Shortly following Prime we were again treated to Nintendo's first-person adventure series with Echoes, then by Prime Hunters on DS and eventually the pending release of Prime 3: Corruption on Wii. As a surprising classic released in 2002 (two years prior to games like Resident Evil 4), Metroid Prime redefined Nintendo's classic franchise, and ushered it into a new 3D era. For GameCube, Metroid Prime is that game. Check out our Metroid Prime WikiWhen it all comes down to it, only one game can truly sit at the top of a list, proving what the system was about, pushing gameplay and graphics to the limit, and delivering the most immersive package for console owners.
That being said, if included Twilight Princess would have been listed even higher on the list, as we consider it to be a true homecoming for the franchise. We've excluded Twilight Princess from the Top 25 GameCube list, as it was predominantly a Wii game, releasing first on Nintendo's new console and in much, much higher numbers, though for Wii-less fans out there the one-two punch of Wind Waker and Twilight Princess propels the Zelda franchise into truly legendary status on GameCube. The title boasted the same tight control mechanics and brilliant level designs that have together made Nintendo's acclaimed franchise so popular. However, those who dove into Wind Waker found that the magic of the Zelda franchise was still there. Everyone expected a mature themed adventure, and fans were split between loving and hating this vision. When Nintendo released The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, it was fearless. Check out our The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker WikiIt's amazing how much faith players can put in a franchise, and when that franchise continues (as we want it to), how often our vision is different from the final product.This was the first time doing absolutely nothing in a game was still fun, as we've lost countless hours at the hands of the classic Dolphin Park resort. The game features a great sense of water racing, hosts some intense tricks, looks beautiful, and is simply a blast to cruise around in. While the Sony crowd had games like Jet Moto, Nintendo fans had what many would consider to be the best jet ski racing franchise out there (oh we know… there are so many of them), so when the game made a jump from N64 over to GameCube Nintendo loyals went crazy for it, and rightfully so. It got its humble beginnings on the original black and white Game Boy, moved over to the Nintendo 64 along with the cult classic 1080 Snowboarding, and played an integral part in the launch of the GameCube. Check out our Wave Race: Blue Storm WikiIf you've been a longtime fan of Nintendo, you most-likely remember a franchise called Wave Race.

Developer: Nintendo Software Technology.In the meantime, pick this game up and cherish it. Maybe Namco will give the series a much-needed return on Wii. It's a sweet little package, and well worth the price. After all, the GCN got the best version anyways, and nobody can take that away now.

Makes sense, right? After all, it sold the best on ($) the Cube, so why not bring it to ($) PS2 instead? All joking aside, fans can't complain too much. Where did the franchise go after that? For some odd reason ($), the series made ($) its way over to the PS2 ($). Each version includes a specific character, and no other version sold as well as the Cube package, offering good ole' Link as the headlining character. Releasing on all three systems, the title had a golden year in 2003-2004. In most gamer's minds, SCII is the gem of the series.
