.
This reminds me of when, in 2003, I thought KOTOR had this vibe of being overrated, and people got pissed at me for the comment (but on a much smaller scale. I think it was Wellington and maybe someone else).
Then I got the Xbox with Ninja Gaiden and KOTOR (simply because it dropped to $30 the day I bought the system), and ended up only keeping KOTOR... and I loved it.
So the moral of the story is: GAF usually knows what it's talking about, and if you don't conform now, I'll kill you.

i was the same way, but now i love it - it picks up in pacing, music and everything else soon

I had about the same feeling...and it didn't really shift too much for me in the span of the game. I really enjoyed the gameplay aspects of it, but dull and boring would be my basic reaction with the basic areas. It does get better with the levels to come, and I think that the game does grow more interesting, but it lacked the atmospheric punch of Metroid Prime for me.
My suggestion, or my strongest, has to be a Game Boy Player and Minish Cap. Man, it rocks.
If you already own a GBA, buy Four Swords Adventures when it goes Player's Choice. I'd say it'll be worth $20 Single Player.

Here's why we won't "drop the RE4 shit", it just doesn't make sense. You ask us for suggestions, and we all suggest arguable one of the best games this gen, on any system, and you just keep giving bullshit. We might as well just close the thread now since pretty much every half-decent GC game has already been mentioned in many posts above and we're obviously not going to convince you that RE4 is worth buying, dispite it's overwhelming support by almost everyone.
