What GC Game Are You Playing Right Now?

[HiPNoTyQ]

I missed out on the cube so the Wii is a great opportunity to play some of the gems I missed out on.
I just got Metroid Prime in the mail (I have MP3 on Wii but I'm going to play through this one first.
So far its great! I'm a huge fan of the 2D Metroids and I've been kind of wary about playing these new 3D ones since I wasn't a huge fan of Hunters. However this is turning my opinion around!

Also I got Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes and Starfox Adventures lined up

So my question is to you guys, what GC games are you playing/replaying right now?

[Jogurt the Yogurt]

I'm like you; I never had a GCN, so the Wii is my chance to go back and get some of the gems that I missed. I'm not playing any right now because of Brawl, but just before Brawl was released I played through Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. Brilliant tactical RPG. I also snagged copies of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and Skies of Arcadia Legends for play later on sometime.

[HiPNoTyQ]

Wind Waker is def on my list of games to get, I loved Phantom Hourglass and WW is the only big Zelda I haven't played yet. I was thinking about getting the Fire Emblem for Wii but after hearing how un-noob-friendly it is, I'm going to wait for the DS remake of the original, slated for later this year (hopefully).

I'm also thinking of grabbing the Resident Evil 1 remake! However its kind of pricey wherever I'm looking.

[Jogurt the Yogurt]

You heard wrong about Fire Emblem! Just play on Easy and it'll be a breeze. The un-n00b-friendliness was probably on account of no in-battle saves, but you don't really need them if you're playing on Easy mode anyway. Plus you'd be missing out on a great story. The game will guide you through the mechanics well enough. It would only be too hard if you suck. ;)

I'm looking forward to the DS FE as well, but if it comes to Japan later this year, I suspect we'll have to wait another few months on top of that for the localization.

nice i have resident evil four and its a really good game so is windwaker

[HiPNoTyQ]

just picked up copies of Wind Waker ($35) and the Resident Evil 1 remake ($20) :)

Metroid Prime is SIIIIICK, sooo much better than MP3 IMO. Can't wait to try out MP2

MP > MP3 > MP2

[Ginta]

I'm also play the Wind Waker. Best Zelda game IMO.

[coire]

Wind Waker - Started slightly after Christmas, haven't played for a while.

Ikaruga - Hard as nails, but so gratifying

Super Mario Sunshine - I haven't played it yet, even though I got it around Christmas. I hope to play it after getting through Galaxy.

Games I want to play: Pretty much all of the Resident Evil Remakes. But I hope they come to Wii, with Resident Evil 4 controls.

[max herman]

//

Ikaruga - perfecting chapter 3 and learning chapter 4 in slow mode

Fire Emblem - want to finish this before getting Radiant Dawn

Yesterday, I bought Odama and PN03 but I don't know when I'll
get round to playing them, though!

//

[pdRydia]

I'm pretty sure Pikmin 2 is the only Gamecube game I've played. Good stuff, though.

[conor1017]

i meant to say super smash bros for the nintendo 64

[Jogurt the Yogurt]

Fire Emblem - want to finish this before getting Radiant Dawn

Yes. Great game.

I'm not up to Wind Waker in my Zelda-in-order quest yet, so I've been playing Skies of Arcadia Legends on and off (while I'm not busy with Wii and DS games... and real life).

[Sektor]

MP > MP3 > MP2


I am a massive metriod fan and i thought MP2 sucked. Too overcompliecated and it had a stupid style.


BEST
MP3
MP1
MP2
WORST

[HiPNoTyQ]

MP3 is waaaaay too shooter intensive for me, same with MPH

MP1 is the best IMO, haven't tried MP2

[Juice_Lee]

Wario World. Another Treasure game. It's alright. It's fun to play, but it feels like a task to play more than one level at a time. Also, I'm thinking of picking up Pikmin 2 again soon.

Really, I have a ton of games I want to play, but schoolwork is taking up most of my life, and my social life is kind of sprawling now, so there really isn't any time for video games, and when there is, it's mostly trying to get all the trophies in Brawl.

[KeeperBvK]

Killer 7.

I just love this weird little game. It's got such a great atmosphere, stylish visuals, interesting gameplay, intense shooting action, intriguing story...what's not to love? ^^

[Juice_Lee]

Killer 7 is art.

Very few games are.

[mechanix]

Currently finishing Ocarina of Time. Then on to Majora. My year of Zelda continues...


(also playing Oracle of Ages. Which is heaps better than Seasons.)

[KeeperBvK]

Killer 7 is art.

Very few games are.

It sure is...and unlike most art it's also friggin' entertaining and fun. ^^

[brooks83]

Right now I'm playing Paper Mario - The Thousand Year Door. This game is a lot of fun, 16 bucks well spent :cool: I also bought Starfox: Assault and Turok: Evolution brand new for 13 bucks combined. I haven't played them yet but I will after Paper Mario.

