GameCube games worth getting for cheap

You can also emulate them games on dolpin.

If you get some friends you can even play those games online wich isn't possible on the original console. mario kart smash bros melee wich even has a search system like the modern smash games nowadays.

I'd also recommend that for GBA games. four swords and the kirby games 2 - 4 players kinda hard to organize with original hardware.

Gamecube is not a fun console to collect for on the cheap I'd say, gotto spend some money or emulate. otherwise your better off going to ps2.

There was a time when collecting gamecube was fun but that hasn't been the case for 5+ years now. It's one of the most hard consoles to collect for in deals for quite some years now. Like legit your going to have more luck finding actual rare valuable titles that far surpass the cube than finding something good on cube.

and I'm talking snes, genesis even stuff like saturn is easier to actually find great deals for. to popular, people know way to much about it. it's to much on the spotlight. if a retro console ain't called the turbografx or neo geo aes it's going to be easier to find nice deals compared to cube from my personal experience anyway.

Majority of my cube deals was when it was easy in wich you find the stuff by the truck load for cheap. zelda and mario games for cheap was really easy hidden gems like gotcha force where ignored since most people didn't really know allot about it. but at a certain point it became really popular stupid popular, to many resellers and collectors searching for it I'd say.

the GameCube (at least where I lived)  at one time the cheapest 6th generation console to buy, and it had the cheapest games out of all consoles during this era 2004-2010. In fact GameStop must have loved the Nintendo GameCube since they even had their own self branded GameCube controller. I in their stores as a cheaper alternative to the official GameCube controller. The GameStop brand GameCube Controllers from this era were bigger then the official GameCube Controllers and used to be quality products sold new.

talking 2nd hand market when the games weren't sold in stores anymore. cheap deals for gamecube where plenty full 5+ years ago. but even there clearly it was the console in wich people did pay the higher prices if they where impatient.

ps2 and xbox where pretty much always pennies on the dollar. less attention and obviously with ps2 most people not knowing it's library aside from the bigger titles that you saw on the store shelves.

For stuff like Smash Bros., Mario Kart, Wave Race etc. where language isn't too much of a barrier, lots of these games can be had for half or less of their American / European counterparts.

Wave Race isn't expensive anyway.
