I've did Lists for the Various Retro Systems I've Played. Now it's time to focus on The Game Cube, Playstation 2, Play Station 3, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS, Wii, Nintendo 3DS, and the Switch. I Might do a single list for the Neo Geo Pocket/Color, Turbo Graphix 16,and the Wonderswan. Since I didn't play many games for those systems (which I played via emulation), I can put them all in a single list.
I Also might do one for the Atari 2600...keyword: MIGHT!
Anyway, This list will be focused on my Nintendo Game Cube. Note that This list, as well as any past and future lists, are for Archive Purposes.
I got the Game Cube for X-Mas of 2002. And I was surprised how small the discs were at first. I would learn a month later that those discs were Mini-DVD's And a month after that, I learned that the reason Nintendo used Mini-DVD's was to prevent pirating.
Sonic Adventure 2 - Battle - Got this game, and 2 others, with my Game Cube for X-Mas on 2002. I was always interested in playing the Sonic Adventure series, despite never owning a Sega Dreamcast. Well, thanks to Nintendo and Sega becoming friends (I'll talk more about how that came to be another time), I was able to play this on my Game Cube. SA2:B is a slight remaster of the original Sonic Adventure 2 for the Dreamcast. Needless to say, I had fun playing this game. Hard as hell, but I still love playing it.
Spider-Man - Another X-Mas 2002 gift. I always liked Spider-Man, so I had fun playing this game (as well as the unlockable mini-games). Plus, Bruce Campbell aka Ash Williams aka Autolycus, the King of Thieves, does some amusing commentary during gameplay. The Sequel would improve on this game by a crapton.
Mario Party 4 - The 3rd game I'd get for X-Mas of 2002. I wasn't too much of a Mario Party guy, but I wanted to try this game out. And I enjoyed it. So much so that I bough the entire Mario Party N64 Trilogy a year later.
Sonic Mega Collection - I'm a sucker for Compilation Games of my favorite franchises. And as a big fan of the Genesis Sonic games (3D Blast being the exception), I needed to get this. So in 2003, I bought this at Gamestop. I really enjoyed this collection and the GC Controller was perfect for this game.
Mario Kart - Double Dash - I was a fan of the Mario Kart series back then and on X-Mas day of 2003, I got this game. Double Dash attempts something that was Never attempted again in Mario Kart - Team Racing. I had much fun mixing and matching duos for my teams. This was also the first Mario Kart to allow you to choose a Kart, which would become a staple going forward.
Legend of Zelda - The Wind Waker - Another 2003 X-Mas gift. Fun game, until those annoying stealth levels. Not too much of a fan of the art style either..
Super Mario Sunshine - Another game I would get for X-Mas of 2003. Super Mario Sunshine deviates from the Classic Mario Formula ala Super Mario Bros. 2. It's a difficult, but fun experience.
Sonic Adventure DX - I bought this game at Gamestop in 2004. SADX is a slight remaster of the original Sonic Adventure for the Dreamcast. A pretty difficult game, though it's still a fun game.
Spider-Man 2 - Got this and a few other games for X-Mas of 2004. This is My Favorite Game Cube Game. The open world game play and Bruce Campbell's commentary made this game the Best Spider-Man game for Years, only to be overtaken by Spider-Man for the PS4.
Pokemon Colosseum - Another game I'd get in 2004 for X-Mas. The main reason I got this game was because I was expecting it to be just like Pokemon Stadium 1 and 2. However, that's wasn't the case and I ended up getting an interesting RPG instead. Good game, but needed more polish.
Mega Man Network Transmission - Another game I got on X-Mas in 2004. Combining elements from both the EXE/Battle Network games and the Classic games should've been a fun experience. Unfortunately, Capcom botched things and the game ended up being more difficult than it needed to be.
Sonic Heroes - Yet another game I got for X-Mas of 2004. I liked the tag team mechanic and the soundtrack. Like with Adventure DX and Adventure 2 Battle, Heroes is a difficult, but fun game.
Game Boy Player - A Game Cube Add-On I got in 2004 for X-Mas. I Love My Game Boy Advance games and getting a chance to play them on the TV was awesome. This thing can also play both Game Boy and Game Boy Color games. I love this thing.
Super Smash Bros. Melee - Bought this used at Gamestop in 2005. I was a fan of the original, so I needed to get this. Melee soon became my 2nd favorite Game Cube game. I Love Super Smash Bros.
Sonic Gems Collection - I bought this at Gamestop in 2005. The main reason why I bought this collection was to play Sonic CD again. However, I found Sonic R and Sonic Fighters to be fun experiences.
Legend of Zelda - Collectors Edition - A game I bought at Gamestop in 2006 and would be my Final Game Cube game. I bought this mainly to play Majora's Mask, but I also enjoyed re-playing Zelda's 1 and 2.
And That does it for this list. Next up is one for my Game Boy Advance. So until next time, Space Cowboys - Punch a Nazi in the Face, Kick a Commie in the Balls, Resist Modern Attitudes, and Stay Gold.
