I feel the same way lately about some of my gaming from childhood!!! I'm glad I'm not alone. Mine is for the N64 and luckily I'm almost finished with collecting all the games I loved. You can use Nostalgia to realize that good times like those can still happen now! and be created now! The world wasn't always simple, we just lived more simply. We can still do that. We can choose a peaceful life.
I know that same feeling, I can’t go back either, I tried going back a year ago and it just doesn’t do it for me, it makes me depressed too, now It just sits in box after wasting 64$ trying to go back. It’s never been a success, nobody bought the console, anyone in school never heard of it, so yeah I know the feeling.
sunsbookishgamesx same. I haven't been able to play gamecube games because i didn't own one when i was a kid. I also wanna play Windwaker so bad so i'm really hoping they port the HD version on the switch. (we didn't actually own any consoles except for gameboy and xbox *which we got when i was almost done with gradeschool)
Alfonso Maesa well good luck getting one now. I'm pretty sure you can get a GameCube for a reasonable price but the games are pretty expensive. Many decent games going for $100+
F-Zero GX is still one of my favorite games of all time. The speed, controls, music and rather sharp graphics (which still are great for the style) are just incredible. I couldn't believe when I found out it was a commercial bomb, because my friends and I all played it so much and loved it at the time. Really hoping for a re-release of this and Metroid Prime Trilogy on the Switch at some point.
F-Zero GX was the most rewarding game on the gamecube. It's the game that made me feel the proudest to beat it! It took every braincell on high alert to beat those later stages

@@thebutcher1412 yeah I'm lucky enough to live in the suburbs where there are lots of rummage sales, but I don't take advantage of the possibilitys. Good luck finding one.👍
You won’t regret it. Lots of great games on that system. I’ve had one since launch day and it’s been in use ever since. My only system from that gen that has a permanent place under the tv. If you can find Skies Of Arcadia Legends for a price you can afford buy it!
Guys, stop saying that a game should be higher up on the list, since this list just says the games in a random order. And while I’ve got your attention, Wario World should be on the list.
I saved half my lunch money every day for a month to buy Metroid Prime after seem it in ONM. Still own it today, and it's my favourite game purchase of all time. Helps that it's also such a bloody great game!
I agree with most, but... Where was Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, possibly the nearest a spin-off has got to recreating the feel of the main series games, and refining everything Colosseum set down for the Gamecube games. The idea of Shadow Pokémon got expanded in this game, with Shadow pretty much becoming its own move type considering the expanded Shadow move list. Yeah, it might not have been for everyone, but it was undeniably a good game.
i was looking for this comment, it’s one of my favorite games of all time. i replayed it a few years ago and it still held up to the original magic from my childhood
One huge negative to every Soul Calibur after the original was the format or lack of Team Battles. Once you got hooked on 8v8 random against your friend that was in the first, not having 8v8 was a huge letdown in the sequels :(
My 2 cents: I think RE4 is in fact the best Gamecube game. It was insane how it combined action with world building and fun. MP is however a close second. MP2 is not as good and it takes a while to get into, but man, when it has found its momentum it's better than the first one. Too bad Viewtiful Joe is missing.
I've actually stated I would have been fine if RE4 was number 2, but that Number 4, despite the irony, is just not acceptable due to how influential RE4 is. The reason I can accept it at #2 is that Metroid Prime exists and is the only real contender for the crown.
Can’t believe how many of these games I owned but back then games didn’t come out as frequently as they do now, Metroid, Eternal Darkness and Time Splitters were my favorites I loved Turok as well but the loading times on that game were crazy long thanx for the stroll down memory lane
Had the GC on release and had 15 games from this list. I loved Rogue Squadron as well! It's time they brought some of these games to a modern system. It's my favourite looking ninty system and the games still loolk fantastic to me. Classic.
It's possibly the most disappointing game of all time for me. I was so hyped for it, picked it up, and after a few hours I already knew that I wasn't going to like it. Still finished it, but meh. That was not a good Christmas.
I know in a Starfox series point of view, it’s an awful Starfox game. But for me, who loves Zelda, it was like a Starfox Zelda so to this day absolutely love it and play it
I love that game and I think they could have taken away the multiplatform games and stick with just exclusives, even if the exclisive was a short time exclusive like RE4 and Tales
I agree with your #1 pick. Metroid Prime is an unbelievably fun and well- made game. One of the few games I feel confident saying they "did everything right". I am currently barreling through Prime 2, i never played it back in the day but picked up a copy recently
For me personally there’d have to be room for: 1. XII (one of the best FPS ever with the closest thing to a modern Goldeneye multiplayer). 2. Pac Man World 2: Great graphics, brilliant fun, takes some of the best aspects of Mario 64. 3. Wario Ware (amazing multiplayer). 4. Serious Sam: Next Encounter (great fun, doesn’t take itself seriously, pick up and play!)
I’m not sure why this was recommended to me; I’ve not watched an nl video in a bit, but hearing that “hey there lovey people” is surprisingly comforting
I still regret selling my copy of this game a couple years ago (and very cheap compared to what people try to sell it for this days). One of my favorite games ever
The Gamecube is my favorite console, this is a great list! but you still missed some of my favorites: Path of Radiance, Baten Kaitos series, the Prince of Persia games, the Pokémon games, Mario Strikers, etc.
