Nintendo Gaming / Gettin' Cube...finally! (Official "What game should I get?" Thread)

I have to agree.  I had a PS2 and got tired of the really crappy games they were putting out.  Sony definitely seemed to prefer quantity over quality.  So I trotted on down to my local Funcoland and traded it for a Gamecube.....one of the smartest decisions I've made in recent memory!

Be forewarned!  Animal Crossing is EXTREMELY addicting!  I work all day trying to pay off my mortgage and guess what?!?  I can't wait to get home to play Animal Crossing and pay off my house in the stupid game.  It's the video game version of Valium....very addicting and relaxing.  I like Pikmin for it's overall weirdness and that it's different, but Animal Crossing is the one that I keep going back to every single day.

Thanks for all the suggestions!  I'm about 2 hours into Eternal Darkness and had to quit last night because it was sorta spooking me.  It definitely plays with your mind like no other game I've seen....to say how would ruin it for others but I have to say DEFINITELY buy this game!!

Also...just an observation....coming from having a PS2 and about 40 games including every 'big' title....it may be just me but the Gamecube games (especially Metriod, Zelda Wind Waker, Eternal Darkness, Luigi's Mansion to name my favorites so far) all seem to hold my interest much better/longer than the PS2 games I had.  I still think the graphics are better and love those load times that are almost non-existent on the Gamecube.  

Based on everything I've read, tomorrow I'm getting Animal Crossing...can't wait!

I just sold my PS2 and bought a Gamecube.  I was really getting tired of the very poor quality of games coming out for the PS2.  And being a 40 yr old man who likes platform games I realize that I'm somewhat unusual.  But I decided to give the Gamecube a try......and sooooo glad I did!  I truly believe the graphics I've seen so far are much superior to anything on the PS2.  Here's the games I've bought and recommend so far (only had the Gamecube for 3 days now!):
1) Metroid Prime....blows away anything I had on PS2
2) Star Fox Adventures....okay, I really like it!
3) Super Mario Sunshine....wow!
4) Luigi's Mansion....again...love those graphics

My only disappointments are with Resident Evil & Godzilla.  I have never played it RE before and hate the controls.  Are the controls for Eternal Darkness the same?  Like Godzilla but have to admit that War of the Monsters on PS2 is a much superior game as far as graphics/control/arena size.
