More than two decades ago, back in the distant year of 2001, Nintendo released the GameCube, a small purple console that they believed would take the world by storm. While the GameCube faced the stiff competition of the first Xbox and the titanic PlayStation 2, it still carved out an incredible library of games, with new installments in existing franchises, stellar remakes and ports, and of course some brand new IPs ready to take the gaming world by storm. Whittling down such a mighty catalog to only the upper echelon wasn’t easy, but here are the best GameCube games ever made.

    How is Luigi’s Mansion missing? I own a game shop and I’ve had thousands of customers ask if we have it in stock. I’ve had ZERO customers ask about Hulk, Beyond Good & Evil, or Eternal Darkness.
  • @bodacious117
    Twilight princess at 14 is absolutely criminal
  • @Donald43
    Pokémon Colosseum and XD Gale of Darkness both deserve a mention.
  • @bifftannen1598
    Should always have an honorable mention category. Soul Caliber 2, Timesplitters 2 & Star Wars: Rogue Squadron 2: Rogue Leader come to mind
  • @michaelwhite3640
    With Metal Gear Solid The Twin Snakes if you have Super Mario Sunshine and Legend Of Zelda Wind Waker files on your memory card a character in that game mentions Mario and Zelda games
  • @mattpare8164
    I truly feel that tales of Symphonia, star fox adventures, and lost kingdoms should have made it to the list!
  • @ThallFather
    Got a backwards compatible Wii coming in tomorrow and I'm so excited. Never had the chance to own a GameCube when I was growing up.
  • @andreweilermusic
    Wind Waker is my #1 as well. Such a classic adventure worth experiencing.
  • @Sliider36
    still my favorite console of all-time. and as a retro collector, this is mostly due to its insanely high quality & unique library of games. but also that brilliant GC controller, perfecto. and my favorite game in this legendary catalog of gaming greatness? Tales of Symphonia... which somehow didnt even make your list? wth? 😂
  • @loveistruth5713
    How did you not include SS tricky. Not only was it a ground breaking and innovative it was the most incredible 3D game I've ever played along with a great soundtrack and characters✌️

    Need for speed underground 2 gamecube was a testament to the gc power
  • I was an early adopter of the Gamecube, and have most of what folks would want, even the dumb stuff like Cubivore, GoGo Hypergrind, etc. It was a distant third in its generation for me. Dreamcast won me over, and nothing else captured my imagination at the time like it did. PS2 came in second for me, largely on the backs of great arcade compilations and Japanese 2D shooter ports. I play my Gamecube more than my original Xbox, though. Eternal Darkness keeps me coming back more than anything else. Luigi's Mansion is fun to revisit, and my wife prefers the GC version of Ribbit King over the PS2 because the power meter moves more smoothly. Skies of Arcadia, though... that has to be done on Dreamcast. I don't care about added content; it's just not Skies of Arcadia until you've played Pinta on you VMU on your lunch break at work.

    metroid prime should be number 1 =D and i really miss the resident evil remake. best horrorgame ever made.
  • Fire Emblem is the game currently in my Gamecube for a replay hahaha. I also think Tales of Symphonia is up there as well. :D
  • @phazongroove
    What happen to Metroid Prime 2? Soul Calibur 2?
  • @helgesonwa
    Lord Of The Rings: The Third Age was one of my favorites. As well as one of the last true turn biased combat games I can think of.
