/vr/ - Retro Games

Mine would probably look different depending on the time you're asking but just by how much of a good time I had:
Paper Mario: TTYD
Super Monkey Ball
Tony Hawk's Underground 2
and the two Zeldas

>>10474902
>And any honorable mentions
Still the best BR and still played competitively

>>10474908
Without Zelda and Mario:
Pikmin
Tales of Symphonia
Naruto GNT4
Super Monkey Ball
Tony Hawk's Underground 2

>>10474902
Double Dash is an easy favourite for me
THPS3 / THUG 1
Twilight Princess
Melee

>>10475187
>THUG 1
Why not 2 desu? I actually forgot why I prefer 2. Wasn't 1 a bit gloomy?

>>10474902
Not counting Nintendo

>>10474902
Spontaneously and also excluding Zelda
>F-Zero GX
>Harvest Moon AWL
>SC2
>ToS
>Baten Kaitos

Biggest design flaw with the Gamecube is the use of mini CDs, which meant that many PS2 games couldn't be ported without the use of multiple discs. The PS2 architecture itself also made ports to other platforms difficult 'period', which meant that most devs just chose to focus on the most popular console rather than port to the Gamecube. The NGC could've had a much stronger library, but as it stands now it's only 'decent'. Not bad, but not great either. But when the Wii enters the equation, that's a different story. Combining both libraries together, and you have yourself quite a console indeed.

Hypergrind feels like it should've been a cult classic.

>>10476186
it suffers from not having good gameplay

>>10474902
Melee although I play Ultimate more now
Crystal Chronicles was great with a friend
Primal Fury because it's the best game with anthro transformations without being gay about it
Viewtiful Joe

>honorable mentions
The Cube version of Budokai 1 is timeless. Perhaps the most authentic DBZ retelling ever and the 10/10 OST that can never get ported because some boomer rockers complained

>>10475880
>>SC2
Somehow forgot about that

>>10474902
go go hypergrind

>>10476186
Never heard of this game

Comfy Chunsoft game I clocked a few hours into until I got tired of looking things up. I think there is a translation done or partially done by now, though.

>>10476537
Giftpia is even better but almost pointless without understanding Japanese.

>>10476439
>and the 10/10 OST that can never get ported because some boomer rockers complained
Budokai has one of my favorite OSTs of all time, but all the music was blatantly plagiarized. As much as I love it, I'm not going to pretend the reason for never using it again isnt justified.
I still fire that shit up if I want some quick background music without lyrics though.

>>10474902
-REmake
-RE4
-Twilight Princess

>And any honorable mentions?

Unironically better than Mario Strikers. GC is the best version

>>10475934
>Not bad, but not great either
It's great if you're open and fine with it being very quality > quantity. Two Metroid Primes and two unique Zeldas almost seems unthinkable compared to the output today, and that's ignoring that Nintendo supported the GBA at the same time

>>10474902
Melee
Paper Mario
Mario Sunshine
Mario Party 6

>>10476229
Eh, it's no Tony Hawk but neither is Jet Set Radio.
>>10476530
There is some lore behind it but I can't remember. Charming and fun game in small doses anyway. Would rec the Disney one instead if you just want a cuter Tony Hawk.

Kururin Squash and picrel deserved more attention and probably would of got some if not JP only

>>10474921
>Naruto GNT4
Is this English patched yet?

>>10476726
Luckily, this got the HD remaster, so more people (including me) can play it.

>>10474902
>Everything exudes fun;
I think this might be why it's so expensive now. I definitely remember feeling that way towards the GC growing up. The PS2 seemed dumpy and bland in comparison.

>>10476537
I wish this one made it to the states. you need to be hardcore in GC to want to play that game online nowadays.

>>10474902
>What are your 3 or 5 favorite games for it?
Super Smash Bros Melee
TTYD
Luigi's Mansion
Pikmin
Mario Kart: Double Dash!! (never played Air Ride of GX, pls no bully)
>And any honorable mentions?
Super Monkey Ball 1 and 2
Pikmin 2
Any of the Gamecube Mario Parties (I have a soft spot for 7 but most of them are fine)

>>10476593
Why are Americans like this?

