I didn't really read all of the six pages of this topic.

However I just had to drop in a line to mention Condemned: Criminal Origins.

It isn't a brilliant game but it is crazy scary, I promise you. 

Bomberman 93 - really fun multiplayer

Super Castlevania IV - good music, and original castlevania formula, hell yeah!

Donkey Kong Country - solid plattformer

Comix Zone - takes me back to good old punch'em games (still waiting for Streets of Rage 2)

Gunstar Heroes - i'm not sure i like it, got it because of good reviews (had not played it before)

holding out for starfox64 and (as stated) Streets of Rage 2

Might also get Super Mario World, and Zelda: Lttp, now those are solid titles!

actually the classic controller does not work at all with gamecube, neither the wii remote.

to play gamecube games, you need a gamecube controller

anyway, i suggest Paper mario: ttyd and, of course, Resident evil 4.

cheerio!
