Top 25 GameCube Games

Nintendo's purple lunch box served up a stack of great games (which are all backwards compatible on Wii). Here's our list for the top 25 games you should enjoy (or enjoy again).

24.) Mario Kart Double Dash!! (Nintendo)

We still don't understand why people hate on this game so much. It's classic Mario Kart, except it has this cool switching ability where you're able to swap drivers on the fly. Besides, we always wanted to pair Baby Mario with grown-up Mario, or Princess Peach with Boo or Bowser with Toad. These are unholy unions made possible by a sweet video game with colorful tracks and competitive racing action. Now stop complaining or we'll hurl a red turtle shell at you.

@elb95076@sbcglobal.net Give me a new Star Fox title where you're in the Arwing for more than 10% of the time (you know, a rail shooter than made the series popular in the first place?) and we'll talk. The ground missions were very good, but it's not a Star Fox game. Star Fox = rail-shooting and all-range mode. Assault = fun game in its own right, but doesn't fit the bill. Also, did they say the Wii version of Twilight Princess was better BECAUSE of the motion controls? Maybe it's just me, but after two or so hours of flicking the controller JUST to swing my sword, I begged for a button to serve the function. Maybe I just don't work out my wrist enough... And I can only hope the Wii Motion Plus solves that pesky delay whenever moving your cursor on-screen. I'm getting tired of preferring light-guns over the "Revolution" of controllers.

Did someone forget STAR FOX?!?! While there may not be a ton of games in the series, Star Fox Assault was an almost perfect blend of FPS and classic Starfighting. While Adventures almost ruined the series making it too much of a kiddie game, Assault returned it to the glory it had. Now all we need is a Star Fox Wii and all will be right.
