First you need to download and install the dolphin emulator

Then you need to find rom files, you can use https://thepiratebay.org for that.

For wii games you probably want to just buy a wiimote and nunchuk, for local multiplayer you need more than one controller, luckily it's relatively cheap (30 to 40$).

The wii sensor bar is just two infrared lights, you do not need the original sensor-bar for that.

You can use your keyboard to play gamecube games, you might want to use a controller instead, doesn't have to be game-cube controller.

Third best



This is metroid prime 3: corruption

Graphics is clearly better than previous titles but gameplay isn't nearly as great.

It's a great game in many ways but it does also suffer from serious flaws, the wii version has very bad controls, especially when you compare it to the mtetroid prime trilogy (wii) which ruins a game that otherwise would be great, it also suffers from really bad framerate (30fps) that is difficult to fix even with emulation.

Another flaw is that the entire game is very linear, it's fine having a linear start but it would have been better if the player had been given more freedom in the end to do temples in arbitrary order, no reason not to when the item you get in one temple barely is used outside that temple.

The difficulty is too low even when using the watersuit, there is however ways to modify the game when using the dolphin emulator so it will be more difficult.

One of my favorite Cube games is Starfox Assault. While it wasn't made by Rare the flying sections are excellent. When running in dolphin in HD, the dogfights are graphically stunning. The gameplay is pretty simplistic, and definetly not up the standards set in Starfox 64 but I enjoyed it.

I've had so many nostalgic memories with M&S Winter and London Olympic Games and WeSki, and I liked playing with the Mii customization as well in those games.

About the metroid prime trilogy
Metroid prime was first released on gamecube and it is a first person advanture game. Almost all of the gameplay take place on the Tallon IV planet that you explore to beat bosses and collect new weapons or upgrades.

I did play metroid prime 3 as a teenager and while this was the best wii game (by far) that i played on the actual wii it's very much inferior to metroid prime 1 and 2. I did like the bryyo planet in metroid prime 3 but you cannot actually explore it that much since you end up having to spend most of your time on other planets.

I did enjoy playing metroid prime 2 the most, i liked the high difficulty. I first played on what's called "veteran" difficulty in the metroid prime trilogy game but that ended up being too easy so i then played on the "hypermode" difficulty and decided not to use aim assist (where you lock onto the target)

The first metroid prime game was too easy i think which is why i didn't enjoy it as much even though it's a very well-made game.

All these games are made to be linear, with the first 2 games you can "sequence break" and get items out of order but this is very hard to do with prime 3. Metroid prime 3 is more linear and controlled while also having the by far worst combat system (the hybermode gimmick).

The biggest issue with the metroid prime trilogy is that you are limited to just 60fps, for that reason i decided to play it with a real wii remote instead of using prime hack. From my experience having the camera controlled by the mouse is very bad when you cannot get the fps mostly above 100.

There are also other flaws with the series so the fact that it's so hard to find titles that are better really shows how bad the state of gaming currently is.
