Thanks: Gave 18, Got 40 | Please recommend two Gamecube games for kids
I have decided after much deliberation to buy my kids - boys aged 4 and 6 - a GC for Christmas. The best price I can find it for is 99 pounds with Mario Kart.
I also want to pick up another two games for them but to be honest I have no idea what to go for. Recommedations given their ages would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hmmm
luigi mansion - good game but a little short but you could pick it up for £20 now.
super monkey ball 1 or 2
mario party 5 - brilliant multiplayer

Super Monkey Ball definitely - enjoyable at all ages
Not sure what else. I wouldn't go for Luigi's Mansion to be honest. Not sure why.

Mario Kart is fantastic for kids as is Pikmin. Zelda would be great too, but is a bit hard for kids. Mario Sunshine is rubbish, don't bother with that, Luigi's Mansion is a better game. Finding Nemo would be great for kids, and the hobbit is coming soon too which would be good.

Super MOnkey Ball and Luigi mansion are available at £19.99 each (part of the platinum series I believe).
So you actually afford those two for the samee price as one game
then buy mario party 5 as the other.
and yes they will lve mario kart

Any mario party game (4 may be reduced)
Super Monkey Ball 1 or 2
Will you allow them to play fighting games? They may enjoy Soul Calibur 2

Ok perfect.
I am going to pick up Super Monkey Ball and Mario Party 5 as the other two games to go with Mario Kart. Whats the difference between Monkey Ball 1 or 2 - which one should I go for ?
Will go for Luigi's mansion, Finding Nemo etc later on.
Dont mind fighting games - I grew up on Way of the exploding fist etc - didnt do me any harm. Will look into Soul Calibur.

Super monkey ball 2 better multiplay
Super monkey ball 1 in my opinion better single play
But 1 is about half the price of 2 now.
As i say you can pick up super monkey ball 1 and luigi mansion for £40 toital.
Which is the same price as just buying super monkey ball 2
and mario party 5 is the best mario party game but it isnt out until the 5th december in the UK i think (i have us gamecube)

rags,
you can get monley ball 1 & mario party 4 for 14.99 & 16.99 at mobilshop.com at the moment. Mario party 5 can be had for £30 pre-order at amazon. I also think Mario sunshine is great but will probably be a bit hard, my 8ry old loves it & still plays it after a year.

Yeah it is, but Soul Caliber 2 is light years ahead of it, the only fighting game on the GC worth getting
