GameCube and its games

Duke

i just recently was given a gamecube(for free) and like 4 games. what games have come out for this system that are must haves.

the games he gave me were:

Resident Evil(remake)
Resident Evil Zero
Metroid Prime
Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door

Necro

mvp baseball is pretty good. The one with Manny on the cover

Super Smash Bros. Melee (you will see why it's highest selling GCN game and still does like 15K over 5 years after releasing)
Zelda; The Wind Waker (a great Zelda game with wonderfully graphics that make it feel like you controlling a cartoon)
Zelda: Twilight Princess (if you don't have a Wii)
Metroid Prime 2 (not as good as the first one but still good)
F-Zero GX (a HARD racer that controls very precisely)
Resident Evil 4 (one of the best games of last gen)

Remember that ALL GameCube games can also be played on the Wii.

yeah i will eventually buy a wii but since i got this for free i figured id play it up while i wait for the wii.

resident evil 4 i beat on ps2 and it is pretty sweet.
more than likely i will get all teh zelda games for it too.

my big concern i have right now is that i have animal crossing on the DS but i kind of want it for the gamecube now so i can play it on a bigger screen. im not sure if i should just stick with the DS version or sell it and get the GC version

I would say you would be safe with any of the mario themed games as well if you plan on doing some mulitplayer action, but if you are going for multi-player... Smash Bros Melee is MUST HAVE.

Super Mario Sunshine is good. People rag on it though for not being a huge jump over Super Mario 64 (the same way SM64 was over SMW), but it's still fun.

If you like old school 2D games, Viewtiful Joe is really fun and I love the comic book style it has. You probably won't be able to find it now (except through eBay) but Ikaruga is an old school style shooter that is a little too hard (I couldn't even make it past level 2).

i like to play games in order and such so once i get finished with mario and luigi: super star saga i will start on paper mario thousand year door and go from there.

If you've never played it on any other system, XIII is a good first person shooter. You can get it on eBay for very little, but like I say, it was available on all consoles when it was released.
