Just hack a Wii my man

anyway my favorites are probably
Rogue Leader
Pikmin 1 and 2
Paper Mario TTYD
Harvest Moon Wonderful Life
Mario Golf Toadstool Tour

my 100% honest best advice is to use a small portion of the money you'd otherwise lose on collecting to fuck an escort a few times so you can finally lose your virginity and not worry about it anymore, then build a cool PC and emulate all the games. you may not want to accept it, but this is what you actually need to do.

>>9271427
Naw. Not interested in that. I like the real thing. I don't want to get more than a handful of games anyway. System really sucks and made me quit Nintendo.

>>9271429
But I have a wife and kids, anon.

Here you go my man

The thing with the Wii is that the component cabled are dirt cheap so it displays your games in a much higher quality unless you want to spend an ass ton of the GameCube components.

>>9271437
>>9271498
What about HDMI mods?

Blame the Coof for the first hike, then those fags in WATA for the second, shittier hike.
Viewtiful Joe, either Pikmins, and Paper Mario are good choices. But seriously getting a Wii and hacking it, or using an emulator and pirating the ROMs is going to do way less damage to your wallet. Unless you really like the plastic on your shelf, which to be fair does look pretty good.

>>9271498
I was smart and ordered my component cable off of Nintendo's website the day it was available for $30. Wish I bought a dozen if I knew they would be so expensive now. Better than investing in my 401k.

>>9271486
Thanks, anon. A lot of those scores are wildly inflated, but a good start.

>>9271508
I use a Wii2Hdmi adapter personally, and had to go through a couple before I got one with acceptable image quality and black levels, but when they work they're quite a nice thing to have.

>>9271421
While they did start to sky rocket after the coof and WATA, Gamecube has steadily just been getting more expensive since like 2015ish.

The first major evidence of this to me was when like every major Gamecube game went over $40 used around 2016-2017.

>>9271421
If I had to add something to that collection it’d be Pikmin, Paper Mario, Killer 7 and maybe Viewtiful Joe

>>9271421
Based OP, your collection is really good as it is.

I started collecting for Gamecube this year after it sitting in the closet of my parents house since 2007.

Some stuff I really enjoy that you don’t have includes:

- Rogue Squadron 2
- Timesplitters 2
- Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes (I think this one has a really jacked up price though)
- Wind Waker (trust me I was also skeptical of “cellda” but it’s actually pretty good)
- Smash Bros Melee
- Mega Man X Collection
- Sonic Mega Collection and Gems collection
- Midway Arcade Treasures 3

F Zero GX looks amazing but I haven’t tried it yet.

You could also round out the Zelda and Resident Evil you already have by getting RE 2, 3, CV and Zelda Four Swords and Wind Waker, but it’ll cost you an arm and a leg to do so!

>>9271421
Kids that grew up with gamecube now has a job and money. Its going to happen to every console

Dolphin

>>9271421
Guys I hear about this Spartan game for gamecube, any good? Worth adding to my collection?
>>9271437
Admirable, anon. Nice to see you put your family first.

>>9271421
why would you want to buy copies of phantasy star ep I&II&III + broadband adapter at this point? i purchased my copies ages ago and continued playing them. thank goodness some of this shit is expensive so it doesn't sit on fucking shelves.

>>9271421
What kind of question is this? If you're a collector, collect games that you like. If there's a game you've never tried before these days there a bazillion channels to try it out for free before you buy. "Collecting" games that you consider to be part of some kind of universal canon or "must-have" or hell even asking the question "what do I collect" is just plain hoarding.

>>9271421
You already have a very solid library.
Look into the SD2SP2, OP. You can buy a thing for like ten bucks that plugs into serial port 2 and can play .isos off of a microSD card. You don't need to mod the console at all; it just uses a save game exploit. It supports multiple games but I use mine with Melee.
If you don't have a softmodded Wii around that you can use to throw the save game exploit onto a GameCube memory card, you can probably find 3rd party ones that are preloaded on eBay or Amazon. Search for "SWISS memory card" or something to that effect.
You can play the entire library for like $40 tops this way. You don't need to collect any more games, dude.

>>9271421
multi: custom robo, super mario strikers, mario kart: dd, cel damage, zelda: 4 swords adventure, starfox: assault
solo: killer7, dk: jungle beat, geist, zelda: ww, odama
>t. pro

>>9276313
>t. pro
You literally named every generic normie tendie game on the console.
Shoot yourself.

I got rid of my collection after I got the SD memory card adapter and Swiss. It plays pretty much everything now flawlessly, which is great because the first time I used it 8 years ago it was absolutely atrocious and unusable.

>>9271421
F-Zero GX was by far the best F-Zero game ever released

>>9271421
frankly there's not that much.

>>9271996
See your point but disagree. I can’t envision many of the kids who grew up playing games post-2009 being nostalgic for them. They’ll probably be into retro iPhones.

