Gamecube - your favourite title and collecting

[Shinobi]

I'd like to be able to find them in the shops instead of just clicking 'Buy' on the likes of ebay.

I genuinely wish you well in that endeavour. I'd been looking for GC games in every shop i could think of for a few years...but some of those games you've listed there, i've just never seen in the wild. The ones you'll be EXTREMELY lucky to find (in my experience, natch) are:

Chibi Robo
Evolution Worlds
Kirby AirRide
Mario Party 6 + 7 (if you're looking for the bigbox versions)...you'll find the solus versions on occasion
Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II
Skies of Arcadia
Summoner: A goddess reborn.

All the others i've seen a time or two or more. I know for a fact one of our local charity shops has had WaveRace: Blue Storm in for a few weeks now, if you want me to pick it up next time i'm passing?

Funnily local Gamestation had a couple of Kirbys Air Rides which I never picked up as I never realised that they where rare.. They also had Chibi Robo but they wanted £20 for it.. The only one I managed to pick up in Gamestation is Goddess Summoner Reborn and Lost Kingdom 2.. Its only since I was picking up games for you I know which the rare games are..

I think the 9 Gamecube games I kept are some of the most expensive on the System, Twilight Princess, Killer 7, PN03 etc.. I saw PN03 pal in the Indy shop yesterday and it was £10 not sure if thats a good price..

Again our local Gamestation has been having lots of 49p games I picked up Scooby Doo, Spy Hunter, Spryo, Beach Spikers and Mary Kate and Ashley.. I left a few sports titles and games with no instructions like Rogue Squadron and Simpsons hit and Run.. The charity shops tend to have a lot of them

PN 03 usually goes £5-£10 depending how the wind blows. Certainly wouldn't pay more than that for it though, a tenner is top end. I'd want it pristine for that.

I paid £30 for a complete and really nice condition copy of Twilight Princess a few years back. A fair bit of money but I don't regret it and after playing the game to near 100% completion (it was just the fishing sidequest that I didn't do) I can say it was worth that price as a game to play anyway.

Used to have P.N.03 but I sent it back to the ebay seller because the manual was covered in tears and a big GAME security tag that wouldn't come off. Surprise, surprise it wasn't mentioned in the description

Anyway, just pulled the trigger on a complete Resi 0. Was a tenner on a BIN but apparently mint with flawless discs so all being well, I'm happy with that price

They also had Chibi Robo but they wanted £20 for it..

I paid just over that for mine a few years ago, but it was mint. Bit of a risk in hindsight as I wasn't sure if I'd click with the game, but as it turned out I really enjoyed it and don't regret my purchase, even if it was a tad overpriced. I'll definitely play it again sometime so I'll get my money out of it.

At that time there were quite a few German box versions knocking around for about £15-17, which still play in English. If that's still the case then hunting one of them down online might be a cheaper alternative for someone after the game.

It's such a great game, just because it wasn't quite as good as Windwaker or Ocarina it get's labelled "crap" by some people which I just don't get. I paid £35 for the Cube version at launch and it was money well spent as far I'm concerned, I've probably played it through 2-3 times, and will definitely do so again.

Well worth it, like Twilight Princess it gets some stick for not being as good as the games before it but it's still a cracking Resi game.

Does anyone know where I can get a good gamecube memory card for cheap or point me to an eBay page? I borrowed my memory card from a friend, and he recently asked for it back, so now I'm stuck with the tiny one that came with Animal Crossing, and I need a bigger one to play Harvest Moon! Thanks everyone

[speedlolita]

251 MB card, 4 or 5 times large than the regular one I believe.

Nice one! Thanks a lot!

[Mayhem]

Would an official 1019 block card be large enough?

[speedlolita]

Wow, that's cheap!

I'm looking at getting some NTSC games for the GC now after getting a freeloader with Twilight Princess on the cheap. any recommendations? so far I like the look of....

Baten Kaitos ORIGINS
Megaman X Collection
Megaman Anniversary Collection
Zatch Bell
One Piece Grand Adventure
Evolution Worlds

Ive never really played any Megaman games other than Battle Network 6.... which i didnt like. So id like to play some of the CORE titles in the series and it seemed like the collections on GC are decent enough (and a little more affordable!)

Check out Alien Hominid and I-Ninja, neither made it to Europe on the Cube. I haven't played either myself but they're supposed to be quite good, I always liked the look of I-Ninja.

Alien Hominid started life as a Flash game so you can get a taster of it online:

Fire Emblem was always a favorite of mine, because of the cover. It stook out on a shelf like a sore thumb.

Also, can anyone remember the (pinball game IIRC) called Odama? I remember it looking very good visually when it was first previewed, and I think it came with a microphone off some sort too?