Both Pokémon Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness are worth a mention. Seeing Pokémon in 3D on the big screen was great, especially when connecting the GBA games in battle mode (the fact that you could use your GBA as another controller speaks for itself) and battling your friends. But overall the story mode being totally different than you typical expect of Pokémon.
I'm guessing the folks who put this together are not a big fan of JRPGs are they? Seriously no Tales of Symphonia, Fire Emblem Path of Radiance, Skies of Arcadia Legends and Baten Kaitos?
Baten Kaitos? Tales of Symphonia? Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles? Skies of Arcadia: Legends? Fire Emblem? COME ON! The Gamecube had some of the greatest RPG's of a generation and you fail to even mention one
Mario Sunshine was always my favorite Mario. I was super excited to play Odyssey but I think I mentally over hyped it. It wasn't as good as I expected. And I also got a little annoyed how much everyone loves Odyssey but didn't love Sunshine. This may sound strange but I view Odyssey as a sequel to Sunshine BECAUSE you have normal Mario moves and a "weapon" for competing tasks. It felt like an extension of the Sunshine play style to me.
Odyssey is just more polished and capitalizes on its ideas a bit more. It’s also a much meatier experience. That said, Sunshine is unparalleled when it comes to how liberating its controls are, how strong its art direction is, and how thick and effective its sense of atmosphere is. Sunshine should’ve been much higher on the list, if not the top spot, but I guess this guy didn’t enjoy it as much.
My too favorite games listed: 1. Wind waker 2.def Jam fight for NY. 3.metriod prime. 4. Mario kart double dash 5. Twilight princess Games I left out. Sun shine, true crime, etc.
Such good times with this console. I never even care if it was cool or not...I loved it. Every game was such a quantifiably major step up from what came before it. Controls were tight, graphics cleaning up big time, inventive stories and mechanics...just all around magic. Thanks for including Eternal Darkness. Nobody ever does. Lol. You def forgot Pikmin though.
Great list but you definitely left out Tales of Symphonia. To have such and amazing, Japanesey RPG on the GameCube after the N64's role-playing drought blew my mind. It's one of my favorite games ever and certainly still the best in the series.
Manuel Villalobos Acuña I would have added Ikaruga (one of the best Shoot 'm Ups I've ever played), Tales of Symphonia, Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, Baten Kaitos Origins, Skies of Arcadia Legends, Chibi-Robo, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and Star Wars Rogue Leader: Rogue Squadron II to the list.
Gamecube was such a unique console, I remember everyone's faces including mines when we saw the disc size lol. The modern times are nice but the OG classics will always have a special place in my heart.
Clearly Missing: Baten Kaitos Skies of Arcadia Tales of Symphonia Viewtiful Joe And the best Soccer game in history of mankind, the one and only GotGc contender: Super Mario Strikers aka Super Mario Smash Football
Ikaruga, Killer 7... The Gamecube had a bunch of great games. Also I would have preferred RE:0 to be on the list, simply because it was a Gamecube exclusive. And yes, I know that the version of RE:4 was the best one out until it got remastered (the PS2 version was just bad and the PC version was a crappy port of the PS2 one), but still.
Baten Kaitos games are amazing, they just rarely receive critical acclaim as they can be bland and cookie cutter at times for a JRPG, such as in plot, dialogue, and voice acting. Ive beaten both games though and the card mechanic and the combos really are what make the games fun and unique
Wow, I’m really amazed at the wonkiness of this list. Some surprising but deserved inclusions like Beyond Good & Evil but totally missing an entry like Star Wars Rogue Leader which was an incredible flight sim.
+Colton Zuspan Just download the ISO and play it on dolphin emulator or a homebrewed Wii. No point paying some schmuck $80+ for his copy when Nintendo isn't getting a cent of that money.
Star fox assault, Battalion Wars 1, and Pokemon Colosseum should have been honorable mentions (but wait, there was not an "honorable mentions"category included within the video!?) 😅
I know I'm 2 years late, but I'd also add Viewtiful Joe, Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, Battalion Wars, and Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time to the list of honorable mentions.
I definitely agree. Best RPG on the system, and one of the best RPGs of all time in my opinion. It is just such a phenomenal game. I would even put it above melee.
I love that Metroid promised the top of your list oh, it's so strange that such a great and beloved Nintendo game is still very very cheap so if you don't have this game pick it up!
Metroid Prime is still in my top 3 of all time. Together with Dark Souls and Beyond Good and Evil. They just stuck with me the most due to their unique style.
I would have added Ikaruga (one of the best Shoot 'm Ups I've ever played), Tales of Symphonia, Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, Baten Kaitos Origins, Skies of Arcadia Legends, Chibi-Robo, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and Star Wars Rogue Leader: Rogue Squadron II to the list.
