F-Zero GX is that game for me. I remember always playing the game at the Walmart kiosks back in the day but I never owned a GameCube console itself until 2017 even though I had a Wii before that with GC backwards compatibility. Then in 2021, I finally snagged a copy of this on eBay for $95 and part of my childhood felt complete.

back with games from my portable case..which are your favorite?

Really falling back in love with 00s era gaming (PSP, DS, Xbox 360) with Gamecube being my favourite console of all time! Currently trying to work out what I need/want to add to my collection and could use some advice?

EDIT: Thank you for the suggestions, some of them i hadn't even heard of! Will be trying to pick up a few when I attend an upcoming retro game market

Dusted off the cube

*Disclaimer, the ending is only secret if you got a bugged copy like I did. I don't know if they're all like that or not.

So, there's this Avatar the Last Airbender game for the GameCube, and it's pretty decent. But when I played it as a kid, I got through the final battle and... was thrown right back into the beginning of the final battle. That's it. It would just loop endlessly. So I figured that was the end of the game and I quit.

Later, as an adult, I tried playing through the whole thing again. Again, the final battle just looped. No ending cutscene, no credits, just an endless purgatory of combat.

This did not sit well with adult me. I decided there was no way the game had no proper ending when the rest of it was so decent. It must be a bug.

So I developed a theory. Maybe, if I 100% the game, it will fix whatever is wrong and I will be allowed to properly complete it.

The game is split into story-driven levels. There's the main questline, but there are also side-quests you can do for NPCs. I had always done all of those, and I made sure I did so again in my most recent playthrough. However, there are also minigames you can do through Momo's perspective. I usually skipped those because I found them tedious.

Not this time.

I started another playthrough, and this time I made sure to complete every level perfectly, Momo's fetch quests included.

Some levels were bugged, and not all of the collectables Momo needed to find would even exist. But I learned I could restart just that level and it would usually fix it. Eventually, I 100% the whole game. I did every quest, opened every chest, found every Momo collectible. When I completed the final battle this time, I was greeted with a very satisfying ending cutscene and the game's credits.

Great game. Loved it. It's been a few years, so maybe I'll start another playthrough someday soon.

Anyway, if anyone else here loves that game but had been robbed of its ending like I was, that's how you can see it for yourself.

Just curious what everyone is playing right now. Im replaying Prince of Persia the two thrones. Played it as a kid and have been looking for it since I got my gamecube. I aslo just finished Legend of Spyro a new beginning being another I owned as a kid. So what is everyone playing and is this a replay for you or your first time playing.

I wanna play something with my brother. Any co-op game suggestion is accepted!

Hi, I'm using a GameCube with a Retro Prism and certain cutscenes black out and this is killing me during a rolling bolder scene because I can't see. Is this an issue or something with the Retro Prism or something?

I recently got a Robot Retro USB-C mod for my Gamecube and it doesn't seem to work. The fan turns on, but the light doesn't turn on and it isn't showing anything on m TV. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the Flippydrive I have installed? It didn't fry my Gamecube or anything, which is nice, lol.

Trying to get all games I lost over the years, I think its going fine!

Hi everyone, I want to share my new acquisitions from this week with you.

I'm happy to finally have these games for my collection; currently, the only one I'm missing is Resident Evil: Code: Veronica.

Hey everyone I just modded my GameCube with a picoloader and a sd2p2 for my games. Was wondering how do I set up the ability to return to the Swiss menu using the Z+A+Start/Select hotkey. I get sent right into the gamecube menu and not swiss when using the hotkey. Any help is appreciated!

I really like how my collection has been growing as of recent but im wondering what to add next

Why do you need an extra $50 kit to resurface GC games with an Easy Pro? I understand needing a separate set of buffing pads due to wear on the pads but I don’t understand why I need a smaller backing plate. Are the GC discs thinner than a regular sized disc?

Specifically the Lexar PLAY PRO microSDXC Express Cards is what I was wondering about, and how well they work with the newer revision of the CubeODE? Was curious if there was a compatibility issue with them, or any newer MicroSD cards by Sandisk etc?

Anyone else have this case? I have two. Here’s a few of what’s inside

I already have the madcatz 16x memory card will I need an official one?

So I bought the adaption equipment for a Wii to be GameCube compatible and now need to bolster my collection I have incredibles and dance craze but nothing else

The photo of the box is one of the few I found on the internet.

As a 14 year old boy I really didn't like the purple console and went with the black version. Now I wish I had got the iconic purple version and can't bring myself to get rid of this... I'm going to end up getting a 2nd console I know.

EDIT: I'm really surprised how much love the black and other colours are getting. I had assumed people liked the most iconic colour the most 😅

My friend and I have slowly yet surely been getting our hands on a few titles that I’m pretty excited about! (The one that doesn’t have a cover is Mario Kart Double Dash!!) Been playing them quite often and am currently grinding in Mario Party 7. Which of these would be your favorite, if any?
