The Perfect 20 Games for the GameCube Classic Edition

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. "

someone, please, show Geist some love.

and Rogue Squadron II while we're at it

O-D-C2488d ago

Rogue Squadron II is one of my favorite games of all time! Absolutely needs more love!

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.

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.

Abear21551d ago

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!

Never played it I gotta get on this one

Double_O_Revan551d ago

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!

FinalFantasyFanatic550d ago

I never bought a Gamecube, I've always had an urge to play this game, maybe it'll get a remaster in the future.

LoveSpuds550d ago

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.

Petebloodyonion551d ago

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.

Said it before but Heart of Darkness is truly a timeless gem.
