The Game-cube thread

[HatBadger]

There is a lack of Game-cubeness...
I don't know whether there been one already (and it was a fail) or not.
But, I think that there should be one for us peoples who like to keep our gaming... more, on the old-school side of life...if you know what I mean...

So yeah, what do you think??

[Rhiyo]

Don't most just talk about it in the Wii thread?

[HatBadger]

Yeah, mmmmmaybe...
I don't really know, I should have found out first...
Even then, wouldn't that count as some sort of flamming, or spamming, or whatever it's called, off-topic.
It would be easier to have a thread just for the Game-cube... me thinks...

[matt bird]

i agree

time for gamecube thread

gamecube was a cool console

i spent my raging hormonal teenage nights with my trusty gamecube

trying again and again and again to get gold on the all trophy cup in double dash

[the last sheika]

It's actually GameCube, not Game-cube.

Of course, it's actually much closer to a cuboid than a cube, anyway.

[HatBadger]

It's actually GameCube, not Game-cube.


Apologies.

[stav]

yes, lets go all retro

[HatBadger]

Cool...
Umm, how would I be able to make it a "Sticky" ???
Don't I have to ask someone or something...??

[Kaveman]

As the Wii is fully compatable with GameCube games I see no reason for another thread.

mern mern mern I'm Kaveman. I don't see why we can't have another thread though since I've never seen any GC talk in the Wii thread, that said I don't play mine anymore.

Anyway you know a console's good if it has metroid prime.

[waggit]

Standard comment "the wii is a gamecube"...

O...k..., but as I've said already, talking about the GC in the wii thread would be "off-topic"

I agree with JoeG

...no it isn't, you're lying, why you lying, you liar?!?!?

[matt bird]

so who liked luigi's mansion??

[Toph]

If you own a Gamecube, and don't have Chibi-robo, get it.

Now.

[piemastermike]

I agree with JoeG



...no it isn't, you're lying, why you lying, you liar?!?!?

I think you're being offtopic in your own thread. POW.

Also, I like Game Cubes and I have one and a wii and they are both great

p.s. I love super smash bros

[Kaveman]

Also, arm joew arnd evereone tawks liek me doawn Hull.

[Joe G]

I think you missed the point, if people would like to talk about it a separate thread would give a better response.

[matt bird]

If you own a Gamecube, and don't have Chibi-robo, get it.

Now.
i really wanted it but didn't want to spend 40£

now it might get rare like paper mario did cuz it was released right at the end of its life

[Kaveman]

I think you missed the point, if people would like to talk about it a separate thread would give a better response.

Whatever, give it a trial period. See if it lasts.

[the last sheika]

Meh, every console has loads of games right at the end of the console's life that I never get, since it gets very rare before the price for second hand ones drops...

[rubberfishy]

there still a bunch of things I want for gamecube, what's people opinions on:

*viewtiful joe
*metroid prime (or should I jump straight to 3 on the wii)
*f-zero GX (or is the n64 one better?)
*Starfox Assault or Adventures (as I want another starfox game other than the n64 version (even though I know Adventures isn't much of a starfox game.. (wow lots of brackets)))

also I was thinking about getting the gamecube gameboy player.

[Toph]

The Gameboy Player is decent enough, but is more of a novelty. I stopped using it after about 3 weeks tbh.

Plus, they're quite hard to get right now.

[rubberfishy]

ah, cos at the moment I've been trying to play my gameboy under my desk lamp at a jaunty angle and getting a stiff neck.

it must be better than that right?

[CoX]

there still a bunch of things I want for gamecube, what's people opinions on:

*viewtiful joeOne of the best games on the whole damn system. Pick it or the second one up if you can.

*metroid prime (or should I jump straight to 3 on the wii)If you go straight to the third one, you will be a little disoriented after coming back to the first. The first and second are much more exploration based, which personally annoyed me as I wouldn't play it for months then forget where exactly I had to go. Depends what you like in a game though.

*f-zero GX (or is the n64 one better?)GET THIS NOW. For racers on the GameCube, it bends Double Dash over and fucks it right in the arse. Its such a blistering adrenaline rush to play this game and provides hours upon hours of fun.

*Starfox Assault or Adventures (as I want another starfox game other than the n64 version (even though I know Adventures isn't much of a starfox game.. (wow lots of brackets)))Many people hated both, but I had a soft spot for them. I suppose I liked Adventures more because I hadn't played Starfox before and didn't know what to compare it to, so I found it to be an engaging and enjoyable game (if a little easy). Assault is a little short on the single-player side of things, but multi-player is always hellafun.

also I was thinking about getting the gamecube gameboy player.Bit of a novelty really, but if you find one cheap then go for it.

In unrelated news, I played Four Swords Adventure for the first time a couple of weeks ago. It is THE most fun I have ever had in multiplayer, as you constantly teeter between co-operation and fighting each other. You'll be trying to do one puzzle when the guy with the fire wand "accidentally" sets you all alight, sending you all on a 10-minute revenge rampage. Its hilarious.

