If there is one thing to be said about features that the Wii has over its competitors it is that it is 100% backwards compatible with its predecessor. Every GameCube disc will play on your Wii, no questions asked, which, in my opinion, is awesome.
I was a latecomer to the GameCube, holding out until “Mario Kart: Double Dash” was released, but that’s when I dove in. Being the habitual video game collector that I am, I have been doing my best to fill out my GameCube library with the best the box had to offer. I feel that I’ve done a pretty good job of picking up most of the worthwhile titles. I focused mainly on the first party games since, for the most part, if a multiplatform game came out last generation, I picked it up on the PS2. The collector in me rears its head when it comes to some of the titles on the system that are hard to find. If it’s rare, I’ll do my best to get it.
My collection is nowhere near complete, and I’m not going to claim that it is. However, I think I have picked up most of the games that suit my taste, but I’m not sure where to stop. I was planning on holding out and waiting for “Radio Allergy” to be released, but that doesn’t look like it’s going to happen… ever.
Have I missed any important GameCube games?
This is where you come in. Please take a look at the list of titles in my GameCube collection and let me know if there are any more that I need to pick up. Am I missing your favorite? Are there any really hard to find games that are worth hunting down? Help me figure out where to stop before these games completely disappear from store shelves.
Last week at the DICE summit in Las Vegas I interviewed Blizzard co-founder Frank Pearce about many things going on in his company. Most of our conversation will appear on MTVNews.com.