I have four of these games :D (Tony Hawk, Pikmin 2, Animal Crossing and Super Mario Sunshine) Gamecube has got to be my favorite system of all time My favorites are Air Ride, Animal Crossing, Pikmin 1/2, Pacman 2 and Chibi Robo
feels wrong to not mention Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, Tales of Symphonia, Chibi-Robo, Custom Robo, P.N.03, Viewtiful Joe 1 & 2, Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, Skies of Arcadia Legends, Pokemon Colosseum & XD, Star Wars: Rogue Squadron 2, Star Fox Assault or Wario World......but then I legit can't do classic RE tank controls, never got into Monkey Ball, and *gasp* never played the Burnout or Timesplitters entries ( played the 3rd Timesplitters & Burnout Paradise but that's it ) so yeah....it's all personal taste in the end. also THPS3 is better than THPS4.... and to this day I wish the devs responsible for SSX 3 could make a new 1080 for Nintendo....imagine a 1080 snowboarding game that's more like SSX 3 ( the best snowboarding game of all time )
Metroid Prime - What a God of a Game! I played this to death. Everything was just on point, and it still even looks great today after all of these years.
For me personally Wario Ware, XII, Pac Man World 2 & Serious Sam deserved to be on this list too but I guess it just shows how amazing this system was.
In my town 2 years ago a video game/table top gaming bar opened where you could go in and play any vidgame you wanted and they had a super smash bros melee competition with fellow patrons and online players. Then covid hit last year they shut down and I hope they reopen again. I loved that place.
@@mau99 I agree even though most might disagree that I found starfox adventures really fun and awesome 👍, also truth be told SFA was my very first GameCube game along side Mario kart double dash.
As a big Star Fox fan, I felt that Star Fox Assault was not very good. I was an adult by the time the game came out, so my opinion might be different than those who experienced it as a kid. Now, even though I was much younger when Star Fox and Star Fox 64 came out, I do think they are both much better than Assault.
Twilight Princess still looks amazing, even though WW made the list. WW pushed away from the rest of the series in terms of style, and it deserves kudos for that (cel-shaded deliciousness), but TP did as well in its own way: it's dark, it looks more realistic than other Zelda games (keeping in mind that this was well before BotW), and it even earned itself a T rating, which was a first for the series. If you haven't played it, you really should if you're a fan of the series at all.
I am from the NES and SNES era. I had atari too. My last Nintendo console was a N64. Watching this video makes me want a cube though. I love Zelda and Metroid.
Metroid Prime one of the best games ever, yes Also Resident Evil 4. The over the shoulder camera was a first for Res Evil and is now the standard. Eternal Darkness also in my opinion. The jump scare in the early stage of the game (in the bathroom, remember?) is one of the scariest moments in gaming history
For Me, I would have preferred RE4 to be #1, but it at #2 would have also been acceptable to me. #4 is just not acceptable to me. As it was arguably one of the ten games that many would consider influential to the future of gaming as, well, name one modern third-person action or adventure game that doesn't use the over-the-shoulder viewpoint.
The GameCube is by far the most underrated console gem ever made. Definitely Nintendo’s best. Honestly it’s kinda sad to see the Nintendo switch so far behind its competitors in terms of power
Better power doesn't make a console better. Even though the PS4 and Xbone are much more powerful, the switch has vastly better games and just has a certain charm only Nintendo can create.
Pichkalu Pappita I disagree, there is no variety in the ps4 exclusive games, they are all third person adventure games, I mean, they are good, but if you do something good too much it kind of gets worn out and annoying.
@@chikinonfrydai Ummm... Uncharted 4, God of war, Horizon zero Dawn, Bloodborne, Spiderman, The last of us, Days gone, imfamous second son, Yakuza 6, Street fighter 5, Until Dawn.. Come on Bro. You clearly don't know what you talking about and go check the scores on those games. PlayStation got exclusive for days.
I remember how pissed I was when I first saw Wind Waker. Though now I am able to appreciate it and feel it is a better game and has aged much better than TP, it wasn’t the game 17 year old me wanted to play at the time.
@@Usario321 you missed out it’s great. I was gutted when I first see the graphics in a Nintendo magazine but without 5 mins playing didn’t even notice.
Metroid topping the list again was the correct choice. Reading everything about how the development of this game makes it especially a miracle that it not only came out, but was as masterful as it was. Great list.
You're missing Tales of Symphonia, Rogue Squadron 2, Skies of Arcadia Legends, and Prince of Persia: Sands of Time. Also I would have preferred Timesplitters: Future Perfect be on the list instead of 2 for better graphics, better campaign, and more multiplayer options. Otherwise the list is pretty good. Wind Waker is a better choice for the list than Twilight Princess. It's more memorable, took more risks, and has better music. Also aged better. Still, I object to the assertion that Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door is the best Mario rpg. In my opinion that honour remains with the original Super Mario: Legend of the Seven Stars. But that's not an issue with the list, just it's presentation.
