If you have a girlfriend, play Animal Crossing with her. Trust me.

if you already have a wii then go play tatsunoko and the last story instead of looking at the past.

>>8477627
>tatsunoko
dangerously based

>>8477308
Depends which games you played on PS2 and on later Nintendo systems, cause a lot of the best Gamecube titles got ported. I'm thinking of Capcom titles specifically.
Obviously the Metroid Prime series.
Melee might seem like a weird choice but it does have lots of single player shit to do, so if you find the game fun then that's there.
F-Zero GX. If you don't like racing games then you better try to like this one cause it's more or less the best thing on the console.

>>8477308
Super Monkeyball 1&2.

>>8477626
>If you have a girlfriend
Where do you think you are?
>>8477665
I generally hate Smash bros. Melee especially is just too fast and chaotic. The original on N64 is really fun though.

>>8477627
>go play 10+ year old games instead of looking at the past

>>8477701
>The original on N64 is really fun though.
Yeah, I always preferred it for certain things like how impactful Yoshi feels. Mind blowing game when it first game out.

>>8477708
Surprisingly Yoshi became my main now.
I used to want to play him as a kid but I didn't get the hand of him and played Link instead. Yoshi in 64 is great though, now that I learned how to play him.

his lack of up+b to jump higher really triggered me, as did ness.

Cubivore
Custom Robo
Paper Mario 7
Zelda Twilight Princess
Tales of Symphonia but instead of playing it pretend you did because the game is cursed with bad luck

>>8477932
Same, but with Ness you learn that you can blast him by hitting yourself with PK Thunder.
And Yoshi has the flutter jumps.

whenever you get the urge to ask for games for a console, go to that site

How do you run F-Zero AX using this?

>>8478705

no. the fandom wiki got overrun by redditors, don't use it.
https://vsrecommendedgames.miraheze.org/wiki/Gamecube

>>8478806
proof?

>>8477308
I dont know what you like. Lots of people like Smash Melee, metroid Prime, Resident Evil 4, Fzero x, luigis mansion, killer7, metroid prime2 paper mario ttyd, zeldas, pikmins. Neither starfox was great. Wario world was disappointing. But lots of people like mario and mgs too so idk.

You know it's quite amazing just how badass the Wii is. Name aside.
It plays Nintendo's full library up to DS and except for N64, but many of the N64 games you can load up via VC are the best games on the 64 so even there you're getting most of the N64.
The damn little shit is a game-playing madman. And it barely runs warmer than a bee's fart. Also, it's pretty sturdy to. Surprisingly hard to kill, vs. the GC which eats disc drives for breakfast. Easy component hookups too.
Is there a better retro system? Even though it's not technically /vr/ it does /vr/ content better than any other machine, even PC which doesn't like hooking up to trinitrons very much.

Pic related pulls all of that off. How? Is PowerPC really that adaptable?

USB loader GX better

>>8479037
that's just a front end dude

>>8479037
why would I use that when Nintendon't will load from SD card?

>>8477308
Super Monkey Ball

Fire Emblem 9
Wario World

Sunshine is not a very good game honestly. But with homebrew you can at least install the Sunburn mod to make it a bit better.

>>8479014
I always thought the Wii deserved more credit and people forget how good it is
>Retarded guy I know owns a Wii

>Say nothing
Fuck it, I'm getting my Wii out tomorrow. Going to play those shitty Sonic storybook games and some Trauma Center

>>8478068
I massively prefer the original gamecube controls over the wii or modded versions

>>8477873
>>8478832
>Resident Evil 4
does it really count as a GC game if you can play it any platform known to man including PC and Wii

I hacked my Wii with the homebrew exploit, but every time I launch the console I have to navigate the homebrew menu with the power and reset buttons in order to boot to the wii menu. Is there anyway I can just have the system launch directly into the wii main menu like normal?

>>8479106
Wii's OK, never really got any great games though. People give it too much credit as some hidden gem factory.

>>8479089
USB loader just is a neat launcher that shows all the game cases
it still uses nintendont

>>8479118
wrong

>>8479116
There's menu options, I thing, you can set that allows you to boot in right to the main sys menu. BootMii is what you're using right?

>>8479118
I mean the console is worth it just for galaxy and galaxy 2 but otherwise you're pretty correct.
it's a shitty gimmick console, no real depth

>>8477308
>What have I been missing out on?
Super Robot Wars GC had it's fan translation finished last year, worth playing if you like strategy games and/or giant robots

>>8479014
My GC's disk drive is perfectly fine. Take care of your shit and it won't brake

>>8479484
Link?

