Bought a gamecube

[Nite_Hawk]

Hi guys,

Well, I finally broke down and my wife and I bought a gamecube (first console I've owned since an atari 7800). Seems like a pretty nice little unit. So far we only have the sonic megapack (7 genesis sonic games on one disc), and the Windwaker. Any advice on other cheap games that are good for the gamecube? The windwaker was pricey, but we got a discount for buying a >$30 game and the cube together, so it was worth it. I'm thinking of looking at the starwars game that came with it (probably should be able to get used for like $15), and maybe a couple of the other release games.

Btw, my wife is getting very addicted to the windwaker. Good game.

Run to Best Buy first and see if they have any of the cheap overstock sales left.

Yes indeed.

Metroid Prime, man! Metroid Prime.

One of the most atmospheric games I've ever played. Sound, music, level design... It's all incredible. The first few rooms are kind of so-so, but once you get to Chozo Ruins... MAN, that game just starts to rock!

Are any of those gamecube games at BB any good?

Hrm... You mainly want to peruse and see what they have. (I alsod on't know what other systems you have.)

BG&E is an excellent game if you don't have it (I picked it up the last time it was super-cheap at $10 ) and I think games like Dead to Rights, Godzilla, Gladius, I-Ninja, and Wario World would easily be worth the $5. Likely Sphinx, Freedom Fighters, and a number of others are worth it as well.

Probably won't have a huge selection at the Best Buy, though--you'll have to root around and guess.

Thanks for the tip about BB's sale! My son is a gamecube nut and some of those titles he's been wanting. (He just turned 7 yesterday, a lot of those titles are "hot" to him!)

(I braved the console forums twice in one day, and this time I even did it knowingly...I'm feeling extry brave today!)

 

[I.S.T.]

It isn't that bad.

Pikmin is an excellent game, and so is Viewtiful Joe! Both are now Players Choice titles so they should be cheap.

Get Super Mario Sunshine , best Jump n Run so far this gen.

I was at Walmart this morning and noticed Metroid Prime for $28.00 (Canadian).

SMS is a fun game, even I like it since it's so damned fluid and pretty!

Me and the wife were at Target and picked up a Sonic Collection for me son, is it any good? (He's got the newest one, but he's a huge Sonic freak....I'm so proud!!! )

 

[thop]

SMS is good, but basically just a beefed up SM64.

You might want to check Eternal Darkness (play that late at night ) and Skies Of Arcadia Legends (awesome RPG).
