Is it worth getting a gamecube if the only game you like on it is mario?  Is mario good enough?

Oh,  so its not worth getting.  Other good titles?  Like Zelda?  One  of the things holdimng me back from gettingone is that the only good game I see it has is Mario.  I dont really like all the mario parties and other mario spinoffs.

For me, Mario Sunshine was good but didn\'t live up to the name.

If you want just one title, maybe look at Animal Crossing.  It\'s not intense, it\'s laid back, but it\'s pretty addicting.

If that\'s too tame for you, maybe give a look to Metroid Prime, Eternal Darkness, or Resident Evil 0.

And get ready, because Zelda is due in March and if you preorder it they throw in an upgraded Cube version of Ocarina of Time.  Guess what game I plunked ten dollars down on today? ;]

I didn\'t know it was upgraded?  Or are you referring to the Ura expansion?

Something tells me that Clowd won\'t be interested in Zelda.... kidie!!1

Depending on the type of games you like, SMS could be considered the best game you play this year.

It\'s an awesome platformer. Not quite as revolutionary (or all-around good) as SM64 was back in 1996, but definitely a must-buy title if you own a GCN IMHO. However, IMO.. it\'s not the best game on the system.

Grab a platinum GCN with Metroid Prime and say goodbye to your social life for a week.. ;)

BTW, there are a pile of good-great-AAA games on GCN now. The aforementioned SMS, Metroid, Animal Crossing, Star Fox Adventures, Pikmin, Super Smash Bros Melee, Super Monkey Ball 1&2, Eternal Darkness, Resident Evil 1&0, Wave Race: Blue Storm, Mario Party 4 and much much more.. nevermind the storm of games coming next year. (among them the 4th "perfect" game to date according to Famitsu, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker)

Damn Capcom...

July 2002: If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. Enron, $16.50 left. Worldcom, $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser beer one year ago, drank it all and turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

Eternal Darkness and Metroid Prime are both better choices than Mario Sunshine. Although (mario) is a great game, ED and MP superior. Smash Bros might also be too. Very underrated. That game is jammed pack with multiplayer options, 300+ trophies to collect, around 15-20 unlockable characters, etc.

RE1 and RE:0 are good choices, if you can bare the terribly outdated controls, slow gameplay, and weak storyline. Star Fox is allright, though sometimes you\'re be sick of collecting items.

I\'m pretty sure he\'s referring strictly to the Ura add-on that was never released in the U.S.  Because, AFAIK, OoT was not upgraded in any way, shape or form.  :)

Updated graphics probably.

And the whole Ura Zelda thing is pretty simple. Its exactly the same as Oot, but the dungeons are different. I don\'t know how much different, but they won\'t be exactly the same as the ones in Oot. I\'ve heard they\'re completely different but I don\'t know.

No, the graphics are exactly the same.  The only difference is that they are apparently a little "cleaner" in the GCN version.

And I think the Ura dungeons are the same as in OoT.

That qualifies as upgraded...

Well you think wrong.

However, in Ura\'s dungeons, items as well as enemies are placed differently, and puzzles are slightly different.

Ow3ned.
