30 minutes later: i uh. may have gone a little trigger happy buying some games :D;;;;;

i promise this isn't totally unhinged; i prefer gaming away from my laptops after work as a way to wind down so my GC probably sees more genuine use to this day than most folks. anyway, reasonably priced resident evil 4, twin snakes, paper mario (switch vers), & metroid prime now added to the queue after ff12 :3  i'm also totally up for taking GC/switch suggestions, kinda want to give star fox a try on there? maybe get soul calibur 2??) 

I SHOULD ADD this was heavily inspired by 4chan's aggregated "top 150 games of all time" which had a disproportionate amount these games on it; been slowly trying to work through all of them!

TWIN SNAKES YES

(also paper mario)

problem w/ gamecube star fox is that it's Star Fox Adventures, which is very much not a rail shooter and imo a pretty mid adventure game. not disastrously bad, just wasn't especially good either

twin snakes is so funny because I *thiiiiiink* i brought a version for the ps2 (could have been the GC???) back in my college days when i was running through the rest of the series, but it just didn't work for some reason. i was pretty spoiled for fantastic video games having now been 'freed from the T-rating limitations' of escaping home for the first time (lol) so it'll be awesome actually getting a copy that works and appreciating it properly without as much competition. :3

honestly, that was me finding radiant dawn in a game store. i had money! i have a console that can play it! it is only going to go up in price!!

(and when i found shadows of valentia.)

asked my gf her top three gc games as she's an og gamer and she said twin snakes, metroid prime 1 and 2, and smash melee. (that's four games. and then she listed about five more. she also said soul calibur 2 was super fun, really remembers that one fondly. she also said that star fox adventures is fun but mid.)

you seem to be on a solid track! excited to hear about your experience playing twin snakes!

omg your gf has excellent taste there! (haha not just saying that since it's almost an exact match XD). super exciting to hear they hold up for somebody else who remembered them back in the day. i forgot to mention i think i played a week of Prime back in the day after renting it from blockbuster but then never got around to putting it on the christmas list.

so glad you did get to grab a copy of radiant dawn too. <3 it's good for your brain to get little treats like that.

Resident Evil 0 is a highly underrated entry in the series, and on gamecube! It makes some fun use of the controller too, I really enjoyed it. Also in a similar vein, the gamecube "remake" of Resident Evil 1 is fantastic! To be honest I only bought a very cheap secondhand one specifically for those two games lmao, so that's the whole extent of my recs XD

ooooh fantastic to know >:D if RE4's vibe hooks me in, i'll absolutely be going for those two next.
