Beyond Good and Evil
Rayman 3
Mario Kart Double Dash
Mario Golf
Pikmin
Animal Crossing
Zelda Collector's disc with the original Zelda, Zelda 2, Majora's Mask
and Ocarina of Time
Ocarina of Time Master Quest

I second Twilight Princess.

All of these are rated E or T because I have a young child, he watches
me play. Check them out though, maybe Animal Crossing is too kiddy,
I'm a 30 something year old mom who likes it so you never know.

Great for family fun:

Mario Kart Double Dash
Mario Party series

Make sure you have 2, 3 or 4 controllers.

Eternal Darkness
Resident Evil 4

This is my favorite GC game to date.

Yup. RE4 is just an incredible game, it's damn near perfect in both
look and gameplay. Amazingly enough, it has quite a bit of replay value
too, with the various difficulty levels (the first village battle on
"professional" mode is exhilarating, there's very little room to screw
up!), extra super weapons you can only realistically get in a replay
(because they cost so much money), the unlockable game stuff, etc. The
atmosphere varies quite a bit, from straight-out action to creepy
tension to the weird baroque romp through the castle, all of it balanced
_really_ well (nothing's impossible, but there are many places where
you'll initially think it is!). I rarely even finish most games (just
not enough time) but I must have played through RE4 like 6-7 times!!

Also:

* Metroid Prime 2 is wonderful, even more polished than MP1, and
with an added bit of creepiness...

* Paper mario RPG; a fun twist on the japanese RPG formula

* Pikmin 2

* Some japanese-style RPGs (if you like that sort of thing): Tales of
Symphonia and Skies of Arcadia Legend (the latter is a dreamcast port
so it doesn't look all that great, but it's quite enjoyable)

[Twilight Princess is great on the 'cube, btw (despite not having the
wii's controller, the controls are really well done); I liked it a lot
more than wind-waker.]

Ditto, in a big way.

I have only recently finally stopped replaying RE4 after about 15
replays. It's too easy and familiar now, and I am finally burnt out on it.

Pretty much the best game ever, in my book.

Interesting that you mention Gauntlet Dark Legacy I was interested in
this game because I loved the original way back when ... but the
reviews I read all panned the game. Is it really great?

No way. This one's a keeper. I will play it again sooner or later.

Graphicly it sucks. There are a few game ending bugs. All that is erased
by the ton of fun the game delivers. Solo it is fun, but bring in two or
three more players and all hell breaks loose.

Wow, you aren't kidding. I just got it a couple of days ago and I
love it. I even let myself die because I want to play some of the
zombie-infested areas over and over.

Have fun with it.

I'm a little jealous since I'll never get that "first high" with it again.

My friend quit halfway through because he ran out of ammo.
I can see how that could happen...they take alot of hits.

If it happens to me, I'll just start over and have fun.
