It's been over two decades since the GameCube launched, and while games and technology have evolved tremendously since then, many GameCube titles remain timeless classics. Whether it's due to nostalgia, their significant contributions to some of Nintendo's biggest franchises, or simply their sheer enjoyment, the best GameCube games continue to occupy a special place in our memories.
The good news is that you don't need a classic GameCube console to relive these beloved games. Many GameCube titles have been remastered or re-released on the Nintendo Switch. Moreover, Nintendo has announced that GameCube games will be available on Nintendo Switch Online with the upcoming Switch 2, complete with a dedicated Switch 2 GameCube controller for an authentic gaming experience.
In celebration of the Switch 2's revival of these GameCube classics, IGN staff have cast their votes to determine the top titles. Here are the 25 best GameCube games of all time, as chosen by IGN's experts.
