10. Viewtiful Joe
9. Pikmin 2
8. Soul Calibur II
7. Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem
6. Metroid Prime
5. Beyond Good & Evil

8. Viewtiful Joe

10. Tales of Symphonia
Honorable mentions would be Taito Legends 2 and P.N.03(for some strange reason I really like this game)
FZero is especially amazing. Probably one of the best racers ever.
I had never played a Resident Evil before RE4 and had low expectations for it when I got it. It blew me away once I got into it.
How does the Resident Evil remake go without mention? That was THE reason I owned a Gamecube. Hell, it's the reason I still own a gamecube, I seriously can't think of a game that I played through more and was just so pitch perfect. Ninja Gaiden is the only contender in my book.
I mentioned in a few posts above yours. I loved that game. I was so damn excited leading up to the release of that game and it held up to my expectations. Just awesome and probably one of the best looking games on the system. Heck it still looks better than most Wii games.
Here's proof of that, just look at the lighting, ect...

Now I see it. Anyway, considering that the game came out in 2002, the graphics are pretty astounding. The hold up well and looked superior to anything else at the time. I also liked how the difficulty was more fair compared to the original. The controls were easier to maneuver and I didn't feel that moving around Jill Valentine was like driving a tank. Replaying the PS1 version, I had a bastard of a time fighting off the dogs and hunters, it was actually much harder than I remembered when I played it when I was 13.
Another cool thing about the remake was how they connected some of the later plot lines and characters to fit better with the games that chronologically came later. I thought that it was a nice touch.

Indeed. They changed up the flow and many of the areas a bit as well, so it never felt stale. If only they would have remade my favorite game of all time (Resident Evil 2). I would have loved to see RE2 with a brilliant remake like this one.
Mario Sunshine
Wind Waker
Eternal Darkness
Metroid Prime
Resident Evil 4
Twilight Princess
Viewtiful Joe
RE 2 was the better game and it would've been sweet to see a remake especially considering that one of the main characters in it was featured so prominantly in RE4. Damn, I wish Capcom would make em like this again instead of the action bullshit they did with Resident Evil 5. Don't get me wrong, it's a fantastic action game, but it's not a Resident Evil game at this point. The game was devoid of any real scares and I felt like it should be it's own seperate thing.
True, hopefully with the new 3DS RE they will get back to the old style of scares that they have been moving away from. So far it looks like they might be doing just that with that game. As far as the other gamecube RE's... yeah when I heard they were all coming to the Gamecube I was super excited. Then I found out they were just ports and nothing was getting overhauled... sucky. If they would have done anything, like upgraded the textures I would have gladly rebought RE2, RE3 and my one of my favorites RE: CV, but oh well.
I'd take a look at Resident Evil, Resident Evil Zero & Skies of Arcadia.

I don't have as much of a problem with the action-oriented RE4 and 5 games as much as the stupid rail-shooter crap that Capcom seems to be so fond of now. Ugh.

I got a kick out of Resident Evil 4 but RE 5 just took it way too far out of the genre it started. RE 4 still had some horror elements to it and provided a creepy atmosphere. The on the rails stuff, I never actually tried but it's not my thing unless someone at Sega revives House of the Dead with an actual lightgun.
1.Pikmin series
2. R. E. series
3. Eternal darkness
4. Beyond good and evil
5. Luigi's Mansion
6. approx a dozen more kick ass games!
7.Non-existent Earthbound sequel