I object to your objection to the assertion that Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door is the best Mario RPG. Granted, I haven't played all of them, and the last time I tried Super Mario RPG was years ago now (and I never got very far into it). Still, Thousand Year Door is not only my favorite of the Mario RPGs, not only my favorite GameCube title, but my favorite game of all time. I totally understand those who prefer Square Enix's approach in SMRPG (which has its own tongue in cheek humor as well as more of a fantasy element), and I can definitely appreciate the wackiness of the Mario & Luigi series (Bowser's Inside Story is also a Top 15 game for me), but Thousand Year Door has a certain level of highly-quotable yet grounded comedy that clicks with me like nothing else. It serves as a better satire of the Mario series than any other game in the franchise, yet it stands on its own with its memorable characters and brilliantly crafted world so as to feel much more than just a simple subversion. Gameplay-wise, I might give a slight edge to Bowser's Inside Story, but there is a clear distinction between the two styles and thus Thousand Year Door can still stand on its own. Compared to Mario RPG and Paper Mario, it feels much more refined - snappy yet impactful, and brimming with personality. Mechanics tie so well to the characters and the world that everything meshes together. The badge system is also refined far beyond the original Paper Mario, and your loadout feels impactful (if a little overpowered). This is not to say that the game has flaws. It has major ones, in fact. A lot of backtracking and some poor pacing during certain parts (I love Chapter 4 despite its poor pacing - mostly because of Doopliss; the same cannot be said about Chapter 7). A very odd game balance that is highly exploitable (again, the badge system) and often too easy (until the difficulty spikes with the Shadow Queen and later levels of the Pit of 100 Trials). These issues can kill the game for some. For me, however - someone who unabashedly loves Super Mario Sunshine despite its filler and other multitude of issues - these issues are nothing compared to the strengths I've spoken of above.
I agree, Timesplitters Future Perfect is much better. While I still like both, Future Perfect is much more interesting. Plus, their little slogans are hilarious
KC Clark You have passion for your game of choice, and have clearly thought about this. I respect that and I withdraw the objection. That said I am a child of the 90's and the Mario RPG music is deeply wired to some sort of very important part of my brain. So let's say they all have their strengths and that Thousand Year Door is the best one on the GameCube.
Was so happy to see Windwaker on here. Navigating the seas age coming across a whirlpool or island is still so memorable. It was the genesis of something like Elden Ring or Skyrim where you have those "WOW, what!?" moments! Good list 👌

I couldn't believe when I found out it was a commercial bomb, because my friends and I all played it so much and loved it at the time. Really hoping for a re-release of this and Metroid Prime Trilogy on the Switch at some point.
That would convince me to buy a switch. Also a new Goldeneye game would top it off. Certainly in this day and age of online gaming.
F-Zero GX was the most rewarding game on the gamecube. It's the game that made me feel the proudest to beat it! It took every braincell on high alert to beat those later stages
Number one on my list of the best GameCube game ever and definitely in my top 10 favorite games of all time
Thousand Year Door needs to be ported to the Switch badly.
Praline with those CS visuals, oh boy yes
Maybe in a thousand years ;)

Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King is a good choice.
Those are good games loved all of those
Is there Tony Hawk: America Wasteland on the gamecube?
Nfs carbon, any sonic games, any tales of series games aswell
sonic adventure 2 battle
I remember return of the king on ps2. That was a great game
I’m getting a GameCube so that’s why I’m looking at this lol
You won’t regret it. Lots of great games on that system. I’ve had one since launch day and it’s been in use ever since. My only system from that gen that has a permanent place under the tv. If you can find Skies Of Arcadia Legends for a price you can afford buy it!
Jason Savage If I can find a good price I will definitely get it
Jason Savage I managed to find a copy for 35 dollars so I might get it
Classixx_Jerm at that price I’d pick it up for sure. It’s getting fairly expensive. Great game.
You're so lucky
You don't know how bad I want an FZeroGX remake and a Metroid Prime collection for Switch!
modded wii gg
Exactly
I’d buy a switch in a blink of an eye if F-Zero ever released but nah
I’ll just keep playing on my Gamecube
Tales of Symphonia is on my Top 5. Sad to see it didn't even get a mention here.
I came into the comments purely for this find. #1
This and Skies of Arcadia for me!
Apparently, Simpsons hit and run is better!
A fantastic game, which very rarely ever gets a mention.
Baten Kaitos???
Star Fox Adventures???
Fire Emblem???
Tales of???
Moisés Quesada Help make Baten Kaitos shine, it's a gem that hasn't been forgotten.
Oh damn I forgot about starfox adventures!!
I would've included Rogue Squadron II.
Definitely!! That was a stellar game!
Was going to post this.
Guys, stop saying that a game should be higher up on the list, since this list just says the games in a random order.
And while I’ve got your attention, Wario World should be on the list.
Was wondering that too
Almost everyone saying that is kidding
I saved half my lunch money every day for a month to buy Metroid Prime after seem it in ONM. Still own it today, and it's my favourite game purchase of all time. Helps that it's also such a bloody great game!
I feel betrayed that they mentioned IS as developing Fire Emblem without including Path of Radiance.
whats IS
@@IAMMRON Intelligent Systems
I agree with most, but... Where was Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, possibly the nearest a spin-off has got to recreating the feel of the main series games, and refining everything Colosseum set down for the Gamecube games. The idea of Shadow Pokémon got expanded in this game, with Shadow pretty much becoming its own move type considering the expanded Shadow move list. Yeah, it might not have been for everyone, but it was undeniably a good game.
i was looking for this comment, it’s one of my favorite games of all time. i replayed it a few years ago and it still held up to the original magic from my childhood
I really wish they would do a remake of this and/or colosseum
Yeah I prefer Sunshine to 64. Fight me.
Me too man me too
I will fight you i will go to war over that statement.
RadJacob me too lol
what? let's do this. put em up!
It's been almost a year and I see no end to this war.
