MiniKov has been given a GameCube (can't remember if I have asked before). Where is a good place to get the games and what are good for a 5 year old. Cheers Kov |

Play all my GameCube stuff via the Dolphin Emulator. For a console I guess EBay would be a good start for games? As with all old Nintendo systems you might find that some games are really expensive. |

Gonna be PRICEY to pick up many of the Gamecube classics. I'd say you're better off grabbing a cheap Wii, softmodding it (relatively trivial) and then just downloading isos to play via USB to be honest. Good gamecube only games: Super Mario Sunshine, Chibi-Robo, Wario World, Eternal Darkness, Wave Race: Blue Storm, Mario Kart: Double Dash, P.N.03, Luigi's Mansion, Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat (One of the best 2D platformers around, needs the bongo controller), Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader, F-Zero GX. Good Gamecube games with enhanced Wii/Wii U releases that might be preferable: Metroid Prime & Metroid Prime 2, Pikmin & Pikmin 2, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. Good multiplatform games on gamecube: Resident Evil 4, Burnout & Burnout 2, Viewtiful Joe, TimeSplitters 2 & 3. Killer7, Ikaruga, Skies of Arcadia Legends, Second Sight, Prince of Persia Sands of Time trilogy, XIII, Beyond Good & Evil, Spider-Man 2, Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, Alien Hominid (USA only), Metal Arms, Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg, Soul Calibur 2. Not sure which games might be most appealing to a 5 year old, but I have bolded the ones that are probably inappropriate. |

Cheers Kov Try and get a copy of Ribbit King. It's great because it's a golf game you play by hitting frogs on see-saws BUT because it is so busy and full of trampolines, chutes, travelators and a myriad of other things, almost 109% of shots taken result in some action, no matter where you land, so you can rack up points. It's fun rather than skill-based, perfect for little hands still working on co-ordination, direction and associated motor skills, and won't result in feeling left out due to not scoring. |

I'm struggling to see how many of those games a 5 year old might actually be able to play. Viewtiful Joe, for example, is the hardest game IN THE UNIVERSE. Pikmin is surprisingly difficult as well. Maybe a 5 year old won't be that interested in finishing them though. Ah well. F Zero is probably the greatest racer I've ever played by the way. |

I only own a copy because GAME points meant I got it for half price. (£1.45) Ah yeah, put it in the wrong column. |

Super Monkey Ball is pretty slick on the Gamecube. It retains some of that Sega arcade vibe from the Dreamcast days. |

Bomberman Generation had a lousy, boring one player mode but the multiplayer was excellent, with lots of neat customisation options. Many an evening was spent playing that and getting on the grog. It may be a bit much for a five year old though, but the colours and the noise enhanced the funtimes. |

I might have a couple of GameCube games kicking around which you're welcome to have (if I've not already given them away) |

Were the Roque Squadron games as good as they looked in the shop demos? |

The first one was brilliant but they ruined the second one with the "on foot" sections. |

| Author: | LewieP [ Tue Jul 22, 2014 10:24 ] |
| Post subject: | Re: GameCube |
The on foot sections were shite, but the flying missions were at least as good as Rogue Leader. Also, they included the entirety of Rogue Leader reworked as coop. Worth it for that alone. |

I've just read it again at more leisure now Baby is asleep. I don't know why it capitalised Baby? Sounds like I'm Talking about the girl from Dirty Dancjng. Anyway, I wish it were in WIIu, but at least we have s PS4. It makes me think of Doshin. I lived that game.
