Gamecube Looking for recommendations

[RageBurner]

It gets better, the story is a lot of fun and the exploration is excellent, the gameplay has aged but it's still fun in my opinion.

Most classically designed RPGs will feel dated for a modern audience, but there's just an undeniable charm to it that newer generations (and stuffy suited execs) fail to grasp.

Also, not GameCube-specific, but you can play Resident Evil Zero, 1-remake, Code Veronica and 4 on the GameCube. There's also 2 and 3, but those are basically the PSX version, slightly refreshed.

I've only tested it a little myself, like the first hour or so, but it seems nice and it's often recommended ?

Fair I mean I only played it because people keep recommending it

The story isn't exactly deep or complex, but it's a lot of fun and the characters have great personalities and relationships.

The game in general reminds me a lot of the first Grandia with its simplicity and optimism.

Nobody mentioned Skies of Arcadia Legends?

wasn't the dreamcast version better?

The GameCube version has more content but the audio and some textures are worse than the original Dreamcast version.

ToS on GC runs at 60fps. And Link on SC2 is better than Heihachi and Spawn. Nice picks !

Doshin was originally a 64DD title, right?

The Alien Hominid Port feels better to play in a Gamecube version than on PS2, mayvbe bias but the bumpers make dodging feel real good and the huge A button makes shooting a non-issue

Billy Hatcher as long as you don't mind reversed camera controllers

GUN (Yup, it's on Gamecube, Yup is complete and Yup it's still great)

One Piece Great Adventure is a quirky arena fighter that will make you feel like a Nakama as long as you can tame it

Ribbit King: Mario Golf... with frogs, is a cute game with solid gameplay and a wacky premise

LEGO Star Wars: The complete saga on WII maybe better, but from somewhere the LEGO adaptations must come and oh boy they came from a great game

Serious Sam The Next Encounter: a good Spinoff of the series that takes a new cartoony style

Over The Hedge: The unofficial sequel the movie deserved, a sort of Beat-em-up with puzzle solving

Pigglet's big game: Silent hill 2 comparisons aside, this game is legitimally fun with puzzle solving and annoying at first but growing into you combat style, even before the aformentioned Silent Hill 2 fiasco i loved this game, since it came with my Gamecube next To SSBM and Mario Kart Double Dash

Double Dash can keep you and a few friends busy for a while. I don't have a large GC library, myself, but that game is awesome.

My obscure suggestion that no one's mentioned yet is gonna be Beach Spikers. It's a beach volleyball arcade-style game developed by SEGA AM2, responsible for some of the best arcade games ever. It's a Gamecube exclusive, shockingly. Even if you have no interest in beach volleyball (I don't), it's extremely fun to play. There's co-op, but single-player works great, and you can even train your partner's AI over the course of the campaign, which is fun.

And my other suggestion is Gotcha Force, a toy-mech combat game developed by Capcom. Also exclusive. You put together a team of toy-bots and fight in Virtual-On style arenas while collecting and leveling up something like 200 different bots. This is actually one of my favorite games ever, though it gets somewhat repetitive in single-player. It was originally meant to be a multi-player sensation, and you could take your memory card to your friend's house to trade bots and so on.
