Anybody know of any fun bargain priced games for gamecube I can play on the Wii?  I have had the Wii about 8 months and bought Wrestlemania X8, a controller, and memory card dirt cheap!

Wrestlemania X8 is not the best wrestling game, but I bought it for the roster.  It has Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, Booker T, RVD, and Raven.  These are some of my old favorites.  Too bad it doesn't have the original NWO music.  All the other entrance music is acurate, but for some reason the NWO music is generic.

I am looking for some fun games for $10 bucks or less at gamestop.  They have a huge selection of used games.  I want some cheap gems.  Most of them are cheap, but I don't know what is good.  The only other one I saw that I would buy is MGS Twin Snakes, but it is about $35 bucks and I already have the PS1 version of MGS.

MGS Twin Snakes covers MGS 1 and MGS 2. So, it's not a totally bad deal.

Eternal Darkness is good, but I know it uses audio streaming and I am not sure if your Wii can handle it (problems stem only on certain mod chips).

Most of the folks think WWE Day of Reckoning 2 is the best wrestling game on the Gamecube, although for me that's Ultimate Muscle.

I liked Tomb Raider Legends too, but if you have it on other consoles, it's probably not worth it.

You'll be able to play approximately 99% of the Gamecube titles on the Wii, no problem.  Chunsoft's Homeland and Phantasy Star Online are the ones that you may not be able to play.

There's Resident Evil 4 although you might as well pick it up on the Wii for the added content and the option to use the Wii controls (you can use the GC controls on the Wii game).
There are a few other RPG gems like Tales of Symphonia and Baten Kaitos.

What genre of games are you looking for?

Eternal Darkness was the best GC! I love that game!

Thanks for the knowledge!  I like lots of games except for FPS, they give me a headache for some reason.  I have PS1, PS2, and PS3.  Mainly looking for games exclusive to the gamecube like the Wrestlemania X8 gem I found.  I also bought Curious George for my little guy who likes the PBS show.  However, it is way to hard for the Curious George age group and I ended up having to play it while he watched.

Eternal Darkness is a sure fire safe choice.  Metroid Prime games aren't too shabby too but we're getting the Trilogy on the Wii anyway.  Maybe you'll be interested in Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles although you know already the steep prerequisites.  Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker is also a good choice.  Super Mario Sunshine is either hit and miss.  Luigi's Mansion is an okay game though it's also pretty much hit and miss.

Other possible choices:
Smash Bros. Melee
Mario Kart Double Dash
Pikmin, though we're possibly getting Wii updates
Soul Calibur 2 (if Link is really worth that much money for you)
Bloody Roar?
Viewtiful Joe
Paper Mario: Thousand  Year Door
F Zero GX?
Star Wars Rogue Squadron
WWE Day of Reckoning 2
Ultimate Muscle: Legends vs New Generations (I think there's a PS2 version much later though)
PN 03 (An acquired taste, think of it as a sexy version of Space Invaders  )
Tales of Symphonia
Baten Kaitos
Baten Kaitos: Origins
Fire Emblem
1080 Avalanche

Personally, I enjoyed Splinter Cell on gamecube more than the PC version because the GBA connectivity made it co-op gameplay for me and my brother... but I think I'm the only one who enjoyed it like that.

Paper Mario, Mario Kart: DD, Rogue Squadron, Mario Party if you're into that.  I think 6 was good.  I can't remember.
