Re: Gamecube - your favourite title and collecting

Re: Gamecube - your favourite title and collecting
I have the Wii version too but that wont complete my GC collection 

Re: Gamecube - your favourite title and collecting
DD seems to polarise opinion, but i really like it. Well worth tracking down, imo. I have two copies but i can't let you have one unfortunately. One is the ltd ed. gold sleeve edition and the other is part of a hardware pak.sscott wrote:Was always surprised they released this on GameCube, relatively rare now, think my fave game is F Zero GX as it is the game I return to most, still want to pick up Mario kart double dash as I have never played it.shiftytigger wrote:Just got Twilight Princess from Cex in Kilburn.

Not letting go this time.
Don't think Twilight Princess is anything like rare, just holds its value. There's always plenty on ebay on any given day.....unlike something like a PAL Teen Titans. Now that's rare

Re: Gamecube - your favourite title and collecting
I got my GC Twilight Princess copy at launch, that said I would probably be paying the same for it now.
I'd like to get it on the Wii too but after Skyward Sword i wonder if the controls will feel underdeveloped and i'll just prefer the GC controller anyway.
I think it's a great game, never really understood the apathy towards it some people have, I think I like it so much I'll probably have to get it on the Wii eventually anyway, it's possibly due a replay soon.

I've never understood the dislike for that one either. The main complaint seems to be people complaining they don't win all the time. On the harder settings the game does seem to 'cheat' a bit, but that's the challenge. Other than that the gameplay is absolutely fine and the dual characters is a great idea that mixes up the Mario Kart formula that people often say is stale. And of course needless to say multiplayer is great fun.nokgod wrote:DD seems to polarise opinion, but i really like it. Well worth tracking down, imo.

Re: Gamecube - your favourite title and collecting
Well I think my copy of Twilight Princess was well worth the equivalent of approx £10. I cant be 'rare' as such as ive had a few copies that sold well.
Teen Titans GC I think appeared once in the Cex in Coventry but not with the usual named barcode. Sadly at that time I wasn't really collecting fully. The same shop had several other titles I did buy but now looking back I wish I hadnt left it.

Re: Gamecube - your favourite title and collecting
Strange though, isn't it? The PS2 version i've seen for a quid or two on more than one occasion and seems reasonably common round here (so must have sold a decent amount) and the GC version was released only in France. Don't see the logic in that decision.shiftytigger wrote:Well I think my copy of Twilight Princess was well worth the equivalent of approx £10.

Re: Gamecube - your favourite title and collecting
I own both versions but have only ever played the Wii version due to getting it first. I had no problem with using the remote and nunchuk apart from when doing the fishing section later in the game but I think that was possibly also because I hate fishing sections so wasn't really taking proper notice.pratty wrote:I'd like to get it on the Wii too but after Skyward Sword i wonder if the controls will feel underdeveloped and i'll just prefer the GC controller anyway.

Re: Gamecube - your favourite title and collecting
I assumed the Wii controls would be fine, I might just wish they were like SS's controls though. One of my bothers has the Wii version so i'll have to borrow it sometime and try it out. It will be weird playing it seeing everyhing inverted.dste wrote:I own both versions but have only ever played the Wii version due to getting it first.

Re: Gamecube - your favourite title and collecting
I didn't like the handling of the karts. They felt a bit floaty in way that I didn't like...it's difficult to explain.pratty wrote:I've never understood the dislike for that one either.nokgod wrote:DD seems to polarise opinion, but i really like it. Well worth tracking down, imo.
Having said that, I enjoyed the game in multiplayer and the circuits are pretty nice. I sold my copy last year and don't really regret it because the DS game is where I go for my Mario Kart fix.
Retro is a state of mind, and cares not for your puny concepts like dates and calendars.
Re: Gamecube - your favourite title and collecting
The Wii Twilight Princess is not as good as the GC version. The only thing the GC version doesn't have is 16:9 support, everything else is better. The Wii even has a really hideous blur filter over it, I can only assume to make the game look 'better' on LCD televisions.

Re: Gamecube - your favourite title and collecting
Also the entire wii version of Twilight Princess is mirrored because most people are right handed, Link holds his sword in his left hand normally.


Re: Gamecube - your favourite title and collecting
I did not know that. Plus, i'm left handed so the Wii version can bugger off. 

Re: Gamecube - your favourite title and collecting
Speaking of Doubledash, I found this vid posted on another forum, very cool.

Re: Gamecube - your favourite title and collecting
For some reason I've never gotten into DD, I've put it on a few times and played a couple of races then switched it off again.
When my consoles are set-up again I'm going to give it another crack.

Re: Gamecube - your favourite title and collecting
I gave it quite a few goes and it never grew on me. The Zelda bonus disc I got on day one gets more play. None of the MK series have quite grabbed me like the first apart from MK DS and GBA.
Really didnt enjoy it on the wii though it was better playing on a classic controller. For me Sonic racing transformed has taken its place although the Snes does get unpacked every now and then for a blast.
