/vr/ - Retro Games

>>7347272
Mario, Zelda, the list goes on

F-Zero GX and Metroid Prime are the only good exclusives on it

mario melee, mario kart, mario soccer, mario golf, mario party, mario baseball, the list goes on and on...

The library is so limited that there aren't like a trove of #HiddenGems but for me the games worth checking out are

Star Wars Rogue Leader
Double Dash
Metroid Prime 1 and 2 (though I prefer motion controls on the Wii rereleases)
Zelda Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, and Four Swords Adventures
The Zelda Collection is good too even though Majoras Mask is notorious for crashing. Apparently disabling controller rumble makes it crash less.
Luigi's Mansion
Mario Golf Toadstool Tour
Star Fox Assault
Baten Kaitos
PN 03
Killer 7
Super Monkey Ball 1 and 2
Viewtiful Joe 1 and 2
Wario World
Mario Party 4
Simpsons Hit and Run
SSX 3
Pikmin 1 and 2 (I prefer these without the Wii motion controls)
Super Mario Sunshine (thought the switch port is objectively better now that they've fixed the camera and added analogue trigger support)
The Pokemon games are interesting if youre a pokemon fan just because it's a taste of what the series might be like without Game Freak holding the reins


Some of these are multiplats and usually the Xbox versions are a bit higher fidelity but I still like the Gamecube

I like the gamecube, it's overrated by a lot of youtubers and unnecessarily trashed on by /vr/ a lot of the time. Its definitely not Nintendo's best console and doesnt have as much to offer as other Gen 6 consoles but some of the games on it are the best titles in their respective franchises

>>7347272
Getting a new console

>>7347272
Pikmin 1, Sunshine, Melee, Mario Golf, Mario Baseball, Mario Party 4, and F-Zero GX are my main recs. Luigi's Mansion and Double Dash are also good games.

>>7347308
>>7347314
The list goes on meme is real

>>7347272
F-Zero GX
Super monkey ball
Super monkey ball 2
Burnout
Burnout 2
Soul Calibre II

>>7347272
Anon if you want a true hidden gem play pic related right now

>>7347308
>Super Mario Sunshine (though the switch port is objectively better now)
Disagree, the game simply was not built for that resolution and draw distance, and especially with the dimished heatwave effect you can more easily see visual flaws like Piantas T-posing before you're within range, and once you notice Peach's "eyerings" in one of the early FMVs you will have nightmares.
>No Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
Get with the level.

REmake 1 is the best GC game

>>7347546
oh yeah how could i forget TTYD, duh

Eternal Darkness is one of the best true GameCube exclusives.

Twin Snakes is pretty dope as well.

Sonic Heroes and Shadow the Hedgehog are best on GameCube but not really recommended, exercise caution

Super Smash Bros. Melee

>>7348126
Embarrassing that nintenfags have to pad their lists with multiplats and actual shovelware

>>7347272
Xenoblade Chronicles, Pikmin, Luigis Mansion, Metroid Prime. Baten Kaitos, Resident Evil Remake and Zero, Fire Emblem Path of Radiance, Eternal Darkness, Killer 7. Skies of Arcadia, Super Monkey Ball

>>7347310
fuck you
>>7347272
Path of Radiance is an excellent game, but recommend emulating it because of the price. I lucked out and got a CIB copy from a friend for $80

>>7348142
>first game is a wii exclusive
???

>>7348140
>The segafag that only had shitty arcade game ports that ended up on other systems anyway won't get over his vaporware scam consoles that failed every time

>>7347545
My friend is a fellow GameCube fag and was ranting on and on about how good this game is. Picked it up, really boring and shitty.

>>7348149
off your meds again I see

Evolution Worlds and Skies of Arcadia Legends IF you can't be bothered with a Dreamcast.

Am I the only one who got immense pleasure out of the NES games and was turned off when they were removed in later entries? It may just be an emulation but it was such a novelty back then, with they kept the idea to run NES ROMs off your Memory Card. Also gonna add Doshin the Giant if you want something experimental. Yes I know these are technically N64/DD ports but they were Japan only so I consider them exclusive.
>Baten Katos listed twice but no Baten Katos Origins.
Huh, didn't think it was THAT bad.

>>7348263

Metroid Prime 1&2 are better on Wii.
Wind Waker & Twilight Princess

>>7348145
Just play the games on a Wii or a Wii U with Nintendon't.

>>7348263
I have that memory card, no idea if the files were on there

>>7348282
>Sonic Adventure 1&2
>Metroid Prime 1&2 are better on Wii.
Anon these sets of games are both better on their original consoles, a number of graphical and lighting effects were simplified when ported.

