Getting a gamecube !


Recommended Posts

Well, now i want the cube :p

So i just wanted to know, any games that i just need to own, and any games i should stay away from ?

And what about copied games ? can it run games like that ? do i need a mod chip ?

And other info worth knowing ?

Thanks guys :woot:

well i just recently bought one (november) and it rocks.. :p i only bought it because of mario kart double dash so be sure to get that one. the reason i picked the cube is cause i love the nintendo games and most games that come out on consoles also come out for pc.. and as we all know: the pc is waaaaaay better :devil:

i only have 3 games atm: mario kart dd. mario sunshine and zelda windwaker.. windwaker is a must if you loved the other zelda's. the shell caded grhx are nice: at first i didnt like it (too "kiddy") but now i find i very cool.. mario sunshine is a nice game. real classic mario. well let's put it this way: it pretty much feels like the n64 mario with exception of new and improved graphics, a complete new storyline and some nice thingy's :woot: . hehe :shifty:

so it's worth 99 bucks imo :happy:

oh yeah and about copied games en other stuff: the panasonic q-cube runs copied games.. but thats only in china. their is a way to get games and stream then from your pc. but it's not 100% yet (although it works) and it's not legal if you know what i'm saying :shifty: :rofl:

Well to be honest :|

Right now, i am only getting this because of MGS: Twin Snakes :blush:

But i will try out all the other quality games :)

So, what about the "illigal" part ...

Can the gamecube even play copied games ?

not yet.. it uses minidvd's and reads them in another way then regular dvd drives.. the only option atm is streaming with a pc and the bba..

i dont in what country you are.. but in europe it includes: the gamecube, 1 controller, power-cable, video (analog) cable, scart to hook the analog cable if you don't have the red-whit-yellow plugs on your tv.. and of course a manual :D

Ill think of something, but i am not a big fan of these "Jump around with weird little things on extremely weird levels" :blink: ...

One game looks appealing to me, MGS :p

Man i want that hehe.

hmm... seems like i remember not too long ago when i made a post like this. Now its my turn!

Stuff to get: (i recommend getting everything from ebay)

WaveBird Controller

Metriod Prime

Mario Kart Double Dash

Mario Sunshine (if you liked mario64)

Luigi's Mansion

LOTR: Two Towers, and ROTK

i havnt heard anything about playing copied cd's because a regular sized dvd wouldnt fit into the gc. I guess you could use copied ones if you did some kind of case mod, or just took all the insides out and let them sit on your floor :laugh:

One thing to do - get a memory card! Soem games don't even work right with out one (ROTK won't give you the option for co-op play without one, and also didn't say so in the manual).

What kind of games do you like? I recommend getting a long story game taht you can put a few hours into and play over a couple of weeks, but also get something that can be played and finsihed in one sitting - like a racing game, sports game, etc. Soemthing you can break out with your buddies and waste couple hours without having to commit yourselves to the game, you know?

Definately check out the discount games, can't think of what they are called, they have this gold label across the top I tink. Only cost you about $20 and are every bit as good as the $50 games.
