Have you tried playing the game a bit? I was skeptical at first too until playing it.

Mario Sunshine.
I didn't like Prime; it got old fast. If you like Metroid tho, I'm sure you would like it.
Pick up Zelda, Soul Calibur II, Animal Crossing....and that might be it. I wasn't a fan of Sunshine, it felt like a crappy version of Mario 64.
Oh, you might want to check out Super Monkey Ball 2 (or whatever is the latest version). That game was a lot of fun.

> Both Resident Evl remakes
Uh... Both remakes?
The only "remake" was Resident Evil. 2, 3, and Code Veronica were ports, as I recall. 0 and 4 were originals.

> That's for starters.
Another that I'm going to guess no one else will mention is Tales of Symphonia. Great story and one of the best battle systems in an RPG ever...like Tales of Phantasia's battle system on crack.

Well, that's gonna hurt then, because I've only played about 5 or 6 games, and 2 of those are MP1 and MP2, both of which are 2 of the best games I've ever played (and also happen to be 2 of the last games I've played thoroughly).
Tales of Symphonia rules. Phantasy Star Online is fun too. If you liked Sonic or Mega Man, get those collections to go on nostalgic trips. There you go...that's my GCN experience, lol. Still, back when I actually had free time on the large TV in the living room, playing MP1 when that came out was like experiencing a movie. The last time I had gone gaga 5+ hours a day playing a game was Mario 64, and before that it was the likes of FF3 and Chrono Trigger. I consider it more like if Mario was a first-person game (or at least close to it). It's definitely not an FPS where you just go around and kill shit. I probably spent more time scanning things and looking for secrets than I ever did killing anything. Especially with how little it costs to buy now, I would definitely recommend MP1, and if you like it, then get MP2.

I recommend Skies
> of Arcadia Legends.
Indeed. <img src=smilies/thumb.gif> Also, on this subject since it's kind of a remake, MGS1: The Twin Snakes is awesome. Even if you've played the original already it's still worth playing some more in this new souped up version.

My personal list:
<ul>
[*]Metroid Prime 1 & 2 (try it anyways, it's not really a FPS)
[*]Super Mario Sunshine
[*]Soul Calibur II
[*]Tales of Symphonia (just finished that last week)
[*]Super Smash Bros. Melee
[*]Bomber Generation & Jetters (single player has declined since BM64, but multiplayer is still just as good)
[*]Donky Konga
[*]Pikmin 1 & 2
[*]Super Monkey Ball 2 (haven't tried 1, but i hear its easier)
[/list]

In addition to some of the other games already mentioned, some others I've enjoyed:
F-Zero GX
Luigi's Mansion (Kind of short, not all that difficult, but was enjoyable nonetheless)
Baten Kaitos (You may want to turn off the voices for your own good... you'll still get them in FMVs, but the rest of the game you will be spared. Not one of Namco's best voice-over efforts, but the battle system is interesting.)
Star Fox: Assault (at least what little I've played of it so far)
Star Fox Adventures (some people may disagree with me, and claim it was too short and easy, but I still enjoyed it overall).
...and last but definitely not least, possibly my all-time favorite adventure/horror styled game...
Eternal Darkness
F-Zero GX
Luigi's Mansion (Kind of short, not all that difficult, but was enjoyable nonetheless)
Baten Kaitos (You may want to turn off the voices for your own good... you'll still get them in FMVs, but the rest of the game you will be spared. Not one of Namco's best voice-over efforts, but the battle system is interesting.)

Eternal Darkness
> F-Zero GX
Always good, story mode can be a pain in the ass, but its still kinda fun. sucks that its splitscreen and not lan, it'd pwn if it was lan (can you imagine 24/30 player f-zero? it'd rock you bad).
> Luigi's Mansion (Kind of short, not all that difficult, but was enjoyable nonetheless)
I never actually played this. gotta get around to that.

I bought this game. I beat this game. I will never play this game again, it sucked. The battle system is rather annoying late on, as you end up using 8 cards+ a turn just for defending, and then probably another 1 for attacking, given that you almost never get a good card order so you can barely ever actually pull off a decent combo. there's also the major plot point pulled on you by surprise halfway through the game THAT THEY NEVER EVER MENTION AGAIN. EVER. Seriously. Dont waste your money.

Its not too bad, kinda short though.

*disagrees that it was crappy, because the arwings were rounded, not to mention that you practically never use it*

I never actually played this, my friend owns it though.
oh well, I guess I'll make some reccomendations anyways:
Metriod Prime - 1 player, but still awesome. better than Echoes.
Metroid Prime: Echoes - 1-4 player (battlemode) is kinda fun, but not enough stages in it. 1 player isn't bad, but gets kinda repetetive imo.
Super Monkey Ball - 1-4 player multiplayer/course. awesome fun stuff, especially monkey bowling.
Tales of Symphonia - also a potential 4 player game, its actually rather fun to play with friends as you can do some rather kickass combo works that you just cant work with a cpu. even in one player its cool, and has some nice "I CAN PWN YOU BAD" replay value.
Mario Kart: Double Dash - this game is iffy. Battlemode sucks imo, given the stages in it are small and unattractive unlike the 64/ds tracks (the ds tracks own, block fort for win!) suck, but vs is decent depending on your item settings (on insane it can be exactly that, blue shell after blue shell is kinda cool and no one stays in first place for long), but single player its a cheating fucker. you'll get hit by at least 2 shells (one being blue) right next to the finish line on 150cc a decent amount of the time. only has decent multiplayer value imo.
Naruto: Gekitou Ninja Taisen! 3* - Now this. This is, most definitely, an awesome fighting game. 1-4 players, and 4 players is where it stands out (though 2 players is still good. 3 leaves you with a cpu filling a slot). has 25 characters (and then a couple of hiddens)) to pick from, 15-25 stages, a story mode, an arcade mode, and a few others that i can't be assed checking on. being japanese only you'd need a freeloader/action replay to play it, but its worth it if you're keen on multiplayer mayhem. other than that, probably avoid it, 1 player doesn't have too much replay once you figure out how to dupe the computer into doing what you want it to (not to mention that the level 4 cpu is extremely unfair, you can't throw them, can barely super them, and are likely to be pwned by them when you first unlock the difficulty level).
Resident Evil 4 - owns. thats all there is to it. single player only.
Paper Mario: The Thosand Year Door - a cool game, rather fun, pretty funny, takes quite a bit of time to finish and has some absolutely awesome parts in it.
SSBM - you know the deal.
* - NGNT4 is out in a day, and thus i haven't got it yet, i'll have it in a week

Try it man. Retro actually did a great job on Prime 1 and 2. Seriously. I was a staunch supporter of the 2D Metroid view. But then I played them. Personally I think Prime is better than Prime 2, but that's me.

Yeah, FPS purists always say it sucks, has bad controls, etc. It plays like Metroid, not a FPS, as hard as that is to believe.