>>7348294
Aiming with the Wii Remote beats random effets on rocks.

>>7347308
>Simpsons Hit and Run
The GameCube version is inferior to the Xbox version in every way. The game also has a PC port that runs on toasters and is much better than the GameCube version.
>SSX 3
Missing tricks in the GameCube version due to the GameCube controller only having one shoulder button.

>>7348329
it's more particles and lighting effects but either way you're partly right, the thing is though that prime games have lock on so it's not really about aiming

>>7348341
yeah i literally said the xbox versions are better retard

>>7348329
Not him but I also found Wii aiming trivializes combat.

>>7348363
>Wii aiming trivializes combat
GC literally has lock on, how does aiming with a wiimote trivialise something that's already auto aim?

>>7348372
Moreso the reach, your shot range is much wider and faster on Wii last I remembered, but maybe I'm confused with another game.

>>7348151
Fuck you and your shit taste, Metal Arms is awesome.

>>7348383
like I said though, GC version has lock on aiming, the only downside to this is you can't lead you bullets if an enemy is fast

>>7348357
My bad, didn't bother reading the rest of your post after you revealed yourself to be a moron. It's not just "higher fidelity", and it's not just the Xbox versions. The games themselves are gimped. The GameCube version of SSX 3, a game about performing tricks, has less than half of the tricks of the PS2 and Xbox versions. There is 0 reason to play that version of the game.

F-Zero GX
Pikmin
Resident Evil 1, 4
Super Monkey Ball 1, 2
Killer 7

That's all I needed anyway. There's other good stuff but whatever. Metroid never should have gone 3D, even though Metroid Prime is a good game. I never played any Zeldas past Ocarina of Time. Resident Evil 0 is fine but I don't care, the remake of the first game covered that territory already. Viewtiful Joe is good but it's not Pikmin. Mario Sunshine is mostly good but I got tired of it. Luigi's Mansion is good but not all that substantial. Soul Calibur and Smash Bros. are excellent if you're into that genre and have people to play with, but they're just pretty good otherwise. The same goes for WarioWare. Nobody ever needed more Mario Kart beyond the SNES one.

I mean I still think it's a good console. A box that plays only Pikmin or only F-Zero GX would be a good console. (I never played any Pikmin sequel so I don't know one way or the other about that.)

>>7348271
no he wasn't, I skipped the next few games because of this but jumped back in recently when I heard it brought back Puzzle League.

>>7348418
>playing a game so you could play another game
ok?

>>7348263
Honestly I thought the minigames they put in new leaf (both the island ones and the amiibo-based ones from the update) were better than the NES games.

It's still really cool to collect entire NES games within another game, but most of what you could get were just novelties you'd play for 5 minutes and forget, you pretty much had to hack in the actual good event ones like Metroid and Zelda

If you include gen 6 console multiplats that are best played emulated on dolphin, you can't omit Hulk Ultimate Destruction

Ikaruga is a fun shoot em up. Resident Evil remake and 4, Rogue Squadron, FZero, Phantasy star online but only if you have friends to play it with, same with Smash bros but don't get into it competitively unless you want to become a furry tier loser. Check out Metal Gear if you never played it on PSX.
>>7347308
>Double Dash
Worst Mario Kart ever.

Buying a Dreamcast, PS2 or Xbox would be a wiser choice if you were after a stronger library.

suck my cock you fat retard

>>7349420
>>Double Dash
>Worst Mario Kart ever.

Second this, it is hilariously bad.

From the good ones:

Super Mario Strikers
both Burnouts

>>7349391
Its weird you say that because I kind of felt like the journey to collect these games and find them all was way more fun than to play them really.

Lost Kingdom gets overlooked, it's Blockbuster rental kino

>>7349978
>>7349420
Can you two explain why you do not like DoubleDash? Was it the dissapointment of it not being Jak X Combat racing? Where you had AI controlling the car or throwing objects for you?

>>7348140
To be fair the multiplats listed were Gamecube as the lead platform.

>>7348140
Embarassing that Snoybois keep reaching to defend systems that only sell well because normies want an overglorified DVD player

>>7350051
Played a lot of Crash Team racing. Then a lot of Speed Punks. Then some Rollcage. Then a lot of Mario Kart DS. Then tried Double Dash, and it was unironically worse than every one of the above. Maps are flat crap, with long jump being a gimmick. Car behaviour is too simplistic, it is similar in DS, but maps in DS were 10x better. Car "physics" in CTR and Speed Punks is much better, I also liked one in Rollcage, though it is peculiar there. I probably had too high expectations for Double Dash and was disappointed.

I was trying to do vs with my friends and it was only 3 of us rather than 8 cpu.
