Juggernaut, bitch.
A little aside: ice + even my superhuman bending ability = my groin and shoulder hurt.
Anyway, I was just wandering around Target and was laughing because even in my little podunk corner of the world, there was a good amount of PS3s laying around. I then see two Wiis sitting there and was all like "You are mine now, you belong to me!"
Yes, I did say that like Ahnold too.
The only game that I have for it right now that's actually a Wii game is just Wii Sports, and that's good enough for me for now. Bowling rocks your face in half, while boxing is...well, I hope they get the kinks worked out on it and perhaps make a new Punch Out game.
Anyway, this means that I need you guys to recommend me some Gamecube games. Didn't see that coming, did you? Let's look at the ones that I've rounded up so far on the cheap:
Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes
SSBM
Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door
Metroid Prime II
...I'm probably going to pick up Custom Robo (the little red headed step child of Armored Core that it is) and Animal Crossing, but I'm not sure about any others.
If anyone says Windwaker I'm going to kick you in the face, although I will get the promo disc if I can find it anywhere. I did see it at Gamestop, but it's a little pricey. Not too shocked at that.
As far as Wii games go, I dunno. Metal Slug Collection looks intruiging, and still unsure about Twilight Princess. Don't know if I am going to get that for Wii or GC. If you can think of any other Wii games that I should check out, let me know.
PS I know that Ken has one and don't know about anyone else, but I'll ask it anyway. Okay, so this thing uses SD cards. Would like say, a San Disk SD card work with this as far as for memory, or do they only work with viewing pictures? Because if they work for mem, I'd rather get a 2GB one than have to get the "official" ones for about twice the price.

And get the Wii version of TP. Much better. And Metal Slug is really good, but I enjoy playing that with online co-op. MA and I engage in it... from time to time.
Trauma Center is pretty fun too. >_>

For GCN games... Custom Robo is definitely awesome. And it has Evil, one of the best villains ever. <_< Plus it's like $10.
Speaking of $10, GameSpot/EBGames/Software Etc/all those other stores sell Fire Emblem 9 for $10, so that's a must buy if you play SRPGs at all.
While we're on RPGs, Baten Kaitos, Tales of Symphonia, and Skies of Arcadia Legends are all great games.
If you're up for something different, pick up both Pikmin games. Just make sure you play them in order.
As for the first party staple games:
Super Mario Sunshine
Mario Kart DD (only for multiplayer, though)
Mario Power Tennis
Kirby Air Ride
Donkey Kong Jungle Beat
Star Fox Assault
F-Zero GX
And Sega:
Sonic Adventure DX
Sonic Adventure 2
Billy Hatcher
However, all three of those tend to get mixed reviews, so...
Lastly, Star Wars Rogue Squadron III Rebel Strike: The Quest For A Longer Title. Definitely a must buy if you're a Star Wars fan.

I thought about getting this, but haven't really seen it anywhere yet. Of course, I haven't gone to Best Buy in a while.
For GCN games... Custom Robo is definitely awesome. And it has Evil, one of the best villains ever. <_< Plus it's like $10.
Yeah, I picked it up for like 7. Stomped through everyone until the blue haired guy, then all of a sudden the game went "lol NO U DIE~!" Still good.
Speaking of $10, GameSpot/EBGames/Software Etc/all those other stores sell Fire Emblem 9 for $10, so that's a must buy if you play SRPGs at all.
See, I don't know about this one. I hated Advance War. I mean, for me, it's just screw that game, so probably the same with this one.
While we're on RPGs, Baten Kaitos, Tales of Symphonia, and Skies of Arcadia Legends are all great games.
I'll see about picking up Symphonia, and maybe then Kaitos. Skies could happen, but right now my RPG time is being taken up by Paper Mario 2.
If you're up for something different, pick up both Pikmin games. Just make sure you play them in order.
Haven't seen these at all, anywhere yet. DO WANT though.
As for the first party staple games:
Super Mario Sunshine
Mario Kart DD (only for multiplayer, though)
Mario Power Tennis
Kirby Air Ride
Donkey Kong Jungle Beat
Star Fox Assault

...bout the only one I see out of these that might interest me is Sunshine. Don't like racing games, so there goes Kirby, DD, and F-Zero, and as much as I like Guitar Hero II when wasted "PLAY THUNDERHORSE MOTHERFUCKER" DK is out, and bah to sports games.
And Sega:
Sonic Adventure DX
Sonic Adventure 2

...yeah, no.

Hell, I still play the original Rogue Squadron on 64 when I come back home, so I might have to grab this.
Thankee sai.
PS there was something that I found hilarious when I bought the 4 game disc for Zelda that has OoT, MM, 1&2 on it when it has NOT FOR RESALE on the friggin cover.
Now from that experience, I must say Fuck Gamestop, or at least the one that is closest to me. More on that later.

There you go. Now, if you want a list of GC games that I think you should get...
Ikaruga
Skies of Arcadia
Pikmin 1/2, maybe
SSBM
Metroid Prime 1/2
Baten Kaitos, maybe
Tales of Symphonia, maybe
Wind Waker
Paper Mario 2, maybe
Resident Evil 4
[12:11] Brownsound204: I mean
[12:11] Brownsound204: if I asked God why he made the Gamecube such a shit system
[12:12] Brownsound204: he'd probably say
[12:12] Brownsound204: "To make Gears of War even better."

