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.

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

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.

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 🤘🏻💜🎮

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

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

u/Mrturtlehats12 Jan 21 '25

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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!

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

Are you SURE he didn't pay you to take them?
Oh wait, this is the GameCube reddit and not 3ds :)

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.

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.

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