Top 5 Gamecube games that need a Wii sequel

I agree wholeheartedly with all of your choices. The Rogue Leader sequel, however, would seem to be impossible now, for I understand that Factor 5 collapsed in December, one of many companies that couldn't weather the recession.

4 Swords Adventures could well be my favorite multiplayer game of all time, and that's coming from someone who loves multiplayer games above all else (local non-FPS multiplayer games, more specifically). I don't care so much about adding an online feature, though; the fun of 4 Swords is the interaction with your friends, and the clever balance it strikes between competition for the most Force Gems, on the one hand, and needing to work together, on the other. I bought 4 GBA's from a Goodwill and secured the cables online so that I could play this with my friends who are not too likely to have either of those, and it's always been such an enjoyable game with anyone, even those who haven't played a Zelda title before. The added twist of the vote, wherein everyone votes for the most helpful and least helpful players at the end of the level, and which then takes and adds gems accordingly, makes winning the game a bizarre dance between stealing gems first and still helping the team out enough to keep from being voted down. Online would kill most of this for me, personally, but as long as they allowed DS connectivity I certainly wouldn't mind if online were an option.

Damn, now I'm dying for a game of it. Looks like I'll need to get all the equipment out again sometime soon and convince some different friends to give it a go. I have a perverse dream of a perfect set-up for this game, by the way; my old Gamecube has the GameBoy Player addition, so that I can technically fire up 4 Swords on the Wii and then connect the Gamecube as a GBA, but I'll need to get 2 TVs into the room... now imagine 4 Gamecube stations hooked up around one large, central TV for the Wii. One day, when old TVs and Gamecubes reach a ridiculously low price at thrift stores, I could set that up in a garage or something, of course I'd need 3 more GameBoy Player additions.... a man can dream.