Don't worry, once you get some good parts you'll be able to stomp through 90% of the game with your eyes closed. >_> Make sure you check a FAQ, btw, I think there are some parts you can miss.
See, I don't know about this one. I hated Advance War. I mean, for me, it's just screw that game, so probably the same with this one.
While there are similarities, the games are quite different - in Advance Wars you have to build units and manage resources. In Fire Emblem, you recruit party members and all you really have to worry about are weapons and gold. Honestly, Fire Emblem is a lot more like the FFT series than Advance Wars... although that isn't necessarily a good thing. <_<; IMO, Fire Emblem > Advance Wars > FFT.
Haven't seen these at all, anywhere yet. DO WANT though.

Ah, well, that makes sense. Although to be fair I also hate racing and sports games and still like the games I listed. Also, while DKJB is a rhythm game, it's nothing like Guitar Hero (again, not necessarily a good thing) - it's a platformer with a strange and twisted control scheme.
...yeah, no.
Understandable. <_< But SA2B is definitely worth a purchase, IMO. Hell, the Chao Garden alone makes it worth a purchase. >_>
Hell, I still play the original Rogue Squadron on 64 when I come back home, so I might have to grab this.
^5 again.
I must say Fuck Gamestop
^5 thrice.
Because it sucks.
Still not hearing any actual REASONS.
It was almost like Katamari Damacy, but it wasn't.
Maybe because it was a platformer instead of whatever the hell you want to classify Katamari Damacy as?
Same with Sonic Rush. That sucked too.
If by "sucked too." you mean "was the best 2D Sonic." then yes, I agree.
And Brownsound is one of the only people I haven't blocked. >_>

Shittiest 2D Sonic I've played. It's nothing compared to the Genesis games. Most of the levels can be described as
GO RIGHT GO RIGHT GO RIGHT NOW PRESS MANY BUTTONS IN MID-AIR OKAY KEEP GOING RIGHT ALRIGHT DO MORE LAME TRICKS BY BUTTON MASHING OH IT'S THE END OF THE LEVEL SORRY NO MORE MINI-BOSSES
yeah

GO RIGHT GO RIGHT NOW JUMP OVER THAT THING AND THAT THING TOO AND RUN THROUGH A LOOP NOW KEEP GOING RIGHT AND MAYBE GRIND ON THAT RAIL OR JUST KEEP GOING RIGHT OH IT'S THE END OF THE LEVEL
I'll admit that I missed having to waste 30 seconds fighting a giant robotic ladybug trampoline, though. That was truly the pinnacle of the Sonic series' gameplay.

Brownie says Sonic 2 was the best. I say S3&K. Sonic Rush is shit along with all the other new Sonic games, from Sonic Heroes and whatever else they've come out with.

Probably because it was different depending on whether you started with Sonic or Blaze. >_>
Music sucked,
Compared to the 3D Sonics, yes, but it's better than most of the 2D tracks.
gameplay sucked,
Again, I disagree, unless we want to say the gameplay sucks in all Sonic games.
shitty tricks system sucked,
It was pretty much like the "trick system" in all other Sonic games, except now you actually have control over it.
and there's not even a chance for 2-player fun like there was with Sonic and Tails.
Criticism accepted, but that's more of a bonus to games with Sonic and Tails than it is a mark against Sonic Rush.
Brownie says Sonic 2 was the best. I say S3&K.
Both good choices, although I disagree - personally I'd say Sonic Rush > Sonic Chaos > Sonic 1 > Sonic 3 & Knux > Sonic 2 > Sonic Advance >>>>> Chaotix.
There are probably other ones I've played but am forgetting, but that's the basic jist of it.
Sonic Rush is shit along with all the other new Sonic games, from Sonic Heroes and whatever else they've come out with.
And you're back to not defending your points at all. Hm. Wonder why?
I see you a 'Classics' and raise you a 'Kenwii.'
I'm not sure what you're getting at here, but
Old games are not automatically better than new games. They usually are, yes, but not always.

Plus they removed the Chao, which I loved sinking time into in SA1 and 2. =(
And no, the music in the 2D Sonics was the opposite of suck. Music inspired/composed? by Michael Jackson?
I still remember Green Hill, Chemical Plant, Sky Sanctuary, Doomsday Zone, Angel Island, and ICE FUCKING CAP.
really
It was just that much better.

True, you don't have to, but it would make me take your comments seriously as actual criticism instead of blind game bashing.
However, it was mostly from what's plagued all the 3D Sonics.
Ladies and gentlemen, I believe we're making progress!
Terrible control,
I wouldn't say "terrible", but yes, they could certainly be better.
terrible camera,
See, now, if anything, you're being too nice. >_>
and general annoying gameplay.
Again, I disagree for the most part, although there certainly are annoying stages (Big's levels in SA1, Rouge's levels in SA2, Team Shadow's levels, Team Amy's levels, and about half of Team Espio's levels in Sonic Heroes, and pretty much all the "destroy X enemies" levels in ShtH).
However, I submit to you that none of these points matter, because the games still manage to be fun. From a technical standpoint, Sonic Team's latest games have been glitchy, unplayable messes - yet they're still better than most console games I've played in recent memory.
Now, we seem to have reached the heart of my argument - your next retort will be "I don't find them fun", which is, of course, entirely subjective, and I'll have no where to go from there unless you make another comment I can utterly annihilate. So if you play your cards right, the argument ends with the next post and even slightly in your favor. In fact, you don't even need to post if you don't want to, and we can just consider this 'closed', so to speak.
And for the record, I never said the music in 2D Sonics sucked. I just said Sonic Rush's music was better. Sonic is probably my #1 favorite game series for music, by a wide margin. >_>
