Default Recommendations for GC games

So I skipped the Gamecube generation, but I will be getting the Wii at launch.

So what are some of the best Gamecube games that I have missed?

What games should I go buy at a pawn shop?

Mario Sunshine?
Wind Waker?
Star Fox?
Metroid?
any others?

Of course I'll be getting TP, and also Wind Waker since I would like to experience both of them.

Null, don't be a jackass.

Anyways, Yoda, you're in luck. I happened to collect every game worth it for the gamecube and have it documented here:

http://club.ign.com/b/list/custom?&o...1=20113&objt=1

I would recommend every one of those, except for some of the sports titles (like Virtua Striker 2002) and Shadow the Hedgehog/Sonic Riders (worst games ever). Everything on there I enjoy having in my Gamecube collection.

The first Metroid Prime, F-Zero GX and Viewtiful Joe (the first one) are probably the three best games on the system. I love Battalion Wars, if you really like MP, get MP2, if you can deal with LOTS of pointless sailing across vast oceans, snag Zelda, if you like RE (I don't) I understand RE4 is the best ever in the series. Lots of people will tell you to get Mario Sunshine, and at $20 you can't go wrong, but I was really disappointed with it.
