I'm probably going to get a new game soon for either the DS or Gamecube, and I have the following on my mind:

Metroid Prime
Metroid Prime Hunters(Nintendo WFC)
Animal Crossing
Animal Crossing: Wild World(Yes I have nintendo WFC)
Pokemon XD:Gale of Darkness
Tales of Symphonia
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance

I have my eyes set mainly on Metroid Prime, but do you think I should get another game on this list?

Tales is an awesome game. One of my dad's friend told me and my brother about it. It can be a 1-4 player co-op. Love Kratos in there. :D If not Metroid Prime, try this game out.

For me it's a choice between either Metroid Prime or Tales of Symphonia. Metroid Prime was an amazing game, but Tales of Symphonia was the most fun I've ever had with any RPG, and possibly any game. Don't ask me why, I couldn't tell you. ^^; I will warn you this though: don't ultimately choose your next games based on reviews, as you'll find Metroid Prime to be the clearcut winner, though it may not be the best game for you.

Yeah, I put Tales on the list because my friend has it we played the beginning part. I seemed pretty good, but I'm not really used to RPG's other than Pokemon.

You mean, you can only choose ONE between Metroid Prime and Tales of Symphonia O_O

Why? Both are the sheer epitome of awesomeness! Looking back, I do note even know how I LIVED without BOTH of those games!

They are absolute Gamecube STAPLES! If you have a Gamecube, but neither MP nor ToS you do not DESERVE that Gamecube for your bad game-choosing decisions! If you have only one, I pity your pour soul as it is forever tormented by not having enough awesome games...

Metroid Prime is only $20, so there is no excuse not to be able to afford both!

You sure know my life...

Anywho, what about the other games on the list. Are they worth getting?

Well, all joking aside:

-Metroid Prime: As I said, awesome; a must have. It’s just the perfect blend of action and adventuring, and you’ll soon get addicted to exploring every little niche of every level hoping to find some upgrade. The action can be intense at times, especially near the end of the game, however I prefer Echoes’ action over the original’s. Nevertheless, Prime’s what got me liking FPS games (even if it’s not really a true FPS...)

-Animal Crossing: Okay, although can be repetitive after a while and is inferior to the DS version. If doing simple chores like fishing, gardening, arranging furniture, etc sounds fun to you, go for Wild Worlds instead. One of the main points I have against the Gamecube version is having to play it at home can be a bother for time sensitive events, but Wild World fixes that.

-Animal Crossing: Wild World: As said above, if doing the chores that the game is all about sounds like something you’ll enjoy doing, go with this version. Being portable with a real time game like this is a necessity, so WW is far superior to the Gamecube version in my mind. The Wifi I imagine can help add to the game, however I haven’t used it all that much due to it being a pain to use with our router...

-Pokémon XD Gale of Darkness: Well, you’ll get lots of mixed opinions on this... Personally, I think XD is great and fixes a lot of things Colosseum had wrong. Sure, it may not be the same as the Gameboy versions, but then again everyone seems to be crying for change all the time. In short, XD has the same core gameplay as the Gameboy versions (snagging is just the same as catching, people; just with a more limited selection...) but a better story, decent 3D graphics (except for the older Pokémon and even some of the new ones), and a good length.

-Tales of Symphonia: Pretty much among my favorite RPGs ever (Although I’m still having a hard time deciding between it and Skies of Arcadia, which is another awesome RPG available for Gamecube, although hard to find). The battle system, while it may seem like battle mashing at first, is extremely fun once you start getting some of the more advanced techs. The story may not seem great at first, however it picks up speed somewhere around a quarter to a third of the way through the game. Admittedly, the story still isn’t the best, but it’s long. You can easily spend over 60 hours playing even if you ignore most of the side-quests...

The other two I haven’t played enough of (in Fire Emblem’s case) or at all (Hunter’s) for me to be able to judge.

Animal Crossing Wild World: Very good, and has a lot of Reply Value. If not for the latter, it would not be a good game.

You might want to get Mario Super Star Baseball. But nowbody nowadays really plays baseball games. At least the people that I know.

I would recommend Tales of Symphonia without a second thought. It is easily the best RPG I've ever played, and among my top 5 ever(along with KH2, Zelda WW, original Pokemon, and Gold/Silver). As said, it is long, has a very engaging story
(you seriously think the game is going to be over about 5 times, then someone betrays you)
. Plus, the battle systme never gets old, and the difficulty(in and out of battle) pushes you, but never to where you wnat to throw the controller through the TV. Pure perfection.

But, if not, then Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. I just beat it,and it too has an engaging story, great gameplay, and makes you think. I highly recommend both.

Not to mention that the story and overall length is long. I put in about 65 hours on my first playthrough. But that said, I then played through a second time to ensure that could unlock even more content and sidequests. Rebuilding Luin, the Devil's Arms, Maxwell the Summon Spirit; these are just a few of the many sidequests that will leave you enthralled in a true tale of the ages. ;)

Out of those choices, Metroid Prime EASILY. It's one of the best games of all time!

Well, out of the choices, I only have one, which is Metroid Prime, and I love that game. It's by far one of the greatest game's I've ever played, so I would suggest you get it. But if you don't want that, I would get Fire Emblem, XD, or Metroid Hunters. I want all three of those games.

Not if you buy it used. If you get it used at EBgames or Gamestop, then it's only $9.99. Sometimes they even have it as low as $5.99. That is, if you don't mind getting it used. I personally don't, but some people prefer to spend more money to get it new.

I was sooo obsessed with Animal Crossing for Gamecube last summer - - it's SOO addicting. I'd completely recommend it!

So, I basically narrowed it down to Metroid Prime or Tales of Symphonia.

Metroid Prime: This would be my first FPS/FPA if I got it, aso it might take some time to get used to the system. Overall, though, I've heard it's pretty much a great game, right?

Tales of Symphonia: The only other RPG other than Pokemon I've played was Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, and even that was pretty unique. Plus, I'm not sure, but is this some other GCN version of Final Fantasy?

Get Metrois Prime for the GameCube, or as a second option get Metroid Prime Hunters, hope this helps ;)

Deoxys Prime

Time will tell.
Metroid Prime: Yeah, this is a very good game at a very good price. It's fun and lasts a while, can get confusing, if you don't know a certain skill. (8)

Metroid Prime Hunters: This game... Is my absolute favorite out of this list. The story mode is fairly short for a metroid game, but it's still good. With WiFi, this game is the epitome of Godlikeness. (With WiFi: 10) (Without: 8)

Animal Crossing: Its good, but Wild World is better. (8)

Animal Crossing: Wild World: Better than the original, plus, you can catch more stuff, there's more stuff and things to do, and visiting other towns over WiFi is pretty cool. (Wifi: 9) (Without: 8.5)

Pokemon XD:Gale of Darkness: I loved this one, 83 Kanto/Johto/Hoenn pokes alltogether, plus, you can get Lugia, I recommend this if you want something a little bit laid back compared to fast button mashing. (9)

Tales of Symphonia: The god of all Gamecube "Pure" RPGs (9)

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance: An Excellent game, has its perks and its downsides, can get fairly confusing, but, it is pretty cool. (8)

I Reccommend Metroid Prime Hunters, followed by Pokemon XD.
