Wii Warm Up: When was the last time you played a GameCube game?
by David Hinkle 
{ Nov 7th 2007 at 9:00AM }
What you see above is actually the last GameCube game this blogger spent any time with. Since the Wii has caused the GameCube to be all but something to toss into a cardboard box and placed in the attic, garage or basement, I was rocking this bad boy on my Wii. So, it inevitably lead me to this post you read before you.
Oblige us, won't you?

Star Fox Adventures, which I like a lot. On my Wii, of course :)
LV426 @ Nov 8th 2007 8:46AM
Metroid Prime 2 some 2 or 3 months ago.
Manny @ Nov 7th 2007 9:11AM
smash bros melee, and i still play it sometimes during the week, but i usually win all the time , unless i dunt use the best characters im great at ,then its possible i can lose, o.O
Benjamin Flynn @ Nov 7th 2007 9:15AM
Lego Star Wars 2
Mario Kart double dash
Mario Toadstool golf
Mario smash
They all get played all the time on the wii, tho strikers charged is taking over and the new lego star wars will put the old to bed.

I got bored a while back and played Jedi Knight II. I seem to have a problem when I play any Gamecube game. It seems that once I start the game, I no longer have control with my Wiimote. That is to say, once I am finished, I cannot hit the home button or simply turn off the machine. I have to get up and trun it off at the console itself. Anyone else have that problem? Is that just what it does?

My wife and I STILL play Mario Kart Double Dash together on our Wii. Such a great game, and a great way for us to spend time together... AND it's been a great entry point for my wife into gaming!

About two weeks ago I was in the mood to play something retro. So I popped in the Namco Museum disk, played a bunch of games, and then was a little frustrated because I wish I had a more arcade-like controller for games like Ms. Pac-Man.
BTW, if anyone can recommend a reasonably priced arcade-like controller for games like this, please let me know!

