Favorite/Best Gamecube Games

SoulSinI wish i ever had a GC.I had to buy the ps2 because it was cheaper -_-''

I thought Gamecube was way cheaper than PS2... I bought my gamecube about 4 years ago for $75 new, while PS2 is still $150 now

The only gamecube game that I have played is Fire Emblem Path of Radiance.. :(

musiclegend14you should only be running one cIOS...i use 13b i believe.okay this is how i got mine to work. go here http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=134170&st=0 and download the file. its a RAR archive with another one inside of it. you should see a folder saying gcbackup0.1...open up that folder and you have a bunch of random stuff and another rar archive...again open up that archive and you will get a folder saying gcbackup0.1_theta. Inside that folder are 2 other folders and a read me...take a look at the read me...there 5 or 6 steps to follow and extract the 2 folders into the app folder on your SD card and your done with that.Now in your HBC run the MIOS patcher (one of the folders you just put on your SD card) and it'll give you a bunch of options on what you want to install. Like press x to be able to boot from the disc channel and you can also use the direction pad on your gamecube controller to choose which MIOS you want to install. You can either choose 4, 5 or 8. I chose 5 and you hit A and it takes maybe 30 seconds to finish and you're all set. *i sat there and tried to figure out what to do with the RAR files for like 20 minutes*That sounds confusing...hopefully you can follow. As for the DVD type, for Gamecube game's it has to be DVD-R...I dont know much about book types so all i can say is buy some DVD-r

I booted MIOS patcher and it said that I was already running CMIOS 5. I already have gcbackup0.1_theta installed. (even though the damn picture says Xi when I boot it up).I guess I'll just have to toy around with it some more.

that's really odd...Did you try to use DVD-R's yet? I've only used DVD-R's for my multi game discs and once I got it working, I haven't had any trouble since

My favorites are probably Super Mario Sunshine, Legend of Zelda Windwaker, Ikaruga, and the pikmin series.

I have two DVD-Rs left and I don't want to waste them. I'll have to make sure that the burn is perfect when I do it.It's sad that we're both resorting to GC games when we have a perfectly good Wii sitting right there. This just goes to show you that there isn't much when it comes to Wii gaming.

Honestly, I really hate the whole Wiimote/ motion sensor thing. It feels unnatural to me. That makes most wii games that much worse for me. Even the classic controller attachment for it, doesn't cut it for me. The only thing that's okay for it, is the FPS games...it kind of gives you the feel that you're in the arcade and what not.

I couldn't have said it better.
Also, the Wii games are all GC quality graphics, with the exception of a few select games. The only reason why they're on the Wii is because of the control scheme. Also, most of the GC ports end up having the worst controls, why swing the Wiimote and have it do the wrong command when you could've just hit X or Y or whatever button it corresponds to on the GC.

exactly. i actually hadn't played a gamecube game in over 5 years until the other week when i hacked my wii. I have a huge plasma tv so i expected the graphics to be pretty crappy compared to my wii. I'll be surprised if I pick up a wii game again besides guitar hero...and possibly the new super mario coming out for it.

Legend of zelda-wind walker 9if limited edition you get oricana of time to boot XD)Metroid prime (both)Resident evil (all-especially 4)Smash brothers meleeStar war rougue squadron (2 and 3-awsome titles)legend of zelda collector's editionP.N.03 (really a tech demo for resident evil 4-but if you like shooters like say space invaders-this is your game XD)Robotech battle cry (game is flawed but I loved the anime-thus the game as well)Those are the best I won...And donkey konga is preety dam good-the jap one's have better music-english one's aren't master tracks-just covers.Still-1 2 and 3 RULE! (even with out bongoes)

when i play Resident Evil 4 on for the gamecube on my wii the graphics come out better than the Wii port of it. It seems to be a lot smoother.

Replying to #31

That is odd...But then again-it might be because the wii port is a ps2 port that's been enhanced LOLI won't buy the wii one-I prefer old-school controls :)

Are they better? I mean Jesus Christ! I have to hold A and press B to shoot. I can't strafe, nor can I shoot while moving. He just sits there like a dumbass while he is getting mauled.

i stupidly thought that getting a gun attachment would help. The wii is only good for hacking = ]

Sadly, I'm going to say that the Gamecube is better than the Wii in terms of quality games (with or without the respect of time).The only games that I like on the Wii are the ones that are essentially Gamecube styled.
There are a few exceptions like The Conduit and Ghostbusters the Videogame.Did you try Gauntlet Dark Legacy? I know the graphics are crap, but it's basically Gauntlet Legends with an expansion pack. I used to play Legends for DAYS on end.

i use to play gauntlet in the arcades, i think i did have one of the games as well...not really sure. It's on my list to download for when i get back home (I'm on vacation and the internet in the hotel is terrible)

mine wereMetroid Prime 1 & 2
Timesplitters 2 (100 time better than 3)
Smash Bros Melee
RE4 (Love this game with Wii controls)
Fire Emblem
Zelda
Tales of SymphoniaAll can think of right now

@insanecrazy, I don't know how your gamecube backup launcher problems are going but i might have some useful information. you can have both Gamecube backup launcher v.1 THETA (Xi won't work, theta only) and v.2 installed at the same time because they have different IDs. That being said, i still get that weird black and white screen in v.2 when trying to load a multi-game disc...however it works perfectly when I load a disc with only one game on it. Backup launcher v.1 still handles the multi-game discs. If you can get both installed...the disc channel and wii backup launcher .3 gamma will load the gamecube disc with gamecube backup launcher v.1....v.2 will still have it's own channel.another thing i've stumbled upon is a way to get games that do not work with the backup launcher to...work haha. There's a program called "Wiper GMC Fixer v1.5f" that fixes the images and also makes them 3 gigs to fill up a DVD-R. I tried this with Wave Race Blue Storm (which won't load in any backup launcher at all) and I am now happily playing it on the gamecube backup launcher v.2. I'll post the link to the tutorial below.http://thepurplecube.org/forums/index.php?topic=7951.0now i just want to figure out how to get the gamecube backup launcher v.2 to work with multi-game discs. Help would be appreciated.

Sweet, sweet.I've had the GCM fixer on my computer for awhile now. I haven't touched my Wii since I got my 320 GB myPassport. Been addicted to organizing it the way I want it. I have 40 HD movies now in iPod format ;DMy friend bought 2 100 packs of DVD-Rs. They're basically all for me, I just have to burn 2 of each. I'll have to wait until I get them to continue this.

ah well good luck with that. How i remember the days i spent organizing 1 tb external...now its practically all used up with 200 DVD-r rips on it and i don't know which ones to get rid of = [if you stumble across anything about the backup launcher v.2 let me know, every thread i've found with people having the same issue are all unanswered = /
