Finally getting the cube next week when the Metroid bundle arrives and am hoping for some good recommendations.

Two obvious games even I know to get are Windwaker and Prime but I want to take advantage of EB's Player's Choice deal and grab some quality older stuff. A few from the list that catch my eye are Animal Crossing, Luigi's Mansion, Pikmin, Resident Evil/RE:Zero, Mario Sunshine, Smash Bros, Super Monkey Ball, Rogue Leader 2 and Star Fox Adventures.

Also any Cube exclusive titles that should be on my "must-have" list?

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Look at my collection in my signature. I own most of the top-notch GC games.

Those two are the most important ones, now make sure you get a few other key titles, most of which are mentioned!

Eternal Darkness, Smash Bros (! ! !), Viewtiful Joe, that kind of thing. You've got a good lineup so far.

Animal Crossing is extremely addicting, i played it every day for like 4 months. Smash Bros is good for multiplayer but if you dont have anyone to play with it gets old fast.

Metal Gear Solid The Twin Snakes
F Zero GX

If you like RPG's check out tales of symphonia and skies of arcadia. Mario Kart DD is also a must own game.

What deal is that?

Definitely try to score a cheap Pikmin . . . one of my favs!
The Rogue Leader 2 is excellent, and so is Super Monkey Ball.

Mario Kart Double Dash is a winner.

I'd hold off on Luigi's Mansion . . . good but not great.

Right now EB has Player's Choice games at 2 for $30 cash or for 3 trade-ins. I've still got some CC games so it comes out to $15 for 2 games.

Oops.. fine print states only Players Choice games at $19.99 qualify.

Sticky PC list at top doesn't state prices.. anyone know what wouldn't qualify offhand?

I'm pretty sure that it's only select Playes Choice games and none of them are the $30 games so you can't get Animal Crossing, Super Smash Bros. Melee, etc.

Tales of Symphonia and MGS: TS are a must. Skies of Arcadia Legends is also a good choice, as is Animal Crossing.

Enjoy your new Cube!

Enjoy Metroid Prime, one of the best games this gen. As others have suggested get Eternal Darkness and Pikmin. Also if you haven't played these third party games get BG&E PoP and Freedom Fighters.

I think you have plenty of suggestions to get your collection going. Once you get a few games I would highly recommend getting a Wavebird controller. Unless you're a stickler about having the rumble feature this is the best wireless controller you can get.

Shoot forgot about the wavebird, best cube purchase you can make right there.

I'd skip Rogue Leader and get Rogue Strike instead (should be able to find it for about the same price). Better 2-player IMO. Skies of Arcadia, as mentioned before, is also an excellent choice.

Also, may want to pick up a copy of Phantasy Star Online I&II PLUS when it comes out in a few weeks.

I agree with what a lot of others have posted. Metroid Prime, Monkey Ball 1&2, Vietiful Joe, Pikmin, and Animal Crossing are tops of the bunch as far as I'm concerned. I didn't care for Luigi's Mansion personally.

Pikmin is awesome. I also enjoyed Star Wars Rebel Strike 2. 3 sucked.

Mario Party 4 and Super Monkey Ball 2 are great multiplayer games.

Eternal Darkness is one of my favorite gamecube games. It doesn't get enough respect.

Enternal Darkness is a great exclusive title for gamecube and can be had for very cheap.

Soul Calibur 2 is also an excellent title with the addition of Link as playable making it the best of the three choices.

Super Mario Sunshine I think is very under rated. I really enjoyed this game and highly recommend it to Mario fans.

Timesplitters 2 I also thought was best done on the Gamecube. IMO the best FPS available. The Controls are perfect!

Beach Spikers is the best Volleyball game on any system and has great 4-player action.