>>10477617
>i feel this exact way about the dreamcast.
One person has to

Gotcha Force has some soulful presentation and a lot of content

>>10477975
You can also play as not-Strider/not-Zero, and cut through the environments to kill Godzillas. Pretty awesome game if you don't mind jank

>>10476541
Wikipedia says this one has a publicly available english script but no hacker savior has patched it for us : (

>>10476683
I wish this just used some more Disney music instead of random pop punk

Does anyone know if this is decent? Apparently it was made by original Sonic devs, Legend of Oasis, Etrian Odyssey, etc.

>>10476683
Speaking of skating games, Kelly Slater's is underappreciated. Not much variety for obvious reasons but the gameplay works. You can almost feel the wetness of the water just like in Wave Race 2

You think they'll make a "GameCube Mini" soon? Or are the games viewed as being too valuable individually for Nintendo to sell them in a group?

>>10479765
Does the Switch let you download GC games? If not, that's definitely something they want to do first, probably with the next console

>>10474902
Picrel, Luigi's Mansion, Time Splitters 2, Metroid Prime, Double Dash

>>10479873

>mini CDs
mini DVDs, not CDs
>many PS2 games couldn't be ported without the use of multiple discs
They could've mitigated it easily by having dual layer capability but at the same time a large amount of PS2 games either were already small enough to fit onto a GC disc or could be optimized further to work

>>10479943
Man I wish I could into Fire Emblem. Having to watch the entire enemy turn is just too much for me

>>10474902
Anyone else hate the triggers on the controller? I played Timesplitters 3 and every session my hand felt like shit.

>>10478516
I just clicked through a longplay and it looks bad. You're welcome

>>10480158
Their uses are limited. Tried Call of Duty Finest Hour and the implementation of the triggers is horrendous.

>>10480145
modern fire emblem and some fan patches of the old games let you hold a shoulder button to toggle animations and it's the best thing to happen to the series

Wonder if Cutie Honey can adapted on GameCube?

>>10474902

Still hilarious NoA didn't want them when their English localization and dub was already done and excellent, same with Disaster. Wii era Nintendo was Nintendo at its most retarded
>>10481143
Nah man you need to find yourself an undub and maybe uncensored as well if this exist

>>10474902
Beach Spikers.
Beyblade: Super Tournament Battle.
Metroid Prime.

>>10477980
this super attack reminds me of another game but not sure which

unironically the best shrek game and best power stone clone

>>10481720

>>10481865
Tenkaichi? One of the flashier Monster Hunter games?

>>10474902
SSX 3
Gaunlet Legends: Dark Legacy
Time Splitters 2/3
Lego Star Wars
THPS 3

once you got past the nintendo licensed library there wasn't much left to play. It's always that way with Nintendo honestly

>>10482732
Opposite for me, it's always the whimsical random second and third parties I like the most on Nintendo systems, in particular Wii tho

Slept on this till recently. It's really great if you're willing to use the stupid bongos. Feels wrong with normal controls and not so great.

>>10474908
>>10474921
is underground 2 better then the first?

>>10476586
The fact I knew this exact location in less than a second proves I’ve played this game waaay too many times
I’d play the REmake, but I’m a poorfag without a next gen console

>>10474902
I played this on a whim and absolutely loved it. A cheap spinoff has no right to be such a quality game. The only real flaws are fielder switching and not quite enough content. Fix the switching and make story mode more robust and it's perfect. It's a shame that even though the sequel added a lot of characters/stadiums, it fucked up the gameplay with gimmicky garbage, but that's just what the wii did I guess

Never spent much time on the Gamecube in my youth, but the original Animal Crossing and Chibi-Robo are some of my favorite games ever.

Also really liked Rayman 3, Gotcha Force, and SoulCalibur II.
>>10481109
For me, it’s Opoona.

Does someone have a well grounded opinion what the best SSX is and why?

anyone here played it? apparently it's hard to get into but everyone's singing its praises

>>10483371
I never played it, but I definitely remember seeing it everywhere in stores around 2006-2007

This game weird af. On first glance it's your average WRPG but it was inspired by Skittles commercials of all things

>>10474902
Ps2 still one

GameCube was at least maybe the 2nd best Nintendo system after the first few. Probably tied with switch now

>>10483585
(Won not one)

>>10483347
Haven't played them all yet, its probably the first one. It's underrated for sure. They made good arcade racers too

>>10483585
>>10483587
Maybe you should sleep instead of seething about Nintendo with your fat diabetes finger

>>10481720
much better than the DoA coom games but you need 2-4 friends

Is this still worth playing today or just a meme?

