When are they going to get to F-Zero GX? That's THE best cube game on the system. At least, for single player. That's right Metroid Primes. As much as I loved those games, F-Zero GX is still the game to beat. Let's declare the winner already.
Actually, F-Zero, Metroid Prime, SSBM, and Wind Waker haven't shown up yet. Maybe today? I wonder if Twilight Princess will get a nod?
I am glad to see Rogue Squadron get some recognition. It really is a great game. It's why I bought my cube and it's a series I hope is revived with the Wii. I still love flying around in the Battle of Endor, with the huge capitol ships turning around and waves of tie fighters swarming all around you. That's the best fight. Too bad the Millenium Falcon always controlled poorly.
Super Mario Sunshine. I'm in the love it camp. I agree that the blue coin hunt could be annoying. It was the first time I ever had to turn to a guide for a mario game. Spraying the moon at night on top of a golden mushroom? I would never think of that. The only camera issue I ever noticed was what KDR mentioned, the grate area in the amusement park. But, I still loved that game. I've played it through and beat it 100% like 5 or 6 times. In fact, it's been awhile since I last played. I may want to go through it again. It's funny, I'll visit my friends. They have Mario Sunshine but have never collected all the shines. So, I've put their copies in a few times and will immediately start getting a bunch of shines for them. I also loved the whole water backpack. I hated the personality and voice they gave it but I loved the mechanics.
Those quotes on Mario Sunshine puzzle me. The ending of the game never says anything about Mario's disappearence. Heck, how does he disappear? I was disappointed that there was nothing new shown after getting all 120 shines. That picture you see after beating the game for the first time with the magic paintbrush and El Piantisiammo (or what ever that runners name is), leads you to believe there is something else to the story or game but nothing ever comes of it. I always wondered if they took something out of the game.
