"best games for the gamecube"

I have the gamecube on order but what are the best games to go for on the gamecube apart from smash brothers as I have this on order as well.

Super Smash is amazing,well done.

I reckon the other big launh titles are:

LM : Fun, but quite short

Pikmin : A great game for RTS fans.

SMB : Great fun single and multiplaying too.

Rogue Leader : Nice to play, good fun, but occansionaly suffers huge slowdown, although this isn't a big problem.

The games I would go for at launch would be:

Star Wars Rogue Leader
Wave Race Blue Storm
Luigis Mansion
Super Monkey Ball
Star Fox Adventures (If its a launch title)!!

Mario Sunshine and wave Race, the two games I would REALLY love to play...
But not sure if its worth buying a console for...

Game too look out for I would say are

Resident Evil
Dinosaur Planet
Rogue Leader
Tony Hawks 3
Wave Race Blue Storm
Kameo Elements of Power
Turok 4
SSB Melee
ISS 2
Animal Forest
Pikmin
Mario Sunshine
Sonic Adventure 2
Eternal Darkness
Metroid

They all should be coming out in 2002, there's quite a few more as well. But me thinks those titles should keep you busy for a while.

Luigi's Mansion -- Quite good, fun to be had. Nice little quirks. Short lived, but fun.
Wave Race: Blue Storm -- Again, quite good. I'm playing this at the moment myself and I'm enjoying it.
Starfox Adventures -- Haven't played it yet since it isn't out till April I think.
SSX Tricky (untill 1080 comes out!) -- Avoid, it's worse than the PS2 version with horrendous slow-down to boot.
SSB Mélee (as you said) -- Not for me this one, but each to their own.
ISS 2 (if it is a launch title?) -- Again, haven't played it yet, but if it's anything like Pro Evo, it'll rule.
Simpsons' RoadRage (if it is a launch title?) -- Not played this one either, nor do I have the inclination too.

I reccomend these from the possible launch titles:
Luigi's Mansion
Wave Race: Blue Storm
Starfox Adventures
SSX Tricky (untill 1080 comes out!)
SSB Mélee (as you said)
ISS 2 (if it is a launch title?)
Simpsons' RoadRage (if it is a launch title?)

These games should keep you busy untill around x-mas time at least, when we can expect the like of Turok Evo., Perfect Dark Zero and Mario Sunshine!
No, I haven't played any of these games, but from what i've heard and read they are some of the best, and are the ones i'll probably try and get.

Super Monkey Ball. Enough said.
