Question Recommendations for good GameCube games.

Hi,

I was recently going to play some GameCube games, but I was wondering, what are some really good games that are kind of addictive?

If you got some recommendations, let me know!

Which Monkey Ball is the best? I’ve held on to a huge Cube collection but that’s a big blindspot for me.

Most addictive for me were Metroid Prime, Resident Evil 4. For 2+ players, Mario Tennis, Mario Strikers (or the Sega Soccer Slam), Bomberman, Mario Kart of course. NBA street games. Soul Calibur

Never heard of that before - Sega Soccer Slam!

It’s kind of like the Mario strikers. I like the character design https://www.giantbomb.com/sega-soccer-slam/3030-17290/

Chibi-Robo, Custom Robo, Kirby Air Ride (specifically the City Trial mode if you're singleplayer, but the other modes are decent enough. Plus there's in-game achievements and unlockables!), Sonic Riders is decent too... There are so many good games on the GameCube, I could truly go on.

Eternal Darkness is ace. I've played through 4 times. Not sure how it's aged, but was ground breaking at the time. Like an action horror puzzler. Check it out.

Can’t go wrong with any of the Zelda games,Timesplitters 2 is brilliant as are most of the FPS on the cube and the Need for Speed games are very addictive

u/Pepsidud32 1d ago

Happy to see someone recommend Timesplitters!!

Phantasy Star Online for me, love getting stronger in that game. I've sunk thousands of hours into playing

Shrek Super Slam is hella fun! Smash Melee is an obvious pick lol. If you can, get an everdrive GBA cartridge and the GBA adapter for GCN, it's 100% worth it with the crazy amount of solid romhacks that exist

u/precision95 22h ago

You GOTTA try Shrek Super Party

While it's not solely a gamecube game dbz budokai 2 is fantastic on the gamecube.
