I'd like some opinions on these supposedly good Gamecube games

[Geno]

Yes, I'm sure you could find something, but most likely not enough to convince me to get a new console.

And honestly I like almost every type of game other than sports and generic war shooters. Adventure, RPG, and platformer are probably my favorite three though.

But that doesn't mean I want to shell out cash for a 360 or a PS3.

Get a 360 for $250
The 360 is becoming the new RPG console, and alot of platformers are on it. You really should get one.

Do I seem like I want to pay $250 for a console right now?

You haven't played Viewtiful joe, or any of the POP trilogy games yet?

You sir, should go to hell.

But yes Viewtiful Joe is fantastic as will as POP

I borrowed Battalion wars from a friend, it was pretty fun, I like Battalion Wars 2 for Wii as Well.

Viewtiful Joe is one of the only games I have replayed nearly 100 times on the Gamecube, and I do not replay games, so that says something.

[Samus Aran]

Definitely get Pikmin 2.

it's so expensive

would you say it's better than the first one (which i heartily enjoyed, by the way)

Sell your Wii

Isn't this thread about your parents buying you games or something? Have them help you out with getting spare cash for a system and buy it used if you must. With the Xbox 360's RPG collection building up (Plus it has Lost Odyssey which is a amazing RPG worth buying a system for), the amazing Arcade, and since you're a fan of Rare you should try out their newer games which are all at a very low price. Not to mention Banjo Kazooie 3 is going to be $40, and if you pre-order and buy you get a code for the Banjo Kazooie XBLA remake two weeks before the release on arcade.

PS3 right now is more on shooters which I'm not sure where your opinion on that stands, but there are some pretty amazing shooters like Warhawk and Ratchet and Clank Future you would enjoy. Plus with Little Big Planet and a building up variety of games in the future with free online play you would love the PS3 as a cheap console.

Not forcing you to buy the consoles since it's up to you to get whatever you want but I think you would really like the 360 or PS3 at this time in their life span.

But if not then I would recommend the original Pikmin and Pikmin 2 to buy since's they're both amazing, plus Viewtiful Joe is pretty sweet.

Viewtiful Joe - Fun, but hard
Eternal Darkness - Sucks
Pikmin 2 - Awesome
Baten Kaitos - okay, good for gamecube rpg standards I guess

I liked Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles more than Batan Kaitos.

Yes, I found Pikmin 2 for ~$13 and swiped it up.
