Nostalgic games that still gets you.

Nostalgia's a weird thing. I was feeling really nostalgic for a bunch of Gamecube games recently so I went out and bought a whole bunch of them.

- Disney Sports Basketball was great when I was younger, I liked the feel of it. However, playing it now just makes it seem like a clunky mess.
- Cubivore was... a fantastic idea. It's like spore 8 years early. If they ever made a Cubivore 2, I would be all over that.
-Chibi Robo was amazing as always. I'm very happy they're bringing the character back in Zip-lash, but I really want a sequel to the original.
- Super Smash Bros. Melee was of course excellent (the achievements for EVERYTHING, adventure mode and Ice Climbers need to be back for the next smash.)
- Super Mario Sunshine was just as I remember, tight controls, great gameplay. Miles better than 64.
- Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance was great, but after playing through Fates, it seemed rather... primitive.

My biggest disappointment was probably Wario World. I remembered it being great fun. Played through it last week... Nope. Got through the first level and put it back in its case.

One game however, I found to be ageless. SSX TRICKY! Even now, almost 15 years later, it is still amazing. Tracks are excellent, characters are great. I don't want another SSX in the style of the latest one (though after Blur, that was a step in the right direction). No, if they released SSX Tricky 2 I would throw all of my money at EA (NX launch title please EA.)


Outside of GC games, I also recently played Streets of Simcity on the PC and it was fantastic. The soundtrack is absolutely incredible, so many great tracks. It is rather buggy, but a sequel is long overdue (never going to happen, but overdue nonetheless.)
