My most recent pickups this weekend and yesterday were:

Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction

I'm looking forward to playing Skies of Arcadia which I've just heard good things about and I haven't played Hulk in years. GameStop use to have it as a kiosk game and I was able to try it but I hadn't played it since then. Both games have been up my most wanted list for a while.
Sorry to hear about your GameCube situation but nice that the Wii is available to act as a suitable replacement until then. I've had Gun for a long time and haven't had a chance to rectify that yet.
Since we've been talking about expensive games on the Gamecube that were 3rd party and releases on other consoles I remembered one that is on my want list but crazy expensive... Time Splitters: Future Perfect. The 2nd one, which I have, isn't very expensive and the first one is under $20 on both PS2 and Xbox but it regularly goes for between $40-50 on the NGC.
I had an Xbox and Dreamcast first and then the Gamecube and PS2. I am worried about the disc drive issue and I'll need to pick up some spare consoles which is why I really like the Everdrive situation though I don't know when or if we'll ever see a similar type device, in terms of what it does, for the cube.nightrnr wrote:The Gamecube used to be my console of choice for multi-platform games. I think this is because it was my 1st system of that generation (in other words, I chose it over a PS2 or Xbox at the time).jmbarnes101 wrote:Thanks for sharing everyone. For some reason I really like the Gamecube. It's a nice small console so it doesn't take up a lot of room, has a great controller and most importantly a bunch of fun games. From that era it's certainly my favorite console
I also viewed it as the most reliable of the 3. I'd hear about PS2 and Xbox drives dying left and right, but GC, almost never.
Nowadays, I am forced to acknowledge that the disc drive will not last on any system. So games available on all 3 systems I tend to lean towards the most convenient to get on a modded system (Xbox for me these days).
Recently, I have been looking into options for dumping my GC collection to a portable hard drivefor use on my Wii, so maybe it won't be an issue for me in the future.
Lastly, I saw pictures of a mini Animal Crossing Gamecube Standee on Nintendo Age today. That thing was epic. Does anyone have any Standees for this system?
It was real easy to do after unscrewing the security bits, it was a perfect fit and it continues to run well.
But then, he also plays a lot less than I do, too.
