In europe I hardly see rhytm fever It's pretty uncommon over here unless I really want an italian version of the game pretty badly.

I see way more copies of radiant dawn or dokapon kingdom than rhytm fever. Should have bit the bullet and bought it for 10 - 15$ in stores who still had stock some years ago lol :P

Seeing as most GCN games are also on the PS2 and Xbox, it's preferable to get them for those consoles instead for far cheaper, and just get whatever happens to be exclusive to the console.

Aside from Die Hard Vendetta, a few other games I would recommend:
Conflict: Desert Storm ($8-$10 - also on PS2 and Xbox, but the one for GCN is the better version)
Odama ($10-$14)
Evolution Worlds ($15-20)
Mega Man Network Transmission ($25-$30)
Geist ($25-$30)

Don't know how much it goes for nowadays, but I managed to pick up Donkey Kong Jungle Beat and a pair of bongos for very cheap in 2018. I wouldn't necessarily include it on a list of "essential GC titles", but it is a neat little game that I don't hear people talk about enough.

I've only played it on PS2, but TimeSplitters 2 is a decent game and seemed to go for cheap on GC.

With GC it seems even worse than NES or SNES ever got.

I'd say the thing is that right now the GCN/PS2/XBOX generation is right in the "nostalgia sweet spot", as people who were kids when the system was out are now in their late twenties & early thirties, and now with increased disposable income, are trying to reacquire bits of their childhood. And with Covid still being a thing, sitting at home playing video games becomes more appealing and further incentivizes them (especially as other venues and hobbies are currently closed to them). Additionally, it doesn't help that Nintendo is very reluctant to port games forwards in generations like Sony and Microsoft do. Besides piracy, if you want to play Super Smash Bros. Melee, you need to get a Gamecube and a copy of the game, whereas if you wanted say, Final Fantasy or Halo, you can just grab a port with your latest system or PC and just go.