>>10475249
Thug 1 was better, but 2 is fine.

>>10483371
It's pretty cool but the microphone gimmick absolutely was unneeded. Could easily have been mapped to buttons.

I rage quit it back in the day because it simply wouldn't recognize me saying one of the commands I needed to repeatedly do to progress. May give it another shot soon tho

>>10483614
I tried this one out ages ago, got utterly confused on what the fuck you were supposed to do in it, and hadn’t touched it since.

I probably just got filtered by it admittedly, but I haven’t had any motivation to give it another go.

>>10483741
>Thug 1 was better
Can you name some things 1 does better? Jackass stuff aside

This is a genuinely good wrestling game made by No Mercy devs. It got some fancy sequels on PS2 but they aren't actual wrestling games

>>10483113
i miss just random soul games like this that feel like devs had a fun idea and said ok why not

cube had quite a lot of fun game collections.

try out:
Zelda Collector's Edition (includes Majoras Mask, Ocarina of Time, Zelda 1 and 2)

Sonic Gems Collection (includes Sonic CD and a few other Sonic games that were considered "obscure" in the mid 2000s)

Sonic Mega Collection (includes all important Genesis Sonic games)

some good standalone games i can recommend:

- Rayman 3
- Pikmin 1 and 2
- All Need for Speed titles on the cube
- Star Wars Rogue Sqadron 1 and 2

I could never get into sports games. They feel forced and, like, just play the real sport IRL

>>10486164
the 2d collections are usually at 480i and have massive amounts of input lag while sounding like shit

Yeah the tony hawk games are an awful fit for the gc, ssx as well.

>>10487020
yeah but you can only play mario on gc

>>10487017
I'm averaging 10 millions without problems. The notched analogs are a good compromise and trick and grind buttons a comfortable thumb roll away from the centered A button. You could just get an adapter for your PS2 pad anyways

jungle beat and donkey konga in one box would've been an awesome package and a guaranteed hit

>>10487441

>>10487020
Tony hawk's underground was so fun on multiplayer when you're shooting fireballs. It's like a air to air combat sim at that point. Good level editor feature as well

coomcore, but not much else

>>10482103
This was fantastic when I played it on my PS2, I still think about it from time to time. Could never beat that challenge mode though.

>>10481092
wasn't what debunked?

>>10487004
You can't play Windjammers irl

Why does this game have such comfy unique vibes?

>>10474902
I’ve played over 50 GC games and found Resident Evil 4 to be the absolute best. Yes I know it’s been ported to oblivion, but it never looks or feels as great as it does being played on a Gamecube controller. The rest of my list


#2 Metroid Prime 2 (way better than 1 in my opinion)
#3 Metroid Prime
#4 Twilight Princess
#5 Mario Kart Double Dash

>>10483138
If you have a computer play it on Steam. Steam is free and the game costs like $5 when it goes on sale

>>10488957

>>10489023
Based Double Dash!! enjoyer. Such a fun Mario Kart game.

>>10487004
I think sports games that aren't like trying to be too realistic can be pretty fun
like the Blitz football games

>>10489383
That’s the appeal of stuff like Mario Tennis. It’s just a fun party game that’s not trying to be an accurate tennis physics simulator.

>>10489023
>#2 Metroid Prime 2 (way better than 1 in my opinion)
Not sure if I could get behind 2, seems to replace 1's comfy nature with crazy scifi rooms

>>10474902
worst controller ever

>>10480058
>Design Flaw
Yeah thats why the RE4 port for PS2 looks so incredibly superior with it's extra DVD storage space, LMAO. Even the audio was muffled on PS2 all thanks to low latency and RAM constraints.

Do you realize that even the 360 got tons of multi discs games, way more than the Game Cube and even though there exists PS3 to 360 ports.

I think it's kind of neat how the gamecube release of Pikmin 2 had different box art in Canada. When we finally got the New Play Control release, they just used the American box art.