>>9271996
Gamecube games always held their value. I don't think there was ever a time where a ton of people were dumping their collections like we saw with the Wii or PS2.

You've got the bulk of the good ones. I like Toadstool Tour as mentioned earlier, and Strikers.

>>9271421
If you can emulate GameCube at all, Luigi's Mansion, Pikmin, both Monkey Ball games, and both Pokemon games are very low end and also pretty solid games. If you can't emulate, at least get Luigi's Mansion, Pikmin, and Super Monkey Ball 2. F-Zero GX is also great. If you care about Sonic games at all, I usually recommend Gems Collection, but you might like Heroes and Billy Hatcher too. Get Shadow the Hedgehog if you really like SA2's story.

>>9277910
Fortnite Classic would probably draw a pretty sizeable playerbase in like ten years.

When an eurofag sees the pic and says "You have them upside down". I never knew what to do with the US imports of sequels that did not got to Europe, put them next to their previous games, or grouped together on the side of the collection.

If the prices were acceptable, I would get:

- Baten Kaitos (I had to import Origins from the US)
- Geist: Ok, not Metroid prime, but the possesion mechanic and the puzzles were you act like a poltergeist are pretty fun
- Luigi's Mansion (if any europoor is reading this, go for the US version, I'm not completely sure, but I believe this one lacked a 60hz mode)

Do you still use the original discs and Gamecube? I haven't used mine in like forever, I usually play them on the modded Wii from a USB hard drive. Toward the ends of the system's life I got an import player boot disc and US versions of a few games that I wanted to replay in 480p (I got lucky finding the component cable for cheap)

>>9271994
it's clear to me that a lot of the design choices you see in modern mario kart games are inspired by F-Zero GX. They really got the most out of all 3 dimensions of space

I bought a bunch of sega games on ebay for like 9 bucks that said they worked and they dont. Fuck me.

>>9271421
>american trash versions
Put that shit in the bin

>>9271421
Mario Kart Double Dash features a dual character combination mechanics that has not really been featured in any other release of the series. Give it a try.

>>9271437
Wii is the real thing. A Wii is a GameCube with higher clock speeds.
You can probably go on Craigslist right now and find a Wii for next to nothing. Letterbomb it, stick in a thumb drive and just play the stupid games you want to play. It’s so worthless to pay premium prices for something that’s just going to collect dust after you’re done with your nostalgia trip.
Your wife doesn’t want you bringing home more cukshit.

>>9282947
show paper stack.

Ultimate you should do what makes you happy here but fuck paying $300 a game for gamecube it’s a complete joke yea good for you if you got a collection you should sell it before the market smartens up and the price crashes

i only buy games i want to play. i don’t care about buying something just because it’s valuable.

>>9284996
Kek. Any real collector would be happy if the market completely crashed. I'm never selling and I'd be happy to buy more games I want to pick up.

>>9285374
Look the problem isn’t the collectors it’s the speculative investors and the influencers who push for this bullshit. At the end collectors and game enjoyers suffer for it. There is no reason why GameCube titles should go for as much as they do. $300-400 a game lmfao. We are clearly in a bubble and the price is gonna plummet changing the perception of GameCube as shit that nobody wants. These faggots better stay the fuck away from Wii U but I’m afraid it might be the next target of these people who only buy shit that they think other people want to buy

>>9284795
I did on my intro to my Jet Set Radio video, until the music got copyright struck.

>>9285374
This

>>9282947
so many great games. this thread is sorely lacking in gamecube collections

>>9271421
lots of good stuff there
Killer 7 is essential

>>9289340
and Skies of Arcadia if you don't have it on Dreamcast

>>9271429
>fuck an escort and lose your virginity
no one actually does this, if you exchange money directly to sex then it doesn't count

I have a factory sealed copy of super mario sunshine with the plastic wrap and everything. How much do you think it's worth?

>>9291385
ask ebay

>>9291385
you have two choices: get it graded and list it for like $1200 and watch as it sits unsold for several years, or sell it for like $299 and make a quick buck

>>9289340

Can someone redpill me on Killer 7? One of my best friends has a steel hard-on for it so I played it. I thought it was cool but the control scheme felt so retarded. Been a few years so maybe I'll give it another go.

>>9291385
play the game or sell it right now like >>9291623 suggested

>>9282947
Whats the game above melee?

>>9291682
That's Mystic Heroes.

>>9291704
Never heard of it before but it looks fun. Thanks anon.

>>9291623
>rated
How the fuck do you even do that? SMS is the black sheep of super mario so is it even worth it?

>>9291631
I think the control scheme adds to the experience in a way. It's a crazy game with crazy characters and a crazy plot, the control scheme just helps you to detach from regular conventions and adapt to the madness.

>>9292025
I love the atmosphere and tone of that game. It's so unlike everything.

>>9271421
Get Killer7 my man, it's awesome
