I second that, it's the only game I'll miss when I sell my GameCube.

Resident Evil


Nah, I'm only joking (obviously), perhaps the Monkey Ball games would be suited to her.

Double Dash is the best choice out of the current crop.

You might want to look into Mario Party 5 (released December 5th) if you think she'll be playing multiplayer - otherwise it's probably best to leave it. Super Mario Sunshine is a brilliant platformer, but rather tricky in places - I'm not sure how it would suit a seven-year-old. Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg & Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc aren't quite as good, but may be more suited to that age demographic.

Doshin the Giant might be quite fun, but if you can import Animal Crossing from Australia that would be even better. It's a simple, yet compelling 'life' game that unfortunately won't arrive in Europe. It will be released in Australia shortly, and an Australian copy will work fine on a European GameCube.

Tony Hawk's Underground (released 14th November), F-Zero GX and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker are all games that everyone seems to enjoy but, again, I'm not entirely sure they would be suited to a 7-year-old girl. You may need to look into this yourself.

Hope that helped.

Super Mario Sunshine is always good, and now it can be found for under £20 as well. That would be a good option.

Then there's games like Super Monkey Ball 2 and Pikmin which are a lot of fun. Both of them can be found cheap as well.

What kind of games do you allow her to play? 3+'s include Mario Kart, f-zero (I think) and zelda.

Possibly zelda, and if you ever had a mega drive and she played all the classic sonic games, i would tell you to get her them, and welcome to the forums :p
