Are there any games that were better on the Gamecube than the Xbox?

Luigi's Mansion.

You should have specified multi-plats. Some might say Soul Calibur just because it has Link. I'm not one of those people.

Supposedly the GameCube version of Sonic Heroes is better, never played the Xbox version so i can't confirm

Pac-Man World 2 for Gamecube has Pac-Man VS, Wrath of Cortex, and Rayman 3 have bonus minigames.
Mortal Kombat Deception, NBA Street V3, and SSX on Tour have exclusive characters.
You could argue Soul Calibur 2 for Link but I prefer Spawn and Heihachi.

Phantasy Star Online was far better on GameCube, there are a few other minor examples but nothing noteworthy. Yes, the Xbox was better for multiplats, but when it didn't have Resident Evil 4... does it really matter?

Gladius has the best version on Gamecube, since the ports for PS2/Xbox have worse load times. Other than that and a few other outliers, no.

[Anonymous No.7177451]

>>7177065
Speaking of load times, Turok Evolution on the gamecube runs at 60FPS (the mighty Xbox could only do 30), but the loading times are longer, the PS2 has the longest load times though. I'd even argue you're better off playing either console version as the PC version was not only limited release but also had its own share of problems.

[Anonymous No.7180437]

It's better in that the GCN version was least buggy, a product of the fact that GCN game development was easier than PS2 and Xbox development.

I was originally going to say >>7176004 but then I double checked and plus only exists because the original gamecube version was stupid easy to hack, its just the exact same game with better security and a few things that were online only can be done offline. xbox even has the four play offline splitscreen that I had thought was gamecube versions main advantage of the pc version

There are two Death Jam games on GameCube. And the GameCube version of FfNY is shit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Def_Jam:_Fight_for_NY#GameCube_version

Another drawback not mentioned there is having to use the godawful GameCube controller.

Because in determining which version of a game is the best, most people care more about how well the game runs and how good the game looks than whether or not one of the characters is a gay little elf boy.

[Anonymous No.7182810]

>>7182772
Considering they both run well and look great, for SCII it really comes down to content. The only outlier is the PS2 which is the worst version graphically.

In that case Xbox version is objectively still best since it has additional 720p mode. Exclusive characters are a matter of subjectivity.

[Anonymous No.7183696]

SCII on gc has better textures.

[Anonymous No.7183747]

>>7183649
>Except Link sucks in SCII
spawn is the worst of the console exclusive characters by far both tier wise and just to play because he was blatantly given a faction of the effort
>the Cube pad is retarded for fighters.
normally I'd agree but it works fine for soul calibur because of its good analog stick and face buttons. the original xbox controller had a kinda fucked up stick and buttons even if it has a (somewhat) better dpad. if we're basing this based on what has the best controller for fighting games ps2 takes it clean
>>7183649
>In that case Xbox version is objectively still best since it has additional 720p mode. Exclusive characters are a matter of subjectivity.
it's also subjective you'd have a tv that can output 720p in 2002 when the game came out, and this entire feature is trumped by dolphin emulator mods or just buying the HD re-release

[Anonymous No.7183804]

if we're talking about ultimate best versions? pretty much every gameube version is better than the xbox one because smash autism has made gamecube emulation exponentially better than the xbox

I'm told Budokai 3 looked best on the Gamecube. Not sure if that's true.

[Anonymous No.7184365]

>>7176029
The Gamecube port of Crash Wrath of Cortex is easily the worst despite any extra content with its constant dips to 30 fps
>>7183649
SC2's 720p is barely worth it when it forces a letterboxed 4:3, can't get this shit fullscreen on my CRT monitor through my OSD at all. I have to use an LCD and at that point I'd rather go back to 480p where the game actually supports widescreen properly.

[Anonymous No.7185192]

>>7177004
The original game is identical besides superior performance on the Xbox version. Xbox never did get Plus though, so there is that.

[Anonymous No.7185314]

>>7183747
Link is definitely lower tier than Spawn. In fact, Spawn is the only one that fits in. Link is garbage and Heihachi is broken.

But it's moot because the Xbox supports 1080i while the GCN can only do 480p.

I have those both as N64 on RGB-Pi/Retropie. Would they run better on the Wii?

>Would they run better on the Wii?
I'm not sure, actually. I've only ever played the GameCube versions, don't know how they compare to the N64 versions emulated. I guess at least on the Wii you get to use the GameCube controller and get the right button prompts, rather than the N64 prompts for whatever controller you're using with the pi.

[Anonymous No.7185834]

>>7185827
>>GameCube controller
That's a good point. As well as that, N64 emulation tends to be rubbish. Might as well grab the GameCube releases for when I get around to comparing. I've got well over 50 games now I think. Thanks again

There was an Ocarina + Ocarina Master Quest disc, which if I recall correctly I got as a pre-order bonus for Wind Waker, and there was also a "Collector's Edition" (gray cover) with NES Zelda I/II, (regular) Ocarina, and Majora's Mask. I don't remember where that came from, but back in the day I lucked into five (!) of them shrink-wrapped at a thrift store and still haven't opened one, so I didn't get one normally.

Don't play collectors edition. MM and OT both have worse framerates and problems with softlocking/crashing. It's a piece of shit.

>Don't play collectors edition.
Like I said, five copies, haven't even cracked the shrinkwrap, not worth the effort.
And on the subject of locking/crashing, don't play the GC version of Gauntlet Dark Legacy, it occasionally locks up on later levels. I was unhappy about this bitd, but at least it was cross-platform.

[Anonymous No.7186702]

>>7185797
>would they run better on wii?
Yes, there’s a loading screen every time you save on the GameCube ports, and the music is fucked up, but you can’t use the shard of agony because no rumble.

[Anonymous No.7186720]

Why is the GC in OP's picture squished? The Xbox looks fine so it's not like the image has been resized poorly. Whoever made the picture was competent enough to cut the consoles out of their original backgrounds and place them on the new background decently enough, they're even overlapping each other, but only the GC is squished for whatever reason, like it was on purpose. This is very odd.

[Anonymous No.7186883]

>>7184270
Certainly a dev action if true since the Xbox probably could have displayed a cel shaded turd like that in at least 720p.

[Anonymous No.7186954]

>>7185784
>Ocarina of Time and Majora's mask
OoT yes if you really want Master Quest, but stay away from Collector's Edition because MM emulation is horrible and prone to lock-ups at the worst time.
>Evolution worlds
Please get the Evolution games on Dreamcast instead, this is just an Evolution 2 port with heavily butchered Evolution 1 as the prologue.

Nope, especially considering playing on Xbox is like playing SC1 on Dreamcast with the exact same layout. And you're doubly retarded if you play fighting games with an analog stick.

I disagree. The xbox version had wayyyyy more quests, was able to be patched, required more than just an action replay to FSOD and NOL, had everything the GC version had PLUS voicechat if wanted. The only benefit to the gc version was that you didn’t need to pay for two subs to play online.
