Nintendo Power's Best of the Best Gamecube Games. Nintendo Power's response for each game:
Super Monkey Ball: This simple ball-rolling game packs a long list of quick-fix levels that hark back to classic coin-ops. If arcade gaming were still thriving today, we'd be dumping all our quarters int SMB.
Animal Crossing: Although it's nothing like Nintendo's other hits, animal Crossing is just as addictive. It gives us a place to simply exist and enjoy, trading pulse-pounding action for charming daily discoveries.
Donkey Kong Jungle Beat: More people need to play this game! The first title from the Nintendo studio that created Super Mario galaxy, Jungle Beat mixes the bongo controller with amazing platforming.
skies of Arcadia Legends: Though decided;e old-school, Sega's pirate themed RGP stands apart on the strength of its eminently likable cast and imaginative world begging to explore.
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time: At the time of its release, Sands of Time was a much-needed shot in the arm for the fading action-platform genre. It brought us supercool moves and incredible sequences of acrobatic feats.
Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes: A significantly enhanced version of one of the best action-adventure games of all time, and arguably the top title in the metal gear series to date.
Luigi's Mansion: Luigi's Mansion is criminally underrated. Just remember how cool it was to use the flashlight, bust ghosts, and hear Luigi's shaky cry of "Maaario" makes us want to play it again right now.
Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg: Who knew that rolling around a giant egg and using it as a weapon would be so fun? Apparently the makers of Sonic did. Too bad gamers were scared off by the goofy character design.
Mario Kart: Double Dash!!: While the twp-characters-per-kart twist didn't make much of a difference, Double Dash!! offered some of the best tracks, smoothest controls, and craziest kart the series has everseen.
Beyond Good and Evil: This overlooked gem from Rayman creator Michel Ancel earned a devoted following with inspired art direction, a socially relevant story, and the greatest female protagonist in video game history.
Viewtiful Joe: Henshin-a-go-go,baby! Joe's ability to fight while slowing down or speeding up time- and to look like a badass while doing it- makes this one of the most fun and original action title in recent years.
Resident Evil: A stunning re-imagining of the classic that kicked off the survival-horror genre. Spooky, unsettling, and often legitimately scary, this the pinnacle of the old-school, pre-Re4 Resident evil
titles.
Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door: Beautifully stylized graphics, a deep and engaging action-RPG mix for battles, and unmatched wit make The Thousand Year Door our favorite of the excellent Paper Mario games.
Pikmin: Nintendo's most original action title in years, Pikmin effortlessly mixes exploration and cute critter crowd control. Despite Pikmin 2's new features, we feel the original nailed the concept the best.
Super Mario Sunshine: While a short step behind Mario's usual efforts, Sunshine is still top-ier platform loaded with fun stages and memorable moments. The water-pack-less challenges especially stands out.
Soul Calibur II: The second chapter in the weapon- based fighting series is still our favorite,and we're mot just saying that because Link is in the GameCube version(although he does rock the house down).
Metroid Prime: We couldn't imagine how Metroid could be done well in a 3-D...until Retro did it. The first Prime-without the irksome light/dark twist of its sequel- remains an almost-perfect action-adventure game.
Super Smash Bros. Melee: This vastly improved successor to the revolutionary N64 classic is a milestone in multiplayer gaming and a love letter to the world of Nintendo...and the way the wear out a controller.
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker: Wind Waker's amazing visuals make it one of the most distinct Zelda titles, and it plays as good as it looks. It it weren't for so-so sea travel, this might be our all time favorite in the series.
Resident Evil 4: It takes an exceptional third-party game to top Nintendo on its own system, and by our measure Capcom's Resident Evil 4 is the only title to manage it. It doesn't hurt that the GameCube's Mario and Zelda entries weren't quite as mind-blowing as usual, but you can't take anything away from Capcom's incredible accomplishment with RE4. The publisher bet big on a radical change for its hit series, trading the slower-paced "Haunted House" approach for a more visceral, amped -up action experience. Despite fewer creepy hallways, the game still delivers the scares and keeps the tension level high, extraordinary game feels so polished and perfect that we can't imagine the developers cut even a single corner in realizing their initial vision.
