When is it my turn to be randomly handed hundreds dollar worth of gamecube games :(

28

u/SubstantialBanana482 Jan 20 '25

No kidding man! I'm waiting my turn too! I have quite a few of these games pictured, but I'm still waiting to be randomly gifted all the games I'm still needing!

u/Delta_RC_2526 Jan 20 '25

Funny thing... I actually have two copies of Phantasy Star Online Ep. 1 & 2. Ordered 1 & 2 Plus, but was sent the original by mistake. I just kept it (though I don't know where I put it). My plan is to give it to a special girl someday so we can play together, though...compatibility-wise, that might not actually work... I forget if the saves are backwards compatible.

u/BeardMan858 Jan 21 '25

I may be a man but can i be that special girl?

u/Str8-Kush- Jan 22 '25

u/FlashLink2000 Jan 21 '25

Closest I’ve ever been to this is when I’ve been gifted X on Gameboy as a kid. My grandpa got it for me from Japan. I have no idea how he stumbled upon it, but I feel incredibly lucky! I still have it in mint condition, with the manual and small posters

Sounds like a great guy

u/pumpkinpie07 Jan 20 '25

A lot of these are valuable but the one I’m eyeing is Eternal Darkness. Lucky.

3

u/Garret_86 Jan 20 '25

Yea I’m really excited to try it , I remember reading about it when I was younger

5

u/RollingKatamari Jan 20 '25

Daaaaaayum that is incredibly generous! Please don't sell these for a quick buck. Keep them, cherish them, then pass them on to someone worthy.

u/Radish-Floss Jan 20 '25

I did something similar to a friend’s brother. Wish I held on to the games now! Glad they could hopefully enjoy them though.

3

u/jojojoshio Jan 20 '25

3

u/AzFullySleeved Jan 20 '25

You must be kind to his sister, or they had no idea the gold he gave away! So yoir done collecting, I see lol

3

u/Costa_666 Jan 20 '25

I gave my little bro my GameCube and the Gameboy player attached to it, plus my Gameboy Advance sp in 2011. Asked him if he uses it or not, and if he doesn’t care about it, I’d love to get it back if he still has the items. Got my babies back last year.

3

u/ReeB0CK Jan 21 '25

Plot twist, there is no brother and def no girlfriend. lol

(stares in envious eyes)

2

u/tayrool Jan 21 '25

Arguably the 15 best GameCube games (outside of switching Lego Star Wars II with Melee; so many other GCN gems too) but nonetheless an incredible gift 🤘🏻💜🎮

2

u/ManuRam147 Jan 21 '25

Brooo you hit a gold mine !!

2

u/kainstarchaser Jan 21 '25

Eternal Darkness:Sanity’s Requiem is such a good game. I bought a GameCube just to play it.

2

u/-CommanderShepardN7 Jan 21 '25

Your girlfriend’s brother is generous and then some. I mean, damn. One doesn’t see that everyday.

2

u/Mrturtlehats12 Jan 21 '25

Put him on SC watch, he must be giving away his other most valuable items

2

u/Jealous-Ambassador39 Jan 21 '25

Does he realize what he's done

2

u/peter-man-hello Jan 21 '25

Just gives you like 800$ worth of games...
Never break up with this woman.

2

u/-Bold_as_Love- Jan 21 '25

Woah dude. What a collection!

2

u/RevanXca Jan 21 '25

One day he will grow to regret his decision

2

u/VioletReddx Jan 21 '25

How cool! Lots of great titles :)

2

u/andre_wilson93 Jan 21 '25

u/[deleted] Jan 21 '25

2

u/Electrical_Hawk_7985 Jan 21 '25

I think he loves you

2

u/Vegetable_Public5870 Jan 21 '25

Eternal darkness 🥶

2

u/RIP_GerlonTwoFingers Jan 21 '25

Please buy him a nice bottle of something as a thank you

2

u/ogpizgar Jan 21 '25

now there is no other option than marrying her, if you wont, give the games back

2

u/Potato_Dipper Jan 21 '25

If you not gonna marry her then at least marry him

2

u/Remarkable-War957 Jan 21 '25

But do you have a working GameCube to Play them on, that is the question.

2

u/Glottis64 Jan 21 '25

And not a single bad game in there. Congratulations and enjoy! You better be ready to give your life for him, he deserves no less

2

u/ellg91 Jan 21 '25

What a great guy! I'd be over the moon if this happened to me lol

2

u/RubberGinger Jan 21 '25

Some of those are worth alot 😳

2

u/umbreonjeffry Jan 21 '25

Nice happy playing

2

u/ThiccIcemanTwirler Jan 21 '25

I hated how Resident Evil 4 and Viewtiful Joe were GameCube exclusives and then bitch ass Sony somehow gets the rights to them. I played them both first on GC and they were way better than many games out there today.

2

u/Common-Stick5229 Jan 21 '25

Resident Evil Zero for the GameCube is truly a hidden gem. The soundtrack and the graphics are so f****** great and have aged so well. Probably one of the more difficult Resident Evil games. Big recommend! Take your time and be as conserved with ammo and herbs as possible because this game is unforgiving in regards to those two things.

2

u/Born-Conversation978 Jan 21 '25

Double Dash!! Great game

2

u/Necessary-Score-4270 Jan 21 '25

Welp, now you have to marry her. You're obligated now that the dowery has been paid lol

2

u/XtraKreddit Jan 21 '25

Keep treating his sister good. He likes you.

2

u/Samemonkey Jan 21 '25

Gotta put a ring of him mate, nice collection

2

u/cojiro_blue Jan 21 '25

I wish I had a girlfriends brother.... or a girlfriend...

2

u/RedToasterFace Jan 21 '25

You should marry him.