[nsiderforums.org]

I'm not playing anything right this second, but the last one I was playing was Killer 7. I need to go back and beat FE: PoR and Eternal Darkness though...and Baten Kaitos.

[Juice_Lee]

I got to the third to last level of Path of Radiance and then just stopped. I should finish what I started.

[Jogurt the Yogurt]

I got to the third to last level of Path of Radiance and then just stopped. I should finish what I started.

You definitely should, especially since finishing those three levels will mean you can import your data into Radiant Dawn.

[Juice_Lee]

Eeee...I don't know if I will end up getting Radiant Dawn. I'm kind of preoccupied with other games right now, and if I buy anything new (not likely, at least for a while), it will be Okami.

[Mendez]

I started Pikmin the other day. I only ever got to about day 15 the first couple of times but I'll finish it this time.

[SegaFan]

I'm currently playing Virtua Quest, a game I couldn't find much information about even though it's in the Virtua series and (supposedly) developed by Sega AM2. I wanted to try it for myself to see why it wasn't more popular, so I bought it cheaply. It's an action/adventure/platform game with some RPG elements, a bit like Shenmue or Yakuza but not quite the same (and not as good!). If AM2 did develop it (I'm having some doubts because their name isn't on the box) it's not up to the usual standard from them, but it is growing on me the more I play so I'll let you know what I think when I've finished it. Has anyone played or heard of it?

[Monteblanco]

I'm also play the Wind Waker. Best Zelda game IMO.

Couldn't agree more. I am playing Wind Waker right now and I think it is the best game in the series.

[Jay]

Just purchased Resident Evil 2 for gamecube and so far it's not as great as I remember from the ps1 days.

[d.vader]

I can't believe no one has said Star Wars: Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader.

[Armstrong]

Animal Crossing
( Waiting for Wii release )

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance
( I started playing this again hoping to beat it before I decided to buy Radiant Dawn but I ended up buying Radiant Dawn on an impusle buy one day when I was at the mall. So now I am slowly going back and forth between the two. )

[Phantom]

I dont play GC games that often now but at the moment its "Skies of Arcadia: Legends"

[coire]

Still playing Ikaruga. That game is still great.

[max herman]

Ditto! So far I have clocked up 118 hours- all games should have that
feature... I wonder if it is the longest amount of time I have devoted
to a game. How far can you get on a single credit? I'm currently reaching
Chapter 4-2 but it gets way too complicated inside the core with all the
lasers and whatnot!

Given the upcoming Wii drought, I think I should start on some of the
GC games I bought at Christmas(!)... probably Pikmin 2 and Skies of Arcadia.

-m.

[charger_21]

well after SSBB i dont play melee anymore but paper mario TYD i still play occasionally and its still pretty fun, and SMS i still play i havnt beat it yet, also metriod prime because its the 2nd best game 4 gc i mean its really really fun

I just beat trial mode on 1 credit. Last week I beat up level 3 on one credit, but it was my first time seeing level three, so I couldn't progress any further. Still, I'm chipping away at it.

[stucopping]

Bought Baiten Kaitos after xmas but have been way to busy with VC and my wii games to give it a look in (and being from the UK that been without Brawl and Mario Kart, although I now have the latter) however booted it up for the first time last week and cant put it down. Oh and playing F Zero GX in boughts in between.

[Jupiter Adept]

I'm playing Viewtiful Joe, and there are some I'm still looking for. Also, I think I'll restart Tales of Symphonia soon.

[Knuckles-san]

I always play through Starfox assault when iam bored, love that game

[iNma]

Still playing Metroid Prime 2 and Zelda: WW. ON top of that, SSX on Tour and Wave Race Blue Storm get the occasional spin in the old Wii.

Played the original Metroid Prime to death now, and none of the old uni mates are here for beer- and banter-fuelled sessions of Soul Calibur II.

I keep promising myself to go back and play Eternal Darkness from the beginning, and to finally finish everything in F-Zero GX, but it doesn't happen. Mario Kart: DD hasn't seen much action since the DS and now Wii versions came out, which makes me guilty since I'm one of the few people who really liked it.

Maybe I'll go and play it now.

[coire]

Here's an update on my Gamecube playings:

Just completed Super Mario 64 with 71 stars, and I'm close to getting 120 in Galaxy. I oredered Sunshine last Christmas, and I've been saving it for when I get those outta the way.

Still playing Ikaruga. Still loving it.

Haven't played Windwaker since before February I'd say. I needa get back to that, so I'll probably look at it again after exams.

My recent interest in shmups has led me to look for the best of GameCube shmups. Because Radirgy is being released on the Wii in the Milestone Shhoting Collection, I want to pick it up in that Iteration. However I have been looking for A Japanese Import copy of Shikigami no Shiro II. I know where I can get the Special Edition for £40, but I'd rather get the regular edition, too bad its out of stock everywhere, so I might have to buy the 'Special Edish'. First things first, I should probably get my hands on a GameCube Freeloader. And a Wii Freeloader for The MSC and Shikigami III. I wanna try to get the US version of Shikigami no Shiro III. Does anyone know if a US edition of Shikigami no Shiro II was released for the GameCube and if so, link on where to buy?

