Throughout the GameCube's life Nintendo released a plethora of first-party exclusive titles that provided gamers world-wide with hours and hours of top quality, classic Nintendo gaming.
Sadly, the fortunes of Nintendo's ill-fated GameCube were never revived, but, given the success of the Wii, the purple 'Cube has left behind a huge back catalogue of games that could be remade and targeted at a whole new audience.
Here are the top five games (in no particular order) NintendoLife would love to come to the Wii.
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
To celebrate Tomb Raider: Legend's 20th anniversary, the official channels have shared an early in-development gameplay demo.
Conan the Barbarian is a well-known name across pop culture and entertainment. Join Netto's Game Room as they dive into his forays into the gaming medium.
I think it's a bad move to do things like this for Nintendo. The Wii is getting flooded with remakes and cruddy ports that aren't accentuating it's potential. There are a few really great games out for wii, but for every good game for wii, there's about a thousand junk games that were really only made to cash in on Nintendo's new console. I really might vomit if i see another terrible port or remake. If these 5 games the article mentions are simply duplicated and slapped with new controls, it is a disgrace to gaming. I can understand making an entirely new game or a sequel to these 5 games, but never a duplicate. The wii is getting a bad rep because of crappy games and horrid developers. Anyone Agree?
i would like to see Pilotwings for the Wii and also Punchout! Those two games missed out for a few years now and I think they both would work very well with the new controllers! Do it Nintendo!
Keep shoveling enough GC ports over to the Wii, and consumers may start feeling cheated. I know I would be.
Yes, we're all aware that the console isn't quite the leap that the 360 and PS3 are to their respective descendants.
Thing is, a new console should mean new, compelling software tailored to the new machine.
Porting old games to the new machine isn't good...that's what backward compatibility is for.
Make new software that revolves around the controls and takes advantage of what the system was built to do.
Pikmin 2 was da bomb!
Geist, a Metroid Prime 2 online, and some other great GameCube FPS games would be great.
BLACK with Xbox graphics, online play, and new weapons would be great also!!!!!!!
