I'm a Nintendo fanboy, so I've got some things to mention.
I currently own thirteen titles for the GameCube, and between my friend and I, we own sixteen different titles.
I own Super Smash Bros. Melee (exclusive), TimeSplitters 2 (PSS/GCN), The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition (comes with one system package, or can be acquired by subscribing to Nintendo Power or purchasing and registering two of the four "holiday titles"; I subscribed to Nintendo Power)(exclusive), F-Zero GX (exclusive), Resident Evil CODE: Veronica X (DC/PS2/GCN; a mistake on my part, I'm about to complete it, after which I will sell it back to the nearby GameStop for hopefully half of what I paid for it), Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem (exclusive), Wave Race: Blue Storm (exclusive), Starfox Adventures (exclusive), The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (exclusive), Metroid Prime (exclusive; Zoid, you guys did an incredible job!), Ikaruga (exclusive), Soul Calibur II (XBX/PS2/GCN; I prefer Link only because Spawn doesn't have his trademark cape), and Metal Arms: Glitch in the System (XBX/PS2/GCN.)
Upcoming games for the GameCube that seem to be considered to be worth watching: Starcraft: Ghost (XBX/GCN; it's a Blizzard game, so you KNOW it's going to be good, despite the "Psi powers"), Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes (exclusive; along with some of the original team, Silicon Knights is heading this venture - it's a remake of MGS, along with new features like hanging on to rails and a fully-functional first-person mode), Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles (exclusive; I personally don't like the FF series, but the rumor mill is buzzing about this one), Resident Evil 4 (exclusive; you get to play as Leon once again, and they're FINALLY ditching that lame pre-rendered get-up), and Pikmin 2 (exclusive; basically Pikmin with the ability for multiple players and new kinds of Pikmin - do yourself a favor and play Pikmin!)
Some developers that you should keep an eye on: Square-Enix (still mostly PS2 junkies, but they're starting to warm up to Nintendo once again), Silicon Knights (makers of Eternal Darkness, and also MGS:TTS; they are also supposedly still working on Too Human in secret), Nintendo (DUH! First-party games!), HAL Labs (makers of the Super Smash Bros. series of games, among other fun things), and Rare (currently assimilated by Microsoft's machine, but Rare has had a long history with Nintendo, so one could assume that they'll return to the right and the might eventually.)
And, a shameless plug for Zoid: Retro Studios! The rumor mill has been buzzing about Metroid Prime 2, but I'll let Zoid talk about that as he sees fit, since I don't know any hard facts.
I'll let you read reviews about the aforementioned games, since all of my advice would be heavily biased.