Soul Calibur on the Dreamcast is without doubt, one of the finest and most polished fighting games out there. To this day it's still my favourite.
One huge negative to every Soul Calibur after the original was the format or lack of Team Battles. Once you got hooked on 8v8 random against your friend that was in the first, not having 8v8 was a huge letdown in the sequels :(
WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT POKEMON COLOSSEUM???
SoneMonRep or Pokemon XD, both Pokemon games are a break from the battle gyms formula
I love Pokemon Colosseum.
same
Agreed!
Because it's a flaming turd.
My 2 cents: I think RE4 is in fact the best Gamecube game. It was insane how it combined action with world building and fun. MP is however a close second. MP2 is not as good and it takes a while to get into, but man, when it has found its momentum it's better than the first one. Too bad Viewtiful Joe is missing.
I've actually stated I would have been fine if RE4 was number 2, but that Number 4, despite the irony, is just not acceptable due to how influential RE4 is. The reason I can accept it at #2 is that Metroid Prime exists and is the only real contender for the crown.
Re4 isn't an exclusive
MP?
@@olsonbryce777 It was originally an exclusive and marketed heavily as one. The re-releases were years later
RE4 on game cube absolutely frustrated me since the left stick was to aim and my brain has never developed aiming level precision with my left thumb
Can’t believe how many of these games I owned but back then games didn’t come out as frequently as they do now, Metroid, Eternal Darkness and Time Splitters were my favorites I loved Turok as well but the loading times on that game were crazy long thanx for the stroll down memory lane
Why's Rogue Squadron 2 not on the list?
..."One game per main series franchise."
Elementus and Custom Robo
Dragonband no star wars games appeared in the list so it would be following that rule
Elementus - I just realized that - I assumed there were. There should have been
Because of Alex.
Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario 64 was my childhood man. And Zelda Majora's Mask. Damn... miss those days.
Him: "talking about prices"
Me: "EMULATOOOOOOOOOOOR!!!!!"
...No Kirby Air Ride. T.T
Kirby Air Ride is one of the best games EVER
Going around on the City, basically robbing cars
Yet the Simpsons was... and no Pokemon either...
Oh yeah, completely forgot about XD, that was actually my first pokemon game ever
Mine was Coliseum
Im playing it toght now
Had the GC on release and had 15 games from this list.
I loved Rogue Squadron as well!
It's time they brought some of these games to a modern system.
It's my favourite looking ninty system and the games still loolk fantastic to me.
Classic.
I’m actually hurt you didn’t include starfox adventures
I really wanted to like this game but somehow it was...boring :/
@@maxschmidt666 Awww... Maybe just the nostalgia that pulls me in, Was one of my favourites but definitley wasn't perfect and wasn't for everyone
It's possibly the most disappointing game of all time for me. I was so hyped for it, picked it up, and after a few hours I already knew that I wasn't going to like it. Still finished it, but meh. That was not a good Christmas.
I know in a Starfox series point of view, it’s an awful Starfox game. But for me, who loves Zelda, it was like a Starfox Zelda so to this day absolutely love it and play it
@@LocrianDorian hahaha one game made it a bad Christmas?😂
I played Wind walker for the first time yesterday and the graphics are phenomenal and blew me away
Where the heck is Tales of Symphonia?! Seriously, you can't have a Top 21 Game Cube Games List without it, that's just wrong.
Nintendolife seems to dislike JRPGs; I've stopped expecting them on these kinds of lists.
Yeah that's top 5 for me, plus no path or radiance or Baten Kaitos... this list has some games I would never have even considered
there is so many great game on the game cube
I love that game and I think they could have taken away the multiplatform games and stick with just exclusives, even if the exclisive was a short time exclusive like RE4 and Tales
A lot of exclusive JRPGs are missing on this list not to mention a good number of the games listed are multiplats.
Wave Race: Blue Storm is a favorite of mine. So much replay ability.
The water racing game? Or is that wipe out?
I don’t remember seeing Rogue Leader on the list.
I agree with your #1 pick. Metroid Prime is an unbelievably fun and well- made game. One of the few games I feel confident saying they "did everything right". I am currently barreling through Prime 2, i never played it back in the day but picked up a copy recently
For me personally there’d have to be room for:
1. XII (one of the best FPS ever with the closest thing to a modern Goldeneye multiplayer).
2. Pac Man World 2: Great graphics, brilliant fun, takes some of the best aspects of Mario 64.
3. Wario Ware (amazing multiplayer).
4. Serious Sam: Next Encounter (great fun, doesn’t take itself seriously, pick up and play!)
Paper Mario is my Number 1
same man same...
cant wait to do my paper mario ttyd lets play on my channel because it is that good!
Agreed.
migoro me too
I’m longing for a remake or port of the Thousand Year Door.
Lets just hope the next one is more like TTYD than Color Flop
F-ZERO GX is my favorite GameCube game. Good to see it getting some recognition
F-Zero it's sad that it was the last racing game for Fzero
F-Zero that game was so Effin hard!!
I’m not sure why this was recommended to me; I’ve not watched an nl video in a bit, but hearing that “hey there lovey people” is surprisingly comforting
Wind waker one of the best games ever made!!
My top 5:
1: Super Mario SunShine
2: Zelda Windwaker
3: Resident evil 4
4: Smash Bros Melee
5: Mario Kart Double Dash

Pfft... who can afford path of radiance?!
