With their GameCube selection on the Nintendo online package. There is a significant short amount of games they put on it when I know for a fact they have more because I had a GameCube with a library of games. I know what games I played and which ones were Nintendo exclusive. Sure luigiās mansion, wario world, and wind waker are on there but thatās not even a fraction of what I played when I had the console.
I do recognize several of the games I played were third party but there were still plenty of first party games. Custom Robo, for instance, is owned by Nintendo and featured the ability to customize battle robots that fought in an arena. If you remember Meda-Bots, I would say itās similar to that but more legally distinct enough to avoid japanās aggressive copyright laws. Last I checked, there has not been a custom robo game since that GameCube game which makes it a dead franchise waiting for resurrection. I believe custom robo would do very well with online multiplayer provided by Nintendo and could turn a profit off those who are tired of splatoon or call of duty clones. Third person robot arena action sounds epic for modern age gaming.
Of course I also have to mention Star Fox Adventure along with Star Fox Assault. With the recent inclusion of Fox McCloud in the Mario Galaxy movie (for some bizarre reason) it is a rather cruel pull to not have anything Star Fox related soon. I personally want Adventure remade because the original was rushed thanks to Microsoft swiping Rare away from Nintendo. Think we deserve a real fully complete release of Dinosaur Planet. Perhaps making Krystal the main character? Eh, maybe asking for too much there but I can dream. Anyway, either we get a Star Fox game soon (which would most likely be a remake of the first Star Fox game AGAIN) or theyāll plop one of the two GameCube games on the online subscription service. Thatās assuming theyāre not going to be corpo dicks and leave us with nothing. Rude.
Then thereās the hated Twilight Princess and when I say hated I mean Nintendo really did not want this one to do well. Limited marketing, developed at the end of the GameCube era, selling it on wii, and a cheap target practice game to confuse parents with. Yeah they were intentionally trying to Sabotage this one or just didnāt know what they were doing. People were not kind with Wind Waker and Twilight Princess was Nintendo answer to the people wanting realistic legend of Zelda. Nowadays people love Wind Waker and Nintendo seems to be wanting twilight princess quietly swept under the rug. Skyward Sword was released as a switch game and Iāve yet to see anyone comment something remotely positive about that one. Theyāll likely never release Twilight Princess as a switch game but they can at least have the courtesy of putting it in the corner of the subscription service for those of us who enjoyed it.
Oh and Kirby Air ride. I personally do not care for that game. I quite disliked it when it was on GameCube. But are we really going to ignore it after having its sequel released? Probably but the option to have the first one would be nice. Itās not begging like F-Zero has been so I guess this one is fine staying out.
But one game that wonāt stay quiet outside is Super Smash Bros Melee. Nintendo has gone on rampages trying to shut down melee tournaments, charities, and even uh whatever they call the thing you do to play Nintendo games on a personal computer. Itās clear to see melee has a much larger fan base than any of the sequels. Add in the same multiplayer from ultimate and Nintendo can probably bank off of melee fans. Itās such a simple suggestion that yield large profits, why wouldnāt they do it?
We have Mario tennis. We have Mario football. What we donāt have is Mario baseball! Yes baseball! The game where you cause chaos by swinging a stick that may or may not hit the ball being thrown at you. Mario sports are always whacky and insane with everyone powered up on not steroids unless steroids make you burst into flames now. Donāt know about you, but I would consult a doctor about thatā¦ if you can afford one. Regardless, all Mario sports are more fun than real sports primarily because we donāt have to go outside and touch dirty grass. Nintendo should complete the set and bring Superstar Baseball online. And/or release a Super Mario Sports collection like they did with Super Mario 3D All Stars. Speaking of which, WHERE IN BLAZES IS SUPER MARIO SUNSHINE? Thatās one of the 3 3D all stars, Nintendo, did you forget about it? 64 in online. Galaxy is sold as a switch game. So where is Sunshine?
Right, let me cool off a bit as some animals cross byā¦ ooooh, Animal Crossing debuted on the Nintendo GameCube. Sure we have new horizons on switch with switch service, but the original on GameCube has a much different flavor to it. For one, the villagers are absolute asshats that make you want to axe them. If youāre tired of the beach resort and super friendly npcs then youāll definitely enjoy a visit to middle of bumfuck nowhere where the hills are as billy as the residents. Just keep in mind that youāll be more in debt to that raccoon.
Hey did you know Metroid Prime was on the GameCube? Yes, all 3 of themā¦ I think, I know the first two were at least. Well I wonāt be interested in Metroid but thatās no reason anyone else should be denied it. Metroid Prime has waited decades for its 4th game and itās finally out on the switch after a remake of the first prime game. Which begs the question: what about the other two primes? Prime 2 and Prime 3 are missing from the switch. Are they remaking them much like the first Prime? Hopefully that doesnāt take another two decades. Switch would be long gone if it was that long. So if they wonāt remake them, they should port them to the online service. Let people have the full story! How rude it is to force people to go from the start of the story and drag them to the end with nothing in between! Tragic. Nintendo needs to fix this.
On the other side; we have all the Pikmin games out as switch games. I am pleased with that. Donāt know if theyāll drop Pikmin 1 and 2 off on the subscription service but they donāt need to. If they want to they can. But why would they? To get sales on a game theyāre already selling on shelves? Itās weird. Itās stupid. Itās possibly something Nintendo is going to do. Corpos have such smooth brains, theyāre lucky they stay in their heads.
Last one I can think of is Donkey Konga. There was a total of 3 maybe 4 on GameCube. They all used that weird bongo controller. No idea how theyād configure switch controls with that! They can certainly make an attempt. This one might be lost for good. Theyāll have to remake the whole game to fix those controls. Or maybe they already have konga set for regular GameCube controls and my brain slipped out because of how smooth it is. Idk, Iām not much of a donkey kong fan. Is konga something worth playing? Maybe Iād try if it somehow works on Nintendo switch.
One more thing thatās not GameCube!
Mystical Ninja staring Goemon. It was a Nintendo 64 game created by Konami. I remember enjoying it quite a bit waaay back in the day. Can Konami please give Nintendo permission to showcase it on Nintendo online? If not, can Konami remake it for modern consoles? It was good fun and Iād like to relive that time. Please?
Edit: Geist! I completely forgot about Geist! It was an M rated puzzle game where you played as a ghost that would posses objects to scare people so you could posses them. And Nintendo owns that ip which makes it a first party game exclusive to the GameCube. Such an underrated game that should be on Nintendo online.