Trying to play Tales of Symphonia, but my girlfriend finds the music so annoying that it's pretty difficult.
David T @ Nov 7th 2007 9:23AM
Actually, it was Eternal Darkness about 2 months ago. Being new to gaming, I just discovered it. What a game!
samfish @ Nov 7th 2007 9:23AM
I make it a point to bust out Ikaruga and Viewtiful Joe 1 or 2 at least once a month.
Chris Lawrance @ Nov 7th 2007 9:39AM
I'm currently playing prime 2. I started it a while back then quit because I missed a scan. I wanted to make sure I finish it before picking up prime 3.
ViewtifulVance @ Nov 7th 2007 9:29AM
i play smash bros melee about 3 times a week. i dare say ill be the best brawler out there when the game hits streets.
Ben @ Nov 7th 2007 9:27AM
I actually played Wii Bowling for the first time in a month last night with my younger brother. I've been playing Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes lately.
Atdt1991 @ Nov 7th 2007 9:27AM
I never had a gamecube, but a friend of mine lent me Wind Waker and a controller to complete my Zelda experiences. No problems!
bhengh @ Nov 7th 2007 9:29AM
I'm playing LoZ: Majora's Mask from the Zelda Collector's Edition GameCube disc. What a great game!
And we still get Double Dash out on a regular basis, and will until the new one comes out.
SpinachConvention @ Nov 7th 2007 9:30AM
I played Super Mario Sunshine about 2 and a half weeks ago and finished it.
I think I'll go back to LoZ:Windwaker at some point soon, probably after I complete MP3:C, also think I'll get a couple of Star Wars games second hand (Rebel Strike etc!) just to tide me over until an original Star Wars game comes out for the Wii
Matt @ Nov 7th 2007 9:46AM
Smash Bros Melee. Only just picked it up since I never owned a Cube before, and since Brawl was delayed I figured I'd get accustomed to the faster pace. (compared to the original Smash Bros, at least.)
ESK @ Nov 7th 2007 9:32AM
I have Pikmin and Pikmin 2 at the ready, just waiting for that Pikmin 3 announcement
Blu-Sam @ Nov 7th 2007 9:32AM
Fire Emblem: Radiance of Path since a week ago
Chupacabra @ Nov 7th 2007 9:40AM
NHL Hitz (GC Launch Title), played 2 days ago.
Nick @ Nov 7th 2007 9:41AM
Goldeneye Rogue Agent
Star Wars: Rogue Squadren 2
Star Wars: Rogue Squadren 3: Rebel Strike
All of these were played 2 weekes ago. Right before GH III was released.
exolstice @ Nov 7th 2007 9:42AM
Never owned a GC, so I've got a lot of catching up to do. Right now I'm on Beyond Good and Evil and enjoying quite a bit.
Dei76 @ Nov 7th 2007 9:48AM
I personally play GC games more than Wii. They're better, funner and have superior graphics :p
Seriously though, the last time I played on my Wii was to complete Super Paper Mario: almost a month ago. I've been playing through ToS again this week.
Maybe the Wii isn't really my type of console :(
luke @ Nov 7th 2007 9:49AM
Resident Evil 1 (till i get UC)
Prime 1 (till got 3)
SSBM (till i get SSBB)
Mario Strikers (till i got the new one)
P.N. 03 (till i got sin and punishment)
Wow, I sure am a sucker for franchises... and Ninty knows it!
chrysee @ Nov 7th 2007 9:52AM
Actually, our Wii gets used more often for GameCube games than for Wii games..
Recently? Skies of Arcadia Legends and Resident Evil 4
DrunkenKender @ Nov 7th 2007 9:55AM
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance as a refresher before getting the new game.
nil @ Nov 7th 2007 9:51AM
I've recently played Ikaruga, Battalion Wars and Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, in preparation for Radiant Dawn.
I'll never get rid of my Cube due the number of great import games I own for it.
Valien @ Nov 7th 2007 9:52AM
Was taking a break but will probably launch this again soon - Super Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door. Almost done.
Also playing Lego Star Wars II when I get time.
Rocketman @ Nov 7th 2007 9:53AM
Last night - Smash Bros. Still trying to unlock Game and Watch. I'm having trouble doing the target break with Ganondorf, Jigglypuff, Dr. Mario and I think one other.
Also, doing the event race where you have to run Captain Falcon across the board in 30 seconds is ridiculously hard.
jan_halmes @ Nov 7th 2007 10:03AM
Odama. It's the weirdest game on the Gamcube, and more than worth the $12 is costs.
And I still play Melee and Double Dash now and again.
Ben @ Nov 7th 2007 10:03AM
Metroid Prime as I was getting ready for Prime 3 (I still need to finish that game, Damn you Halo 3 and Orange Box!)
HawthorneKitty @ Nov 7th 2007 10:10AM
*checks Gamecube*
Oh, it's Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles!
I never did get to making the perfect character when school started...
mark richardson @ Nov 7th 2007 10:08AM
have been playing mario kart double dash, res evil, sonic mega collection, mp, rouge squadren and pikmin
Badaro @ Nov 7th 2007 10:10AM
Played Super Robot Taisen GC, Naruto GNT4 and Ikaruga recently.
FlamingMoe @ Nov 7th 2007 10:12AM
Played Beyond Good and Evil a couple of weeks ago. Still fantastic.
Julien @ Nov 7th 2007 10:12AM
I still play Ikaruga and SSBM, but not much more than once a month. The controls in the Wii games are so much better I don't like getting back to the (weird) gamecube controller. I had a cube since it's out so I became pretty bored of it after all this time.
I love excite truck !!! Going to mirror mode now :P
This game is so hard... imho
pman1225 @ Nov 7th 2007 10:19AM
I was actually playing The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker on my Cube last night. And yes I know I might as well play it on my Wii, but I have my reasons.
Julien @ Nov 7th 2007 10:19AM
pman1225:
Which are?
Craig @ Nov 7th 2007 10:24AM
Trying to beat the Emperor Ing in Prime 2 after beating Prime 1 before I even think about starting Prime 3
A Petz @ Nov 7th 2007 10:24AM
About a week ago: Double Dash (Can't wait until the new one comes out!)
Nushio (NDF - Blue) @ Nov 7th 2007 10:26AM
Smash Bros Melee. We still play at least once a day during weekdays.
On the Wii, of course.
I'm also trying to finish Battalion Wars I, before purchasing BWii.
Neal Eaton @ Nov 7th 2007 10:27AM
We play Mario Kart: Double Dash, Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee and WarioWare: Mega Mi¢roGame$ about twice a month. All 3 of these are great simultaneous multi-player games.
I was re-playing (trying to finish) MP2: Echoes in anticipation of MP3: Corruption, and I am STILL trying to finish Eternal Darkness (after 3 years). I was thinking about breaking out Luigi's Mansion again...I loved this game (don't think many others did, though).
Gundam_Warrior @ Nov 7th 2007 10:31AM
Well I'm in a little bit of a different situation. I've been playing on different systems Wii, the VC, Gamecube, Xbox and Xbox 360.

Wii -
Twilight Princess
Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition
Sonic and the Secret Ring
and just got Bleach.
Gamecube -
Super Mario Sunshine
Super Smash Bros. Melee
The VC -
Super Mario Bros 2: The Lost Levels
Sin and Punishment
Ninja Gaiden
Super Metroid
Xbox -
Psychonaughts
Dead or Alive 2 Ultimate
Xbox 360 -

ELIJAH the ChaosDragon @ Nov 7th 2007 10:35AM

Tyler @ Nov 7th 2007 10:35AM
Three weeks ago; it was Super Smash Bros. Melee and Mario Party...4?
Ana @ Nov 7th 2007 10:41AM
probably 3-4 weeks ago. we played mario kart double dash and super monkey ball on the wii.
Marc @ Nov 7th 2007 10:42AM
Game: Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes
When: right now.....
gena @ Nov 7th 2007 10:43AM
2 weeks ago : fire emblem
1 week ago: luigi's mansion
this week: skies of arcadia
as the wii lacks rpg/strategy games, its nice that we can pop old gamecube games and have fun. especially since i never played any of them before.
Myopic @ Nov 7th 2007 10:45AM
I never owned a Gamecube but now that I have a Wii with a couple of GC wireless controllers I am seeing a whole new area opened up to me. I am currently loving Soul Calibur II.
(01) @ Nov 7th 2007 10:48AM
I actually just picked up Geist, which isn't too bad. I regularly rock Mario Kart: Double Dash and Super Smash with my roommate...I'd say I play gamecube games weekly at least with the latter two, if the Wii wasn't BC I'd still probably have my GC hooked up just for them.
