RH | 5,230 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Well I missed the boat. Getting into GC collecting was kind of a low priority, but I have intended for years to build out my measly collection of about 8 games and replace the couple of Player's Choice copies I have. And, of course, this year seems to have been the year for GC collecting. I still want to collect for the GC, but I'm not looking to buy many games that are north of $20. So, what games for the GC are actually good and worth buying that are currently $20 or less? These can be exclusives or ports that are actually pretty good and cheaper than they might be on the PS2 or xbox. Thanks for the advice guys.

Aguy | 784 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) If you've got the extra gear, Pac-Man Vs./Pac World 2 is a great multiplayer game with a Ok game bundled together. It should be around $15. Or you could just get the Vs. disc for under $10. All these can be had for under $20 CIB, but he father down the list, the more hunting you'll likely have to do to get a good deal. Second Sight Robotech: Battlecry (if you're a Robotech fan) Transworld Surf: Next Wave (good game made better by "Shark Tag" multiplayer) James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing Wave Race: Blue Storm Soul Calibur II (if you're a LoZ fan) Resident Evil 0 Resident Evil Resident Evil 4 (only version I've ever played) SSX 3 SSX Tricky (presented differently and not as good IMO, but it's synonymous with GC) Freedom Fighters Metal Arms: Glitch in the System Battalion Wars Metroid Prime Soul Calibur II (if you're a LoZ fan) Summoner: A Goddess Reborn Puyo Pop Fever Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour NBA Street Vol. 2 Edited July 31, 2020 by Aguy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a3quit4s | 4,372 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) Geist? Jesus even eternal darkness is up over $40 loose. All the first party Nintendo titles are stupid expensive and you are better off with the PS2 versions of the games. I’d probably steer clear of GC as a buyer at the moment. edit: here are the exclusives if you didn’t already have them: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:GameCube-only_games Edited July 31, 2020 by a3quit4s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makar | 2,062 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Sadly I can only think of one for under $20 and that's mega man network transmission. Very underrated mega man game imo. Well I guess a loose disk of mega man x collection, and a complete mega man anniversary count too but those are just games from other systems.

DefaultGen | 5,727 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) Whatever Super Monkey Ball 2 costs it's still worth it. Single player, multiplayer, short sessions, long sessions, playing it forever and becoming an expert. That game is the absolute full package.

KokiriChild | 1,673 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 You can get the first Monkey Ball for about $20 and its worth it. It's a little more than 20, but another game that is really good but isn't stupidly expensive considering it is a JRPG is Tales of Symphonia, which you can get for about $35. That's the price it was before the spike so I don't see it dropping any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to get that one, especially if it's about to skyrocket too. Edited July 31, 2020 by RH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drxandy | 3,284 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Great list @Aguy !! The bombermans and harvest moon games are under 20 I think, I have been sitting forever on grabbing them because I hoped to get em under 10 but those days are gone I think.

Red | 449 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Wave Race isn't bad, though every time I play it, I feel like I'd be having more fun if I was playing the Nintendo 64 version instead. Vexx is a decent 3D platformer. It's cheaper on PS2, but I recall that version being considered inferior to the Gamecube and Xbox versions.

DeuceGamer | 35 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 (edited) Not sure if anyone else has played Blowout, but I thought it was good for the price. Edit: Few others climbing but may be worth a look if you can get a deal and I don’t think they were mentioned.

I went to sell a copy a little while ago and figured it would be a $3 game at most. I was apparently way off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
