These are my reasons for buying a GAMECUBE. All of the listed games are onew that I REALLY want.

Luigis Mansion
Pikmin
Eternal Darkness
Rogue Leader
Super Monkey Ball
Donkey Kong Racing
The Thing
Skies of Arcadia
Star Fox Adventures
Mario Sunshine
Metroid
Legend of Zelda
Sonic Adventure 2
WWF Wrestlemania 2002

And this list is of titles that I might want, depending upon reviews and others impressions of them.

Bomberman Generations
Wave Race
SSX Tricky
Crazy Taxi
Super Smash Bros
FIFA 2002
Galleon
18 Wheeler
Gauntlet
Legends of Wrestling
Phantasy Star Online
Too Human
Turok Evolution
Animal Forest
Bloody Roar
Soul Calibur 2
Die Hard
Mickey Mouse
The Resident evil series
Dark Summit
1080 GAMECUBE

The thing is, most of the games on my 'must have' list are GAMECUBE only games, I have to have a GAMECUBE to play them.

My second list features some multiplatform titles, which I could also get on the PS2 or Xbox, but those consoles just don't have more than half a dozen games that would make it on to my 'must have' list that won't also be on the 'CUBE.

So that's why the GAMECUBE is the one for me, it's the exclusive games.

I urge everyone else to list 10 (or so) must have games, and 10 (or so) might get games, coming to a console of their choice in the next couple of years.

I have aleady got SSBM which is good. Claimed it for GAD. Very happy about that as I will be able to get another game while buying the console. I odn't know what to get yet.....maybe Rogue Squadron....mind you loads of games have caught my eye.

The latest video of Rogue Squadron really got me excited :-D......must have put the wrong one on by accident :P

I was watching it in amazment as it truely does capture the great atmosphere of the films. I want it lots now, I wasn't too keen on the idea a little while ago really. Strange how much a video can do to you really.

Urgh... Donkey Kong Racing, no, sorry. I just don't see that being fun.

If it is, I'll buy it. But it leaves me open instead for:

Rogue Leader
Mario Sunshine
Metroid Prime
Pikmin
Wave Race
Crazy Taxi
Sonic 2
SUPER MONKEY BALL!!!!11
Mario Kart, bound to be good :0)
Perfect Dark Zero, same
Luigi's Mansion
Eternal Darkness
Super Smash Bros
Zelda
Star Fox Adventures
Resident Evil... one, probably. All of them, eventually. I want a box set.

Those are the ones I REALLY want. Sodding hell, I better get writing. ;0)

ALL of them? You have more money than sense...


My GAMECUBE "MUST's" are:

Smash Brothers Melee
Pikmin

(These two are already secure through SR).

Monkey Ball
Kameo: Elements of Power
Rogue Leader
Donkey Kong Racing
Sonic Adventure 2 battle
Phantasy Star Online 2

They're the definates so far.
There's also a few that I'm certainly looking into:

Eternal Darkness
Wave Race
Soul Calibre
Skies of Arcadia
Resident Evil
Luigi's Mansion


All the must haves are either from Nintendo, Rare and Sega (two of Sega's being GC exclusives).
You can see from Sonic Adventure 2, Phantasy Star, Monkey Ball, Donkey Kong Racing and Smash Brothers that I value multiplayer games.
