Eternal Darkness: Sanity's RequiemĬribbing heavily from the works of classic horror scribe H.P. Throw in a customizable garage mode and you've got something to keep gearheads, speed freaks, and hardcore nut jobs entranced for hours. Overcoming these races is a source of pride that any gamer would be glad to brag about. Then you dive into the story mode, where things somehow get even harder. It's this ultimate hardcore appeal that makes F-Zero GX such a standout game, for no other title on the system is so unapologetic about its infuriating difficulty. If you slip once, you'll see about 20 speeding hovercrafts go flying past in less than half a second. The racing intensity is blown into overdrive once you start getting into the harder circuits.į-Zero GX goes from fairly challenging to rip-your-hair-out impossible, requiring you to race perfectly without making a single mistake. It's the fastest game on the system, not to mention one of the prettiest when viewed in widescreen ,and progressive scan support ensures this game will still look presentable years later. Even with all the other cars on the screen, blasting at top speed in a fire-spewing cave with a magnetized pole acting as a course, F-Zero GX does not stutter. It's one thing for a racing game to make it seem like you're driving 150mph, but it's quite another when the game can fling your hovercraft through a mile-high loop at 2000kph while 29 other racers try to bump you out of the sky… and make you believe it. It's time to get weird, as we celebrate the 25 best GameCube games ever made.

GameCube may not have had the most games, but it was never lacking in quality, playing host to some of the best entries in the Zelda, Metroid, and Resident Evil franchises while also bringing an array of incredible, wholly original content. Melee all reported as being in testing – but for now, we can console ourselves with ability to play Switch games using a GameCube controller.

We live in hope that Nintendo may bring its classic Gamecube titles to Switch via a new version of Virtual Console – as was rumored back in 2016, with Super Mario Sunshine, Luigi's Mansion and Super Smash Bros. Nintendo's quirky and much-beloved fourth home console had some absolutely smashing titles, which have gone down in history as some of Nintendo's most unique and eclectic games. With the gamecube roms just turning the ripe old age of 20, there's never been a better time to get nostalgic about the best GameCube games. The best GameCube games feature some of Nintendo's best work, in addition to a host of fantastic third-party titles
