Hi,i just wanna have your opinion so just read on and write in.
Iīm gonna write a little bit about GameCube titles.
Luigiīs Mansion:
Finnaly someone at Nintendo had courage enough to ask for a Luigi game.And thatīs well i think,because iīm a big Luigi fan.The game would be pretty cool,but in screenshots iīve seen i never seen him walking around on a level,just in the house,maybe itīs a rather small game.But it looks pretty cool.For those who donīt know what it is:itīs a kind of a Ghostbuster game would you should suck up ghosts with a weird machine created by a strange doctor Luigi finds inside a big,scary mansion.
Super Smash Bros Meele:
The sequel to the best beat īem up on Nintendo 64.
With loads of more items,new characters and new 1player modes this will certaintly be one of greatest games to buy with Gamecube.Also,rumour says that Sonic is one of the hidden characters.That would be awesome.
Pikmin:
I got only one thing to say about this game.If you watch the videos at e3īs home site you will think this game looks VERY boring.Itīs Shigsys new winner.Itīs just not good enough.Everyone who has plans to buy this:think about it VERY carefully.
Metroid Prime:
Just what we Nintendo fans have been waiting for so long.Samus is finally back to ī kick some ass.This game would certaintly be one of the winners.
Star Fox Adventures(Dinosaur Planet):
Star Fox & co are back to destroy Andross for good.
This game was originnaly made for Nintendo 64 but Nintendo decided to realease it on Gamecube instead.Finnaly the Star Fox team are back!
Wave race Blue Storm:
With greater graphic and more speed maybe this could be the most popular game in the beginning?
Mickey Mouse:
Another Disney game on a Nintendo console will not hurt but the question is:Will it be so good that people think it will be?Donīt think so.
Kameo:elements of power:
A game that Nintendo havenīt showed so much of,maybe this is Nintendoīs winner.Time will tell...
Star wars:
Looks like Nintendo are copying Platstation and just throws on Star Wars games.Letīs hope it will be as good as Nintendoīs other Star Wars games.
Eternal darkness:
The game Playstation owners says that Nintendo need to keep up with the other consoles are finally here.This game is a terryfying game with a loot of blood and dead bodys all around.Not for the younger players.
Ravenblade:
Another blood game to the Gamecube.The future looks bright...Also not for younger players.
Donkey Kong Racing:
Looks like Diddy & co are back to have some more fun.This time you will not ride cart/hover/plane but you will ride different animals,looks increadibly funny with a great graphic.
NBA courtside 2002:
Well,Gamecube didnīt actually need this but itīs a game where you should slam the ball in the goal.Iīm not a big fan of NBA games though.
So,there we got the games that will be realeased with GameCube.Letīs look at the others.
Zelda GameCube:This game would be great.Itīs said to be twice as big as Ocarina Of Time and also that Ganondorf is the nasty boy(Which you can see on a video on cube.ign).This game will surely be the winner in my eyes and in many other guys eyes too.
After Dark:The sequel to Perfect Dark is said to be realeased on GameCube,but no one knows for sure yet.Letīs just hope it will.
Mario Sunshine:Of course Nintendo had to realease a Mario Game on the GameCube,what would Nintendo be without the plumber.Other Mario game is Marionette and 100 Marios.This should be a volleyball game and a platformer.
There are so many games coming out on GameCube and i doesnīt feel like writing them all,i just wrote the best ones.But what game would you choose.I would choose Zelda because itīs simply the best.But what do you choose.Write in and tell.

Resi Evil Zero won't just be on a train surely.
a train has to stop somewhere.........probably outside some old chemistry lab buliding thingy which holds awnsers to the viruses and homes an outta control bio monster.
lol
I heard that Resi Evil Zero holds the awnsers about the first three Resi games!

