Certainly, when I bought my GameCube a few months back, I didn't expect to have so many so soon. As a month or two passed, and I became familiar with the release schedule, I predicted I would have 15 games by new year. I'm still more or less on course for this.
If the clone wars is indeed released today, I'll have 11 games. With the other 2 star wars games hot on its heels, it will soon be 13 games in my possession.
However, I've made the decision not to go over 15 games by new year, including new years day (and hence, Metroid Prime!!).
So, to guide my hand, here are the games I have:
Burnout
Super Monkey Ball
Luigi's Mansion
Star Wars: Rogue Leader
Super Smash Bros
Pikmin
ISS2
Super Mario Sunshine
Turok: Evolution
Wave Race: Blue Storm
Add to that the three Star Wars titles, and I have 13 games.
So now I need to choose 1 more (since Metroid Prime will undoubtably be the 15 game) from the following:
Die Hard
Starfox Adventures
Reign of Fire
007: Nightfire
Mario Party 4
Bomberman Generations
Help me out here.

hmmm die hard is meant to have problems, star fox okay but not great, night fire...... if things go the same with EA 007 games whats the point the only game i would get is mario party 4 and a waverbird :D
what about Timesplitters? If not, then Die Hard I'd say
I think Bomberman would be a good idea. Considering it's supposed to have amazing multiplayer and a good 1-Player to boot. I ordered it way back in August.
Why buy a wavebird?
What point is there to this?

Starfox or Mario Party. Depends what you like really.
Mario Party 4 looks the nuts.
I would also recommend timesplitters 2.

Timesplitters really doesn't appeal to me.
Neither does Resident Evil before anyone puts that forward.
And the first person to mention Doshin gets a smack in the teeth.

Starfox wins in the single player department, although if you're a multiplayer fan, Bomberman and Mario Party should be cool.
I know what you mean about not expecting to have so-many games so-soon.
I felt the same way when I first got my Cube back in June. And as I looked at all the future releases planned for 2002 my wanted list compiled from those games was actually only about 10 games, when it's not risen to over 15. I've got about 12 at the moment, and there are at least 5 more that'll be released before the year's out that I'll be getting at one point.
It's mainly down to other people's comments that I have actaully gone out and brought (or won) games like Monkey Ball and Pikmin that I would've otherwise ignored for Luigi's Mansion and Mario SunShine.
I always thought 2003 was gunna be much-bigger, but now I can't really see that happening. Maybe it's too early to tell, but there only really seem to be a few games (like Mario Kart and Zelda) that really stand-out from the rest. And I was so-sure there would be so-many more...
Maybe there will be... Only time will tell.
Oh, and out of the games you mentioned I'd go for StarFox Adventures, definitley, and either Die Hard (released today) or Nightfire to go with it. Those 2 for now, some of the others later. But if you've got friends near you who actually WANT to play GameCubes then you should also get Mario Part 4 I reckon.
I don't know much about the others, but I've heard Bomberman isn't as-great-as the GBA version.
