Sonic Adventure 2: Battle
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Resident Evil 4
But for me, the Metroid Prime's take it by a mile.

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance has superb writing and characters, and while it isn't the hardest in the series, it is in my opinion the best, and has more than enough replay value for multiple playthroughs. I discover something new every time I play it.
Baten Kaitos Origins is just amazing (not to be confused with Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean, which I personally think is deep fried awful). Origins boasts a fast-paced innovative battle system, creative and colorful visuals, and some of the best writing I've ever seen, story wise and especially for the three main characters, who all act like real people and have their own secrets and depths without ever getting too wrapped up in themselves. It's truly a gem, and I wish more people played it.
I also adore The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, but I probably don't need to justify those as much.

Lost Kingdoms 1 and 2! Seriously, so few people have played these games but there just so much fun! I revisit them every once and a while.
And Starfox Adventures, The world still looks great even by today's standards.

Just because my friend says it all the time and it really irritates me, it's Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, not Sonic Adventure Battle 2.
Anyway, OT, I'm always astounded when I hear people say they didn't like the Gamecube. It had all the great Nintendo staples, (Mario Zelda Metroid StarFox etc.) and it had some fantastic new IPs like Pikmin, Viewtiful Joe, Killer 7, and Eternal Darkness. Metroid Prime was probably my favorite, with Melee coming in close second.

Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, is obviously at the top of my list. It is my top favorite Zelda game.
Smash Bros. of course.
I had about 20 or so games for the thing, most were those 20 dollar bin deals that Wal-Mart had back in the day, basically Nintendo's version of "platinum hits".
I don't remember playing it more than once, but I had great fun with Luigi's Mansion.
I also played Star Wars: Rogue Squadron 3 practically to death.
Same with Tony Hawk's Underground.
I also really loved the True Crime games. Those games that today wouldn't see the light of day on the Wii, definitely not "kid friendly". Especially not True Crime: New York, practically every other word out of all the pedestrians' mouths was "fuck", even the times when I was being a good police officer and not messing around blowing off random peoples' limbs while duel wielding Desert Eagles.
Edit: I almost forgot Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door.

Metroid Prime
Eternal Darkness
Skies of Arcadia: Legends
Custom Robo GC
are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

Besides the really obvious ones, Eternal Darkness was probably my favorite. One more obscure one that I really liked was Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast, a surprisingly good GC port of a PC game.
It would be so easy to say F-Zero GX, or Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones, or Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. Except that a little studio on the outskirts of Austin toiled for years, under the occasional supervision of Miyamoto-san himself, and came out with a little game called Metroid Prime.iLeikHip said:
Still holds up to this day. In fact, I'm about to enter a thread called "can retro games hold up without nostalgia?" and use Prime as an example.
to those who dont know his avatar is from tales of symphonia which is in my opinion the best tales game ever released.Retronana said:

LoZ:TP

NFL blitz 2003........i know it was multi platform buti think it was better on the game cube
It's quite possible that The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker is my favorite game of all time, so that.
Eternal Darkness and Metroid Prime are probably tied for me. They're both amazing games and a must-play if you have the console. Or a Wii, since they're backwards-compatible.
