20 Best GameCube Games of All Time

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 มิ.ย. 2024
- 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.
The original is still my favorite. Some of the ghosts still make me jump til this day
It’s because Eternal Darkness is really a hidden gem game. Most mainstream gamers know RE not Eternal Darkness.
Well you see, opinions are like assholes. You are one.
What store?
@@QuimbyFletcher1996McDonald's
Pokémon Colosseum and XD Gale of Darkness both deserve a mention.
Twilight princess at 14 is absolutely criminal
More than criminal
How can Pikmin and animal Crossing be better :(
Luigi's Mansion?
I was waiting for it all list. And fire wmo
Yeah Luigi’ Mansion is a classic
Should always have an honorable mention category. Soul Caliber 2, Timesplitters 2 & Star Wars: Rogue Squadron 2: Rogue Leader come to mind
SS tricky I'm a die-hard Soulcalibur fan but I've had more fun with SS tricky than any other game on GameCube
Other underrated games you can recommend for the Gamecube?
@@rasmussgaard2596 - don't know if it's underrated, but Mortal Kombat Deception was excellent
Thanks for the videos! Well made, great narration and screenshots. I’d personally add Medal Of Honor, Need for speed and Soulcalibur to the list.
The GameCube is Nintendo's best console
When it came out, I was pretty much the only one out of all my peers that bought it. The games were amazing and make up a great part of those years of my life. I’ll never understand the reasons that are given as to why it didn’t sell as well.
Mario sunshine , double dash, freestyle dude game cube OP
*Freekstyle
@@isaiahgoodrum5733 I didn't like it for the first party games tbh
Nintendos best console is the Snes. A link to the past, megaman x, super Metroid, chrono trigger, super Mario world, yoshis island, dkc trilogy, earthbound, f zero, Mario kart, star Fox, the list goes on and has aged the best out of all consoles
Twilight Princess should have been much higher on this list.
Honestly, hasn’t aged well. I remember playing it when it came out and thought it was very bland compared to wind waker. It was very much the precursor to Skyward Sword which was also super disappointing
@@JacketsOnFireyou’re out of your mind. Twilight was probably the best game they ever made
@@JacketsOnFire WW was bad. It was very little actual combat action. Most of WW was just mind-numbing fetch-quest. And the reason it took so long was because of no-action-mind-numbing travels.
Exactly. I like animal crossing but its for sure not as good as Twilight Princess
I truly feel that tales of Symphonia, star fox adventures, and lost kingdoms should have made it to the list!
Star Fox adventures was bad
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
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
Wind Waker is my #1 as well. Such a classic adventure worth experiencing.
THE BEST WII GAMES: th-cam.com/video/vbByK6ARXeo/w-d-xo.html
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? 😂
Tales of Symphonia is one of those games that has a huge cult following but not great critical reception. Not sure why
What happen to Metroid Prime 2? Soul Calibur 2?
Luigi's Mansion?
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✌️
Really good list! Fire Emblem Path of Radiance and Luigi's Mansion should have been somewhere on that list though.
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.
You’re going to have a great time my friend. Enjoy!
Need for speed underground 2 gamecube was a testament to the gc power
How did you get your GC picture so sharp?
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.
I owned same ps2 in my attic last few years, lost my dc but I have a great collection of gc games now. 😊
Nice list.. I really played the crap out of super Mario strikers. Cube 2003 fifa really made me fall in love with fifa. Spider-Man 2 much like hulk was very fun being in the city
Ok, not only is not giving Melee the top spot bad enough, but how could you leave out the Star Fox games, the Timesplitters games, or any of the Sonic games?
That's just how good the GameCube is. There's so much good stuff that didn't make the cut.
metroid prime should be number 1 =D and i really miss the resident evil remake. best horrorgame ever made.
What game is being shown at 0:47 ? Ive been looking for this game for years with nothing but a memory to go off of
Metal Arms: Glitch in the System
@@taylorph1 thank you so much
Thanks for the list. I have to look for some ROM’s to download.
I need to get my hands on a gamecube. How should i get one nowadays? 😅
Im surprised RE Rebirth wasnt here but hey, great video none the less.
we try and limit the particular franchise entries if we can for variety reasons!
@@CulturedVultures gotcha. RE4 was defenitly the right pic. Lol.
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.
Fire emblem?
Kirby air ride is a great one and deserves to be on the list
Sunshine with modern control will be amazing.
It is past time for a new Veautiful Joe and Eternal Darkness.
Took me years to finish wind Walker but I loved it.
Man I loved rogue leader and think it still holds up quite well even today. Kind of shocked not to see it on here
same, that game was the reason i bought a GC back in 2003
Yea, Rogue Leader is my favorite game of Game Cube.