>>10489398
Snoygays (Sony and Sega) are really pushing this disinformation lately. The GC controller was universally loved. Not its fault some multiplats are lazy

>>10489624
Don't know which is which but left is better and from what I heard a better representation of 2 because it's mostly caves and fighting

The sci-fi racers, Nascars, and turok look OK. Maybe medal of honor too

I don't know this console I'm sure I'm missing a bunch of these. Never played it that often

Sims 2. For some reason tendies always ignored games like this

>>10486086
>>10490103
blessed nascar chads

>>10474902
melee, re4, zelda but can't decide which, tos. maybe super monkey boll

>>10489624
Right reads better but I never really liked it. Needed a human figure probably.

i get that the ps2 has a bigger library and it has all these amazing things but i really have a tough time finding stuff i want to play on it. the gamecube just has so many things that are not only fun to play once but fun to replay too
doesnt help that ps2 emulation is ass

>>10491730
I think Sony’s first party output from the sixth gen is kind of forgettable. The third party exclusives are the main appeal.

>>10491730
If you grew up with Nintendo you are used to a certain quality. Makes it hard to enjoy a lot of PS1 or PS2 games people always act like are the best shit ever. There are good games but on the level of the best N64 or GameCube games? It's pretty even

>>10491769
Okami katamari and dark chronicle are what the ps2 has for me. Honestly id take the Xbox library over ps2

>>10492063
>Okami katamari and dark chronicle
based taste ever. there are a few more imo. ico is like one big zelda dungeon, the pal version fixes many flaws

>>10487008
i noticed the sound problems of sega's genesis emulation on the gamecube. i didnt notice input lag though. plays fine for me.

>>10491730
ps2 has a amazing library once you get past some of the surface level shit that was popular and ultimately made the industry garbage

>>10492654
The insane levels of hype absolute shit like God of War got back then still makes me shudder and reminds me that not everything was better back then

>>10474902
>And any honorable mentions?
Twin Snakes with the original OST hack is peak MGS.

Resident Evil 2 and 3 ports let you aim using the left shoulder button and run using the right shoulder button, it's extremely comfy to play. the game feels snappy and lighting fast

>>10492067
Ico isn't good though.

>>10474902
Gaypube had zero games I thought were good. I bought one when it had to go on sale for like 90 bucks like halfway through the gen because it sold so shit just to play Smash with my lame wussy friends who couldn't keep up with the rest of us playing Tekken and Marvel, but that was it. I can't give Smash credit though cause I think it sucks.

I was mildly interested in Metroid Prime but it just couldn't live up to the 2D, played the GBA ones to completion and forgot about Prime. Soul Calibur 2 is of course a classic, but playing it on the purple pile of shit was the worst cause the Playskool controller was crap, you needed dualshock.

>>10494926
This. PS2 was just better.

Eternal Darkness

It's an absolute trash Tony Hawk clone with character design by John Kricfalusi. Not worth anywhere NEAR what it goes for on the secondary market these days, I bought it for $80 back in ~2017 and still felt ripped off.

>>10481606
>Still hilarious NoA didn't want them when their English localization and dub was already done and excellent, same with Disaster. Wii era Nintendo was Nintendo at its most retarded
I feel like they just didn't think it was worth doing everything required for a retail release. If the Wii had actual full game digital distribution, I have no doubt that they'd have done that, the same way they did with Fatal Frame on the Wii U.

>>10497914
>Mario Party (yeah basically all of them)
How would you rank the gamecube Mario Parties?
>>10497890
heh, I wish.
>>10497821
alright, guess I'll just avoid any games that are reliant on time.

>>10497948
>How would you rank the gamecube Mario Parties?
6 = 7 > 5 > 4. Four is easily my least favorite of the entire series (not counting Advance and also pre-car) but it's also my go to for an actual 4 player game because as the one I'm least familiar with, it also means it's the one that's most likely to be even with friends.

>>10498016
>6 = 7 > 5 > 4.
Good answer. 7 was the one I grew up with, but I remember trying 4, 5 and 6 and thinking they ranged from alright to eh. I can easily name aspects I liked and didn't like about all four of them.
>Four is easily my least favorite of the entire series (not counting Advance and also pre-car)
Shit, for real? I know recently I've seen people say 4 has bad boards, but I liked 4's minigames and the lottery plus the water looks better in this game than it does in every other GCN Mario Party.
>it's also my go to for an actual 4 player game because as the one I'm least familiar with, it also means it's the one that's most likely to be even with friends.
good reasoning. 7 is the Mario Party i've played the most, but it's also the one everyone seemed to own as a kid.

Am I the only one who liked this as a kid? It's just a chibi musou but something about it felt soulful

>>10498429
Even as a kid I could tell it was crap, fault of the genre, but the GC version being kiddified DW is telling.

>>10498449
>Even as a kid I could tell it was crap
I mean, it's a musou
>but the GC version being kiddified DW is telling.
The PS2 version isn't?

