If your just getting a gamecube right now, go with metroid prime and wind waker as your very first two games for it. If you already have gamecube (which most, if not almost all of you do), go with Starcraft ghost and metroid prime 2 when it comes out. That's my suggestion.

Mario Sunshine is also a good game. I enjoyed it a lot. That was the uhhhh, second game I had ever gotten, I think. I was very happy with it too. Maybe you should get that game. But it depends what kind of game you like. I would really suggest WW though, it was a great game. I would suggest renting one...but that would be kind of pointless since you dont have a cube yet...so I would get WW.

Do you or have you had a N64? Because if you have tried OoT, and liked it, WW is just as good. Just kind of a little too easy for my tastes.

PEASE ANSWER ME

Ok, I'm 16 got a licsense, and want a gaming system, for when friends come over and crap or when I get bored. My Fam-lay doesn't have too much money So I put the Gamecube with free 4 game zelda disk for 99.99 on my list. I'm starting to think its a bad idea. How come You can't play games like madden 2004, nba live 2004 online? Without being able to play online, gamecube will never be successful in my opinion.. I mean a link to the past is fun but, the fun can only last so long when I want to go online and play a dude from hong kong 1 on 1. Gamecube has lots of great games but i wanna open up fire on citizens like on vice city, or like i said, play online with madden.... I used to have a ps2 and do it but I sold it due to money problems. I was told I would get a response here so plmk.

Trevor

Okay edit: Just found out THE BEST ZELDA I DONT CARE WHAT YOU SAY A link to the past is NOT on the disk. News gets worse and worse..

Molobert · « **Reply #378 on:** December 05, 2003, 05:21:43 PM »

-Link to the Past isn't on it, because it can be played through the Game Boy Player (which is awesome).
-If you're looking specifically for online and you must have it, you should probably get an Xbox, which supposedly has good online sports games and such.
-Gamecube doesn't have much in the way of "hella kewl" GTA-type games or sports games, however it still has a ton of other good games. For example: Mario Kart, Zelda, Metroid Prime, Super Mario Sunshine, Eternal Darkness, Resident Evil, Viewtiful Joe, F-Zero, Super Monkey Ball, etc. etc.

What an ironic statement...Online gaming for consoles has a loooooong way to go before it can be even considered a "success"...

treleung · « **Reply #380 on:** December 05, 2003, 05:52:00 PM »

I'd say its a success already, If gamecube had online capability I don't think it would be 99.99 right now. Like I said in my post, I can't go for the xbox this isn't my money its my mothers and she doesnt have enough to get a ps2 or xbox.

Trevor

To tell you the truth the main reason I wanted a gamecube is to get a link to the past. I have it on my computer (Dont tell anyone) lmao, but I've never actually played any other zeldas other then the original and a link to the past, I grew up on a link to the past and snes I remember back to the nes but it was near the end of its life. Are the other zeldas on the sample disc even comparable to a link to the past?

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #381 on:** December 05, 2003, 06:00:50 PM »

Please elaborate on how online capabilities sell consoles...Right now, console gamers playing online is at such an incredibly low number right now, and that's most likely something Ninty has seen...Look at Xbox Live...Such a small percentage of Xbox owners are subscribed to it that Microsoft has dropped the price/given away free kits/free first month of Live, etc...(I own an Xbox, and there is no way I am going to spend money to play games with strangers when I can play them for free with friends

)

Online just isn't successful right now, and having it definitely does NOT have anything to do with user base...

HAHAHA,thanks for helping me guys,i looked on the internet and my mom is letting me get 3 games,in the order i want them

treleung · « **Reply #383 on:** December 05, 2003, 08:47:17 PM »

And a crap load of people just bought an xbox and let it sit, just like the ps2. Now, is there anyone that can help me?

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #384 on:** December 05, 2003, 08:51:10 PM »

Well if you want games like Vice City, then you are completely out of luck...

As for the bonus disc...Every Zelda game is a classic, so there's nothing to fear...

