I wouldn't mind supporting the cause after the current round. I can get really gabby about the historical importance of plenty of those suggested titles. If you need help, throw some specific titles at me and I'll get to researching.

Whatever we do...we should note that, for a brief period, it was possible to play a port of every Zelda game ever made with only a Gamecube and Gameboy Player...

I'll be on board in any capacity that is needed. The past year has been really amazing with the Gamecube.

Maybe expand on this, pointing out all the upgraded remakes exclusive to the Gamecube? Twin Snakes and Skies Arcadia as well.

Not sure what all is on the list, maybe also look at games that are a different new style of game and first on the Gamecube? Pikmin should definitely be in there.

Damn ! So many mistakes in here :/ so many I had to login ! When I'm mostly a lurker here :p soul calibur IV is not technically on Wii it's some other game :-/

And Geist force is not a American exclusive i own the Pal version so the verdict is out on the rest of the games mentioned as American exclusives ^^

So sorry you felt the need to log in to correct a typo. But thanks for pointing it out. It's been fixed. That said...we're talking about the Gamecube, not the Wii.

Also, I'm not sure what you mean about Geist...we don't care for this if it's an American exclusive or not. We have a large international and import-friendly community here, so it's not really important if a game was exclusive somewhere. But I'm sure Exed appreciates learning there is a PAL version of the game.

Speaking of typos (and not trying to be a jerk here) but the RB articles always seem chock full of embarrassing spelling errors...the PS2 rare and valuable was especially horrible, though they may have been corrected by now. Can you guys make sure this doesn't happen with this new article?

We can try, but the issue is that we lack a solid editor. Racket can only do so much, and while I go over what I write, every writer will tend to miss their own mistakes.
