Each month Nintendo will make up a new quest (very small when compared to Prime) that will be available to download(somewhere??) or required directly on the server (BB only). Anyways, each new quest will have a briefing detailing the main objective ( of course all cool and futuristic like) and VOLA! Metriod is online. Stats could be shown of who beat the game the fastest and with the most % completion.
You guys have any ideas...they don't have to be spin-offs from games

Not really online, but release the mini screans and enable plug and play LAN access.

I'm just joking around. I like you ideas for an Online Metroid, but where would you keep your data? GameCube doesn't have a hard drive. Would Nintendo make special memory cards?
EDIT: Just thought I'd let eveyone know that I'm leaving on a trip soon and won't be visiting the forums until next Wednesday. See you in a week!

but actually id like to see Sega use their knowledge of PSO and make Skies of Arcadia Online. It would be a great game to take online. Imagine people going to the guilds to try to take the secret information before other pirates. It would be awesome!

Metroid, though... Metroid games usually have you stranded alone on an alien world. You could download missions, sure, but they'd be extra - they wouldn't fit into the main game, and the great thing about Metroid games is how everything fits together. On an add-on mission, you would probably just have an action sequence, and any power-ups would only help on that one mission.

I think the only games that are worthwhile to play online are games where it's really obvious you're playing against humans. Otherwise, it's just like you're playing against bots who use profanity. I think Advance Wars would make an interesting online offering. Any game where a player's personality comes through in their play style would work well. Racing games would not. Sports games mostly would not. Strategy games, that's where it's at, man.
I know this sounds stupid, but I think some type of online gambling game where you play for, I dunno, online time/credit might be... well, addictive, if somewhat shady..
Well, one cool online feature could be to let people trade gamesaves (anyone remember the dexdrive?), or trade downloadable mini-games a la Animal Crossing.
Hell, while I dreaming out loud... it would be awesome if there were some "game-maker" type software (like Fighter Maker for PS2) that let you make your own games which you could then share with the world. "MAKE YOUR GAMING DEBUT ON THE GAMECUBE NETWORK." Now that's a network I would call "DREAM ROAD". Or at the very least, it could let you download new textures, new sample/template characters, new music, etc.. Hell, even a BeatMania type game (a "music creater/mixer" type game, big in Europe, I think) that let you send your tracks to others, download new sound samples, instruments, etc.. Imagine competitions for where the winner could get his music incorporated into an actual game--maybe as the intro song, or a sample song, in the next Beatmania title.
And, of course, people could upload or download new levels made using the Level Editors which are included with many games (THPS, Timesplitters 2?, etc)

A Grand Theft Auto cross-platform MMORPG. Think about it. When you start up each time, you could choose to be a thug, gang member, pedestrian, cop, paramedic, etc... and go around town and interact with other online players. That would be a great game.

you would be able to create your own dungeons like Neverwinter nights
and you can choose races Kokiri, hylian, zora, goron, guerudo
and you could visit all the places in the zelda universe like termina hyrule death mt.
and other places.

One - A full out Wars game made specifically for te GameCube. Great graphics, great gameplay, items, buildings and whatnot, and most importantly a robust and entertaining online multiplayer option. I can just imagine and huge 3D world, tons of levels, units, extras and such, and then taking that online to battle others would be great. I'd spend a great deal of time playing it, if it weren't nonexistant.
Two - This could be used with any type of game. The ability to use a device or cable through one of the GCN high-speed ports to connect with a PC or Mac (preferably both) which allows you to create levels, items, and characters to add with a game (a la NeverWinter Nights). You could then store them on the PC or Mac hard drive, and load it into the game's RAM whenever you want to play it. This could be used with anything, even to make your own games (though they may be small). Sort of like a $50 or $100 version of a debug kit.

i would love to see super mario brothers online
now before you say it cant happen think about it
i could be up to four people online with different mario characters going through a side scrolling game
i could work like the 2 player modes in mario brothers 3 or mario world
of course i dont think it could happen but it would be cool if it did

1) Your ONLINE PC carries with him a GBA and links together to use the pokemon you allready have, in a more complex battle scheme.
2)it is a new game completely, where when you fight, you actually control you pokemon and you can program your attacks. Say B could be like a jump, A, X, Y, R could all be where you set your 4 attack moves to, and Z could open your items menu, usuable only in random battles, or in a set amount of timeouts in duals with other players.
A PSO-esque character design could be incorparated, but make the characters pokemon-ish. The best thing would be a team up option where you could adventure with a group and be told when one of them has come online. Of course part of the fun would be waiting for boats to arrive, going through the gyms, exploring the caves........... BUT MOST IMPORTANT, SEEING ALL THE POKEMON. I truly believe that this would be a memorable experience in gaming and be the most addictive online game Nintendo could release.
Oh yeah, speacial Event Matches could be held to for prize money. I like idea 2 better, but i thik the N will probably go with 1
