We got Melee, Sunshine, Metroid Prime and TWW in the first year and a half and then, well, uhhhhh metroid prime 2 and ttyd????? Link to comment

Ikaruga, Wario World, Air Ride, the absolute fucking perfection that is F-Zero GX, Double Dash (in the top 3 of the series mechanics-wise at least. that game is mad hard at a high level), Pokemon Colosseum, Harvest Moon, Custom Robo, Four Swords, Tales of Symphonia, Pikmin 2, Baten Kaitos, Jungle Beat (hella underrated), Crystal Chronicles. all of those are 2003 or later. all of the misc Mario sports games. especially Strikers that game was the shit that's just going off my old collection that i've sadly had to sell off by now. it hurts thinking about all of it at once I know I'm forgetting some. There's the weird shit like Chibi Robo and Battallion Wars. but I didn't play those lol Eternal Darkness? I always heard that was good but never played it. Same for the gamecube Star Fox game that wasn't about dinosaurs and I didn't even get into the loads of good cross platform stuff that I had, like Viewtiful Joe, Beyond Good and Evil, Soulcalibur 2, Hit and Run, etc. And the first year had all kinds of good shit like you mentioned. Gamecube was a good ass console man. Blows my mind that ppl still sleep on it. Edited January 29, 2020 by Pichi Ithrak Utopia 1 Link to comment

THOSE ARE MOTHERFUCKING JOJO CHARACTERS God forbid they get those games out to a bigger audience so more people can enjoy them. As someone else who bought a WiiU good riddance. It’s just making it an easier decision to sell mine. ace 1 Link to comment
