Thats because it came out far too late for anyone to have played it.
I'm very big on the gamecube but even at that point I was playing PS2 because it was the more popular system, by late 2005 I had forgotten about the system, shame it is a really good system.

*Preface: forgive me if all this stuff is way too obvious. I realize that most of it, at best, is barely overlooked.*

I never got around to Chibi-Robo either. I still look out for it whenever I see some GCN games.

I've heard at least decent things about Mario Strikers and Batallion Wars, but those always seemed a little under the radar too.

Zelda: Four Swords and Donkey Kong Jungle Beat kinda get underappreciated. Neither is quite traditional enough I guess. I actually with JB didn't use bongos and FSA didn't need GBA's for multiplayer, I think both would gain more than they'd lose.

Custom Robo didn't seem to be as well liked as I thought it should be. I had some fun with it.

P.N.03 had some problems, but was pretty cool.

I had a blast with custom robo, given the story was definitely lackluster. Multiplayer was the best part.

Super Mario Strikers is excellent as well, and is probably in the top ten of multiplayer games for the GCN.

I have both. I didn't really get into DKJB (though I didn't try hard enough, I should get back into it), but I love Four Swords Adventures. I've played with three people on adventure and battle, but I'd really like to try four people using the Game Boy Player trick I saw here.

I liked Custom Robo when I borrowed it from a friend. It had a really interesting premise and I really wish I got a copy of it for myself.

How about the Lost Kingdom games? I thought they were awesome, and I rarely seem them mentioned.

I have a funny story about Lost Kingdoms 2 and I haven't even played the game yet.

I found Go! Go! Hypergrind for 2 bucks today and I picked it up. A quick search found this thread. I was so happy to see that 2 other games I got today were mentioned here: Odama and Custom Robo. I've been trying to find all the strange, cool, and forgotten Gamecube games while there's still a few stores that sell them. I really wanna try to find P.N.03 now!



PS: My first post! I hope it's fine that I'm resurrecting this thread. Looking at the dates it seemed like it's not the most unheard of thing on these boards to post in old threads and if I didn't post soon I was afraid I'd never work up the nerve to dive in and post something!

P.N.03 rules! I actually appreciate the minimalistic atmosphere.

For other overlooked NINTENDO GAMECUBE exclusives, I'd recommend...

Beach Spikers, Billy Hatcher, Bloody Roar: Primal Fury, and Space Raiders.

You have violated the Nintendo memorandum.
