DO NOT get one just for Star wars, its not worth it. I am pretty bored of my GC already, to be honest, I prefered the XBOX (due to Halo). Anyway, I\'m returning my GC tomorrow, mainly cos I bought it to share with my gf, and yous know what happened there.....

There\'s plenty of games coming out later this year.  Resident Evil 0, Super Mario Sunshine, Eternal Darkness, Metroid Prime, Zelda, 1080, Star Fox, and more.  Pay attention to Nintendo at E3 if you\'re interested in the Gamecube\'s games.

I personally enjoy Wave Race and SSBM but I\'m not everyone.  StarWars is good but don\'t buy a GC for just it.

I personally enjoyed Pikmin.  If you like those types of games, get that.  Otherwise, there are definitely some great games coming out later this year.  Then again, I chose to get a GC instead of a PS2, so of course I\'m going to endorse it.

I don\'t own one personally, but my friend bought a GC and says Pikmin is really fun.

I\'m currently digging Resident Evil, but before I\'ve had a lot of fun with Star Wars, Super Monkey Ball, Smash Bros, Pikmin, and SSX Tricky.

I also enjoyed Wave Race, but didn\'t get into it as much as the original.

Coming up a month from now is Eternal *drool* Darkness.  To be followed, of course, by Mario, Metroid, Star Fox, Zelda, Resident Evil 0, PSO, Mario Kart, 1080, F-Zero, etc. etc.

Hell, there\'s even a rumor of a Golden Sun for Gamecube some day.  That will no doubt rock.

Namco announced a couple RPGs, too, just the other day.

If you have the cash to spend, buy one.  I did.

You can\'t go wrong with Pikmin, Resident Evil, Super Monkey Ball, Super Smash Bros Melee, Sega Soccer Slam..

Well, I could keep going.

A lot of GCN\'s multi-platform games (like NBA Street) are better than their PS2 counterparts.

How do you know Pikmin doesn\'t appeal to you? Its another of Miyamoto\'s greats and there are a lot of people waiting desperately for Pikmin 2 (myself included). If you still don\'t like it, you can\'t go wrong with Mario, Zelda, Star Fox, Perfect Dark, Resident Evil, Eternal Darkness, Mario Kart, etc. (none of which are on the PS2).

Check out the topic that mm started (he actually liked pikmin).

its realy good
[Jims dads voice from American pie 1 & 2]

but like most things in life its better with someone else

its like batting a tennis ball against a wall, it might be fun..but after a while it would be better if you could find someone toreturn the favour

Yeah, that is true. Super Monkey Ball 2 is going to have a lot more mini games from what I heard. Although I liked SMB, I found I got bored of it pretty quickly, but thats just me. Try it and see what u think. You could always buy one and return it under EB\'s 10 day returns policy, thats what I\'ve just done

You say "is that it??" and what not, because you have no freaking clue on how deep and addictive each mini-game in Super Monkey Ball is. And as for starting at the beginning of the game, the point is to get better and better. There is no storyline or what not. You just keep perfecting your skills. That\'s the point.

As for the comment about most the GC games are out on the PS2....Is Pikmin, RE1 remake, SSBM, WaveRace, StarWars:RS2, Luigi\'s Mansion and the list goes on, on the PS2? NO.... If you want exclusive first party titles and some killer third party titles (RE0!!!) then the GC is a good choice.

Has anyone heard any more news about the VF RPG coming to GC? We had a big argument about it a few months ago wether it would be kiddie or not and I havent heard about it since.

Does this have to continue...:( :mad:

Oh well... Eternal Darkness, Lost Kingdoms, Resident Evil series, Perfect Dark, etc. are coming out exclusively for the GC. What more do you want (I didn\'t include sports or other genres because I didn\'t know exactly what you meant by "adult")?