@@olihowes2744 Nintendo refuses to give us a legal way to purchase it, so just emulate it
I still regret selling my copy of this game a couple years ago (and very cheap compared to what people try to sell it for this days). One of my favorite games ever
Metroid Prime is life
The Gamecube is my favorite console, this is a great list! but you still missed some of my favorites: Path of Radiance, Baten Kaitos series, the Prince of Persia games, the Pokémon games, Mario Strikers, etc.
7eonardo2 Help me make Baten Kaitos known to the world.
Both Pokémon Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness are worth a mention. Seeing Pokémon in 3D on the big screen was great, especially when connecting the GBA games in battle mode (the fact that you could use your GBA as another controller speaks for itself) and battling your friends. But overall the story mode being totally different than you typical expect of Pokémon.
I'm guessing the folks who put this together are not a big fan of JRPGs are they? Seriously no Tales of Symphonia, Fire Emblem Path of Radiance, Skies of Arcadia Legends and Baten Kaitos?
TheNeoSkyte Make Baten Kaitos more well known.
JRPG sux
Skies of arcadia wasn't an exclusive.
@@drunkensailor112 neither were a few of these, like resi 4
jay cee lost kingdoms is an absolute hidden gem! Such an underrated game!
Baten Kaitos? Tales of Symphonia? Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles? Skies of Arcadia: Legends? Fire Emblem? COME ON! The Gamecube had some of the greatest RPG's of a generation and you fail to even mention one
Michieliosi Make Baten Kaitos and Origins more well known, the gem's gotta shine.
To say the GameCube had some of the greatest RPG’s, well that’s a stretch don’t ya think?
Paper Mario? You watched the video right?
Most true comment ever!
Michieliosi That games suck
It's amazing how beautiful gamecube graphics look today. It certainly was a powerful piece of hardware for the time in which it was released.
Mine is getting mailed out this weekend I’m looking forward to playing it again
It was actually more powerful than the ps2 and xbox
Mario Sunshine was always my favorite Mario. I was super excited to play Odyssey but I think I mentally over hyped it. It wasn't as good as I expected. And I also got a little annoyed how much everyone loves Odyssey but didn't love Sunshine. This may sound strange but I view Odyssey as a sequel to Sunshine BECAUSE you have normal Mario moves and a "weapon" for competing tasks. It felt like an extension of the Sunshine play style to me.
Odyssey is just more polished and capitalizes on its ideas a bit more. It’s also a much meatier experience. That said, Sunshine is unparalleled when it comes to how liberating its controls are, how strong its art direction is, and how thick and effective its sense of atmosphere is. Sunshine should’ve been much higher on the list, if not the top spot, but I guess this guy didn’t enjoy it as much.
My too favorite games listed:
1. Wind waker
2.def Jam fight for NY.
3.metriod prime.
4. Mario kart double dash
5. Twilight princess
Games I left out. Sun shine, true crime, etc.
Such good times with this console. I never even care if it was cool or not...I loved it. Every game was such a quantifiably major step up from what came before it. Controls were tight, graphics cleaning up big time, inventive stories and mechanics...just all around magic. Thanks for including Eternal Darkness. Nobody ever does. Lol. You def forgot Pikmin though.
Kirby Air Ride?
FIIIIIRE
Yeah I can't believe this didn't make the list.
I know man
should've replaced SSX3, i like that game, but it doesn't deserve to be on the list. Honorable mention at most.
Honestly that game is kinda ass 😂 I rather play FZero for my high adrenaline racing fix
Bruh, Why isn't the REmake on here, it's one of the best
Great list but you definitely left out Tales of Symphonia. To have such and amazing, Japanesey RPG on the GameCube after the N64's role-playing drought blew my mind. It's one of my favorite games ever and certainly still the best in the series.
“You’re welcome Andre” I died, thank you for that
You missed Viewtiful Joe, Mario Power Tennis, Wario World and Star Fox Assault
Manuel Villalobos Acuña Viewtiful Joe should definitely be on the list.
Was never a fan of wario world it was a cool concept but reallly weird both in controls and gameplay department for me at least
Manuel Villalobos Acuña
I would have added Ikaruga (one of the best Shoot 'm Ups I've ever played), Tales of Symphonia, Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, Baten Kaitos Origins, Skies of Arcadia Legends, Chibi-Robo, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and Star Wars Rogue Leader: Rogue Squadron II to the list.
Good choice of games! Specially Fire Emblem Path of Radiance :)
gamegod19 Best game ever
Gamecube was such a unique console, I remember everyone's faces including mines when we saw the disc size lol.
The modern times are nice but the OG classics will always have a special place in my heart.
Pikmin 1 and 2 are tied for the number 1 spot for me. Paper Mario : The Thousand Year Door is a close second.

Super Mario Strikers aka Super Mario Smash Football
Domsiify Spread the word of Baten Kaitos.
STARTAN TOTAL WARRIOR IDC WHAT U SAY
Ikaruga, Killer 7... The Gamecube had a bunch of great games. Also I would have preferred RE:0 to be on the list, simply because it was a Gamecube exclusive. And yes, I know that the version of RE:4 was the best one out until it got remastered (the PS2 version was just bad and the PC version was a crappy port of the PS2 one), but still.