[Kaveman]

*viewtiful joe YES, it is awesome although hard
*metroid prime I haven't played 3 so I don't know about the story, although MP1 is awesome
*f-zero GX GX is the better one, SERIOUSLY better
*Starfox Assault or Adventures (as I want another starfox game other than the n64 version (even though I know Adventures isn't much of a starfox game.. (wow lots of brackets))) Get LYLAT WARS

[rubberfishy]

I've got Lylay wars, tis awesome.

cheers for the opinions, looks like I'm definitely going to have to get f-zero GX and viewtiful joe then.

[ZekeyLizard]

Mario Kart for the Gamecube was fun, but lame as hell. Slow Karts, bland tracks, uninspired graphics.

F-Zero GX was a masterpiece. Fast and fun and wonderful...and some of the best graphics the Cube pulled off.


Starfox Adventures was..... :/
Starfox Assault was way too easy.

Metroid Primes are always good.

Viewtiful Joe is one of the hardest games ever made in this day and age.


I'd also like to mention a VERY underrated car battling game called Cel Damage. Fantastic physics, and very cartoony Wile E Coyote weaponry made it one of my favorite games. Originally was an Xbox launch title.

[Chris]

I'm sorry but I hate Cel Damage.
Luigi's Mansion was Alright but could've been better.
PAPER MARIO FTW!

[da-geezer]

NHL Hitz 20-03 played like a fucking dream on the GC. The Xbox version was still shit hot, just not quite as magic.

[Jay]

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a85/Jay_61/sms_mcopy2-1.gifThat was my old sig wasnt it! Admit it!!

I just noticed its actually off my Photobucket too!!

[Chris]

It's pretty snazzy.
Putting it to use!
Don't hit me please!

[HatBadger]

I would have to agree with Zekey, Cel Damage is a darn good game indeed.
There are a few annoying bits on a few levels, but for what it is, I recommend getting it...
Is there a Cel Damage 2?? I heard rumors, manyer months ago, that they were going to make one...

[Norbington]

¬.¬

Also, arm joew arnd evereone tawks liek me doawn Hull.

Who is Joew?

[the last sheika]

This thread made me go play F-Zero GX again.

I'm angry because the last level is so hard. At least I got into first place for half a lap once... Then the bad Blood Falcon guy knocked me off the track.

[Kaveman]

Who is Joew?

I'm typing it how he pronounces it.

[HatBadger]

I think Kaveman's jealous of JoeG's accent, that's all :p

[Chris]

You can't beat the Yorkshire Accent.
Cant!

Just Finished Billy Hatcher again, Decent game but not as good as Sunshine.

[the last sheika]

Been playing Lego Star Wars II for most of today, and I've remembered the single reason this game deserves hate.

Who the fuck thought it'd be a good idea to put infinite enemies in every room that features a puzzle that you need to not get hit while you're doing it?

[ZekeyLizard]

Is there a Cel Damage 2?? I heard rumors, manyer months ago, that they were going to make one...

If this happened I would shit my pants so hard, that my rectum would explode out from between my buttcheeks and impale itself on a wall.

[HatBadger]

Would that be a sign of happiness then??
Because, it would be pretty damn good indeed... Cel damage 2.

[Chris]

Cunts

[HatBadger]

I'm sure that if the GC would still be as popular as it is now, that they would keep on making games for it as well as for the wii... good games...
Correct me if I am wrong, please.

[cybus443]

i got a gc i play it every day on :eng101: lotsa games mostly simpsons hit and run

[faragher]

I'm sure that if the GC would still be as popular as it is now, that they would keep on making games for it as well as for the wii... good games...
Correct me if I am wrong, please.They did keep on making games, and even some big licence games for the GC right up to the Wii launch. Unlike the XBOX and the PS, where all the big name games got put back as soon as the new hardware was released to developers.

I have to say that despite its faults, I love Double Dash. And I can't believe that no one has mentioned SUPER MONKEY BALL yet. That game still drives me mad now.

[cybus443]

on double dash best driver is koopa:trex::bb::weebl_lo:

[HatBadger]

^^^
Sorry 'cybus443', once you stop using all the random icons I shall maybe listen to you...
Anyway, aye Faragher, that's one of the many things I love about the Nintendo people and therefore, the one and only GameCube...
I also like the fact that they are all (or nearly all) oriental... sorry to anyone who got offended by me saying this, but you know it's true...sorry again... I just can't stop.

[cybus443]

There's a Doctor Who thread in Meeja (Or however it's spelled).

On topic:
Anyone in the UK want a GameCube screen thing? It works pretty well (Slightly light when you set a game to 50HZ) and the Gaming Swap Shop doesn't seem very succesful anymore. Not Wii compatible, which is why I'm trying to get rid of it...

[HatBadger]

Aye, I would accept it, as I had lost my old one; but you reminded me of it and I went looking for it and found it... sorry:(. But, thank you:).

[HatBadger]

It's nearing Christmas, as you may have noticed, and I was wondering what game to get myself...
I haven't got any sports games, so I was wondering whether anyone knew of any goods ones to recommend...

