Wii Warm Up: When was the last time you played a GameCube game?

by David Hinkle on Nov 7th 2007 9:00AM

And what game was it?

What you see above is actually the last GameCube game this blogger spent any time with. Since the Wii has caused the GameCube to be all but something to toss into a cardboard box and placed in the attic, garage or basement, I was rocking this bad boy on my Wii. So, it inevitably lead me to this post you read before you.

Oblige us, won't you?

Star Fox Adventures, which I like a lot. On my Wii, of course :)

Metroid Prime 2 some 2 or 3 months ago.

smash bros melee, and i still play it sometimes during the week, but i usually win all the time , unless i dunt use the best characters im great at ,then its possible i can lose, o.O

Lego Star Wars 2
Mario Kart double dash
Mario Toadstool golf
Mario smash

They all get played all the time on the wii, tho strikers charged is taking over and the new lego star wars will put the old to bed.

I got bored a while back and played Jedi Knight II. I seem to have a problem when I play any Gamecube game. It seems that once I start the game, I no longer have control with my Wiimote. That is to say, once I am finished, I cannot hit the home button or simply turn off the machine. I have to get up and trun it off at the console itself. Anyone else have that problem? Is that just what it does?

My wife and I STILL play Mario Kart Double Dash together on our Wii. Such a great game, and a great way for us to spend time together... AND it's been a great entry point for my wife into gaming!

About two weeks ago I was in the mood to play something retro. So I popped in the Namco Museum disk, played a bunch of games, and then was a little frustrated because I wish I had a more arcade-like controller for games like Ms. Pac-Man.

BTW, if anyone can recommend a reasonably priced arcade-like controller for games like this, please let me know!

.

Trying to play Tales of Symphonia, but my girlfriend finds the music so annoying that it's pretty difficult.

Actually, it was Eternal Darkness about 2 months ago. Being new to gaming, I just discovered it. What a game!

I make it a point to bust out Ikaruga and Viewtiful Joe 1 or 2 at least once a month.

I'm currently playing prime 2. I started it a while back then quit because I missed a scan. I wanted to make sure I finish it before picking up prime 3.

i play smash bros melee about 3 times a week. i dare say ill be the best brawler out there when the game hits streets.

I actually played Wii Bowling for the first time in a month last night with my younger brother. I've been playing Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes lately.

I never had a gamecube, but a friend of mine lent me Wind Waker and a controller to complete my Zelda experiences. No problems!

I'm playing LoZ: Majora's Mask from the Zelda Collector's Edition GameCube disc. What a great game!

And we still get Double Dash out on a regular basis, and will until the new one comes out.

I played Super Mario Sunshine about 2 and a half weeks ago and finished it.
I think I'll go back to LoZ:Windwaker at some point soon, probably after I complete MP3:C, also think I'll get a couple of Star Wars games second hand (Rebel Strike etc!) just to tide me over until an original Star Wars game comes out for the Wii

Smash Bros Melee. Only just picked it up since I never owned a Cube before, and since Brawl was delayed I figured I'd get accustomed to the faster pace. (compared to the original Smash Bros, at least.)

I have Pikmin and Pikmin 2 at the ready, just waiting for that Pikmin 3 announcement

Fire Emblem: Radiance of Path since a week ago

NHL Hitz (GC Launch Title), played 2 days ago.

Goldeneye Rogue Agent
Star Wars: Rogue Squadren 2
Star Wars: Rogue Squadren 3: Rebel Strike

All of these were played 2 weekes ago. Right before GH III was released.

Never owned a GC, so I've got a lot of catching up to do. Right now I'm on Beyond Good and Evil and enjoying quite a bit.

I personally play GC games more than Wii. They're better, funner and have superior graphics :p

Seriously though, the last time I played on my Wii was to complete Super Paper Mario: almost a month ago. I've been playing through ToS again this week.

Maybe the Wii isn't really my type of console :(

Resident Evil 1 (till i get UC)
Prime 1 (till got 3)
SSBM (till i get SSBB)
Mario Strikers (till i got the new one)
P.N. 03 (till i got sin and punishment)

Wow, I sure am a sucker for franchises... and Ninty knows it!

Actually, our Wii gets used more often for GameCube games than for Wii games..

