Top Ten Gamecube Games

Just read a post elsewhere and it be nice Jayman get their lists up and Balla can do his adding up.

Could this format be done for other retro systems? Best Virtual Boy game clearly has to be done.

Yeah, get on it boys!

I can only imagine that Andy's got this down to 22 by now.

I'm still working on that Virtual Boy list

GameCube Top 10 -
1. Fire Emblem
2-10 some other shite

I was rereading this thread after Cappa linked it elsewhere and was utterly unsurprised when I didn't end up posting my list. What a tosser I am.

Can't believe Jay's calling himself a tosser when there's this limp effort right above his post. Of course, it's not too later for either of you!

Also, I've recently said elsewhere Fire Emblem has aged from the 8 or 9 chapters I've played. Sure it might suddenly become a banger but I've given it a good go.

But hey nostalgia etc why OoT and FFVII still show up in Top 10's.

OoT is a deservedly top rated game with or without nostalgia

I would personally say so as well, but those two are to of the better examples of games that are always top rated regardless when you may have played last.

I still play through a decent chunk of Path of Radiance most years so hard disagree on it having aged...

Just seems it to me, again I've got no nostalgia for it what so ever.

First I thought it was due to playing Three Houses but Persona 3 seems way newer and playable.

That doesn’t make sense Mas, if anything PoR has more complexity than 3 houses. The only bit that’s missing is the walking round campus bit, that’s not an aging problem, that’s that PoR is a true strategy game, it’s not trying to be a life sim.

How it's presented.

The thing is we're not going to agree, I'm coming from a place playing first time in 2019 and I guess you from 2005, that plays often.

Naa, I didn’t get it until 2010, not sure if finished it until 2011-3

Was going to say that wasn't that long ago but is actually 6-9 years which is crazy.

Where the time go?

We're old. We're all old. The GameCube is old too.

It is, I maintain, the oldest 3D machine where the games still hold up in the light of modern day fully (the SNES still does okay because it's 2D), but that could be just because it's from my childhood. And I'm old now.

That's hard to disagree as the overall GameCube library would hold up better than the other three of that gen but I do feel they have games that hold up still.

Same with the N64, PS1 (Saturn still but 2D I feel more then 3D) but then again am I saying that because I've played those games and if I hadn't played them would I think they may have aged?

EDIT

Some reason this has posted three times

Gamecube library definitely aged best from that era. Titles like Viewtiful Joe, Okami and a lot of the SEGA titles have aged well too, largely because they chose a more colourful art style.

It's hard to believe that the Gamecube is nearly 18 years old. It is a new feeling, seeing Monkey Ball and Pikmin approach that 20-year age and still hold up, whereas most N64 titles looked haggard 10 years after their release. Only highlights the sheer jump that took place between the 5th and 6th generations and one could argue that the Gamecube's legacy lived on through the Wii (a slightly more powerful Cube) all the way up to 2012.