Why would anyone on /vr/ choose a Wii over a pi?

>>8479089
USBloader also loads from SD card. Except for Wii games for some reason that has to be USB.

>>8480379
Pi is trash, I don't know what you people see in it. Not a single one of the SNES emulators is good, it either looks like stop motion or it has trash sound. It's also so prone to freezing and crashing it's comical. Raspberry pi was truly one of my biggest cases of buyers remorse, and I didn't even run anything more advance than a fucking playstation 1 game on it. Pain in the god damn dick to set up too for such little pay off.

With the Wii, installing homebrew channel is so easy a fucking ape could do it and the emulators all work pretty damn well. And as an added bonus the thing can actually run more than two N64 games without shitting all over itself.

>>8477308
>SMS sucked
ehhhhh i guess i'll still give you some recs

f zero gx
ikaruga
wave race blue storm
crystal chronicles (think you can't really enjoy it without other people though)
pso if you don't have blue burst
resident evil 1 remake
luigi's mansion
the only good Animal Crossing
Metroid Prime trilogy (i only played 1 though)
Wind Waker
Melee
Double Dash

probably forgetting a million games but those are pretty good imo

the fuck didn't you like sunshine though? just not into the bing bing?

>>8477308
I basically just play Double Dash and Resident Evil games on it. If you have someone to play, this console has many Mario Party games.

>>8480379
pi doesn't do dolphin very well.
also I've had the wii since it came out, along with a wavebird controller which I can't use on the pi

>>8478702
What kind of thumb drive is that? You use that on a Wii?

>>8480403
>Pain in the god damn dick to set up too for such little pay off.
How on earth is burning a prebuilt image of retropie a pain in the dick?

see the problem with Pis are that no one really understands what they are.
if you approach it like a fun toy to learn linux on, you'll have a much better time.

>>8479118
I'm playing Rhythm Heaven Fever right now and I think it's fucking fantastic. What's your definition of a "great game"? I'm honestly beginning to think that the Wii has a better library than the Gamecube.

>>8480465
Wii does have a better library than the gamecube, but neither console had any great games.

>>8477308
>Only GameCube game I played was Twin Snakes and Super Mario Sunshine, which both sucked
you have shit taste

>>8480626
TTS is a broken game and the cutscenes are hilariously bad.
I've played the original on PS1 and it's no contest
Sunshine is just generally a bland and boring game. Tons of filler

>>8480445
That's cool, but the question was why get a Wii over a pi, and I don't give a single shit about learning Linux.

>>8479014
Is GBA emulation any better on the Wii? Last time I wanted to use it it had major slowdown

>>8480405
I can't really think of any reason to go with the Gamecube version of PSO over Blue Burst at this point. 3 is worth a shot if the turn-based card battling doesn't put you off though.

>>8477308
Very obvious pick but Metroid Prime 1 and 2, fuckin fantastic games. If you're a dirty casual that doesn't like the tank controls you can play it on Wii, but GC is fine when you get used to it

>>8477627
>instead of looking at the past.
Are you lost or something? Where do you think we are?

>>8480439
Sandisk 64gb, and yes.

>>8480445
I'm not a coder and I don't wanna learn linux. I want an emu-box that plugs into the component inputs on the back of my trinitron, and can accept decent controllers, and can play GC/Wii games and some N64 games to boot. Oh, and a not too shabby Neo-Geo selection.

>>8480738
Seems fine on my end. mGBA works best for GBA, VBA-GX best for GB/GBC.

>>8477308
F-Zero GX.

>>8481151
Oh cool, because I've heard that thumbdrive compatibility is bad beyond 32gb but I have a sandisk usb that runs great too. By the way, did you know that nintendont can run your gamecube games in nkit.iso? It saves a ton of space and works just the same.

>>8481734
All the cube games I want are already on the drive. If I need more space I can use the external HDD I have for Wii games. I just dragged and dropped from the GC torrent folder. Extra steps are not needed.
I have tens of thousands of bucks worth of shit at my disposal. Fuck the police, fuck scalpers, fuck "i know what i have"s, fuck nintendo's bullshit pricing. For a corporation that hates piracy they sure as shit did themselves in with the king of all piracy consoles. Serves em right.

>>8481151
Not the guy you're replying but for GB/GBC I use Retroarch with the Gambatte core (I think you can use the mgba core too), it's a bit of a pain in the ass to configure. And it might crash if you don't do it properly, but it looks great when you finally get it right. One of the best things about it is that it has good palette options for GB and color correction for GBC games.

