[@Jack_80]

gamecube has the best visuals of that generation for sure. there are one or 2 xbox games, like panzer dragoon orta that surpass anything on the gamecube visually, but the gamecube just has so many visually amazing games that still hold up today. metroid prime for instance still looks better than half of the new games coming out imo, higher polygon counts do not automatically equal better visuals. the artistic style is more important.

GameCube had amazing graphics for its time

[@funtikthewobblycat]

The thing is: Gamecube didnt have a big range of games like the ps2, but most of the games where very polished (like all Nintendo first party games today). There was so much shit on other consoles, especially the ps2.

[@NYCJoeBlack]

Martin Alvarado - The GameCube Nintendo has the ability to pass 8, yes, 8 different texture passes at one time whereas the XBOX, I believe, can do just 6 at a time and the PS2 doing even less. Another ability that the GameCube does really well us lighting effects and shadows... mulch better than what was seen in the PS2. So for that generation, it goes like this... XBOX>GC>PS2>Dreamcast I LOVE the GameCube for all that it could do, plus the ability to communicate with the GBA and an accessory that allows you to play GB, GBC, and GBA games. The GameCube is right up there with the NES, SNES, N64, N3DS, DS, PSP, XBOX 360, and PS3 as my all time favorites.

[@NYCJoeBlack]

ed champagne - A couple of reasons is that it came with a built in DVD player and it had Final Fantasy VII/Metal Gear. Plus, Microsoft came into the game to introduce console gamers to gaming online with their leading franchise, Halo. It was these instances that affected Nintendo mostly. The GameCube is a much better console than the PS2 (fact) and is a little underpowered when compared to the XBOX.

[@NYCJoeBlack]

ed champagne - GameCube Nintendo is a more capable console than Sony’s PS2 and that’s a fact. I used Microsoft’s XBOX as a reference to where the GameCube stands as far as being powerful in that generation.

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.

[@tcrpgfan]

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.

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 use to look forward coming home from school just to play Super Mario Sunshine I wouldn't even do my homework lol

[@cuphead7100]

I see you too are a person of refined taste

[@brandontaylor9760]

Paper Mario?

[@skycloud4802]

I think Resident Evil Remake, Rogue Squadron, N4SU2, and Skies of Arcadia are worth a mention. Really good games.

[@ScottLewisMusic]

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.

[@7eonardo2]

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.

[@fallenafterling4128]

7eonardo2 Help me make Baten Kaitos known to the world.

[@fmixthings]

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.

[@TheAccountification]

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.

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.

[@LtFred]

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.

[@IJOLightningrod]

I LOVE that game

[@corn6723]

Freddie Cherry I just happen to agree ;)

[@Spinner891]

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.

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

[@chikinonfrydai]

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.

[@chikinonfrydai]

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.

STARTAN TOTAL WARRIOR IDC WHAT U SAY

[@MyRegardsToTheDodo]

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.

[@mathprodigy]

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

[@Chris-ql9bu]

There are still 2 exclusive Star Wars Games, 2 Star Fox Games and for sure Metroid Prime 2!

[@JBordini1]

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

[@mkmclm1]

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

[@tcrpgfan]

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.

[@fuzzydreem]

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

[@andrewtyrell4795]

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.

[@DoctorFalchion]

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.

[@ginosanchez3775]

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

[@andrewtyrell4795]

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.

[@Stathio]

For me, glaring omissions are Killer7, Tales of Symphonia, Chibi-Robo, Viewtiful Joe, the Resident Evil remake (you break your rules loads- it at least deserves a mention, even if Resident Evil 4 really deserves the spot for being a Gamecube original... at the time) and Donkey Kong Jungle Beat (underrated as hell, whether you use the bongo controller or not it's still a fantastic platformer)