F-Zero GX, Sunshine, Metroid Prime, and Melee could easily be higher on the list. Wind Waker was big when it came out, but I've not heard anybody talking about it in decades. Whereas people debate between Ocarina and Mario for the 64, Melee continues to be praised as the game that defined the Cube. Personal top 10:
10: Monkey Ball*
9: Star Fox Assault
8: Twilight Princes
7: Luigi's Mansion*
6: SSX Trickey*
5: Soul Caliber 2
4: F-Zero GX*
3: Mario Sunshine*
2: Metroid Prime*
1: Super Smash Bros. Melee*
*Games I would say gave the GameCube it's identity as a counsel.
SSX Tricky is also available on the PS2
No Baten kaitos origins ? Also harvest moon on GameCube was amazing , but much respect love the list ! 🎮🕹️
I tried playing Origins after how much fun I had with Eternal Wings, but I gotta say........Origins was just abrasive from the beginning. The battle system was way worse (very confusing) and the whole intro sequence felt dull/tedious.
Based list. Couldn't agree more with number 1 ❤
gay list
@@Morpheus776 go touch grass
Not #1, but Wave Race deserved to be in the top 20.
yes I love Blue Storm.
Cheers! You have revitalised mi love for the GameCube.
#MERRYCHRISTMAS
Such a stacked console; but am surprised that Rogue Leader (whatever number) launch title isn't on there from Factor 5... it still looks amazing. Also Soul Calibur 2, Spider-Man 2 and WarioWare... guess it can't fit in everything 😀
It's a japanese exclusive but try Naruto: Gekitō Ninja Taisen! 3, they later released some english ports but some content was cut. A very fun multiplayer fighting game and you can spend a while unlocking unlockables in the story (mission) mode
Also the gameplay shown in the video is from the Wind Waker HD, which is obviously much better looking, but also has plenty of gameplay issues fixed.
wind waker was so good it got its own special edition wii u. which included an hd remaster.
Metroid prime should of been #1,. And I never even heard of a lot of these games. I believe there was a pretty cool batman game for the cube that should of been on there.
Should've*
@@dylane1006 ok that’s what gets your attention or bothers you is my grammar? lol Ok bro 🤦🏽♂️
Metroid prime should’ve been #1. You still knew the point and understood so,. yeah
Are these exclusives?
No Super Monkey Ball is a crime against humanity (and monkeys, and bananas)
Add in Timesplitters 2 and Rogue Squadron 2 to the mix too. And Resident Evil Remake...there's too many!
This gen was the peak of modern gaming
Without watching I’m hoping Soul Caliber is at least an honorable mention
I think Twilight Princess is a superior game to Wind Waker. I find both games to be classics, but Twilight Princess is such a huge step forward for the series, much more than Wind Waker, that I tend to rank it much higher.
I agree, although the real reason for TP > WW is because WW kinda sucked (the graphic was the only good part). The gameplay was nothing but pain. The entire boat section was nothing but very very dull thing, and [mapping, taking picture, salvaging] were mind-numbing due to lack of action (you go to a place, then you press a button). WAY too much frustration. There were only 4 dungeons (plus 1 final dungeon), which was very very lackluster. The combat was literally no challenge -- boomerang for the most part, and you win. And for the rest fights, you just stand still until the "win" button shows up, and you win.
I also prefer TP by a mile, WW is one of the most overrated games of all time imo (still a good game but on the weaker side when it comes to this series´ standard).
I agree with the game play. It seemed a bit "lacking" however the game looks great and the dungeons are good. The rest... yeah... it's a lacking game.
Imo, WW is a great game but not in Top 5. Also TP is not that great either, I find it boring.
I also didn't rate WW. I always felt it was one of the weaker ones, as far as Zelda games go (although maybe that's partly because the series as a whole is so strong?) .The overworld is a largely featureless ocean, with a handful of absolutely tiny islands scattered about. The cell graphics seemed cool at first, but I ultimately felt it was a bit lacking. Not much there to explore.
Well, thought I would see beach spikers and / or Sega soccer slam in this top 20 ... ;)
Even if no one else loves Skies of Arcadia Legends, I will love it
The retrospective for that game is good
Oh my word I was 22 when game cube was released, now I feel old, never owned a game cube till I got my wii in 2007 and began playing gamecube games on it, I still play gamecube on my wii but holy heck are wii game expensive now.
Spartan Total Warrior!! Great game.
I miss a few games like Luigi's Mansion, Star Fox Adventures Tales Of Symphonia, Wario World and Time Splitters 3.
I would have thought Mario Party would be on the list.
*YES!!! HE ACTUALLY INCLUDED PIKMIN!!!*
Twilight princess blows wind waker away should have been number 1
A rom pack with all games mentioned would be nice
Are you sure that it doesn’t exist?