>>8479106
Wii is such trash.

>>8480541
Again, what do you mean by "great game"?

>>8481787
My issue with GB/C on a tube TV boils down to preventing a blinding screen from wrecking the phosphors on the tube. VBA-GX allows for an easy way to make the visuals not blinding, and it doesn't have the crackly audio of mBGA's GB emulation. Everything feels just right, and playing with the SNES Classic controller basically makes it like having a Super Gameboy.
I have vision issues so playing on my SP is hard as a coffin nail, gets tiring on the eyes after a few hours because I need a magnifying lamp. Point being, the options that the Wii+emulation has allows for my blind-ass to easily see shit.

>>8481824
something of the caliber of dmc, ninja gaiden, etc.

>>8481828
Fair enough, I don't like vba-gx because I never get the gb palettes to work. But I like the interface and it's super easy to set up.

>>8477308
Why did you go through the effort of you buying a Wii, hacking it, installing an emulator for another console which has no games that you like on it without the intention of playing some specific game or games on it? It seems like you only just started to look for games to play after doing all that and you are at such a loss that you have to ask strangers on the internet what to play.

>>8481906
>emulator

My USB Loader GX app is acting kinda sus. It won't fucking load the USB device even though it doesn't do the "waiting for HDD..." thing. It puzzles me because I can access the GameCube games directly from the Nintendont app without any problems whatsoever, so I have to assume it's a problem with the app itself. Also, I tried to chance some USB-related settings and it froze the Wii, like I had to press the Power Button for seconds for it to turn off. Dunno, kinda sus if you ask me.

>>8482134
USB Loader GX can be a pain.
I got mine to work by making sure the drive is formatted to NTFS, and having the Wii games transferred using Wii Backup Manager.
https://wii.guide/site-navigation
It's been a while so I forget all the steps.

>>8479142
Sorry for delay, yeah i am using BootMii from the letterbomb exploit.

>>8482298
Have you tried booting up without the SD card in?

>>8482298
Too add to this, I current just have a 4GB SD card in my Wii, but can I just drag and drop the files in it into a new larger micro SD card later, or do I need to redo the letterbomb exploit again for that specific micro SD card?

>>8482308
I have not. Why?

>>8482314
No just drag and drop to locations specified in the help files of each separate application

>>8482314
When the letterbom hacked your wii(hate typing that out FUCK YOU NINTENDO for naming it Wii), the system was hacked at its core memory level. That's what BootMii does, it protects against a bricking by keeping the original image of the system's OS intact for recovery from boot.

Also, by removing the SD card you should be able to boot right into the standard system menu.

>>8482314
>>8482298
ALSO, IMPORTANT!
When BootMii initializes, it turns on the GC controller ports. You can navigate the BootMii menu using a GC controller. The Wiimote doesn't initialize because it's wireless and I assume wireless protocols are not initialized until BootMii is exited from startup and into the main Wii menu.

If you got a Cube controller, use that to navigate!

>>8482332
>>8482340
Ohh, so if I take the SD card out, install new homebrew files and games onto the new SD, then inster it back in it will keep everything installed onto it already? Such as my install WAD file for Paper Mario and Rondo of Blood?

>>8482858
I believe the "channels" and saves are all saved on the system's memory. Emulation save files(for emulators on HBC) are saved on SD card.
The SD card is useful just as a backup for the system's NAND image to unbrick the console if you mess it up, and as a storage for games/WADs. It's a solid-state booster pack.

>>8477308
this one's a hoot

>>8481906
>buying a Wii
Given that he's played Super Mario Sunshine and Twin Snakes before it seems that he already owned it
Wii systems are plentiful and very cheap so it's not like that's an issue anyway
>without the intention of playing any specific games on it
He's only asking about GCN games, the Wii can play much more

Billy Hatcher is a good one

>>8481906
OP here, you're a literal retard.
I've had the Wii since launch.
Wii plays GC natively.
I installed homebrew because I don't want to buy games.
I ask strangers on the internet because I have no friends

>>8478806
I've checked as far down as FF Crystal Chronicles and it's the same list, faggot.

So many posts and nobody even mentions the best damn game made for this thing

>>8477615
Mario and metroid are ok

>>8484089
there's no reason to stay on the shitty old fandom wiki, faggot.

>>8485646
There's no reason to use a new list that's just been copypasted across either, you prancing homosexual.
