3. Resident Evil
Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes wasn’t the only PlayStation classic to receive a GameCube update. In 2002, Capcom gave GameCube a remake of the original Resident Evil game. The resulting title was a masterpiece, taking away the cheesiness of the original game, and delivering an experience that lived up to the concept of survival horror. Updated voice acting, music, and visuals made this game less of a remake, and more of a brand-new experience.
Since the release of the Resident Evil remake, the franchise has become a staple on Nintendo consoles. Most recently, Resident Evil: Revelations appeared on 3DS and Wii U, giving fans yet another dose of the survival horror gameplay that they love.
Glad to see Super Monkey Ball so high on the list. (Although I prefer the second one) It’s a shame that Amusement Vision isn’t around anymore, because I really enjoyed what they were doing on the GameCube.
Great list. All are worthy of inclusion. I’m particularly glad to see Skies of Arcadia Legends get some love; it’s a very good RPG and filled a massive hole in the Cube library at the time of its release.
I have long thought Baten Kaitos Origins to be the best of the Cube RPGs — better than Symphonia, better than Arcadia. It gets little love because it was released so late and sold in very few quantities. Even in my own list I left it off, mostly because Symphonia was a more groundbreaking and important RPG, and because its combat was pure awesome.
