So I'm kinda bored and decided to play my Gamecube. Not as fun as I used to remember as a kid, but it passed the time. What are some good gamecube games you know of/use to play that were really good? I'm planning on seeing if I can get some on eBay to play so I can have something to do.

EDIT: After seeing A LOT of reruns of the same games, I probably should have specified. Any hidden gems? As in, games people probably don't know about? (Partially because it will probably end up being cheaper)

Tales of Symphonia was my favorite back in the day. Its probably cheaper to get it on steam but the original version is actually the best because of 60 FPS.

Oh yeah I played that when it was on the Gamecube as well with my cousins. Its definitely my favorite as well.

Viewtiful Joe 1 & 2
Okami
Ikaruga (though you might as well get the steam version)
Star Wars: Rogue Leader
Time Splitters 2 & 3
Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem
Fire emblem

Alright, so not the most well hidden games of all, but they're all at least quite good.

Yeah, but also PS2, which was why I, for some reason, thought it got a GC release when i typed that.

I actually had no idea it wasn't for Gamecube, I could have sworn I played it on a Gamecube but I guess that was the PS2

Resident Evil 4 is an obvious one, a true masterpiece. Of course you can play it on everywhere else since Capcom keeps re-releasing it on every possible system they can think of.

Best RE game.

Wind Waker - Probably the best Zelda Game.
Paper Mario Thousand Year Door - Good solid RPG with nice action elements.
Phantasy Star Online 1 & 2 - one game package. good even without online. Splitscreen if that's your thing.
Starfox Adventures - Good adventure game
Mario Sunshine. - Underrated platformer
Metroid Prime - Another great action/shooter adventure.

Those are all uniquely Gamecube.

If you can find Phantasy Star Online 1&2 PLUS, it's better.

+1 for Starfox Adventures. Sadly, never beat it due to that annoying nightmare sequence towards the end.

Paper Mario. I've only played N64 version of it but it was magnificent, filled with great gameplay and long as hell. Try it. I suspect Gamecube version is even better.

You would be right, I played the Gamecube and Wii one and loved them. I still haven't got to the N64 one yet though

There's a criminal lack of Super Mario Sunshine on this thread. That is my favorite Gamecube game, and is still one of my favorite games to this day.

It's on Ps2 as well but SSX3, THE best snowboarding game imo.

Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, it looks weird, I get it, but that's why everybody else avoided it. It's honestly really good, and while it does have a "unique" control method, it makes it waaaaay more memorable.

Battalion Wars, it's certainly a unique one, easy way to think of it would be Advance Wars if it was a tps.

So much this. The game isn't very popular I assume, because I don't hear much about it, but it was amazing! Another one of my favourites already mentioned was Tales of Symphonia.

Not popular? How come? D: it's a really fun game, the arena shooting, customization, etc... Sure, it wasn't very complex beyond choosing the best parts for the battle, but it was an enjoyable game.

Nothing new to add, but definitely agree with some other suggestions in here. I remember really enjoying:

Eternal Darkness
Animal Crossing
Super Mario Sunshine
Paper Mario
Pikmin 1 & 2

Edit: Just noticed your edit.. maybe some less famous games that were good:

Mr Driller
Ikaruga
Killer 7

Don't you have to use that Gameboy connector to play co op on Final Fantasy?

Yes, you have to have a gameboy and a cable. It's fun single player too; just fighting and moving the miasma lamp thing is a little tedious alone.

I heard the Steam version wasn't ported well. Loved playing it on the Gamecube though.

Gamecube is one of my favourite consoles.

Idk about hidden gems, but ones not mentioned above:
Sonic Adventure Battle
Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg
Tak and the Power of Juju
Bomberman Generation

Also Pikmin is one of my favourite games still, in case you haven't ever tried it.

Billy Hatcher was definitely one of my favorites (of course along with Sonic for the music) because I would always hatch a sonic egg and beat my cousins on multiplayer, thanks for the great memories

Cubivore is great and obscure, but definitely not cheap on ebay.
Chibi Robo is another fun one that I don't see mentioned above.
Besides that, I second a lot of ones that have already been mentioned, as they are some of my favourites as well (FF:CC, Animal Crossing, Sunshine, Paper Mario, Custom Robo, Symphonia, Pikmins, etc.)

+1 for Chibi Robo, I was extremely disappointed when they announced Zip Lash and saw that had turned him into a straight up platformer :/

I absolutely adored Chibi Robo on the Gamecube and so I bought the Zip Lash game (with the Amiibo because I freaking love Amiibos) and was very much disappointed. Sadly I lost my Gamecube copy so I cant ever play it without paying 80 USD to replace it...

Zip Lash was very disappointing. I actually enjoyed it at first, but after the first world it became very repetitive. Hopefully we get a true sequel on the NX, or at the very least a remaster of the original.

Yeah I really really hope the NX gives us another open world Chibi Robo game... Fingers Crossed!

I ended up buying the amiibo off someone who likes platformers. Even he didn't like the game, though :| They really need to get chibi robo back to its roots.
