sonic collectiom IE: all the 'old' games... the new one are shite! lol (apart from the couple on the DS).

The Wind Waker was that Zelda one, if you can get the gold case you should be able to get Ocinara of time on a sep disk

star wars rebel 2 was very good...

I like Viewtiful joe, good game!

Luigi's Haunted Mansion (or what ever you call it) was really good! very polished!


was there a jet set radio for the GC?

Any how, ive seen GC games go for £1 here..so you should be able to get some really good ones cheap! ..tho I sold my Wind Waker for £30


erm... yeh, i like games haha...

@farfus- lmao, that's what i thought before i bought it. but here's the way i look at it, "If it's the system is $30 with games selling for less than $10 and the occasional $20, then it's too cheap to leave you dissappointed". I think that works.

Metroid Prime was the best game of last generation. There, I said it.

I would have recommended the Primes and Pikmins (especially Pikmin 2), but from what I recall both are getting Wii remakes in Nintendo's new GC on Wii range, exact ports of the GC games but with Wii controls. Assuming they do it right the Wii versions would likely be superior. Then again, I never had any issues with the controls on either series.

Kotaku have a feature up discussing this very subject. They mainly recommend:
  • F-Zero GX
  • Animal Crossing
  • Resident Evil 4
  • Metroid Prime
  • Paper Mario & the Thousand Year Door
  • Pikmin
  • Mario Kart: Double Dash
  • Eternal Darkness
With honourable mentions for:
  • Super Mario Sunshine
  • Luigi's Mansion
  • Viewtiful Joe
  • Rogue Squadron 2: Rogue Leader
  • Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker
  • Super Smash Bros. Melee
  • Super Monkey Ball 2
You can follow the link for their reasoning.
