GameCube is more than 15 years old but we still look back for some GameCube games to feel the nostalgia of those times. It was not as omnipresent as PS2 or as powerful as Xbox bit this small Nintendo's box had its own unique catalog of marvelous games.
We hope that once Nintendo will bring classic GameCube games to Switch with the help of their Virtual Console. Now we have the ability to play Switch using GameCube console or enjoy playing old games using ROMs and emulators.
GameCube did not have a great variety of games but they were never lacking in high quality. We have played such great entries as Zelda or Resident Evil franchises using this original console. It's time to remember the best GameCube games ever.
1. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
Everyone who thought that the Zelda series do not have chances might have missed Wind Maker. In this marvelous game, all the world was transformed and turned inside. It has a colorful Disney style that will be always alive.
In this game, we can switch the settings form the green forests to the endless ocean and can transport form horse to the ship. Zelda shows us that its formula is immortal.
We can see small Link of the screens but its brave character's spirit and its childlike expressions leave good impressions. In any case, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker is one of the best series games and at the same time one of the best GameCube games.
2. Metroid Prime
In this game, we can enjoy Samus' new planet with patches of vegetation and uneven caves. Retro Studios have made a revolution in this big franchise and provided us with a thought-heavy puzzler with elements of a first-person shooter.
Steem effects and rain splatters on the visor obscure your view creating the increasing sense of claustrophobia. You feel the same from one save point to the next. This game is probably reborn of the great franchise that we could taste on GameCube console.
3. Resident Evil 4
Resident Evil 4 is a mix of action, brutal firefights, interactive cutscene and tones of gore together with amazing visual effects that can be offered by the last generation of consoles. Unlike other games from the Evils franchise, you have got an ability to use a great variety of guns and ammo to stop the army of rhinoceroses. ut you need to save each bullet to move through hordes of monsters that stand between you and the President's daughter.
Resident Evil is tough enough but you will not be boring plunging into the moody atmosphere with deep cinematic effects. There is no doubt that this game must be in the list of the best GameCube games ever made.
4. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
Prince of Persia is an iconic video game franchise. When it announces the reboot all gamers had some concerns. But Ubisoft has provided us with a brilliant game Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time that transformed all old games to the new classic generation. The whole game was focused on the feats of acrobatics and agility.
The new Prince could jump across the terrain and walk across the walls. The best feature of this game is that when you fell into the pit you could reverse time using Sands of Time and try to pass the level again. It also has a great option of slow-fingered player that was not offered in most games of that time. Sands of Time reverse this franchise to the generation.
5. Star Wars Rogue Leader
It is really cool to blow up TIE fighters in an X-Wing especially if you do this on GameCube. In this game, we had the ability to enjoy amazing visuals matched with rapid-fire action. This game shows what the purple lunchbox can really perform.
You had to move from the first Death Star to the final assault at the Battle of Endor. together with the best pilots of the Empire. The space fights can be addictive and fast. You can pass multiple missions on your way to victory. All of these actions are highlighted with an amazing scenery look. All aerial and space combat makes this game one of the best console games.