Hose1981 · « **Reply #385 on:** December 06, 2003, 03:01:19 AM »

I'm thinking of getting a GameCube for Xmas, but I am reluctant because I'm not sure about the games...
I know there are great games currently available, Metroid, Zelda etc. but what about the future...?
I mean Zelda rocks but everybody knows DOOM 3 will bring a revolution.
Will legend-games like DOOM 3, Halflife 2, Metal Gear Solid 3, Splinter Cell 2 be available for GameCube?
Both DOOM 3 and Halflife 2 are already scheduled for an XBOX release, PS2 probably too.

The console's price is great, the games are cheap, so it's not a question of money, but of game availability.

I would really appreciate your advice on the matter.

Best regards, Hose.

ghostVi · « **Reply #386 on:** December 06, 2003, 08:41:33 AM »

DOOM 3, Halflife 2 : not on GC, but might be on GC2; MGS3, SC2 - don't know, but hey you've got to love or hate a SK production (MGS:TT, it's GC-only)... talking about revolutions - GC shows the most of it IMO this gen, but that's in term of gameplay, not graphics, you have to decide for yourself what's more important... that's not like not being good in the graphics department, on the contrary, but it's just not Nintendo's main focus. RE4 will be huge, if you haven't already done so - go check out some videos and screenshots

fyi doom3 is not going to ps2, and hl2 will probably come out for gc2/ps3...

Aside from the games you mentioned there is lots more (GC-only) in the GC's bright and shiny future... games like killer 7, metroid prime 2, zelda: ww 2, game zero, unity, baten kaitos (US), tales of symphonia (US), mgs:tt, re4 and more.... all of them are promising titles, so I'd say you don't have to worry about it.

Edit: best case scenario would be getting both a powerfull PC, and a GC, if you can afford them. PC is the primary and prefered platform for d3 and hl2 IMO

phatboy · « **Reply #387 on:** December 06, 2003, 09:28:01 AM »

Is the new mario kart any good? (sorry I forgot what it's name is) I'm not sure if it will be any good with the two people idea...I'm going to rent it, but if it's stupid please tell me now and save me the trouble of renting it and paying 5 friggin bucks for it.

Edit: Now I remember! Mario Kart Double Dash

I think I'm going to rent it, I just asked my friend and he said it was awsome so thanks anyway.

treleung · « **Reply #388 on:** December 06, 2003, 11:06:55 AM »

Does gc2 stand for game cube 2? When does that come out?

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #389 on:** December 06, 2003, 05:00:27 PM »

Not for a very long time...

treleung · « **Reply #390 on:** December 06, 2003, 10:09:36 PM »

That is sooo true

P.S sssooooo true mate

ghostVi · « **Reply #394 on:** December 08, 2003, 02:03:29 AM »

I second that, zelda pack would be the choice..... you can (and probably will) get WW later anyway

Smashman · « **Reply #395 on:** December 08, 2003, 12:12:15 PM »

A fresh, brand new GameCube, with Zelda Collector's Edition. Games are Viewtiful Joe, Mario Kart: Double Dash, The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, and possibly James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing will ascend me into Gaming Heaven.

I would have to disagree with everyone. I would get the gamecube with windwaker because for 100.00 you can get gamecube, windwaker, nintendo power, and the collectors disk(80.00 for gamecube and WW + 20.00 for NP subscription). Or if you plan on getting any of the games that you can register anyway go for getting windwaker for free.

After playing Price of Persia last night I must say "IT IS A MUST HAVE" what a balst

Majexto · « **Reply #398 on:** December 15, 2003, 08:10:55 AM »

Why is it that alot of the games people are worried about the Edit- XBOX having are on PC also. If there so worried just make there pc a little better so they can play them on it and still have the joy of GC games. just my advice.

Edit- oops just read someones last end of a post I missed before and they said almost the exact same thing. Sorry guys

Another edit lol, sorry, as i said in another post im sick so im not really with it...

Smashman · « **Reply #399 on:** December 15, 2003, 08:54:16 AM »

Majexto- WTF? I think you must mean X-Box!
