Just got a Wii for the girlfriend to try and get her to stop thinking playing games make you a 1970 version nerd and she is actually enjoying it (mainly because she beat me in tennis )

I haven't touched a nintendo machine since SNES so no clue what is out there for games that I might actually like. Any one have any must play RPG/strat games for the gamecube? I've really grown found of the disgaea type games and Srpg's but I thought those were found more so on the PS2. I thought an ogre battle or ogre battle made it on the game cube but couldn't find any when I looked.

Any ways, would appreciate any suggestions on the best games for the game cube since I couldn't find one fucking game that looked fun for me to really get into on the Wii (bought zelda for me and MP8 for her...so far I rather play zelda the orginal over this but im guessing it will get better).

Check out Fire Emblem for the gamecube. It's pretty much the only strat/RPG for that system, although there are a handful of other good standard RPGs too (Skies of Arcadia and Tales of Symphonia come to mind).

Scarface for wii is great, it's GTA with a plot~

Zelda turns pretty good imho, you just got to give it a chance.

Resident Evil IV for GC (Now avail in a wii version as well) it's good.

Surprised to hear you say it was great, if anything I'd get Scarface for the PC or Xbox/PS2.

Stay away from the Wii version. It's terrible.

RE4 for Wii is awesome. Controller scheme is reversed (A should be to AIM, and B to shoot, instead of the opposite) but it's ok.

Yeah seriously, if you are into RPG's then the only choice is the PS2.

I love scarface for the wii.. it's great and probably not as fun on the PC.

Sometimes it's a bitch to get into rage mode though

Gamespot blows, don't know how you can use their ratings :p

Gladius is a real good strategy RPG for GameCube. It might be hard to find tho.

Thanks and fin how about less game advice and more healing plz!!!!!

Ya I had to sacrifice my own gaming prefereces for the Wii to try and get the gf playing so Oh well she called me when I was at work to brag about her 200+ bowling score on day 2 so I think it was worth it!!

Wii definitely seems fun but damn why can't they make some normal non gimick games that the srpg group likes Oh well can go beat FFT for the 20th time....

Well if you can find Fire Emblem I still suggest you give it a shot, it's a good game and really sounds like what you're looking for.

One of my all time favorite gamecube games. I highly recommend it.

You could always settle for Disgaea 2 Turb =p
But I agree, there's STILL nothing that beats FFT especially in terms of replayability for strat rpgs.

Nintendo? As far as I know they haven't released more than 2-3 strategy RPGs or even actual RPGs since the SNES. There are exceptions here and there.
