Board 8 > Today's Poll of the Day: What is Board 8's All-Time favorite GameCube game?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Today's Poll of the Day got me thinking about Board 8 and wanting to know what some of Board 8's All-Time Favorite GameCube games from the Poll.

If not any of these choices, that's ok! You can say what your all-time favorite GameCube game (s) is in this topic.

I only briefly played Animal Crossing and Pikmin over at a friend's house long ago. Only really played Animal Crossing to play NES games on it (lol) and got the Pikmin save data just to get the Olimar trophy to unlock in Melee.

I sadly never got to play Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance.

Eternal Darkness is godlike. Gotta love those Sanity Effects and playing through the game 3 times!

Metroid Prime is great. I was skeptical at first when it was first announced and it would go from 2D to 3D but my fears were put to rest once it was released. Retro Studios managed to pull off the transition really well.

I loved Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. I played that one before I eventually got to play Paper Mario on N64 (via Wii Virtual Console). It was just overall a solid fun experience.

Super Mario Sunshine was aight. SHINE GET!

I had the most fun with Super Smash Bros. Melee. Unlocking trophies was really fun and playing with friends.

I remember when Board 8 hyped up Tales of Symphonia back in the day and I was looking for a little something different at the time and I wasn't disappointed. I had a lot of fun going through this game and even played it multiple times after completion.

Zelda Wind Waker...I remember when it was announced that it was going to use cel-shaded graphics and the majority freaked out on how Link looked and they were all like "OMG so kiddie!" and "lol CELDA!". Game released, played it in action and all was well. Animation was really good and Link was really expressive.

Path of Radiance is incredible and it's criminal that it never got rereleased in any capacity.

So many fun classics

^ this, but my favourite is still Super Monkey Ball.

Paper Mario: TTYD

With a three way tie of F-Zero GX, Wind Waker and Melee very close behind it.

---

Melee. I want to say Prime, but I didn't really get hooked on that game until the Wii version.

---

To me it's RE4.

The game has been rereleased so many times but I still ultimately associate it with those magical first half-dozen playthroughs on the Gamecube

---

Resident Evil Remake

---

According to the ranking topic, it is Beyond Good & Evil with Killer7 not far behind.
---

F-Zero GX
---

F-Zero GX

But I'll vote sunshine in the poll for my name sake

---

Melee

followed closely by Path of Radiance and Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. Fundamentally PoR is probably the best though

---

Why is Eternal Darkness on here over F-Zero GX???

---

Double Dash

---

Of the list....

Path of Radiance > Wind Waker > Melee > The Thousand-Year Door > Metroid Prime > Animal Crossing > Tales of Symphonia > Sunshine > Eternal Darkness > Pikmin

---

REMake is 1a and Eternal Darkness is 1b

---

Even though Ultimate has rendered Melee irrelevant, there is no denying the amazing times I had playing Melee with my friends back in the early 2000s. Without a doubt the definitive GameCube experience.

Tales of Symphonia and Metroid Prime would be my runners up.

Honorable mention goes to F-Zero GX.

---

Literally every game in the poll is great, and it doesn't include F-Zero GX, Skies of Arcadia: Legends, Twilight Princess, Prime 2, REmake, RE4, Twin Snakes, Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, and Baten Kaitos--all of which I loved.

What a great console.

---

Melee may have the most hours I ever put into a video game.

---

Oh, and Super Monkey Ball 2. Classic.

it hasn't tho

---

Symphonia, then Melee.

---

Kirby Air Ride

---

Path of Radiance > Melee > Wind Waker > Symphonia > TTYD > Pikmin > Sunshine, never played the others.

The top 3 there would all be in my overall top 10 or just outside of it, though. Fantastic system.

Metroid Prime for me, but utterly crazy that this poll includes three top 25 all-time games for me; Wind Waker and TTYD being the other 2. Hell, F-Zero GX is probably also in that category. It's just been so long since I've played it.

What a monster of a console.

---

Long story short Gamecube is my favorite console

---

TTYD of the poll options, Skies of Arcadia Legends overall

---

Prime > Melee >> Pikmin > Animal Crossing > Wind Waker > Sunshine.

Haven't played the rest (whyyyy have so many GC games never been ported, I want to play TTYD, PoR and F-Zero!). Going offlist, Pikmin 2, Super Monkey Ball 2 and Sonic Adventure 2 Battle would be up there.

---

for me it's SSX 3

but for just exclusives, Animal Crossing. Easily the one I played and enjoyed the most out of all the options, and no other AC game has come close to that since

Whoops forgot another all-time great for me, though it was eventually ported

---

Resident Evil 4 and TimeSplitters 2 are my top 2.

Voted Eternal Darkness out of the poll choices.

My Top 10

1) Melee - still the best fighting game ever in my opinion. Ultimate is a close 2nd but doesn't quite have the speed and 'tech' (aka Nintendo oversights that became happy accidents) of Melee.

2) Wind Waker - incredible adventure game and my fave Zelda title. I had the same reaction as GOG - thought it looked silly and wanted a more realistic look, but within about 5 minutes of starting it, I realized it 100% worked and I was hooked.

3) Burnout 2 - Maybe the most improved sequel ever. Crash mode was tons of fun back in the day. Racing & pursuit modes were a precursor to Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit on PS3, another great one, even though it was single player.

4) Tony Hawk Underground - great story mode, fun to make custom tricks

5) Super Mario Strikers - Mario Kart of soccer games, good use of items, handles great, good fun to play co-op

6) F-Zero GX - you've got BOOST POWER. Insanely fast and chaotic. Good story mode races, even if the cinematics are uh ....questionable.

7) TimeSplitters 2 - not as good as the N64 FPSes, or even Future Perfect, but the story mode is solid, and I remember having lots of fun playing multiplayer virus mode

8) Soul Calibur II - Kilik main 4 life. Link was a very cool addition.

9) WarioWare: Mega Party Game$ - original WarioWare but multiplayer, so very good

10) Super Monkey Ball 2 - best Monkey Ball

HM: Viewtiful Joe, Star Fox Assault, Double Dash

Extremely good library at the top

Skies of Arcadia Legends.

I can't imagine that you could do something similar with today's gaming landscape, but there was a legitimate sense of exploration and discovery in that game.

It felt nice to be the only kid to have access to RE4 because nobody in my town had one... Only for it to be the most ported game in the history of the world sometime later.

My answer is Metroid Prime from the options