[the last sheika]

Do Extreme Sports count?

Even if not, get SSX 3.

It's breathtaking.

(That sounded like it should've been a pun...)

[basstard]

Eternal Darknes - hugely underrated, brilliant game. Really screws with your head.

I played for a few hours, cried, then never played it again.

I found it quite meh.

Insanity stuff was pretty interesting and the story was pretty good but everything else was one big meh.

[by crikey!]

i love my gamecube, i've been playing on both my metroid promes for it this week. just finished Thardus on Metroid Prime 1 after a few hours of play, will continue playing later. up to the spider ball guardian on Metroid Prime 2. its a bitch, i've had that game nearly 3 years and i cannot get past that spider guardian. i can do all the way up to it with ease, and then i get up to it, get it down to its last 'hit' where you have to set off all 3 switches and then i die. most annoying boss ever created. :mad:

[sushi.]

Guys I started playing Animal Crossing again.
And now I'm doing things like using multiple characters in multiple towns to collect all K.K. Slider's songs for my main character and using that character's massive bank account to pay off my friend's loan who is also in my town and oh god I must check it every day.

Every.

Day.

I have Resident Evil, Resident Evil Zero, and Eternal Darkness, but I'm scared to play any of them by myself.

I never got past that, either.

yeah, they do:)- thank you!!
Any other ideas anyone???

Also, I think I know what level you're on about, and if my mmory serves me correctly, I did it in my first try... and then couldn't do it again... ever.

[Ringodadog]

In anticipation of Brawl, I've started playing Melee again. Why did I stop? I also have a strange craving to play Mario Sunshine again...

[HatBadger]

I didn't like Mario Sunshine... it just didn't feel right, you know?

[Slurp]

This thread made me go play F-Zero GX again.

I do love F-Zero, still.

So, unless it's something absolutely fantastic you're offering...

I tell ye what, I'll offer the list, you can have a gander and pick out a few and I'll cut you an offer. K?

To be honest (As normally I skate around the subject, mostly I plain LOL C WOT I@M DOING) what you'd need to trade me to get it probably far exceeds its worth.

It wasn't that hard sheika. I remember getting pretty far on it if I remember correctly, some the later tracks are the shit.

I find it ironic that the title of that post was "Crap" when Sonic Heroes is utter shit next to Sonic Adventure 2, and Crap next to Sonic Adventure. I sort of expected a story, rather than "Go through the levels", since I actually quite liked the Adventures' stories.

[HatBadger]

I never had it, but I tried it once at a shop for a few minutes and really liked it... what's wrong with it apart from the lack of storyline??

[Kaveman]

Sonic + 3D....

[the last sheika]

The gameplay was okay-ish, and it had the usual amount of difficulty spikes in areas that shouldn't be hard and dips in places that should, slightly annoying controls, and it just didn't seem as packed as the other 3D sonic games. No matter what you say, you can't deny SA2 as having tons of unlockables.

Basically, it had the okay-ish gameplay of all the other 3D Sonic games without any perks.

[Beef Magic]

Dude, I posted a Gamecube thread a while back. Do you people not know about the search button?

And to all you people saying that Gamecube talk should be put in the Wii thread.. You are fucking stupid.

Would you say that all Playstation talk should be within the same as Playstation 2 because it's backwards compatible? I don't have a Wii, therefore I have no reason to go into the Wii thread. And if I started talking about the Gamecube Resident Evil remake, people will be all like "omg that is not a Wii game, leave now". Wii doesn't have games that can play on Gamecube, so QED.

Anyway. I digress.

Gamecube is alright. Got the Metal Gear Soild remake - Really doesn't work very well.

Resident Evil remake however? Win.

[the last sheika]

The Twin Snakes is the only Metal Gear Solid game I've played, so if you're saying that doesn't work very well, then the others must be great...

I am wondering why there's a Wavebird in the office, when using a Wavebird means you miss out on many features.

Oh, and I've talked about the DS in the Wii thread sometimes, and I haven't been "omg that is not a Wii game, leave now"-ed.

[cyber_turnip]

I just went a bit sick on Super Smash Bros. Melee and finally completed event matches #49, #50 and #51 all in 1 sitting. They've been sat there uncompleted for literally about 5 or 6 years and it's just been bugging me so frankly I really feel quite special now. Especially as I've finally unlocked Final Destination for when my friends come over, shame it's so close to the point where Brawl will be coming out and replacing it as our multiplayer game.

[rubberfishy]

I unlocked everything on ssbm including all the trophies apart from the diskrun trophy, probably the hardest trophy to unlock...

[ZekeyLizard]

diskun will kill your family
STAY AWAY!!!

[the last sheika]

I unlocked all stages and characters, but when my 3rd Party memory card crapped out, I just went and got an Action Replay.

For Brawl, I'll probably just download a save after a few weeks.

Bump! But no need for a new thread. I've been playing my GC recently in my bedroom (360 downstairs). And today I aquired resident evil 0 and 4 cheap and since I already have 1 I should be entertained for a while.
