METROID PRIME!

People don’t give it enough respect. It’s beloved, yes, but on any other console it would be a system seller.

I love Nintendo games, but man… people don’t give Metroid a shot. Makes me sad.

I remember playing this one to death

Is this the first game or the third? Or is it the first and second together? I'm not sure.

Second Summoner, reworked for the GameCube.

Second Summoner, reworked for the GameCube.

Great. So the first game still has to be played on PS2.

Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg is a neat cube game I don't hear enough people talking about.
It's a blast, and because it's not overly sought-after, it's not too expensive to collect physically.

For my own list of Gamecube games, this is the console I grew up with, it's hard to keep it to a limit lol.

Tales of Symphonia is the game that really got me into JRPGs.
Chibi-Robo is just extremely charming. Wind Waker and Twilight Princess are great adventures, as is Metroid Prime.
While I don't think it's aged as well as it could have, Mario Sunshine is still a great 3D platformer, if a bit more linear than I'd like.
The Thousand Year Door is easily one of the best games ever made. Story, character, gameplay, music, etc. all top notch
Pikmin 1 and 2. Such unique experiences, that only the later Pikmin games can compare to. Nothing like using your army of little guys to just obliterate the local ecosystem.

And plenty more to name, but I don't wanna be here all day lol.
