GameCube Controller Black

It's well worth kitting your gamecube out with 4 of these, they're a cheaper alternative to the wavebird (Why not get yourself one of those and let your friends use these ones?).

I've always felt Nintendo make the best controllers, I was reluctant to leaving the N64 controller behind when moving up a generation to the gamecube, but I needn't have worried. The ergonomics have fit me perfectly and everything's easy to get hold of. Like the Xbox controller, it doesn't feel like it may fall apart either, yet it isn't as bulky.

But the main reason to get these is because the Gamecube is much better experienced in multiplayer, with Super Smash Bros. Meelee being my personal highlight. You simply need these controllers to ... Read More:

Mario Kart: Double Dash! (GameCube)

The review by "Olsta" that seems first up when I log on, sums up the nature of this game.

Nintendo will eventually release the Wii version so you can steer with the Wiimote. In the meantime this version is a great way to enjoy a truly great game for all the family. As with all Gamecube games on disc you need the Gamecube controllers (Not the Wii Classic one) and a Gamecube memory card if you want to save progress and points. Memory is not necessary to play when the family just load it up for an hour of fun! I got a set of Gamecube wireless controllers to keep the wirefree environment (Madcatz ones), and invested in an original Gamecube memory card due to forums indicating problems with third party ones. We have had no problems ... Read More:

Pokémon Colosseum (With Free 59 Slot Memory Card)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > GameCube
from: Nintendo

You capture wild Pokémon only, right?

Wrong! The lead character in this game wears a device on his arm, allowing him to snag Pokémon. However, you still can't just snag any Pokémon.

Teaming up wth a girl who has the ability to see dark auras, you travel around rescuing "Shadow Pokémon", who's hearts have been sealed shut in labs. Caring for these Pokémon and taking them to a special place restores the Pokémon to their original state.

When you've snagged all the Shadow Pokémon, and restored them, you're said to be able to get Ho-oh as well. I can't vouch for that yet, but I'm working on it.

Resident Evil (GameCube)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > GameCube
from: Capcom

September 13, 2002
As an avid fan of the Resident Evil series buying this game was only natural. This is the first game I got for my beloved 'Cube and I can only say one word amazing. This is Resident Evil in full glory and is worth every penny.

The graphics are far far better than the original. The dark atmosphere is well acomplished with an updated soundtrack, new lighting and new camera angles. With new areas to explore and more items and game modes to unlock the replay value is high.

If you've played the original the new and updated puzzles are designed to mess with your head and they do just that. The storyline for this version is more in depth than the original. The opening cut scene alone makes this game a worthwhile buy.

What can I say apart from Res evil 4 is the most absorbing, addictive and fun game i have ever had the plesure of playing. This is not an exagerated statement! After being struck down with the flu over Christmas I was bed bound and bored so needed some entertainment--I found it. Has supassed Ocorina Of Time (Zelda) as my new fovorite video game.

Super Smash Bros Melee

May 24, 2002
I cannot get over how good this game actually is. Me and a group of friends have been playing this since it came out on multiplayer, and we just refuse to get bored of it, even now one of us has an Xbox 360 and Halo 3, Super Smash Bros finds itself in a gaming day routine everytime, without fail.
The single player is solid; classic mode, adventure mode, all star mode and event matches are just some of the choices on offer, and with so many characters to get used to, there's plenty of life in this game for a single player, but with this just on it's own, the game would be quite unremarkable. The game is designed with Multiplayer in mind, and you have everything you could possibly want at your disposal for it.
The frame rate is continually perfect, ... Read More:

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

I'm gonna set something straight- I'm not a Nintendo 'fanboy', so this is not going to be a biased rant about how Sony suck and Microsoft are rubbish etc., which, unfortunately, seems to be what we get a lot of nowadays. I'm gonna stick to the facts.

This game is good.

And I mean properly good.

Say all you want about the Cube's graphical ability, one look at this game will blow your mind- It certainly did mine. I very rarely audibly mutter 'this is beautiful' when playing a game, but this is one of those times. It's the little things you notice. From the wind blowing around the grass and link's hat, to the way he looks at important stuff with his huge eyes, to the way the water... well... splooshes. There isn't really an adjective ...

Freeloader (GameCube)

Works well until you upgrade the WII to the latest version of the firmware (version 3.0) when this version of freeloader will not work. BE WARNED
Apart from this, I have had NO problems with this on my WII running an NTSC version of Animal Crossing, it was worked 100% of the time.

Star Wars: Rogue Leader - Rogue Squadron II

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > GameCube
from: Lucas Arts

May 03, 2002
I never owned a Gamecube, so I never got to play this game. I loved the prequal on the N64, and always thought that this game looked good, but just never got around to it. Now I own a Wii, the gateway to a plethora of retor games has opened before me and this is the first title checked off my "to buy" list. Of course, I had to buy a Gamecube remote and memory card - don't forget to grap those!

Anyway, this game looks fantastic (even now) and plays well. The controls are a little convoluted and tricky (I've no idea what my targetting computer efficiency score means and I've no idea how to improve it) but you get used to them. And this feels like Star Wars. It feels like your in the movies and it feels good.

In short, if you've bagged yourself a Wii, ... Read More:
