15 Best Looking Gamecube Games That Were Ahead of Their Time

Back when the Xbox first entered the industry and Sony was building up the PlayStation 2, Nintendo made its mark in a unique way. Eschewing DVDs in favor of proprietary miniDVDs and utilizing a box-like design with a handle, the GameCube was something special.

It didn't skimp on the powerful technology, producing some truly amazing games that still stand out. Let's take a look at 15 such games here.

I’m still blown away by how good RE1 remake looked. Released in 2002 on GameCube. I’ll never forget my reaction way back then

[kerrydustin]

Ahh the GameCube. Such an underrated console.

No generation leap has wowed me more than the jump from PS1/N64 to PS2/GCN/Xbox,

Today's generational leaps start with HD versions/high FPS versions of last gen games and it take years to get to speed so we get slowly accustomed to the new power, while those Gamecube games felt like graphical slaps in the face, miles ahead of the N64's league.

Damn the gamecube was and still is amazing. It had some of the BEST games out still today.

Resident Evil Remake felt like it was better then anything on the other two consoles.

I hooked up my Gamecube to play RE Remake and Twilight Princess. It holds up surprisingly well.

For me GC was one of the best systems ever and probably top 3 all time for Nintendo. It had an amazing library.

I swear that this video is just shining a light on all of my childhood games. I'm surprised I didn't see The Legend of Spyro on this list, I always thought that game had impressive graphics for a Gamecube game

[superchargedsteve]

You forgot about Eternal Darkness Sanity's requiem!!! Quite possibly my favorite game on that system and the crazy sanity effects were really fun and genuinely frightening!

Star fox adventures was such a difficult game.. was stuck on parts for months as a kid.

[chchris]

These games looked impressive on a CRT TV

4:20 - Soul Calibur 2 was very nice on the Gamecube but Soul Calibur was even better on the Dreamcast :)

[brycehall]

If you think or see Wind Waker and don't get goosebumps from such a nostalgic moment of playing that beautiful game then are you even human?

[HolyCross]

I sure hope Star Fox: Adventures is on this list.

Edit: YES!

When i seen the visuals of resident evil remake in 2001 i knew right there and then that i had to ask my mother to buy me one and the fact that i was able to connect my gba made it that much sweeter.

[Naifpxl]

For me
The gamecube is the most fun console ever

[wA_TroCon]

I've always played my GameCube & Wii games using the Nintendo brand component cables to fully utilize the processing power & get that 480 Progressive resolution. The GC games looked great! Still have & play mine occasionally either on GC or Wii. I have every game mentioned here but F-zero.

[JasonsMankyBoot]

I remember being disappointed that the Charge Beam in Metroid Prime 2 didn't cast light effects on the environments.

[kennedyclarkjrpg]

Why is Rebel Strike never included on these lists? It’s gotta be the most advanced game of that generation.

Recently bought a GameCube because it was one of my favourite consoles of all time! Now it sits proudly hooked up to a CRT alongside my Series X. Starfox Adventures was an incredible game from what I remember, definitely going to be picking it up again soon!