>>10498509
>The PS2 version isn't?
did I say it was? I said DW you fucking tard guess what that means it's also a koei game

>>10498429
I rented this one at Blockbuster for a weekend and remember having a lot of fun with it. I should really give it another go.

>>10498520
Why are Playstation fanboys always so mad, bad at syntax and sitting in Nintendo threads even though they don't like Nintendo? It's so odd. Like, calm down. It's video games

>>10498617
>bad at syntax

Just FYI, it’s PlayStation, not Playstation.

>>10498620
What does Sony's stylization have to do with syntax?
>the arrangement of words and phrases to create well-formed sentences
?
Should've used a period instead of a comma here >>10498449
>crap,
and come up with a different word than "version" to refer to an entire genre. As it is, you have no right to be such an asshole for being misread, even when taking black narcissism into account. And if you really want to make sure no one misunderstands you, stop trying so hard to be subtle (like a rat would) and just say the GC is babby shit and you hate it. Of course then you would still look obsessed, monitoring a thread about something you don't even like (almost like a janny)

Man, it's never-ending rabbit holes with playstation fanboys

>>10498775
PlayStation*

>>10498775
Don’t criticize others when you’re making similar mistakes. PlayStation, not Playstation. GameCube, not Gamecube.

Is there someone who had a Cube, liked his Cube but didn't like this game?

>>10502352
Even my normie brother who only liked Halo at the time loved it and I caught him playing it when I got home from school. It was wholesome

>>10502012
There's a fan mod of 3 that pretty much converts the PS2 version into the Arcade Edition. That might me worth checking out.

RE4 was never good. Those who liked it, never played the original RE games. It is completely disconnected from the real RE games. RE4 could have been titled "Emo Mass Shooter Kills Innocent Spanish Villagers" and no one would even play it, let alone buy it.

>Emo Mass Shooter
Way to out yourself, you fucking massive homo.

>If you grew up with Nintendo you are used to a certain quality. Makes it hard to enjoy a lot of PS1 or PS2 games people always act like are the best shit ever. There are good games but on the level of the best N64 or GameCube games?
Nintendo didn't have the best games of most genres since the SNES, sorry youngn'.

What Nintendo did have was Mario and Zelda, so if your gaming loyalty lies with things like that of course you're always going to favor the Nintendo console, but if that's not your thing then not really.

>>10483129
thpsu1 is fucking mid

>>10505793
>if your gaming loyalty lies with things like that [good games with infinite charm] of course you're always going to favor the Nintendo console
I concur

Smash, Tales of Symphonia, Pikmin
Honorable mention to Soul Calibur II, Timesplitters 2 and Baldur's Gate

Yet you RE4 fags are the ones who have a boner for Leon.

>>10506314
That's because he's the absolute opposite of an emo in the original RE4. You'd know that if you actually played the fucking thing.

>>10506413
His hairstyle looks exactly like the emo hairstyle.

>>10479873
If it's a full price remaster

>>10474902
I'm going to stick to just exclusives or games that were definitively better on Gamecube because otherwise it would be like half just Need for Speed titles:

Super Monkey Ball 2
F Zero GX
Custom Robo
Kirby Air Ride
Animal Crossing

Honorable Mentions
Sonic Adventure 1/2
Super Monkey Ball 1
Pikmin 1/2

>>10480145
Since Awakening you've been able to completely entirely skip the enemy phase, but imo that gives off a weird disconnect. It's part of the experience to have the enemy surprise you.

>>10474902
The laser reader on mine doesn't work anymore, RIP. Wonder if repairing it or buying a refurbished one costs more

>>10506451
I've never noticed this before but you're right!

>>10507283
just use a hacked wii. with USBLoaderGX you don't even have to use a wiimote and can just play Gamecube games.

>>10507283
you could do what this anon said
>>10507717
or you could get a GCLoader which replaces your optical drive with an SD card reader, then just run ROMs from there.

I did it to my gamecube and haven't looked back. Bit pricey but being able to play basically all the GameCube games ever at my fingertips is so good.

I have copies on my Wii hard drive for USB loader but its not as fast to get into games imo.

>>10507283
This is why all the so-called gamers screaming for people to buy "physical games" are total lolcows. These consoles aren't going to last forever, your CDs and cartridges aren't going to last forever. Digital preservation is the only real method of preservation we have for video games, and it stands to reason that that should be the priority alongside software emulation. Anyone who stands in front of shelves of plastic boxes and brittle CDs in the name of "preserving games" is a complete idiot, plain and simple.