Recently? Skies of Arcadia Legends and Resident Evil 4

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance as a refresher before getting the new game.

I've recently played Ikaruga, Battalion Wars and Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, in preparation for Radiant Dawn.

I'll never get rid of my Cube due the number of great import games I own for it.

Was taking a break but will probably launch this again soon - Super Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door. Almost done.

Also playing Lego Star Wars II when I get time.

Last night - Smash Bros. Still trying to unlock Game and Watch. I'm having trouble doing the target break with Ganondorf, Jigglypuff, Dr. Mario and I think one other.

Also, doing the event race where you have to run Captain Falcon across the board in 30 seconds is ridiculously hard.

Odama. It's the weirdest game on the Gamcube, and more than worth the $12 is costs.

And I still play Melee and Double Dash now and again.

Metroid Prime as I was getting ready for Prime 3 (I still need to finish that game, Damn you Halo 3 and Orange Box!)

*checks Gamecube*
Oh, it's Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles!
I never did get to making the perfect character when school started...

have been playing mario kart double dash, res evil, sonic mega collection, mp, rouge squadren and pikmin

Played Super Robot Taisen GC, Naruto GNT4 and Ikaruga recently.

Played Beyond Good and Evil a couple of weeks ago. Still fantastic.

I still play Ikaruga and SSBM, but not much more than once a month. The controls in the Wii games are so much better I don't like getting back to the (weird) gamecube controller. I had a cube since it's out so I became pretty bored of it after all this time.

I love excite truck !!! Going to mirror mode now :P
This game is so hard... imho

I was actually playing The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker on my Cube last night. And yes I know I might as well play it on my Wii, but I have my reasons.

pman1225:
Which are?

Trying to beat the Emperor Ing in Prime 2 after beating Prime 1 before I even think about starting Prime 3

About a week ago: Double Dash (Can't wait until the new one comes out!)

Smash Bros Melee. We still play at least once a day during weekdays.

On the Wii, of course.

I'm also trying to finish Battalion Wars I, before purchasing BWii.

We play Mario Kart: Double Dash, Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee and WarioWare: Mega Mi¢roGame$ about twice a month. All 3 of these are great simultaneous multi-player games.

I was re-playing (trying to finish) MP2: Echoes in anticipation of MP3: Corruption, and I am STILL trying to finish Eternal Darkness (after 3 years). I was thinking about breaking out Luigi's Mansion again...I loved this game (don't think many others did, though).

Well I'm in a little bit of a different situation. I've been playing on different systems Wii, the VC, Gamecube, Xbox and Xbox 360.

I was busy over the winter and spring finishing off college and didn't have the full time to commit to much gaming after that I spent the timing on the following games:

Wii -
Twilight Princess
Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition
Sonic and the Secret Ring
and just got Bleach.

Gamecube -
Super Mario Sunshine
Super Smash Bros. Melee

The VC -
Super Mario Bros 2: The Lost Levels
Sin and Punishment
Ninja Gaiden
Super Metroid

Xbox -
Psychonaughts
Dead or Alive 2 Ultimate

Xbox 360 -
Dead or Alive 4
Kameo
Dead Rising

I beat my brother to death in ssbm,just re-re-re-finished papermario ttyd, i am still afraid of killer 7 but still play it and i continue to play my gamecube games on the side. @ Viewtifulvance match excepted play me when brawl comes out remember my name.

Three weeks ago; it was Super Smash Bros. Melee and Mario Party...4?

probably 3-4 weeks ago. we played mario kart double dash and super monkey ball on the wii.

Game: Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes

When: right now.....

2 weeks ago : fire emblem
1 week ago: luigi's mansion
this week: skies of arcadia

as the wii lacks rpg/strategy games, its nice that we can pop old gamecube games and have fun. especially since i never played any of them before.

I never owned a Gamecube but now that I have a Wii with a couple of GC wireless controllers I am seeing a whole new area opened up to me. I am currently loving Soul Calibur II.

I actually just picked up Geist, which isn't too bad. I regularly rock Mario Kart: Double Dash and Super Smash with my roommate...I'd say I play gamecube games weekly at least with the latter two, if the Wii wasn't BC I'd still probably have my GC hooked up just for them.
