Title: Favorite overlooked GCN game?
Post by: Tupin on June 16, 2009, 03:29:09 PM
Mine would have to be a game that also is one of the worst named games ever, but it was made by the people who made F-Zero on the GBA. Yep, that game is...

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/0/01/Tube_Slider.jpg/422px-Tube_Slider.jpg)

It plays a lot like F-Zero GX, including the crushing difficulty. Surprisingly, this came out a year before F-Zero.

Come to think of it, the GCN had a lot of games that just got buried... No wonder any companies made games for it.

Probably chibi-robo but that title wasn't overlooked as much as some others, the one you mentioned i never even heard of.

2003 was a very good year for the GCN, you just had to know where to look.

Luigi's Mansion or Chibi-Robo, as previously said.

Also, Kirby Air Ride.

I gotta say Chibi-Robo at the moment.

It's an amazing game that I never thought I would like.
Now I can't stop playing!

I should find Chibi-Robo, I was bored with the GCN by the time it came out.

Porobably Kirby Air Ride.

I don't know if Luigi's Mansion was really overlooked, but definitely one of my favorite GC games ever.

Anyone remember Magical Mirror Starring Mickey Mouse? I thought it would be a platformer, but it's a point and click adventure game. It was weird.

Oh, and the GCN isn't a legacy system just yet, it will be in a few years though.

It is Legacy as per SIT decision when we condensed boards. Any non-current software discussion can take place here (meaning even X-box is fair game, although we'd likely keep it in M$), and should, so the board serves a purpose.

I played that with my friend like a year ago, we would just walk around the city and make up stuff to do... so fun. We also thought of how cool a second one would be, you could go to shops and buy different outfits and stars and you could get weapons and get off your star during a race and so on.

Maybe not overlooked... but often shot down.
Wind Waker.
Favorite game on the GCN of all time besides SSBM.

Metroid Prime......its the best intercourse ing game Nintendo has put put besides Paper Mario.

I know it wasn't overlooked since so many people loved it, but w.e it should be loved even more...... just my opinion.

Crystal Chronicles was amazing. Probably overlooked because of general inaccessibility, in that most people didn't have a bunch of GBA-GCN cables, a few GBAs, and friends to visit and be dedicated enough to finish the game together. Thanks to also having Four Swords Adventures and Pokemon Box, I had the cables, and a friend of mine visits often and was dedicated enough. In my opinion, it's much better than any other Crystal Chronicles game released since. A Wii+DS version or direct sequel would be much more accessible, with the popularity of both systems and the wireless connection that would not require additional accessories.

Pokemon Box, though not really a game in itself, is also extremely overlooked because of Nintendo's refusal to sell it at retail. I used it nearly daily back when I was into the third-gen Pokemon games. For someone having so many Pokemon games, a central storage and rapid transfer of Pokemon between games is useful beyond explanation. It's one of the biggest things I miss after moving up to the 4th gen Pokemon games.