Baten Kaitos games are amazing, they just rarely receive critical acclaim as they can be bland and cookie cutter at times for a JRPG, such as in plot, dialogue, and voice acting. Ive beaten both games though and the card mechanic and the combos really are what make the games fun and unique
There are still 2 exclusive Star Wars Games, 2 Star Fox Games and for sure Metroid Prime 2!
Wow, I’m really amazed at the wonkiness of this list.
Some surprising but deserved inclusions like Beyond Good & Evil but totally missing an entry like Star Wars Rogue Leader which was an incredible flight sim.
*#1: Metroid Prime*

+Colton Zuspan Just download the ISO and play it on dolphin emulator or a homebrewed Wii. No point paying some schmuck $80+ for his copy when Nintendo isn't getting a cent of that money.
Star fox assault, Battalion Wars 1, and Pokemon Colosseum should have been honorable mentions (but wait, there was not an "honorable mentions"category included within the video!?) 😅
I'm surprised Skies of Arcadia Legends wasn't on the list. That is a great steampunk JRPG .
I think Resident Evil Remake, Rogue Squadron, N4SU2, and Skies of Arcadia are worth a mention. Really good games.
I know I'm 2 years late, but I'd also add Viewtiful Joe, Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, Battalion Wars, and Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time to the list of honorable mentions.
Paper Mario Thousand Year Door should have been at least top 5. I know it's his opinion on the game choice but it's a bit surprising.
I LOVE that game
Freddie Cherry I just happen to agree ;)
I definitely agree. Best RPG on the system, and one of the best RPGs of all time in my opinion. It is just such a phenomenal game. I would even put it above melee.
Idk man level 2,3, and 4 are pretty bad. 6 sucks and half of 7 is terrible
I silently begging to Nintendo that they make a remake or port of the Thousand Year Door.
Excuse me ur missing Star Fox: Adventures. The GOAT don’t @ me
I love that Metroid promised the top of your list oh, it's so strange that such a great and beloved Nintendo game is still very very cheap so if you don't have this game pick it up!
Neither Tales of Symponia nor Path of Radiance are in this? Unbelievable.
Praline Symphonia is in my top 5 games of all time. Shocked it wasn't here.
Metroid Prime is still in my top 3 of all time. Together with Dark Souls and Beyond Good and Evil. They just stuck with me the most due to their unique style.

Rodolfo Romero Baten Kaitos is a gem few know about, so is origins. We've gotta get people aware of it.

also THPS3 is better than THPS4....
and to this day I wish the devs responsible for SSX 3 could make a new 1080 for Nintendo....imagine a 1080 snowboarding game that's more like SSX 3 ( the best snowboarding game of all time )
Metroid Prime - What a God of a Game! I played this to death. Everything was just on point, and it still even looks great today after all of these years.
Love your little reference to Andre from gamexplain on double dash.

Viewtiful Joe, Ikaruga and Starfox Assault not on list???
For me personally Wario Ware, XII, Pac Man World 2 & Serious Sam deserved to be on this list too but I guess it just shows how amazing this system was.
@@SRPC21 no Rogue Leader or Mario Party 4 either which is surprising
Technically Ikaruga was a Naomi/Dreamcast title more than a Gamecube one as it originated from there.
In my town 2 years ago a video game/table top gaming bar opened where you could go in and play any vidgame you wanted and they had a super smash bros melee competition with fellow patrons and online players. Then covid hit last year they shut down and I hope they reopen again. I loved that place.
Star Fox: Assault should be mentioned
Thank you! It's a great game. Especially the multiplayer
star fox adventures......
Finally someone with a unique taste! Agreed!👍 It is a great game and the multi player was fun!
@@mau99 I agree even though most might disagree that I found starfox adventures really fun and awesome 👍, also truth be told SFA was my very first GameCube game along side Mario kart double dash.
As a big Star Fox fan, I felt that Star Fox Assault was not very good. I was an adult by the time the game came out, so my opinion might be different than those who experienced it as a kid. Now, even though I was much younger when Star Fox and Star Fox 64 came out, I do think they are both much better than Assault.
Twilight Princess still looks amazing, even though WW made the list. WW pushed away from the rest of the series in terms of style, and it deserves kudos for that (cel-shaded deliciousness), but TP did as well in its own way: it's dark, it looks more realistic than other Zelda games (keeping in mind that this was well before BotW), and it even earned itself a T rating, which was a first for the series.
If you haven't played it, you really should if you're a fan of the series at all.
I am from the NES and SNES era. I had atari too. My last Nintendo console was a N64. Watching this video makes me want a cube though. I love Zelda and Metroid.
Metroid Prime one of the best games ever, yes
Also Resident Evil 4. The over the shoulder camera was a first for Res Evil and is now the standard.
Eternal Darkness also in my opinion. The jump scare in the early stage of the game (in the bathroom, remember?) is one of the scariest moments in gaming history
For Me, I would have preferred RE4 to be #1, but it at #2 would have also been acceptable to me. #4 is just not acceptable to me. As it was arguably one of the ten games that many would consider influential to the future of gaming as, well, name one modern third-person action or adventure game that doesn't use the over-the-shoulder viewpoint.
