Pikmin. Only played it recently but the game gives me cozy nostalgia of playing outdoors in the woods when I was a child.


Gameplay is also nice and has good replayability.

Donkey Kong Jungle Beat.

Best Donkey Kong game.

Predecessor to the Mario Galaxy games developed by the same team. Amazingly creative levels with addictive gameplay.

Feels a bit like MegaMan as each world (consisting of two levels) has a boss fight focused around a certain gimmick. "karate king" etc, etc... bossfight also have boxing gameplay instead of typical platforming which is cool. (Outside the bird, hog, and elephant ones)

Also this. Such an underrated game. The way it looked like a simple game for children ruined its possible success, but it’s actually something close to Moon: Remix RPG Adventure (directed by one of Moon’s directors) and Majora’s Mask sidequest parts.

Rogue Squadron 2
I played the demo at Walmart at the kiosk near the video games where you had to break your neck to look at the TV before the GameCube came out.

It can not be understated how fucking incredible looking and feeling this game was in 2001. I didn’t understand “bump mapping” or “60 fps” back then, but that’s immediately what I was impressed by. It looked just like the Special Edition CGI and was buttery smooth. It felt like “the future”.
This is the game that made me want a GameCube and it remained, in my opinion, the most technically impressive and fun game for its lifespan.
This game STILL looks amazing.

GameCube is an odd beast because I’d say a majority of its most technically impressive games came out closer to its launch than its end.

Finally, it’s there with one of the best Star Wars games ever made.

Yep. It’s a shame because it’s genuinely one of the best GC games. The ironic part is that the original formula could have been a hit if they had marketed it better and had more confidence in it. This type of non-traditional, quirky, and chill game has proven to have an audience over the past two decades.

What’s interesting is that it wasn’t even that niche - Nintendo published it, they had Iwata and Miyamoto as producers - they could have marketed it more, made a Switch remaster… but they just don’t give a shit about it after ruining the series (I know about one good sequel on DS, didn’t play it yet).
And it’s interesting to compare it with Chulip - another game in the same genre, from another Love-de-Lic alumni. This game is charming and has potential, but sucks so hard in comparison to Chibi Robo. No amounts of marketing could have saved it.

yea but don't worry the same wave of hatred is coming for the GameCube. when you build your console up to the stratosphere and it isn't actually that good, there's a dramatic fall back down to earth. and when it does I'm gonna be there, I already know the role I'm gonna play to. I'm gonna be the guy who brings up the number of games it has only 600 and change.

I'm gonna be the fucking number posting fag of the GameCube. and if they galvanize that somehow with some shit like " what's in a number" then I still win because it helps the N64. it's a trap.

85 percent of its library is ps2 ports, all of which look and run better on Xbox. N64 came from a time where multiplats were less of a thing so it has a natural advantage.

Yes I did, what you don't seem to understand is that N64 still got plenty of multiplats from PS1 with downgraded audio and removed cutscenes. Generally only the three companies I listed would provide games designed to the N64's strengths.

>I just did there's nothing there
You seemed to miss Bloody Roar Extreme, for one. And the fact you only considered killer7 out of everything posted here only because it's better than on PS2 doesn't help your case.

Now tell me what's there to play on N64 besides the games from the three companies I mentioned and PS1/Saturn ports. See? I can do there same you're doing.

no I'd contest that, id say there are more trade offs then flat out better versions. hexen quake one and two forsaken mission impossible nightmare creatures mortal combat. people will say it's better because it's like 12 percent crisper then the N64 but the smoothness and the solidity of the graphics for me is better, if anything it's a trade off.


>You seemed to miss Bloody Roar Extreme, for one.

ok that's one.

>Now tell me what's there to play on N64 besides the games from the three companies I mentioned and PS1/Saturn ports.

your not understanding why I'm setting those parameters. I'm not arguing as if the GameCube and N64 live in a vacuum only with each other. I'm arguing in the air that we all live in because that derives the true value and enjoyment of a console.

> see?

" s-see? I can make arbitrary parameters too, I can't think up any reasons for them but uh uh this is totally what you're doing"

I can't be bothered explaining why I removed the Nintendo games.

tldr the nintendo games on GameCube don't have mystical properties, the N64 does.

For me it's TOS. Not really a terribly sophisticated or ambitious game looking back on it as an adult but just so damn comfy. Say what you like about us zoomers who never grew up with the SNES or whatever but this was just so comfy. This and DQVIII and Code Geass made my childhood.

Young boys tend to worry about these things, it's not a big deal. Plenty of them actually enjoyed media with female protagonists, but they wouldn't admit it.
As an adult, it's also easy to realize that Japanese games with female protagonists already had males audiences in minds, and made sure both the gameplay and the heroines would be appealing to boys. That's why you were enjoying a game that was actually made for you.

not sure what your age is, but i can tell you that it had zero chance of success because the gamecube was long dead by the time it came out. i was a nintendo fantard and was exclusively DS while waiting on the "revolution" to come out later that year. i dont even remember any stores carrying this game except for GameStop and they had few copies.

Sure GC would have droughts for like 4 months, but at the end of the day its library still mogs pretty much all of the consoles that came after. I remember my PS3 would occasionally collect dust for more than a year inbetween major releases. And it hasn't gotten better. Modern consoles have horrible, horrible fucking droughts.

It’s not even the droughts that bother me. Modern Nintendo and related companies like Game Freak barely release anything worth playing.
