Default What GC Game Are You Playing Right Now?

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?

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.

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.

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.

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
