Top Ten GameCube Games

Posted on by

GameCube games? Who cares, right? Wrong! The GameCube was awesome, and despite it’s lackluster performance on the sales charts, it was probably the console that I put the most time into during the past generation. Since the Wii is fully backwards compatible with all GameCube software, now is a great time to grab some of the GameCube classics. So, here are my personal top ten games that were released for the Nintendo GameCube (you’ll notice I cheat the total a bit, deal with it).

  • Metroid Prime 1 & 2
  • Super Mario Sunshine
  • Resident Evil 4
  • Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
  • Pikmin 1 & 2
  • F-Zero GX
  • Animal Crossing
  • Eternal Darkness
  • Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
  • Beyond Good and Evil

Funny enough, picking a top ten for the GameCube was actually harder for me than picking a top ten for either the PS2 or Xbox. I’ll share those lists at some point down the line. I fully expect all of you to be waiting with the highest degree of anticipation.

    This is not a joke.

    I forgot a lot of games, actually. Notice that there’s no Super Smash Bros. Melee, no Twilight Princess (only because I can count it as a Wii title), no Ikaruga, no Paper Mario, and many more. The GameCube actually had quite an amazing lineup. It didn’t have as many good games as the PS2 did, but I think it had just as many great games (if not more).

    9/12 (75%) are first- or second-party titles. That number becomes even more disappointing when you add in the other titles mentioned in the comments. Over half were produced by Miyamoto. No wonder Nintendo has been a Mii parade of nearly-identical sequels for the past decade.
