The original GameCube version was devoid of clunky controls, immersing you in Hyrule, as well as the haunting Twilight Realm. You might recall playing The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess on the Wii, but it just wasn't as enjoyable with the awkward motion controls. We also have Melee to thank for the prevalence of the GameCube controller in the Smash community-most players prefer to use the GameCube controller, even for Super Smash Bros. Melee still remains relevant today, as players actively duke it out in Melee tournaments. The tight controls and total simplicity make it oh-so-satisfying to send someone flying off of the stage. With the help of Mario's water-powered jetpack/squirt gun, you must collect Shine Sprites and restore sunshine to Isle Delfino. The game immerses you in a lively, tropical environment that needs saving from eternal darkness. While both are 3D platformers, Super Mario Sunshine takes the graphics to a new level. Super Mario Sunshine is a huge leap from Super Mario 64. The gameplay, story, and artwork were way ahead of its time, easily making it one of the best GameCube games. Resident Evil 4 switches up the series' conventions, opting for an over-the-shoulder point of view rather than a fixed camera angle. That said, it sits in stark contrast when compared to the majority of barely-violent GameCube titles.

After all, there's really nothing more guilt-inducing than ending the day with barely any Pikmin left. The task of traversing a treacherous planet with a herd of fragile Pikmin can test your patience. Not only that, but Pikmin 2 also lets you play as two explorers: Olimar and Louie. Pikmin 2 tends to overshadow its predecessor, as it introduces the burly Purple Pikmin, and does away with the 30-day time limit imposed on players in the original game. Both roles are switchable during the race, making for some chaotic fun when playing with friends. It's the only game in the Mario Kart franchise that allows players to drive as a team.ĭouble Dash features two-seater karts-while one player steers, the other sits in the rear of the kart and throws items. Mario Kart: Double Dash is the first and last of its kind. Switching on the GameCube for a peaceful hour of Animal Crossing is a memory that many gamers share. Still, that didn't stop the original Animal Crossing from becoming a GameCube classic. During a time when a conversation dictated your character's appearance, Animal Crossing was as bare-bones as they come.

With the N64 in the rearview, Nintendo finally said goodbye to those unflattering blocky graphics. The 2001 release of the GameCube brought about the era when 3D Nintendo games actually started to look good.
