Top 20 Gamecube Games Still Available for Under $20 in 2021 | GameCube Galaxy

For the first video of GameCube Galaxy, I cover my personal top 20 games I recommend people add to their GameCube library for under $20 each. Now, the prices are based on Pricecharting's data when I recorded this on April 8th, and with GameCube being a hot market right now, prices change quickly. I hope you guys enjoy this first video and please subscribe for future GameCube related content planned for the channel!

Would like to see more videos on affordable GameCube games more often. Especially with prices increasing for them.

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Oh definitely! I’ve been meaning to do a follow up to this video with more current pricing. I’m trying to plan one for the near future 👍. Thanks again for checking out the video and providing that feedback!

[@SpiffyGiraffeCreations]

I really wish Nintendo and other companies would bring back some of these series. Gamecube is hands-down my favorite console ever. So many memories. I have been playing Everything or Nothing recently. Classic.

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

100% agreed! The GameCube is such a phenomenal system, and that's part of what I'm trying to showcase through the channel. Trying to really do the system justice and show people how awesome it is! Also, Everything or Nothing is definitely a classic! Easily the best Bond game for the GameCube, and its up there with Goldeneye 007 as my favorite Bond game ever made. Thanks for checking out the video!

[@yonkersfinest88]

Loved the opening music from the RE safe room :). This was a great video of good memories from one of the best generations of gaming consoles and from my favorite console that generation. The footage of GameCube games looked great and did not age bad.

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it (and picked up on the RE0 Save Room theme)! GameCube truly was a phenomenal console that is very underappreciated.

[@derekdew24]

Great video! Picking up beach spikers, wave race, xg3 racing, and espn winter sports.

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Glad you enjoyed the video and found some quality titles to pick up on the cheaper side!

[@RetroWolf88]

Loving this video so far! About halfway through it going to finish tomorrow. As a GameCube Mega fan I am definitely subscribing and hitting that notification!

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Wow, thank you!! I’ve subscribed to your channel as well, especially seeing the amount of GameCube videos you posted that I have to check out! 👍

@@GameCubeGalaxy oh yeah I do a lot of GameCube videos among other things. 🤜🤛🍻

[@DanofWar101]

Even after 6 months, this list still holds up regarding prices with some exception if course with the market that is still out of control! I've never heard of Smashing Drive and Beach Spikers but I'll be adding them to games I need to get! Need for Speed Underground is a fantastic game and is also my favorite game in the entire series! Great video and keep up the good work!

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Glad to see that many values hover roughly in the approximate area all these months later! Smashing Drive and Beach Spikers are definitely games to nab now while they're on the more reasonable price side! Need for Speed Underground is one of the best racing games on the system, and I agree with you...the best in the entire series! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@dvdknight1]

Great first episode, great GameCube list, I will definitely buy a few of these, thanks.

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Dave Mirra bmx 2 is one of my favs on the Gamecube; Runs perfectly, great controls, awesome maps and variety. Deff my fav out of the very few BMX games there are, lol.

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Agreed! Such an awesome game, and easily my favorite BMX game. Thanks for checking out the video!

Good vid, I’m gonna have to track down smashing drive, looks fun

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Thanks! Smashing Drive is definitely a fun, guilty pleasure game for me. It’s gone up a bit since this video (roughly $18-20 now), but still a really fun one to have in the collection. 👍

[@ScorpioCesarcade]

Very helpful list GCG, ended up picking up a few of these thanks to your suggestions. Smashing Drive was one of them, that soundtrack…maaaan 😂

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Glad you found some more games to nab! Which other ones did you get aside from Smashing Drive (which is such a guilty pleasure of mine lol)?

[@ScorpioCesarcade]

I currently have XG3 on the way. One of my earliest memories was playing that on the PS2 with my bro in law so I had to nab it again. Also hunting down the Prince of Persia trilogy for GameCube specifically along with 1080 Avalanche.

[@TigerChainsawVideoGames]

Out of these games that you recommend... I don't have the following in my collection: Smashing Drive, King Kong, Beach Spikers, and Wave Race. The rest I have already or are on another system. Awesome video though, I definitely want to pick up the ones you recommended that are still somewhat affordable because like you said, GameCube games have skyrocketed!

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Thanks for checking out the video (the one that all started the channel lol)! Definitely recommend nabbing those sooner rather than later, as I’ve been seeing Smashing Drive go for $20 now (but you may be able to still nab it for cheaper). GameCube games really have skyrocketed in price within the past 2 years. Glad you enjoyed the video and the recommendations!

[@mikeengland80]

Great vid. Love the gamecube.

