Lets see, Fire Emblem, Mario Sunshine, Zelda Windwaker, Zelda Twilight Princess, PNO3, Skies of Arcadia, Billy Hatcher, Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door, Resident Evil, Metroid Prime

I got a few of those as gifts. Also got a Wavebird woo. I might get Bloody Roar for gamecube, that was a great version. Ill pass on CvsSNK2 since I have it for Dreamcast and the GC d-pad am ass.

I've wanted to try out Fire Emblem, PNO3, and Bill Hatcher. Are they good? I'm assuming FE is.

Wii plays em, doesn't matter it does something the other doesn't


Gamecube had a good catalog in it's lifetime, just the spread of software sucked at times.

Just the WII SUX SOMETIMES LOLOL

Im told FE is omg amazing, so I grabbed it. Kinda hard to find these days. PNO3 is a fun weird Capcom game, kinda like God Hand is a fun weird Capcom game. Billy Hatcher is a guilty pleasure, I dont know why I like it :(

Its so cheap anyway, why not try it out. The controls are a little janky but I think youre supposed to move her to beats or something abstract like that lol

I like the wavebird, I liked the wavebird the first time I owned a cube tho. The d-pad is shit tho, but most of the games I play require analog anyway :D

If I can find Killer 7 ON THE CHEAP, ill get it.

I don't think any EB/Gamestop sells K7 for more than $10 anymore. I know I saw a new copy of the PS2 version at that price recently. I'm guessing that the GC version costs the same.

Who doesnt like the Gamecube controller? Its so ergonomic! Its amazing. The only downfall is the lame Z button and the tiny D-pad, which only anoyed me in Tony hawk.

Gamecube is cool for the 10 games I own. It took 5 years to become cool. Kinda sad.

God fucking dammit MAF you're going to make me buy a used Gamecube; I want Zelda

My brothers still have our Gamecube I can't have it until they get a Wii. Might just wait. I want Zelda...but I'm not absolutely dying to play it anymore. WoW and Wolfenstein ET may be all I need

6 face button game pad :bow

plus start button right next to left thumb :bow

BEST CONTROLLER EVER
Title: Re: Nintendo Gamecube is currently a better console purchase than the PS3 and Wi
Post by: Himu on January 04, 2007, 08:42:04 PM
Why is it that when consoles die they suddenly get so much love?

"Fuck. WHERE ARE THE GAMES NINTENDO??"

"wow gamecube is awesome beter purchase than ps3 or wii lol"

I agree with FlameOfCallandor, too. The best traditional controller I've used. So smooth. Love the button layout. Kidney buttons rule.

Because you Nfucks are the same mother fuckers who made fun of me and every Genesis owner if they didn't have a Super Nintendo back in the day (despite the fact we all wanted one with our Genny too), and now that Sega is dead as a hardware supplier and their games appear on Nintendo consoles, you fegs get uppity and giggly as if you ever cared in the first place. OMG GUNSTAR HEROES ON VC I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO PLAY THIS GAME when you ignored it when it came out since you were playing shitty Donkye Kong Country. The only reason you idiots suddenly got interested in Ristar and Gunstar is because they're on Nintendo Wii.

I swear, you Nfucks deserve the shitting on the Gamecube.

Ok ok, gamecrazy had a 2 free for price of 2 sale so I grabbed:

Killer 7, Resident Evil Zero, Soul Reaver 2, Legacy of Kain: Defiance.

They were obviously the bargin bin games, but I got all 4 for 30 dollars. AWESOME

Killer 7 is really cool once you get past the gameplay.

Haha, Drinky said almost the same thing when i told him I picked it up.

"Yeah the gameplay is dumb but I liked the story"

The gameplay is AWESOME. I don't understand it! How can people say Killer 7 has bad gameplay? OH NO IT'S ON RAILS when the gameplay does the same thing it would have if it wasn't on rails. It's just you can't walk any where you want!

Killer 7 wouldn't be as bad if you didn't have to constantly scan for enemies.

I'm thinking about getting a Gamecube simply because it's so cheap now, and for the handful of games I can't play on other systems.  I'd be pretty safe buying a used one, right?  I mean, it's got a reputation for being fairly indestructable, doesn't it?

I love the Gamcube. Its pretty much the only console I played for a couple of years after my PS2 broke.

Metroid Prime was the most refreshing, exciting game I had played in years. Zelda WW was a really fun adventure, Paper Mario is one incerdible RPG and Resident Evil 4 really raised the bar for action games.

Gamecube is a GREAT buy right now, and a used one is even better cause how many gamecubes went bad, its old tech but its proven tech lol.

It sits next to my ps2 with its library of 12 whole games lol. To be fair it'll be 13/14 if I find the other ones I want. My ps2 library dwarfs the fuck out of it, 360 is almost even with it after a year lol.
