Ufc games for gamecube

Metroid Prime's strength was its world building. Dripping with details and unique, sticky ways to explore those details, Metroid Prime is peerless in the way it allowed you to discover its intricate spaces. You could scan the environment for lore and details, you could spider-ball your way up previously inaccessible walls and ceilings.

There was majesty hidden in every corner. Even today, it hasn't aged a day. Nothing else comes close. Metroid Prime is Metroid Prime. It has no imitators because it's inimitable. Like it was dropped down to Earth by accident from another dimension where video games are different, better. Back in Metroid Prime felt like it came from the future.

Almost 19 years later, everything else is still playing catch-up. Roundly criticised pre-release for its stylised "cartoon" visuals, Wind Waker reviewed well once people eventually got their hands on it, but unlike other Zelda games like Twilight Princess and even Ocarina of Time to an extent Wind Waker has aged spectacularly.

The ocean provides a glorious backdrop to Link's adventures, both in terms of visuals and how it feels to explore. But it's the cast of characters that truly makes Wind Waker unforgettable. That and the music I'd never played a Resident Evil game before Resident Evil 4. Never have I ever visited Racoon City. The reason? I was a huge wuss -- and still am. I scare easily and am totally bereft of courage, it's a problem. Despite all of this adversity, I played and loved Resident Evil 4.

At a time when everyone had pretty much written the GameCube off as past its prime, Resident Evil 4 launched to widespread critical acclaim in It was released just 11 days into the year, yet was named Game of the Year by many publications 11 months later. This proved irresistible for me, despite the deep fear I had of anything horror.

I was scared and terrified throughout most of Resident Evil 4, and often wanted to quit. But the game was so good I just couldn't. I didn't want to see what was around each corner, but I had to do it anyway. Now that the game has been ported to almost every console known to man, it's easy to forget that it was originally GameCube-only. It was one of the system's last exclusives and also one of its best. Super Smash Bros. Melee was the first game many people played on the GameCube.

Luigi's Mansion was the big launch title, but Super Smash Bros. Melee came just months into the GameCube's lifecycle. It did a lot for the GameCube, but did even more for the Smash Bros. It took the original's formula and sharpened it, making it deeper and more balanced.

The original N64 title was a lot of fun, but Melee solidified it into a legitimate fighting franchise, a game still played competitively around the world today.

That's a tribute to its genius. Melee is still insanely fun to play today -- if you can find a GameCube controller. Animal Crossing feels almost ubiquitous after the release of New Horizons in , so it's easy to forget how quirky the original GameCube version felt. It just dropped players into a lazy little town filled with talking animals and said, "Do what you want.

I was no stranger to hanging out in quaint virtual towns, thanks to all the hours I spent in Harvest Moon 64, but I had never played a game that was as laid-back as Animal Crossing. Want to go fishing? Plant fruit trees?

Make a tiny garden? Turn your basement into a cement nightmare filled with the discordant music of a dozen gyroids? Sure, go for it. The closest thing Animal Crossing had to a main quest was upgrading your home and paying off your loans, but even that was optional, with no interest or due dates attached to the upgrades. It was the kind of game to make you reconsider what makes a good video game and I'm always happy for surprises like that.

The original and best, Pikmin makes the most of its delicately simple ruleset. The man who is best known for throwing up the heart-shaped hands was throwing those hands at the rest of the Throwdown roster back in As one of only two referees in the game the other was Big John McCarthy , it was natural that Yamasaki would be an unlockable character.

Plus thanks to the open-weight nature of the early UFC titles, Yamasaki would be able to fight anyone and everyone and that is something that deserves heart hands from fight fans around the world. Despite there being quite a few prominent female MMA fighters at the dawn of the Millenium, the UFC didn't have any room for women and they didn't look like they were going to make room for a while, so the ring girls got the nod instead.

Be thankful that the UFC takes its women divisions a lot more seriously today. A bit of a feel-good story for one of hip hops unsung heroes. Action Bronson had always been a rather large gentleman.

To slim himself down, the rapper was seen hanging out with fighters, training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, losing a boatload of weight, and being a true inspiration to those who are in need of shedding a couple of pounds. This all led to Bronson working on the UFC 4 trailer and eventually becoming a downloadable character in July It is also safe to say that Bronson got mixed reactions from the hardcore fight fanbase, with criticism coming from the anger of Bronson being included in the game over fighters who qualified as ranked competitors.

However, becoming a downloadable character in UFC Undisputed was a little more well-received than Shaq's infamous "beat 'em up" game in the 90s. Players were given a code to unlock O'Neal and as expected, Shaq was a heavyweight, and a big one too.

The thought of having Shaq vs. Brock Lesnar, Cain Velasquez, and even Kimbo Slice was something that had fight fans at the turn of the decade salivating through sheer ridiculousness. The world is a much brighter place for having Shaq in Undisputed Mortal Kombat: Deception supports online play for both the PS2 and Xbox Live and features online matches and tournaments as well as online gameplay capabilities for both the board game and puzzle modes.