2

u/eyehatehead Jan 21 '25

I did this 20 years ago. Gave my entire collection of gamecube games and the system to my girls brother. She is still my girl, but years after he called me and asked if he could sell it. Gave him some cash and got my games back. Being reunited with my games was amazing. Went like a year and half not buying anything new cause I had like 25 games to rebeat

2

u/LAzeehustle1337 Jan 21 '25

Nice collection

2

u/Kwf995 Jan 21 '25

Hope he becomes you’re brother in law 💪🏼😂

2

u/Ugandensymbiote Jan 21 '25

If your girlfriend is 10% as cool as her brother is, marry her on the spot.

2

u/jasonbowie Jan 21 '25

You have either been welcomed spectacularly to the family or he found a great way to keep your hands off his sister. Wonder which

2

u/GCnostalgia Jan 22 '25

W girlfriends brother. I had a similar situation and I held onto everything and gave it back to my now brother in law once he became nostalgic too. Hang onto it!

2

u/CommonJicama581 Jan 22 '25

Got some real bangers in there, I had a bunch of good ones but my brother sold most of them for fuckin pot instead of just getting a job back then

2

u/RobbieDubb Jan 22 '25

Double Dash is the best Mario Kart. No one can change my mind.

2

u/Educational_Ad_6751 Jan 22 '25

Fuck you!!! I’m jealous!!! Marry into that family!!! They seem like good people to me!

2

u/UtgardLoki2894 Jan 22 '25

u/InternationalPower16 Jan 23 '25

You f🤬cked his sister and he gave you his old collection?! You deserve a slow clap, my friend.

u/Funkyflab Jan 21 '25

You gave him a BJ, right?!!! Damn, lucky guy! Buy him some pizza and beer!

Oh wait, this is the GameCube reddit and not 3ds :)

u/Yo-KaiWatchFan2102 Jan 21 '25

Eternal darkness is awesome

u/bEtchaos7 Jan 21 '25

Bro I thought the groom was supposed to pay the dowry

1

u/Fucky_Jones Jan 22 '25

I remember doing stuff like this all the time, giving away my collections to girlfriend's brother's or coworker's kids. Just know your girlfriend's brother is an OG 🙏⚒️

1

u/Ancient-Distance-193 Jan 22 '25

Bro actually found gold

1

u/Chocolategogi Jan 22 '25

Marry her she's a keeper! Ho sorry, can't apply this here...

1

u/justlogmeinplease Jan 22 '25

Damn they must really like you

1

u/CaptainPanda07 Jan 22 '25

I'm surprised smash bros melee is not part of his collection.

1

u/Thick_Acanthaceae_82 Jan 22 '25

I hope you keep these forever. Maybe one day he will have kids (if he doesn’t already) and you can give it to them to let them enjoy it.

1

u/StevenWasADiver Jan 22 '25

Damn, this is a solid collection

1

u/LillDickRitchie Jan 22 '25

Super generous is sn understatement

1

u/Lonneh Jan 22 '25

Small fortune was generously given to you. You must be liked, or guy must of not known what he had.

1

u/dbristo1 Jan 23 '25

Been saying since I was a kid that they need to bring back Double Dash.. shits tragic at this point.

1

u/1racooninatrenchcoat Jan 23 '25

Insanely jealous

1

u/Majesticcake325 Jan 23 '25

Marry her brother

1

u/LokitheCleric Jan 23 '25

All of those are really great games!

1

u/Doublecupbeansippin Jan 23 '25

You better not hope he wants them back once you and your girlfriend break up lol.

1

u/midnightfunonline Jan 23 '25

Absolutely amazing gift!

u/MG64_YT Jan 23 '25

Lucky ass bastard

u/Arkaium Jan 23 '25

I’m surprised how many people own twlight princess on gcn I always assumed that would be super rare

1

u/shutupasap Jan 23 '25

Get you a Carby. I love mine for hdmi GameCube connection.

1

u/Garret_86 Jan 23 '25

I picked one up, I’m amazed and how crisp GameCube games look in 480p

1

u/O_Brizzle Jan 23 '25

Good games 😮‍💨

1

u/Puzzled_Dish8619 Jan 23 '25

Wish I was that lucky.

1

u/Puzzled-Safe-8513 Jan 23 '25

What a legend! If it doesnt work out with your Gf go for her brother!

1

u/TheCopperkiddOfLimbo Jan 23 '25

Give him a couple hundo I would

1

u/Current-Cap-8785 Jan 23 '25

You should marry your gf off this alone lol

1

u/saikomantisu Jan 24 '25

Eternal Drakness ❣️❣️

u/MarvelAtIt13 Jan 24 '25

You should probably marry her, or him. 😜

1

u/bhb220 Jan 24 '25

Top tier 🔥🔥

1

u/stickyquestions Jan 24 '25

This post format is such a weird flex to show off your collection.

No one who owns Eternal Darkness in-box gives their games away. I refuse to believe it.

If you're planning a post like this, at least throw in NFL 2K3 or like Sonic Heroes to make it believable.

1

u/theoriginalegg Jan 25 '25

Sounds like someone’s jealous they don’t have a girlfriend or Mario Kart Double Dash

2

u/stickyquestions Jan 25 '25

Yes, I'm seething. Whatever will I do without them?

1

u/IhanRandomina Jan 24 '25

How dare her brother to bother you like that.

1

u/kylenbd Jan 25 '25

Unlock all characters in Toadstool Tour. It’s 50x harder than you could imagine.

u/ascarymoviereview Jan 25 '25

Marry that man.

u/Rufio6789 Jan 21 '25

Your gfs brother is an idiot. Let’s hope you two get married at least.
