Gaming Gamecube games to play (any region)

[blakeana]

a bit of a basic topic here, but i need your input on this one, chat.
i'm looking for some gamecube recs to play.
as i am bad at describing my taste, i'll list GCN games i already played and some of the picks from non-GCN consoles

GCN:
- Crazy Taxi
- Animal Crossing
- Sonic Riders
- MKDD
- Smash Bros. Melee
- Zelda: Windwaker
- Kirby Air Ride
- Chibi-Robo

non-GCN:
- every mainline Pokemon game from gen 1 to 7
- MKWii
- Monster Hunter Tri
- Sonic Colors

just a tip, don't suggest me Luigi's Mansion or Super Mario Strikers as I've played them both and didn't enjoy them

1st party preferred, but 2nd/3rd also are welcome.

Doshin the Giant (J/EU only).
If you're playing on a NTSC display and can't read japanese, play the EU version with the 60Hz patch

Unique and excellent game.
Closest comparison I can make for it is "Black & White" on PC.

I'd recommend Custom Robo, it's both NTSC J and U. It's like a top down version of Zone of the Enders with lots of unlockable items.

I've imported that game on the day it came out in the US (because we can't have nice games in Europe)

Paper Mario TTYD (if any on this list, I insist this one. Such a whimsical adventure)
Pokemon Colosseum and XD
Tales of Symphonia
FE: Path of Radiance

Pikmin 1 and 2 for sure, but give Pikmin 1 a miss if you dislike time limits.

Pikmin 2 allows you to go at your own pace, and you don't need to play the first one to enjoy it.

All of these are great, but I also have to add Amazing Island and Cubivore without a doubt.