>>10507313
See? I knew it wasn't just me who noticed that.

>>10507870
No one asked

>>10507870
t.Poorfag who can't afford physical copies in 2023

P.S. My cartridges and CD's are over 30-years old and they're in great shape.

>>10507717
i use Nintendont just so i can plug in any usb gamepad for multis

Why?

Are you a fuckin' woman?

>>10474902
i love me cube. still remember ogling it in the local department store when me was a boy

are there any gamecube games that had any real notable changes between it's original release and the player's choice reprint?

>>10474921
how hard is it to unlock shrek? unironically makes the game more interesting to me. are there other funny costumes?

>>10509153
I didn't even know there were changes at all or that Player's Choice was less desireable. I always preferred them because the silver looked cool

>>10474902
Killer7, RE4, Billy Hatcher, OoT MQ, Double Dash

>>10510554
I know the player's choice prints of Metroid Prime patch up some tricks that speedrunners use, but that's about it.
>I always preferred them because the silver looked cool
better than the yellow stripes NA got.

>>10509261
IIRC all needed to do was to beat story mode. Phil Margera was pretty funny too. Only other good one I can think of was a severed hand (so it's like you're playing with a fingerboard). The rest are just NPC characters

>>10511672
RE4 was never good.

what was the gamecube's best racing game of 2003?

Played lots of melee, timesplitters 2, the Bond games, and Cel Damage with friends--Tales of Symphonia, Custom Robo. and Lost Kingdoms 1&2 by myself. Kind of surprised Custom Robo hasn't been remastered with online multiplayer. Going to start Lost Kingdoms 2 soon after beating 1 finally by figuring out how to cheese the last fight.

I feel as though including non-Gamecube exclusive games in your top 5 list detracts from the fecundity of the GameCube's ample bosom -- that is to say, it's rich library of kino games.
Here is my top 5:
Need for Speed: Underground
Need for Speed: Most Wanted
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2
Need for Speed: Carbon
and of course, Chibi-Robo

>>10512104
I can tell you one thing: it's not Kirby's Gay Air Ride, F-Zero Gay-X, or Mario Kart Double Dookie.

>>10475249
thug 2 unironically has the best controls of all the tony hawk games besides thug 1. Shit feels tight as hell and allows for faster tricks/combos than the pro skater games. Sure, yeah it was my first TH game and might discredit me but honestly the controls cannot compare to the pro skater games. closest one was THPS 4. Going back to older entries was hard when I was used to the underground games because of how faster paced they can be

highly recommend it, even though it doesnt have many fans due to it pretty much being jackass the video game and barely having any connection to the first underground game plot wise.

>>10513257
>thug
wtf i only realize this now. this name is 10/10 marketing

>>10489624
Right is better but looks too much like 1

>>10489391
Prime 1 just feels like a slog in the beginning, and has a less interesting desert environment than Prime 2's. I can see why people didn't care for the dreary atmosphere of the second game, but it's more memorable to me. Neither of them beat Prime 3 though, which is the best in the series.

>>10474902
I prefer Nintendo 64.

Holy shit, a rare based opinion haver

imagine spending 300 dollars on a fucking video game from the 90s on a cdrom, shits retarded. i buy old consoles, immediately mod them and play backups. physical copies of CD games are dangerously cringe . at least if you spent a bunch of money on a pokemon game you got a neat unique cartridge with a holographic label. cds you are just left with a horribly fragile medium with a generic cd case that could easily be reproduced with a printer and bulk packs of reproduction cases from amazon. what a fucking waste of money

>>10512640
Great cartoon aesthetic and very solid gameplay. Not great though

My controller has finally arrived. What are some games that made the best use of it?

>>10516276
Luigi’s Mansion and Mario Sunshine are the main games I can think of that made use of the pressure sensitive triggers.

>>10477431
Switch on my wish list

>>10512640
The GC cover art have removed bust cross but remain intact.

>>10506451
>His hairstyle
You absolute faggot.

>>10506451
Nah, FF characters look like emo fags from 2005. Leon just has longer hair

>>10516908
What did he mean by this?

GameCube was excellent for multiplayer.
It's weird that PS2 insisted on not adding 2 more controller ports.
