I bought a GameCube this Christmas with hopes of getting my wife to
play it with me. We each have a computer that are networked together
and I can't get her to play anything but "Parker Brothers Classic Card
Games" while I've been enjoying Half Life 2. The GameCube came with
Mario Kart and she likes that. We also bought Super Monkey Ball 2,
which is now her favorite.

She would never play a game like Resident Evil. I'm looking at
getting Mario Party 6. Would it keep us both interested for a while?
I saw Mario Party 5 at Game Stop (also still $50). What ever happened
to Mario Party 1-4? Are they worth looking for? What's the
microphone for in MP6?

Yeah,Mario Party 6 would likely keep you both interested.And to answer
your question about the other Mario Parties:Mario Party 1,2,and 3 are on
the Nintendo 64.Mario Party 4,however,came out on the Gamecube.The
microphone is for a special mode in Mario Party 6.This mode has special
mini-games which you can only play with the microphone.

Get her to try Animal Crossing. I showed that game to my girl and she went
out and bought her own Gamcube and Gameboy just to play in her own town. We
had fun going back and forth to each other's towns and trading items and
such. Check it out.

How about Wario Ware? It's one of the only games that my girlfriend
will play against me on. I think she likes it all the more because
she could beat me when I first got it. My sister played it for the
first time just yesterday and she seemed to like it too.

My wife and I (and the kids) have a blast playing Donkey Konga. Of
course, you will have to buy another set of Kongas, so the whole
enchilada will cost you about $80, but it's great fun.

Most girls seem to have a hard time understanding 3D games (Males are
generally better than females at rotating, and minipulating 3D objects
in their heads), so anything "simple" (I use the term cautiously) like
the party games you mentioned will be fun (I've got Mario Party 5, and
it's very fun)

My husband and I did that too for a while... Also, games like Sphinx are fun
to play together and take turns with the controller - especially on the
puzzle levels. Smash Brothers Melee is another good one..

MP6 should keep both of you entertained for awhile.

As far as GC games that she might like on her own, try Animal Crossing
and/or Harvest Moon...especially if she is not a fan of action games or
shooters. If she doesn't mind fighting games, try Super Smash Bros. Melee.
Mario Kart Double Dash is also one she could enjoy, as you can switch
between driving and tossing items as a team. Donkey Konga is a good
music/rhythm game, but you'll need another set of bongos to make it
worthwhile.

My wife isn't a big fan of videogames...next to me, who is?...but she'll
play all of the above (except SSBM). If Tetris Attack was ever updated for
GC, she would play that too, as that was one of the few N64 games she could
kick my butt on.

Thanks for all the responses. I ended up getting Mario Party 6.
Played it for two hours tonight with my wife. She liked it, but
wouldn't admit it.

I'll have to take a look at Animal Crossing as well (especially since
it's only $20).

Of the Mario Party games on the GC, we still play Mario Party 4 the most.

The Game my wife and I play the most is Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance. We've
play it through 4 times so far. Plenty of fun. I'm still bitter that they
didn't make the sequel for the cube....
