Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "Last week we reported on a rumor that Nintendo might be considering to bring back the GameCube in the form of a Classic Edition to join the NES & SNES (and the presumed, eventual N64) mini consoles. This got our minds racing as to what games Nintendo could include on the micro version of everyone’s favorite purple lunch box. Many have fond memories of booting up their GameCubes, listening to the jingle and diving into hours and hours of fun with Mario, Link, Captain Olimar and everyone else whose games made it onto the console. So like we explored with the Game Boy, SNES and N64, we’ll be looking at the perfect games that could be installed on the system. "
Relive the golden age of gaming with these timeless video games. From Wind Waker to Monkey Island, get ready for a nostalgia-filled ride.
I'd put Street Fighter 2 over 3. 2 and all its different versions dominated the arcade scene back in the day in a way that 3 never did.
Agreed, Same with Metal Gear Solid imo. Came for Bioshock and was not disappointed. Would easily put Burger Time or Space Taxi over tempest. Also, OG Sim City and Oregon Trail. Mario 64 as well. Just too many!
Me too. I didn't have a GC until way later and never played it. I've been waiting on Nintendo to release the HD edition on the Switch for forever, but they just won't!
I never bought a Gamecube, I've always had an urge to play this game, maybe it'll get a remaster in the future.
I played it on WiiU for the first time and it remains my fave Zelda game to date. So much character and a real sense of exploration without the open world bloat.
Ms Pacman?
Robotron?
SSF2 Turbo over 3 simply by the 10000000000's ports of the game we're still having
Castlevania SOTN?
Zelda Link to the Past over Wind Waker
Super Mario Bros 3?
Chrono Trigger?
Resident evil4?
COD MW2 (the original)?
Uncharted 2
Metal Gear Solid?
Here's my reasoning for all of them versus the list proposed in the article.
They are still quite enjoyable from start to finish on their original platform, unlike some Wind Waker or Okami that are fun when you play the remastered version (unless you call: forced to watch a 20-minute cutscene or have to blow for wind chance constantly fun).
Some of them are the pinnacle of what the console could do (MGS, Chrono, MGS)
Lots of them are still considered the go-to-go game for their genre.
Battalion Wars is one of the most under-appreciated classics from the Nintendo GameCube. Part Splatoon, part Mario Kart, part old-school shooter, and all action, this game is fun and strategic. So now that we’ve had Advance Wars remastered, it’s time for Battalion Wars 1+2 on the Nintendo Switch with the following updated features.
The memories. Totally forgot about those games but I remember how fun they were.
I was just bringing this game up to a friend recently. He used to play them so much.
Debuting back in 2005, it's been nearly two decades since we had a new Battalion Wars game. Now is the time, Nintendo.
Eternal Darkness, Luigi's Mansion, Mortal Kombat, Freedom Fighters, StarWars Rogue Squadron, Resident Evil 0, Resident Evil Remaster, Resident Evil 4, Metal Gear Solid Twin Snakes, Mario Sunshine just to name a few.
But you're missing some titles... Eternal Darkness, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Star Wars: Rouge Leader, Resident Evil remake, Metal Gear Solid Twin Snakes, Beyond Good and Evil, Timesplitters 2 (or 3), Resident Evil 4, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time.
someone, please, show Geist some love.
and Rogue Squadron II while we're at it
M rated games would be odd to include since a lot of 'younger' players (see parents) might not want them as part of the package.
