GameCube was the first console in the house that was actually MINE and not my sibling’s, and so it will forever be the best to me, especially with games like:
I’m sorry but when I hear Nintendo gamers talk about all their games it’s like
“I play a lot of different games like:
‑ Mario
‑ Mario
‑ Mario with a green hat
‑ Mario with boxing gloves
‑ Mario in a car”
😁
OK, but let’s be real, Nintendo isn’t competing on the strength of their hardware, its that they (used to) have IPs that slap. If I had a choice to play a 3rd party game on a Nintendo console or PC, I’m picking PC.
Nowadays, I am not a Nintendo fan. I don’t like their practices and either the IPs aren’t as good anymore or maybe I’ve aged out of the demographic, so I don’t really have a horse in the fight. But the point is, if you’re gaming on a Nintendo console, its probably because you’re playing a Nintendo IP.
I mean, they are different games with different mechanics.
Mario Tennis and Super Mario Bros are less similar to one another than Call of Duty and Battlefield, despite them being from the same publisher and having the same characters.
Dread was some of their finest work of all time and actually had me pretty excited for Prime 4. I haven’t played it yet, but reactions to MP4 have been… quite poor.
Is it really that bad? I know critics are prone to hyperbole, but even the regular people YouTube reviews have been pretty scathing.
Great game tbh. Very graphically forward for the time, and it is also short as well. The vibes are impeccable as well. It’s been a while since I’ve emulated it (2016), but I’m guessing it has gotten much better since then. (physical copy goes for above $60 today.)
One of the very few M rated GameCube games… and, as far as I know, has a unique core sanity mechanic that fairly routinely breaks the fourth wall, aimed at driving you, the player, at losing your own sanity, not merely depicting this happening to your character.
Also, IIRC, the first iteration of Pikmin, a genuienly novel kind of game. Luigi’s Mansion, also a pretty unique kind of game.
Oh, and they remade Metal Gear Solid on it, with better graphics than the PS1.

And others I’m surely forgetting

Better than Skyrim, Skyrim, Skyrim but it’s the same as Skyrim, and Skyrim
Haha so true.
Although looking at all the game announcements last week it felt like a lot of them were the same game, so a similar situation these days I think.

The Metroid Prime games were incredible. Also shout-out to Chibi Robo, I loved that game.
Metroid Prime was one of the most memorable games I played in my childhood, up there with ocarina of time and super Mario bros, imo.
Especially now with the new metroid shit show
God that’s so disappointing.

Honestly haven’t played it. I guess I will stick to the GameCube era, lol.
2 > 1
and I’m not apologizing. Magmoor caverns drags P1 down for me.
I also strongly preferred 2 over 1. Way more variety and interesting areas. And those suits were SO COOL
I have been looking for this game for at least a decade and I finally got a copy over the summer.
Roms exist
I know, but it was my white whale and I wanted to play it on the original hardware.
SD cards exist (and hardware mods)
Fair enough, it is definitely nice to have the original authentic experience.
Holy shit, I totally forgot about this game. Such a mind fuck.
God I miss Wind Waker. Still waiting for that HD remaster.
There is a Windwaker HD, so the HD HD remaster would be Windwaker 4K
Sunshine fucked so hard, I’m looking directly into your soul with that at the top of the list and let me tell you, I fucking see you dude.
And I love it.
My brother!
Wind Waker but no Twilight Princess? :o
I got it on Wii instead - it was basically the reason I purchased the Wii in the first place because I thought the game looked so cool.
It had such a unique atmosphere, I wish Nintendo had the balls to revisit something like that.
Metroid Prime, F-Zero GX, Phantasy Star Online, Sonic Adventure 2, Cubivore, Star Fox Adventures, Kirby Air Ride, Pikmin
Sorry for forgetting your namesake! I never had this one.

I cannot believe you’re omitting Tales of Symphonia!
