Shenmue Dojo

But of a story, but a couple of Chilean guys ive lived with in Oz are leaving tomorrow, and they sold me their Gamecube, with Zelda Special Edition and a few other games etc. But its a chipped (or whatever the terminology is) and it also played burned discs, and they also included a SNES disc with every single SNES game released on it. Pretty sweet!!

But i just want any advice, tips or reccomendations on the console, games, and also if its possible to burn discs of N64 games, or other Gamecube games? I really want the Master Quest edition of Ocarina of Time, and theres a burned disc here of Twilight Princess, but unfortunately it doesnt work.

You guys know the answer to all gaming questions, so no better place for me to ask i guess??

check out baten kaitos and baten kaitos origins if you still have the patience to play through long rpgs, I've never heard of a n64 emulator for GC though

Well one thing I'd definitely recommend is picking up a Gameboy Advance player for your gamecube.

Obviously you're going to want to play the Zelda games and Super Mario Sunshine, but there's plenty of other great games on the system too (it's probably my fav..)

My favorite game on the console is Phantasy Star Online 1 & 2. Perfect game for co-op but very repetetive. I honestly wouldn't recommend it unless you have people to play with, but if you do... it's a must.

Phantasy Star Online Ep. 3 is a card based RPG game and it's realllly fun. It's oftentimes overlooked and disregarded because it's such a departure from the first in the series but it's a grand ol' time.

There's also the Rogue Squadron games if you like the dog fight sections in Star Fox or if you're a fan of the first Rogue Squadron.

Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg is a fun platformer and one of the last games Yuji Naka was involved with when he was with Sega. Also, speaking of Sega, you can get both Sonic Adventure games on Gamecube if you missed them for some reason on Dreamcast.

You can also get almost every Resident Evil game (1 remake, 2, 3, code veronica, zero, and 4) on the console as well.

Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life is very great... I'd actually compare it to Shenmue in a way, at least as far as immersion and overall feel of the game goes. It's cheap too.

There's also Metroid Prime, Starfox Adventures, Twin Snakes... I'm tired. Hope this helps some. If not... I'm sorry.

In terms of games I urge you to try Billy Hatcher and Bloody Roar Primal Fury.

the resident evil 1 remake on gamecube is really good - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFhQrp5Bhhk

I didn't own a lot of gamecube games but my favorites were the RE remakes.They're a must if you own a GC.

I was never a huge GC fan. There are some really obvious greats on it (like any of the Zelda releases), but otherwise it's mostly just filled with cross-platform games.
It's still got a small amount of great exclusives though, most of which have been mentioned.
One I haven't seen anyone mention yet is Battalion Wars.
Excellent little tactical-TPS. Cartoony visuals, surprisingly heavy action, and a good sense of accomplishment when you lead your army to victory. I was going to put it in the overlooked games topic, but it probably fits here even better.

Tales of Symphonia is amazing, but again the asking price for it will be high. I assume even more so in Australia.

Yeah most of the GC's big one's have already been mentioned (I especially recommend Resi remake, Rogue Squadron and the Zelda games). I'd also recommend the lesser remembered Lost Kingdom games by From Software. They are card collecting/ battling fantasy RPG's and well worth a look in my opinion.

Biohazard Rebirth, Biohazard Zero, Twin Snakes, Eternal Darkness, Killer 7, Tales of Symphonia, Soul Calibur II, Viewtiful Joe and Beach Spikers. Go!

Just to warn you, you might not like Tales of Symphonia. ts very cliched and makes you do a lot of really dumb things.
