I've got all the A+ titles(both Zelda's,Mario,Smash Bros,Mario Kart,Mario Sports,RE4,ect) but I am wondering is maybe I am missing some sleeper titles that was good but was overlooked. What are your favorites that was good but didn't get much love?
 
yeah I got all the mario stuff. I'll check those games out. I enjoyed outlaw golf for Xbox is it the same one for GC?
 
I don't know how popular it was, but I went back and bought a copy of Paper Mario 1000 Year Door and it was really good. I had missed the whole Paper Mario series.
 
In before Eternal Darkness.

Beyond that, also look at:

Pikmin 2 (sort of a strategy game)
Prince Of Persia: Sands of Time (better than the sequels; available on pretty much all platforms though so you don't necessarily need to get it for the GameCube)
Rogue Squadron 2 (and to a lesser extent, 3)
Soul Calibur II (best fighting game for GCN)
Viewtiful Joe (very difficult but stylish and fun cel shaded beat-em-up)

Yeah, same game. Outlaw Golf 2 also came out on the Xbox, but not the GC. I'm hoping an Outlaw Golf 3 game comes out on the current gen systems, but I haven't heard anything about it.

Killer 7 was ridiculously bad... incredibly flawed AND boring. I was willing to forgive the broken mechanics (which I expected), but the game had no fucking variety. All 7 personalities offered very little diversity. And the actual "gameplay" is simply broken. Then again, this is just MO.

Games to play:

Resident Evil 4
Metroid Prime
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
Pikmin
Pikmin 2
Donkey Konga 1 & 2
Resident Evil 1 remake
Viewtiful Joe 1 & 2
Super Monkey Ball 2
Windwaker

What I hear is good:
Skies of Arcadia
Fire Emblem (hated it, strategy has zero depth)

By far, on this list. RE4 & Metroid Prime are the best 2 games on the system IMO.
 
MGS: Twin Snakes is enjoyable if you never played the original on PS1 and want to get into the series.

I would at least try Killer 7...it's a unique game.

Some other games:
Animal Crossing
Beyond Good & Evil
Tales of Symphonia

hahaha I was going to give you some credit until you mentioned liking Donkey Konga and hating Path of Radiance (Nintendo's most solid strategy game!)

Aside of that, you mentioned all 1st party games the OP already has or were previously mentioned, where are your second party contributions exactly?

Killer7 was a definitive title which scored well everywhere and was unlike anything else before it.
 
The overlooked Gamecube title list must always start with Eternal Darkness. Great, moody adventure/horror game with a superlative storyline.

If you liked Zelda, then chances are you passed over Star Fox Adventures, which has a lot of similar game mechanics. Unfortunately, not enough Arwing action.

Skies of Arcadia Legends is a port of the turn-based Dreamcast RPG with pretty much the same graphics and only a little new content, but I bought it anyway despite having played the original because I enjoyed the storyline so much.

Timesplitters 2 is a valiant attempt at Goldeneye/Perfect Dark-esque action for the Gamecube, but falters somewhat due to its franchise and somewhat silly time-travel inspired levels. However, the difficulty-based objective list and local co-op multiplayer are great features for one of the few FPS available for the Gamecube.