Okay, my turn :-)
Here's my thoughts on the games mentioned in the original post:
Luigi's Mansion: Luigi has inherited a house, and it happens to be haunted. So guide Luigi around the house and capture the ghosts, using a vacuum cleaner. This reminds me of Ghostbusters, so that can't be a bad thing! The graphics look awesome, and it sounds delightfully creepy. The control system looks to be rather nifty too, with one stick being used to move Luigi, and the other to aim his vacuum cleaner. As a launch title this looks very promising indeed!
Super Smash Bros Melee: Sequel to the N64 game. This version includes more characters, many more, from the look of things, coming from the past and present of Nintendo, with some obscure characters thrown in too, like the lead character from Earthbound and Pitt from Kid Icarus, all of your favourites are there too, with Mario, Fox, Samus, Kirby and Bowser all included. There are also many more play options, including what looks to be single player platform levels for each character. This should be fast and frantic, especially in 4 player!
Pikmin: Delightfull looking game! Guide your little spaceman around the planet he crashed on and enlist the help of the flower like Pikmin to find the parts needed to put it back together. This is something of a strategy game, with elements of a puzzler too. You have to make the best use of you Pikmin to knock down walls, buildbridges, and defeat enemies. As Shigeru |Miyamoto is behind this one it's bound to be something special.
Metroid Prime: Unfortunatley this won't be available for launch, but it gives us something to look forward too even further into the future! This is a prequel to the original NES Metroid game, so we'll see where the original story came from, with the Metroid and possibly Mother Brain. It has apparently taken on the appearance of a firts person shooter, but as Metroid has never really been about simply shooting enemies, it should make an interesting change. It looks dark, and action packed.
StarFox Adventures: Dinosaur Planet: Originally planned for the N64 as Dinosaur Planet, this game has been given a huge makeover to include characters from the Star Fox universe. It looks to play in a similar manner to the Zelda games on the N64 (which can't possibly be a bad thing.) Fox is also accompanied by a dinosaur buddy, Tricky, so it will be interesting to see how this is implemented into the game. Another question is what it might be called when released here, as therewere problems with the original game, which was called 'StarWing' here, and it's sequel, which we know as Lylat Wars.
Wave Race: Blue Storm: I'm not a big fan of racing games, but this really does look quite breathtaking. The water effects are simply stunning. Let's just hope that this game doesn't lose all of it's speed when converted to the PAL format.
Mickey Mouse: Capcom have been trusted with the valuable Mickey Mouse license, which, given their reputation, can't be a bad thing. It's bound to be aimed at the slightly younger gamer, and looks to be a 3D adventure. As I've only seen 8 seconds of footage, I'm not sure exactly what the game will be like!
Kameo: Elements of Power: To me this looks like Rares version of Pokemon, but for bigger kids! Collect and train monsters, with the ability to then 'possess' your creatures, and take them into battles, fighting in real time battles. The story apparently revolves around a number of elemental children that the hero must find. Again, not due until 2002, but hey, we won't get any games before then anyway!
Star Wars: Rogue Leader: This looks stunning. Almost movie accurate graphics, with the destroyers actually looking to be to scale for once! (They look absolutely massive). As Factor 5 helped to develop the sound features for the Gamecube, they know it inside out, and as a result it sounds perfect. The fabulous Star Wars themes sound amazing, with the ships fire sounding as it should.
Eternal Darkess: This looks fantastic! Another title that was initially meant for the N64, Silicon Knights have taken it, and turned it into something terrifying! Rather than a survival horror, this is a psychological thriller, in which taking care of your mind plays as much importance as taking care of your body. Too many frightening events will push your sanity meter over the edge, and you'll lose all sense of reality. Sounds very promising indeed!
RavenBlade; Hoorah! An RPG on a Nintendo console! They have been too few and too far apart in the past, but the Gamecube lineup looks to be rectifying that! This looks to be your classic RPG, set in a time of dragons and castles, wizards, and warriors. It has an real time battle system, combining weapons with magic, to keep the action flowing think and fast. Another title that won't be ready for launch, but certainly worth the wait!
Donkey Kong Racing: This looks fun! It's taken the 'kart' style racer or 'toy racer' to a new level, allowing you to ride on fish, rhinos, bees, and no doubt more. apparently your animals get bigger (therefore fast) as they eat, with food layed out around the track. Also it is rumoured that within each race you will have to choose different creatures at different stages, and take a number of routes through the race. This will almost certainly be the racer that I'll pick up!
Courtside: I'm not a fan of Basketball, so I'm not too fussed by this title. It does loof impressive though, with shiny courts, and realistic looking players!
Of those other titles you mentioned:
Zelda: It'll probably be late next year, or even 2003 before we get to play this, but it's bound to be awesome. I can't wait to see where Links next adventure will take me!
After Dark: The sequel to Perfect Dark, when it will be released, we don't yet know. Rare are working on it, and when have they ever let us down?
Mario Sunshine: Not much is known about this other than the title. Apparently Mario Sunshine is 'something that will make him/us happy'.
Of these titles I expect to see more after SpaceWorld next month.
Then there are all of the other games coming to the Gamecube. Super Monkey Ball will be a launch title from Sega, with Phantasy Star v2 and Virtua Striker 3 following soon after.
Capcom are working on Resident Evil 0, and it won't be long after launch that it arrives.
Namco will bring fighters to the Gamecube, with Soul Caliber 2 looking a likely Gamecube game.
Dragon Warrior could come to the Gamecube, and it's likey that Final Fantasy XI will be a muliplatform title, including Gamecube.
Too Human is another game full of promise.
In fact there are so many games coming the to the Gamecube, that I don't think I'm ever going to have time to play them all!
Roll on February 2002!

I like train levels. The train level on goldeneye was one of my favourites. It was cool because it had so many doors from which guards could just pop ya from surprise. Think this would be good for a resi game as the zomibes could grab ya!
Are you all forgetting Resident Evil Zero. This game looks excellent and the pictures I saw were only the N64 prototypes now it is on the Game Cube it will look even better. However, the game is set on a train which might limit the game to a small title but I think capcom (as usuall) will move you around like in all of their games
Even though it would be a Pokemon game, imagine the visuals and gameplay!!!!
huh i'm suprsied not to see a pokemon game anounced, youl'd think that would be a priority considering it's popularity.
maybe a full 3D adventure is in store for GC!

also SSX:tricky, which should be out in mid-november in the US so hopefully it will be a launch title for us. 1080 was the only decent snowboarding game on the 64, but now we will have at least two decent ones from the start!
As I have said before Pikmin looks like the kind of game you can get lost in for hours on end!!
Im actually most looking forward to Wave Race - It looks just so amazing, unlike anything ever seen before!! All it needs is an upgrade of the N64 version and its already a winner!! - Definatley one to look forward to, along with 1080 Snowboarding 2!!
