Top 10 GameCube Games of All Time

[@IGN]

This is just a partial list of the best GameCube games of all time. Head over to www.ign.com/articles/the-best-gamecube-games-of-all-time for the complete list.

[@markomarinic3073]

I can't remember the Name of the Game, but i still know 1 Gamecube Game that could be easily in the Top 5 here in the List. It was a Everyone Vs Everyone Game with Cars and such and the Maps had Traps to activate to destroy your enemies and Weapon Boxes like Mario Kart and if hit hard enough you could grow each other over the whole map. And the Art Style was somehow Cartoon....ish and every Character had his own special Weapon. There were Baseball Bats and Saw Blades and so on. And even i can't remember it, i played the Half of the Games in this List and can say it can easily compete with alot of them.

[@zackmose]

Neither Super Monkey Ball even cracked the top 25????? WHAT

[@daiviera9569]

Lmao no Luigi’s mansion? Big fail boys. That game was easily top 3. And Metroid prime: echoes was heads and shoulders better than the original. One of the hardest boss fights ever against Boost Guardian as well. Two Zeldas games and no Luigi’s Mansion? Rogue squadron better than double dash. Terrible. 😂

[@ikproductions9433]

Star Wars Bounty Haunter

[@PrinsaVossum]

No Paper Mario: TTYD?

[@VanceWeebin]

They also didn’t show Luigi’s mansion what the hell

[@Armedvulcanstorm48]

NO F-ZERO GX!?! best racing game on GC forget double dash. GX was a cutting edge, brutal masterpiece of extreme adrenaline.

It's the right direction for the series to go in, I stand by that claim. SF:A wasn't executed the best, though.

Yes. Metroid Prime is the best game ever made so it goes without saying it should be the number one GC game.

You absolute bunch of casuals, how could you lot forget about Eternal Darkness? The game had a fantastic story, lore and VA which was ahead of its time. One of the most mature games Nintendo has ever publish to this day. I think it deserves a spot in anyone's top 10 list of GC games.

I bought the black gamecube that came with the Zelda collectors edition with Zelda 1 & 2, OOT and my favorite Majoras Mask. Also bought it for MGS: Twin Snakes, RE4, RE1 Smash Bros, Wind Waker. I miss the gamecube days.

Nidoqueen106. I can agree on the backtracking moments; most noticeably in Chapter 7. But it doesn't ruined the 95% enjoyment that I had with the game & grinding isn't exactly an problem unless they overdone it; which TTYD didn't. Every RPG games will have those backtracking & grinding moments that never overstates it's welcome ( Though the backtracking in Chapter 7 of TTYD is pointless & padding. ). And those are just minor problems that the positives still outweighted the negatives. No games are perfect. But this is still an well crafted game than you think. No offense.