This entire 'list' was wrong when it failed to include Rogue Leader
Exactly
Wrestling fans will probably remember Wrestle Mania XIX and Day of Reckoning 1&2. All 3 were so much fun!
The GameCube is by far the most underrated console gem ever made. Definitely Nintendo’s best. Honestly it’s kinda sad to see the Nintendo switch so far behind its competitors in terms of power
Better power doesn't make a console better. Even though the PS4 and Xbone are much more powerful, the switch has vastly better games and just has a certain charm only Nintendo can create.
Pichkalu Pappita I disagree, there is no variety in the ps4 exclusive games, they are all third person adventure games, I mean, they are good, but if you do something good too much it kind of gets worn out and annoying.
@@chikinonfrydai Ummm... Uncharted 4, God of war, Horizon zero Dawn, Bloodborne, Spiderman, The last of us, Days gone, imfamous second son, Yakuza 6, Street fighter 5, Until Dawn.. Come on Bro. You clearly don't know what you talking about and go check the scores on those games. PlayStation got exclusive for days.
Ronnie Socks All of those but Street fighter V are third person adventure games.
I remember how pissed I was when I first saw Wind Waker. Though now I am able to appreciate it and feel it is a better game and has aged much better than TP, it wasn’t the game 17 year old me wanted to play at the time.
Benjatron26354 same for me, I still haven’t played it to this day
I prefer TP, I just love the style and direction of the story better.
@@Usario321 you missed out it’s great. I was gutted when I first see the graphics in a Nintendo magazine but without 5 mins playing didn’t even notice.
Metroid topping the list again was the correct choice. Reading everything about how the development of this game makes it especially a miracle that it not only came out, but was as masterful as it was. Great list.
Super Mario sunshine crushed super Mario 64 especially for replay value now..okay I said it..
Dave Nolan Preach
Super Mario Sunshine best mario game ever.
@Pilgrimeister maybe a stupid question but how do you do that?
@Pilgrimeister thanks big dawg
Imo Mario Galaxy is better than both of them...
Come at me.
You're missing Tales of Symphonia, Rogue Squadron 2, Skies of Arcadia Legends, and Prince of Persia: Sands of Time.
Also I would have preferred Timesplitters: Future Perfect be on the list instead of 2 for better graphics, better campaign, and more multiplayer options.
Otherwise the list is pretty good. Wind Waker is a better choice for the list than Twilight Princess. It's more memorable, took more risks, and has better music. Also aged better.
Still, I object to the assertion that Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door is the best Mario rpg. In my opinion that honour remains with the original Super Mario: Legend of the Seven Stars. But that's not an issue with the list, just it's presentation.
I object to your objection to the assertion that Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door is the best Mario RPG.
Granted, I haven't played all of them, and the last time I tried Super Mario RPG was years ago now (and I never got very far into it). Still, Thousand Year Door is not only my favorite of the Mario RPGs, not only my favorite GameCube title, but my favorite game of all time.
I totally understand those who prefer Square Enix's approach in SMRPG (which has its own tongue in cheek humor as well as more of a fantasy element), and I can definitely appreciate the wackiness of the Mario & Luigi series (Bowser's Inside Story is also a Top 15 game for me), but Thousand Year Door has a certain level of highly-quotable yet grounded comedy that clicks with me like nothing else. It serves as a better satire of the Mario series than any other game in the franchise, yet it stands on its own with its memorable characters and brilliantly crafted world so as to feel much more than just a simple subversion.
Gameplay-wise, I might give a slight edge to Bowser's Inside Story, but there is a clear distinction between the two styles and thus Thousand Year Door can still stand on its own. Compared to Mario RPG and Paper Mario, it feels much more refined - snappy yet impactful, and brimming with personality. Mechanics tie so well to the characters and the world that everything meshes together. The badge system is also refined far beyond the original Paper Mario, and your loadout feels impactful (if a little overpowered).
This is not to say that the game has flaws. It has major ones, in fact. A lot of backtracking and some poor pacing during certain parts (I love Chapter 4 despite its poor pacing - mostly because of Doopliss; the same cannot be said about Chapter 7). A very odd game balance that is highly exploitable (again, the badge system) and often too easy (until the difficulty spikes with the Shadow Queen and later levels of the Pit of 100 Trials).
These issues can kill the game for some. For me, however - someone who unabashedly loves Super Mario Sunshine despite its filler and other multitude of issues - these issues are nothing compared to the strengths I've spoken of above.
I agree, Timesplitters Future Perfect is much better. While I still like both, Future Perfect is much more interesting. Plus, their little slogans are hilarious
KC Clark You have passion for your game of choice, and have clearly thought about this. I respect that and I withdraw the objection. That said I am a child of the 90's and the Mario RPG music is deeply wired to some sort of very important part of my brain.
So let's say they all have their strengths and that Thousand Year Door is the best one on the GameCube.
Gino Sanchez It's time to split!
Andrew Tyrell Gingerbread man and Harry Tipper get me every time🤣
Was so happy to see Windwaker on here. Navigating the seas age coming across a whirlpool or island is still so memorable. It was the genesis of something like Elden Ring or Skyrim where you have those "WOW, what!?" moments! Good list 👌
Metroid Prime, A masterpiece
