Games I'd say you're missing.. Still damn impressive and makes me miss my old collection.
- Beach Spikers (Any good?)
- Beyond Good and Evil (Xbox)
- Crash Tag Team Racing (Xbox)
- Fight Night Round 2 (Not my kind of thing
- Freedom Fighters (Xbox)
- Gotcha Force (Any good?)
- Metal Arms (Xbox)
- Midway Arcade Treasures 1-3 (Ps2)
- Pokemon Channel (is this even good?)
- Pokemon Box (what is this?)
- Prince of Persia series (Xbox)
- Rayman 3 (Xbox, does this have anything special to the cube?)
- Timesplitters 2 (Xbox)
- Splinter Cell series (Own on Xbox)
Also does anyone have this game? I had completely forgot about it until I stumbled upon the Wiki page the other day.
I should always specify that I do collect on other consoles as well, heh. I have stuff like soccer slam on Xbox as well, but if these games have any cube specific content i'd not mind knowing about the ones that are unique.
Why does the IGN YouTube channel have a 2 year old video of an obscure Japanese RPG with only 200 views, it's like I stepped into Bizarro land.

you went down the Homeland rabbit hole,too?
I went as far as looking around eBay for the game and a broadband adapter LOLAnyone wanna buy my Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance? I have it listed in the B/S/T thread but no bites. I'll probably just ebay it if there's no interest.

Now that I have some spare cash I'm trying to round out my Gamecube collection, unfortunately they're damn expensive lol. I've just bought a mint Skies of Arcadia for £42 and I'm willing to go slightly north or £35 for Twilight Princess if I need to. They're more than what I feel I should be paying for them but they're also only going to get more expensive from here out. Time to bite the bullet I guess.
Great pick-ups. Double Dash is still my favorite Mario Kart. I really miss that dual racer mechanic.

DD was all about that Baby Park track
I was bummed out when MKWii was 30fps in multiplayer when DD was 60.

Yeah, DD was awesome. Might be my favorite console MK...does that make me a bad person?
I now have 3x OoT/MQ disks and 4x Collector's Disks (2 sealed).
I will soon own ALL OF THEM.
(EDIT)
I feel like an idiot though...the OoT/MQ that I got originally with my preorder, I didn't like the stupid boxart so I chucked it and downloaded one from online.
I'd kill to make that decision not happen.
especially throwing it away instead of just putting the new one in front of it ... y u must do dumb stahf!!
Are they gone? Link btw?

I'm more curious who is selling wavebirds for $250, lol
No one will buy at that price.

I forget how much they are on Amazon, but suffice to say it's exorbitant
Is it worth alot nowadays?
Because I got mine a GS for 10 bucks and that was recently.

Not long ago I found a loose receiver for 50 cents and 2 loose wavebirds for $3 each at a thrift store. Now I'm up to 2 receivers and 3 wavebirds. I'm gunning for 4 of each, but frugally, lol.

Sorry for delay on this.
- Beach Spikers (Any good?)
Probably one of the best arcade sports titles in the past ten years. If you've ever played Virtua Tennis, it's similar. A lot of fun, definitely not just a multiplayer game either. It's one of those rare GameCube only titles that for whateve reason has never seen any kind of rerelease and is all but forgotten by SEGA.
- Fight Night Round 2 (Not my kind of thing
Does have a playable Little Mac from Punch Out, plus a full copy of Super Punch Out. I noticed a lot of your games were heaby Nintendo so if you're collecting on that basis this wouldn't be a bad add. Similar to what EA did for NBA Street Vol 3.
- Gotcha Force (Any good?)
It's heavily divided. The people who do like it, love it. As in put in hundreds of hours into the game. It's highly customizable and similar addiction to Pokemon. It's the better Custom Robo for the system that's for sure. Others I think are turned off by the anime style and basis. Again one of those rare GameCube exclusives that has never seen any kind of rerelease, sequel, or spinoff to another platform. I would definitely look into it. Quirky title like Cubivore and Go Go Hypergrind on GameCube.
- Pokemon Channel (is this even good?)
Again following your Nintendo themed titles I thought it made sense. It's not a great game. I enjoyed it but I have a Pokemon bias. Had some interesting concepts for GBA adapter and whatnot. If you could get it cheap I would pick it up.
- Pokemon Box (what is this?)
Again as a collector I would think this would be on your radar. In the States it was only made available on Pokemon Center online store. It's an accessory more or less to the GBA games as it lets you store hundreds of Pokemon on the GameCube. It's one of the rarest and most expensive titles in the GameCube library due to its limited quantity. Plus if you get a complete copy it comes with an exclusive colored memory card that is half blue and half red.
- Rayman 3 (Xbox, does this have anything special to the cube?)
GBA connectivity is about it I believe.

