When it comes to games on the Nintendo GameCube, the first one that many people think of is Resident Evil 4. This game is a classic on the console (as well as the other consoles it was released on) and it helped to pioneer a lot of really popular features in survival horror games to come, like the over-the-shoulder view. The game follows Resident Evil franchise veteran Leon S. Kennedy as he travels to a rural part of Europe to rescue Ashley, daughter of the US President. With the recent remakes of older Resident Evil games, fans are excited about reports that a remake of this one will be coming next, but playing it on one of the original consoles like the GameCube is always a fun option. Everyone Overlooked Eternal Darkness Sanity s Requiem
Although Resident Evil 4 was one of the most popular horror games on the GameCube when it was released, it was far from the only game in the genre that this console saw. Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem is a unique survival horror game that takes place in multiple timelines and has various "sanity effects" that really mess with the player and break the fourth wall. Although this game was overlooked during the GameCube's lifespan, this game has gone on to become a cult classic and is one of the most sought-after GameCube games, with new copies selling for . Everyone Had Super Mario Sunshine
Released in 2002, Super Mario Sunshine is a 3D platforming game in the Super Mario franchise. This is one of Nintendo's biggest franchises, so it's definitely no surprise that this game was such a massively popular one on the console. The game takes place on a tropical island known as Isle Delfino where all of our favorite Mario characters are vacationing. All is well until a villain known as Shadow Mario comes to ruin the fun. Everyone Overlooked Pokémon Colosseum
Considering what a massive success the Pokémon franchise has been for Nintendo, the idea that a game in the series was overlooked might seem strange. But, unlike the core games in the series, Pokémon Colosseum wasn't one that a lot of people picked up. This game is a combination of the battle gameplay-style of Pokémon Stadium with the RPG elements of the main games in the franchise, making it a pretty unique Pokémon game and a unique title on the GameCube. Everyone Had The Legend Of Zelda The Wind Waker
This Zelda game is so popular, it was re-released on the Wii U in an HD remaster several years after it was originally released on the Nintendo GameCube. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker is a unique game that totally set itself apart from the rest of the franchise because of its "toon-shaded" art style. This game follows Link on a grand adventure across the Great Sea, putting him face to face with some serious bad guys in true Legend of Zelda style. Everyone Overlooked Lost Kingdoms II
Lost Kingdoms II is an action-roleplaying game that has a really unique card-based battle system in which the main character, Tara, uses special cards to call creatures in to battle for her. The first game in the series, Lost Kingdoms, was also released on the GameCube, but follows a different character and many critics praised the sequel for improved effects and a unique storyline. Still, this game was definitely one that was overlooked by fans during the GameCube's time on the shelves. Everyone Had Super Smash Bros Melee
Even though the GameCube has been discontinued for over a decade, there are still a number of games that continue to be popular, especially in the competitive gaming world. Among these games is Super Smash Bros. Melee. This game is like the others in the Super Smash Bros. franchise in that it's a that features a ton of Nintendo characters. Even though Super Smash Bros. Ultimate was released, this game in the series is still massively popular in the esports industry. Everyone Overlooked Killer7
Although other SUDA51 games have been really popular, Killer7 is one that was largely overlooked by gamers when it was originally released on the Nintendo GameCube. Killer7 is a game that definitely features the surreal storylines that SUDA51 is known for in a way that would be fun to go back and play for anyone who enjoyed their other games like No More Heroes. The game is set in an alternate version of the early 21st century and follows a hitman with seven different personalities. Everyone Had The Legend Of Zelda Twilight Princess
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is the 13th game in the long-running Legend of Zelda franchise. This game was released on the Nintendo GameCube in 2006 and was definitely a more mature, action-oriented game than some others in the Zelda franchise. The game's slightly on the franchise definitely helped to make this game popular with a wide audience and it was a game that everyone had on their GameCube. Everyone Overlooked SSX On Tour
SSX on Tour is a skiing and snowboarding game that was released on the Nintendo GameCube in 2005. This game follows the player's character as they make their way through various winter sports competitions in order to become a superstar in the world of skiing or snowboarding. With a totally awesome soundtrack and some unique trick-based challenges and a ton of races, this game is one to check out for fans of sports games, but is one that was largely overlooked at release.
