How to pick your 9 GameCube games
The GameCube sold far fewer consoles than the PS2, but its library is dense with Nintendo’s own games and a few exclusives from Capcom, Sega and Namco. Four shelves to start from:
Nintendo trying new things
The Wind Waker’s cel-shading, Luigi’s Mansion as a launch game, Pikmin, Super Mario Sunshine and Animal Crossing. Metroid Prime took the series to first person and it worked.
Played against friends
Super Smash Bros. Melee, still played at tournaments, Mario Kart: Double Dash!! with two riders per kart, F-Zero GX, Kirby Air Ride, and SoulCalibur II, where the GameCube version had Link.
Horror on a purple box
The 2002 Resident Evil remake, Resident Evil 4 and Eternal Darkness, the game that pretended to delete your save file.
RPGs people bring up
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Tales of Symphonia, Skies of Arcadia Legends, Baten Kaitos and Pokémon Colosseum.
Early Wii consoles played GameCube discs, so if that is where you played some of these, they still count as GameCube games.
Frequently asked questions
Twilight Princess also came out on Wii. Which version is this?
Both. It launched on Wii and GameCube in 2006, and our game data treats them as one game, so adding it here covers either. The later Twilight Princess HD is a separate entry.
Can I include Wii games?
Switch the search to All platforms and add any Wii game. There is no Wii page yet.
Why is Resident Evil in the list twice?
They are two different games. Resident Evil (2002) is the GameCube remake of the 1996 original, and Resident Evil 4 came to GameCube first, before any other console.
Where does my GameCube grid go when I close the tab?
It stays in this browser’s storage, like a memory card, separate from your homepage grid and the other consoles. Clearing site data wipes it, so share a link if you want to keep it.