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video! I’m planning on doing a follow up to this video in the near future based on 2022 prices 👍

[@PrinsessePeach]

I thought that Luigi’s Mansion must b on this list, it’s my only GameCube game and I was convinced it must be under 20$, but I was shocked to see the Players Choice at just over 64$ CIB. 🤯

[@PrinsessePeach]

I bought my copy maybe ten years ago for 5$. 🤓

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

I WISH I could’ve put Luigi’s Mansion on this list! Sadly that is still sitting in that $50+ range CiB. Glad you snagged your copy for $5 back then though! Thanks for checking out the video!

[@TraitorPotater]

I remember going to Target as a kid after the GameCubes life cycle and seeing all the best games for the system on the shelf for $10-$15. Now as I go back and try to collect them, people want $80-$200 for a game that’s in good condition. Really should have gotten them when I had the chance.

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Oh man, trust me I know the feeling. I could’ve had a complete GC collection for a fraction of the price had I jumped on them when they were dirt-cheap. I plan on doing a follow up video to this very soon show more games you can still get for under $20 in 2022 👍. Thank you for checking the video out!

[@samuelc6246]

Second sight was love at first sight for me. The story, gameplay, animations, art style, music, all of it. 1080 is just amazing. I don't know what their prices are right now, but I feel like Freedom Fighters and Hitman 2, as well as Rainbow Six 3 and Splinter Cell Chaos Theory should have remained under 20 and are very much worth checking out in my opinion.

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Second Sight is such a great game! It’s such a shame that many people missed this game completely. 1080 Avalanche really is an awesome game! I believe the titles you mentioned are still under $20. I’m actually thinking of revisiting this covering 20 more (different) titles you can still get for under $20 👍. Thank you again for checking out the video, and the support!

[@GiSWiG]

SSX 3 was so awesome! I played it on XBOX but if you only have access to a GC, and want the real deal, it's definitely worth the price even if it's $30. It is not backwards compatible on XBOX past the OG XBOX so either get a physical copy of either XBOX, GC or PS2 or emulate.

I just got back into GameCube an only have 3 games, Pikmin 2, Double Dash, & Windwaker. The damn prices are slowing me down 😢

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Nice! While the prices can be steep depending on the games, it's still possible to nab quality games for reasonable prices. I even did another video more recently about 6 GameCube exclusives you can get for under $100 total if interested! Thanks for checking out this video!

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

At the time I recorded this in April 2021, they were all CiB prices 👍. Now several of these have gone up since then, but several have stayed in the same price range as well. Hope this video highlighted some games to get on the cheaper end!

Dude Prince of Persia: Sands of Time was so hard as a kid, I hated it. Really cool concept though with all the time control features and parkour. Was ahead of it's time in that aspect, but damn the difficulty man. (っ◔◡◔)っ or maybe i just sucked at video games...

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Man, I loved PoP: Sands of Time. That game surprised me to how engrossing it would be. It was challenging but I never found it too hard (at least not till towards the final moments of the game). It’s a game that really was ahead of its time (and also back when Ubisoft made more original games/experiences lol). Thanks for checking out the video!

[@ThreeMusketeersGaming69]

@@GameCubeGalaxy Yea it was definitely ahead of it's time, I'll give it that. Perhaps had I been older it wouldn't have been so hard lol

[@kdkseven]

Wave Race Blue Storm is loads better than Wave Race 64. 64 is just too slow and floaty. Blue Storm is so fast and responsive, with super tight controls. I suppose 64 would be better if you just want a more basic, arcady racer, but if you really want to get into learning the courses and mastering the controls, Blue Storm is where it's at. Plus, the graphics still look amazing on a modern display, and the music is cool.

[@bradpruitt896]

I used to fav the OG Xbox but now it's GCN believe it or NOT my fav game on GCN is Splinter Cell it's way underrated for GCN...STILL cheap buy it!!! Also I cant agree more with Wave Race & 1080 for GCN still amazig games!!!

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

The OG Xbox had some great games too! Glad to hear how much the GC grew on you! Splinter Cell was awesome, and I loved using the GBA connected to the GC as an additional radar for the game. Wave Race and 1080 you can never go wrong with! Thanks for checking out the video man!

I hate on this console, but only because I want to beat myself up because I have ZERO games for it and the only one I did have, I sold somewhere down the line for very little. That game was a complete copy of F-Zero GX. I will never get to play it again. RIP

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

Oh man, I’m sorry to hear you sold your F-Zero GX CiB copy. That’s one of my favorite GC games (and probably my favorite racing game of all-time)! Thanks for checking out the video!

@@GameCubeGalaxy you have no idea how much that game means to me. I don’t even know what I did with the money I got or where I brought it to. All I know is I picked it up used for $39.99. Odds are I will never be able to afford a copy again at this rate.