I loved Beach Spikers. The whole tamagotchi-esque partner was a really cool idea. It wasn't too bad in multiplayer, I had some fun with the dumb mini games at least.

I like Sunshine, but in a world of Mario Galaxies, New Super Mario Wii/U, Super Mario Bros. 3 and Yoshi's Island you're being generous here.

It was the first first-party wireless controller... and one of the first to use RF instead of infared.

I regret not going for the purple GameCube back then. I remember specifically going to a store with the platinum GameCube in stock to get one because I preferred that colour back then. To this day I still weep every night thinking about what could have been. :'(

Not by a long shot, both Genesis and Saturn had official first-party wireless controllers.

playing Zelda Four Swords this week (last console one ive yet to run through), upscaled + component...damn, this looks great for a 10 year old game! the haze & fire in the lava temple looked great, and i love the puzzles. i had it in my head this one was multiplayer only, glad i finally got into it.
picked that one up on the cheap a few months back, still gotta boot it up - i love classic RE but i gotta get in the right mindset for tank controls, heh

I'm a proud owner of Chibi Robo now, with manuel and all.
Now it's time to see what the hoopla is all about.

I like Resident Evil Zero, the game did something great with the whole train segment. Not much room to evade zombies and other creatures. After the train segment I think people were just a bit disappointed by the old Mansion/Lab set-up.
It did have some cool new creature designs. Fuck the leechzombie. Plus some new enemies who were quite bothersome. The Eliminator is a compact Hunter, Plaguecrawler is creepy and the Lurker... ugh.

Just started playing 0 and I am really schocked about the Itemsystem. I really liked the system with the boxes in REmake and Code Veronica, but the constant thinking about what to left behind and what to take with me and to hope, that I can return to the Items I left behind really anonyes me and stops me from playing further.
REmake really got me from the start, loved the game and the music and the atmosphere, the first hours were with the labortory in the end the best part in the game.

Not a fan of RE:0 either.
Your head was thinking of Four Swords (you played Four Swords Adventure on the Cube) on the GBA, the bonus game on the A Link to the Past cart. That was multiplayer only (until they reworked it for the 25th Anniversary Edition on DSiWare)

Thought I'd just post a photo of my updated collection since I'd gotten a fair few new titles.

What! Nintendo Australia puts actual logo fonts on the spine??! (Wii games) Why is NoE so incredibly annoying sometimes. All we get is plain font.
edit: and they seem to have done the colored SNES cart labels thing. and switched to NoE-style plain letters for Wii U boxes (aside from Nintendo Land) like NoE. Interesting

Yeh most of my games have cool logo fonts but some are just plain, think it just depends on the game here.
Although some of my Wii games are EU versions and still do have logo fonts, glancing to my shelf behind me I've got EU copies of Blastworks, House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return, Muramasa the Demon Blade, Epic Mickey, Madworld, A Boy and his Blob, Gunblade & LA Machineguns, Red Steel 2 and No More Heroes 2; they're all EU (not NZ or Aus version) and have nice colourful titles on the spines... A lot of the other EU ones I have are plain though.
