Ahehe that is good news (^.^)b

Last weekend I picked up a Wavebird and a GC memory card, never had a GC and would like to checkout some of the good titles.

Just a note the memory card was on sale at EB, 3rd party think it was like $15 ?

Anyone got some suggestions for the best of the best on GC ? For someone who hasn't played any?

peace all

I smiled when I walked in to my local EB after the Wii launch, by the looks of it all the Gamecube games people have traded in are filling up a whole shelf
Heaps of bargains too (Wind Waker for $30)

I too haven't had a GC but some titles I'm looking forward to getting is SSB, Wind Waker and I'm REALLY looking forward to playing Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, it just looks so original and fun.

I plugged up some cube controllers and Smash Bros melee into the Wii the other day to play with my friend, and we both noticed that the display seemed MUCH sharper? The edges of objects and characters seemed much more defined and sharp.
Can anyone tell me if we're both seeing things, or is this actually true that the Wii outputs Cube games at a higher res too?

Resisdent Evil 4 is by far the best GC game IMO.

The only game I haven't played yet is Pikmin 2 - it's very difficult to find a copy.

Was that $70 for 2 games? If so that's great for those titles. Even $70 each is good, but didn't Metroid Prime go platinum?

Its good to see Gamecube kicking itself up again, I enjoyed the console more then Xbox and PS2.

Also if your looking for other cube games I use ebay and select items only in U.K as there region is the same as ours!
Its a good way to pick up some rare titles that never came out here like Fire Emblem.
It can be Pricey... though Fire Emblem is worth it
