As a peaceful yellow giant, you help the inhabitants of a vast island to settle and grow.

#4. Goblin Commander: Unleash the Horde
- Release Data: Jaleco Entertainment, 2003
- Genre: Strategy » Real-Time » General
Usually people shun an RTS on a console due to hard controls, but Goblin Commander pulls it off perfectly.
It has a weak story, but then again, it’s an RTS, meaning it doesn’t need an engaging story to keep you playing it.
Gameplay wise, this may be one of the most beautiful RTS games on a console.
#3. Battalion Wars
- Release Data: Kuju Entertainment/Nintendo, 2005
- Genre: Strategy » Real-Time » Tactics
Unfortunately, once you’re done with the game’s campaign, there isn’t much left to do aside from replay missions to increase your score, because it lacks any other additional modes.
It’s still quite a fun ride while it lasts though, so if you’re a fan of action strategy or military-style games, you won’t go wrong picking up Battalion Wars.
#2. Pikmin
- Release Data: Nintendo, 2001
- Genre: Strategy » Real-Time » General
Featuring slick graphics and addictive gameplay, Pikmin is a fresh entry in the GameCube software library—and one that gamers should definitely check out.
It’s an original game that showcases the GameCube hardware and Nintendo development prowess, and its different and slightly dark tone suits it perfectly.
#1. Pikmin 2
- Release Data: Nintendo, 2004
- Genre: Strategy » Real-Time » General
All told, Pikmin 2 is an excellent sequel that builds on its predecessor by introducing important additions that make the game even better than the original.
If you’re a fan of the original game, picking Pikmin 2 up should be a no-brainer and if you haven’t tried the series yet, Pikmin 2 is a fantastic place to start.
