Hey!

I just got a Nintendo GameCube as a present from a good friend of mine- black, mem card, 2 controllers, and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.

My questions: Which are the best games to get?

Here are the ones I'm considering:
- Mario Tennis
- Mario Kart Double Dash
- Zelda WindWaker
- WarioWorld

I also have a Game Boy Advance and Mario, Zelda, and Metroid for it so I'm also kind of interested in games that allow the GBA and GameCube to be linked together.

So what other games should I get?

Baten Kaitos, Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, F-Zero X, Twilight Princess (If you don't have a Wii), Odama, Viewtiful Joe.
That was a joke.

Sonic Adventure 2: Battle and Luigi's Mansion are two games you should look into. I also recommend Kirby's Air Ride, but it's kind of an acquired taste. Don't get it unless you like odd racing games.

You should consider Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and Sonic Adventure DX Director's Cut. If you like Mario Party, there's also Mario Party 4-7 for you to pick from. Hmm...pretty much everything else I thought of was already posted.
We went to see them for the first time in 5 years because they were going away for 3 years.

Whoever said Sonic Adventure DX, ignore them. The glitchiest, headache-inducing game I had the misfortune of playing. SA2:B, not as bad, but beware. Mega Collection and, to a lesser extent, Gems Collection are the best sonic for the 'cube.

Great ones no one mentioned:
Pikmin (haven't bothered with 2)
Soul Calibur II (Skraaa!)
Metroid Prime 1
Animal Crossing

EDIT: Thanks, Warprattler (not really.)

Eternal Darkness: sanity's Requiem
Metal Gear Solid: the twin snake

Both critically acclaimed(but poor-selling) games made by ex-second party developers Silicon Knights. I can't testify to them as I never played them, but I heard nothing but good.

Ikaruga, Published by Treasure. Another critically acclaimed game that flew under the radar. It's top-down shooter like Raiden.

He already has MP2.

Namco Museum (not the 50th Anniversary one, the other one) is pretty good.

Here's a list of the top 10 games you should concider getting.

10: Kirby's Air Ride

9: Star Fox Adventure's (if you can find it)

8: Sonic Mega Collection (great game because it has 7 old classics in it. Only get if you don't already own Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Sonic 3, Sonic & knuckles, Sonic 3D blast. The others aren't to great)

7: Wario World (great game but short)

6: The legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

5: Mario Kart Double Dash

4: Luigi's Mansion

3: Super Mario Sunshine

2: Paper Mario 2: The Thousand Year Door

1: Super Smash Bro's Melee (awesome game recommended to buy. It's both Fighting and Platforming)

That's my list at least. Here's my runner up's

Animal crossing

Mario Power Tennis

The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess (it's in runner ups because it's a little better on Wii then it is on GameCube)

Metroid Prime 1

Pikmin

Chibi Robo

Star Fox Assult

Sonic Gem's

Now I wait for the complaints :)
Time is repeating itself. Why you say? Look at the Wii and NES and you'll know why.

If your a little low on Megaman games, get Megaman Anniversary Collection. Warning: The controls are a tad different than regular Megaman games.

"tad different" = "totally opposite"

Get Alien Hominid.  It worth it just for the PDA GAMES.

Anything made by Nintendo that doesn't have "Pokemon" in the title.

Mega Man X Collection is nice though. It has non-backwards controls.
Boo Dudley for the win with the Ikaruga suggestion. I wish I had that game myself.
That was a joke.

Don't think anyone's said Tales of Symphonia yet. It's pretty awesome, even if it's not GCN exclusive anymore.
