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?

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.