Obviously a link to it cannot be poster on a public site, so you’ll have to find it yourself.
Get a PC and an emulator. Easier and in the long run, cheaper. Along with Genesis, SNES, NES, and many more emulators. 🤷♂️
@@LordRain1031 emulators lag a lot on gen 6 and later consoles. they are good gen 5 and earlier, though,
5. RE1 Remake
4. Metroid Prime
3. RE4
2. WWE Day of Reckoning 2
1. Prince of Persia: SOT
What happened to Super Monkey Ball or Super Monkey Ball 2? No best GameCube games list is complete without one or both of these games on it.
I know this is a long shot but does anyone remember a game that was Frankenstein ish monster game where you fight monsters an get new body parts for ur monster to make it stronger I don’t remember anything else about it it’s in the back of my mind I played it when I was a kid I don’t remember anything else tho I wish I could remember more
This list apparently needs to be top 40? Missing some absolute classics. Also how can you have a top 20 without tales of symphonia or fire emblem path of radiance?
twilight princess released on gamecube and wii at the same time, the wii-u was the only remaster
What about skies of arcadia
Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 ?
No Luigi’s mansion??
I'm just curious, how did Zelda TP only rank 14th as a top GameCube game but was 2nd on the top Wii games? Admittedly, I played the Wii and WiiU versions of TP, but I thought aside from being mirrored, the GC game was pretty much the same as the Wii.
Their employees probably vote. Most think of TP as Wii game, not Cube.
Top 5 in no particular order = Metroid Prime 1 & 2, The Wind Waker, Resident Evil 4, Beyond Good & Evil.
Honorable mentions = Prince Of Persia, Twilight Princess & Eternal Darkness
The rest? meh!
If we're strictly speaking about the GC versions only, then Zelda TP beats WW by a huge gap. GC version of WW was nothing but pain (gameplaywise). The graphic was the only good part about WW.
Also, #1 should be SSB:M. Who are you kidding?
Resident Evil 4 is my favorite game of all time
My top 5 gamecube games
5. Fire Emblem Path Of Radiance
4. Sonic Adventure 2 Battle
3. Smash Bros Melee
2. Wind Waker
1. Resident Evil 4
I will never own fm on gc too expensive and I hate horror re r evil 😅
Honourable mention* Time splitters 2
never got into the game cube until the Dolphin Emulator started showing up
"if your favorite console, growing up, was the Nintendo Gamecube... ...then there's a 50% change you now run an Etsy shop and make videos on a TH-cam commentary channel as a side hustle"... yup... that's me.
What happen to fire emblem yo
I MUST disagree with you about which Zelda game was the best. TP is LEAGUES beyond better than WW was. WW is the only Zelda game that i dropped. The Cell shading look and the less than stellar story just made me disinterested in the game. TP however had EVERYTHING that I always wanted in a Zelda game since it came out in 3D with OoT. To this day I still think it's the peak Zelda game.
Batallion wars should be on one of the top list
No Fire Emblem? What is this, amateur hour?! Jk. Good list. I'd also throw in Tales of Symphonia, Skies of Arcadia, and X-Men Legends if you ever do a follow-up list
What about sonic adventure 2 ?
No Luigi's Mansion or Mario Superstar Baseball?!?
The not so advanced notion of subjectivity. Yet so many people get flustered when their #1 doesn't make the cut lol
I’ve had my GameCube and games since I was 5, I still play and get more games after tragically losing a couple because of my family
But it’s okay I just want to find glitch metal to arms
Melee number one
Double Dash number two
Everything else is debatable
Luigi Mansion needs love too
Haha also ngl HP Quidditch went off too
Wave race was my shit
Personally I would’ve had SSX3 or Tricky on the List! 🙄🤨😉😎
Is that the wii twilight princess/
gotcha force ,twilight princess and double dash are the bet
Bro leaves out the launch title for the GameCube lol nice
Ultimate Destruction gets this video a like and comment!! and Wind Waker as 1!
Resident Evil 1 Remake, the absolute best.
No soul calibur 2? 😢
Luigi's mansion but I appreciate the variety.
Sonic Adventure Battle 2?
Resident Evil 1 (remake)!!!!
I had to get used to the controls which bothered me, but once I did, I played it twice. I didn’t like the final boss and ending though.
In resident evil: code Veronica, there’s a glitch you can use to get infinite green herb (for healing.) I used it because I basically wanted to race through the game just to say I experienced it. It was enjoyable, and still somehow a challenge. Resident evil 4 will always be my favorite though. It’s the only shooter I put up there with goldeneye.
WrestleMania 19. Thank you
You missed 007 Nightfire
No sonic adventure 2 😢
I find your lack of Metroid Prime 2 disturbing.
Skies of Arcadia should be on this list….
Does anyone Remember Freekstyle??