Got Alien Hominid on the GBA. It's really good. I would look into the GameCube version, but because I DO have an Xbox and it IS on XBLA, well, y'know...

And last but now least; I've been meaning to pick up a Thrustmaster VC controller for my Wii. Its supposed to be a good Wavebird substitute, and my current controller is a bit... wired. My seating apparatus is too far away from my Wii for the lead to reach (or even for the sensor bar to work properly) so a nice wireless GameCube controller would be great. Now that I mention it, I need a better sensor bar, with a further range... Any suggestions?

That's all for my GameCubings as of late.

[Tull]

Know PS2 have US/Pal releases.
If it helps.

Better LED's.
Random product fom Google Nyko: Wii Wireless Sensor Bar (http://www.amazon.com/Nyko-87005-Wii-Wireless-Sensor/dp/B000LFJNG6).

Thanks, I think I'll keep looking for a GameCube copy of Shiki II from Japan.

As for the Sensor bar, that Nyko one did get great reviews from Screwattack, so perhaps it would be a good investment. I'll look for one in the UK.

[Jogurt the Yogurt]

Can't you use that wireless one to double-up sensor bars and increase the range?

[coire]

Perhaps...

But I'd prefer to get a standard wired sensor bar with a better range, because although Wireless does sound convienent, they use batteries and so I might end up spending more in the long run.

[ZueriHB]

If your Wii Remotes are still running on batteries too, consider to get recheargable ones.

On Topic: I got me Star Soldier for GameCube, and play it in tandem with Star Solder R on Wii.

Star Solder on GameCube is a remake of the NES original with 3D graphics and sounds, also featuring some changes and updates in the gameplay.

First time I've heard of it, let us know what it's like.

[coire]

Actually, for my Wiimotes, I use the Joytech Charging stand. It sounds good to get a wireless sensor bar from Nyko, but I just needa know what type of batteries they use and how many. I've looked on google and some pages are listing it as AAA some are listing it as AA... Anyone know which is correct?

[ZueriHB]

As I have one of those Nyko Wireless stuff, it uses AA, the same as Wii remotes and GBAs.

[Tull]

Can't you use that wireless one to double-up sensor bars and increase the range?

Im no scientist, but think it will see beams off different strengths.

[stucopping]

Booted up Luigi's mansion 2 days ago and am busy playing through that.

Have recently bought Baiten Kaitos but have barely scratched the surface and have also been playing F-Zero GX in anticipation for the Wii entry, whenever that see's the light of day

[FalloutBR]

Just got Mega Man Anniversary Collection yesterday, I really love it! Sure, it's not GC exclusive, but still a great compilation of Mega Man games, especially while we don't get Mega Man games on the US VC! This time I'll beat Mega Man 2, I've never been able to do it on the 3 day rental on the NES ;).

As for a real GC game, I've almost finished Metroid Prime, I'll try finishing it this weekend so I can start playing Metroid Prime 2. I already own Metroid Prime 3, I REALLY want to play it, but not before finishing these two!

Last GC game that I finished was ... hmm... I'm pretty sure it was Freedom Fighters, great little game, though the graphics look really bad by today's standards.

[RichWalker]

Just started replaying SSBM from scratch... getting in practice for the release of Brawl.... Why'd everyone else get it before us (sob)

[FalloutBR]

Well, finished Mega Man 2, 3 , 4 and 5 in the Mega Man Anniversary Collection, and also finished Pikmin 2, which I never got to do it... now I bought some used copies of Zelda: Wind Waker, PN 03 and Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance. I got PN 03 basically to collect, since I don't really like the gameplay (and I just paid 4 US$ :P) . I already started playing Wind Waker, and so far it's a really great game, I love it. And Dark Alliance I played for about half an hour and set it aside, I'll invite a friend in the weekend and we'll try to finish it during the weekend.

[Fierce_Deity835]

I'm playing F-Zero GX right now.

[Yossarian]

Killer 7 when I get the time, and just finished Eternal Darkness. Fantastic games.

[ROB64]

I've just recently started to get into playing Zelda; I'm playing Wind Waker right now.

[Mickeymac]

I'll be playing Starfox Adventure when I'm done here, and possibly some Super Mario Sunshine.

[Yossarian]

Beyond Good and Evil. I'd heard good things about it but could never really get that enthusiastic about it. I've rented it and I love it. It is all manner of awesomeness and has plenty of atmosphere and attention to detail. Superb.

[digiki]

I got Soul Caliber 2 yesterday so I'll be playing it real soon

[shippelton]

Soul Calibur 2, second play through of Twilight Princess, and Megaman anniversary collection
