I've been wanting to make this thread for a while. I know these kinds of threads are usually stupid. "Hey wut r sum good gc games?" I can read. I'm looking for more personalized recommendations.
Here's the scoop: Nintendo is my favorite. The SNES was the first console I owned, the N64 was my second. During the Gamecube generation, I had (and thoroughly enjoyed) a PS2 while my Gamecube sat and collected dust. But during this last generation, although I had a PS3, I did most of my gaming on the Wii. I realized that I absolutely love first party Nintendo games. So I've been looking back at the Gamecube, and the very few games I own for it, and I'm wondering if there's some great gems that I missed.
So why not just read Racket's articles on Gamecube games? Well, I have already. Several times, in fact. But nothing really pops out at me as a must play game. But I only have a handful of GCN games... there must be more.
Since the list is pretty short, here are the GCN games I own...
I've played but don't own MGS Twin Snakes. I'd like to pick up a copy, but it's not at the top of my list for the amount of money it costs. Also, I'm in the process of reacquiring Luigi's Mansion.
So, after you take away all the cross platform games, minus the games I already own... what am I left with? I'm looking for games that I would really LOVE. Not something I'd just play and go, "Meh," unless it's dirt cheap. For example, I think I'd like to pick up Wave Race, but that's just something that I'd mess around with for 5 minutes at a time. I'm looking for games that I'm gonna really enjoy. Gems of the console. I'm not seeing a "defining games" article for the Cube.
Looking at Racket's guides, Wario World and Tales of Symphonia look good. Although Tales looks like it's in the $30 range, so I wouldn't wanna just take a gamble on it.
So what are some Gamecube games that I'm missing out on? Minus the multi console games, was the library really that weak?
