Most is "old" news, but some is very new! Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to post any of the screens. You heard it first from MarioLinkSamus. Enjoy!
GCN lineup:
1080™: AVALANCHE
Race through realistic natural environments, complete with powder drifts, ice patches and groomed hardpack ... but don't get comfortable. You will have to contend with massive avalanches, rockslides, cave-ins, bridge collapses and environments teeming with wildlife and other skiers.
Experience the unique character-balancing system, which allows you to keep the on-screen character on his or her board. Take advantage of a deep trick system, which lets you flip, spin, grab, grind and tweak your way to glory.
Master a big catalogue of crazy tricks as you experience the speed rush of big mountain racing. Slalom skills better be tuned as you go head-to-head with CPU-controlled masters or other players.
Custom Robo™
Leap into a mechanized melee! Hone your skills in the single-player role-playing game as you progress through a deep sci-fi storyline.
Make your own soldier! Customize robots by choosing from more than 200 different parts and weapons, then test their one-of-a-kind abilities against other robots in one of 30 battle arenas.
See if your custom robot can survive the frantic, chaotic action of a four-player battle royale, two-on-two vs. Battle mode, or Tag-Team battle match!
Battle it out with three other players on a single screen (rather than split-screen), and enjoy a great multi-player party experience. You can customize your own robot, then test its power in battle arenas against other players’ robots.
F-ZERO® GX
Be ready to race for the long haul with 20 sprawling courses and more than 30 pilots to choose from.
Hunt for turbo boosts at mind-boggling speeds as Captain Falcon and the universe's racing elite battle through obstacle-studded straight-aways, along the inside and outside of pipes, and over massive jumps.
Compete in races that span many familiar F-Zero modes, like Grand Prix, Time Attack and Vs. Play through a new Story mode, where you follow Captain Falcon as he races through missions and completes various challenges.
Use the points you win in races to buy parts and build your own speeder in Custom mode. Connect with the arcade version and transfer enough parts to make up to 8,000 unique racing combinations.
Race a home-built, custom machine in the arcade or bring your Memory Card and transfer additional pilots and all kinds of custom parts from the arcade version to the Nintendo GameCube.
FINAL FANTASY® CRYSTAL CHRONICLES™
Discover multiplayer connectivity! Up to four players can play simultaneously, working cooperatively to solve puzzles and defeat enemies on their quest, using their Game Boy Advance systems to control their character data and view character information. Some clues may only be available to certain players, and they’ll have to communicate and cooperate to share the information they receive on their personal game screens!
Line up four players side-by-side to communicate with one another as you move through dungeons and defeat enemies together.
Developed by The Game Designers Studio/Square Enix Co., Ltd.
GIFTPIA™
Experience an offbeat, colorful and stylish alternative to mainstream RPGs. Your island is filled with oddball citizens in need of your help to make enough money to pay for a new Coming-of-Age Ceremony.
Use your freedom to decide how you want to play and what you want to do. There are dozens of quests, odd jobs and mini-games. You can go fishing, listen to the local radio station, fix up the town or give the locals a hand.
Avoid the dreaded sleep ghosts! If Pockle stays up too late, sleep ghosts come and haunt him until he finally passes out. The more tasks you accomplish, the more mature Pockle becomes and the later he is allowed to stay out.
Keep Pockle well fed to stave off hunger, too--hunger reduces health, and if he starves, the game ends.
GEIST™
Explore the compound as a ghost, then possess more than a dozen unique character types using their weapons, equipment, skills, and even memories, to complete your goals. Possessions range from soldiers with guns to dog- and mouse-like creatures that can perform specialized physical tasks.
Choose different characters and see the world in different ways.
Travel through the human world virtually unseen, using your abilities to slip through cracks, interfere with electronics, move objects and more. Face challenges from two unique angles--as a possessed human or a lurking spirit hunting its prey.
Prepare for death matches with the dead in all-new multiplayer modes that combine first-person combat with unique ghost and possession mechanics.
Break and slide around corners with a unique "push" action. "Charge-up" as you slide, then release for break-neck acceleration!
Kirby wouldn't be Kirby without stealing enemy abilities and using them to his advantage. Copy enemy abilities with a single button.
Three distinct play modes push the racing genre in new directions. The Air Ride and Top Ride modes offer 3- and 2-D racing, respectively, while the City Trial mode takes the battle action from the Air Ride mode and turns it into a race for power-ups before launching players into full-on tournament battle.
Establish your racing dominance and win races by mastering corner slides and gliding through the air with no acceleration button.
Race different types of warpstar vehicles, each with different racing properties.
THE LEGEND OF ZELDA®: FOUR SWORDS™ (GCN)
Control the game by connecting one to four Game Boy Advance systems to the Nintendo GameCube (no Game Pak is required for the Game Boy Advance).
Explore cooperatively on a single television--or duck into the underground world within your Game Boy Advance to see what lurks below.
Work together with other players to defeat enemies that go back and forth between the Nintendo GameCube and Game Boy Advance screens. Control enemies on the Nintendo GameCube by hitting switches on the Game Boy Advance screen with their swords.
Use strategy to find out where other players are on the Nintendo GameCube screen or where they're hiding in the caverns of the Game Boy Advance. While players are inside the caves or houses, they can see secret messages on the Game Boy Advance screen or perform actions without others knowing.
THE LEGEND OF ZELDA®: TETRA’S TRACKERS™
Experience a new level of connectivity between Nintendo GameCube and Game Boy Advance. Compete against one another to prove your skills as trackers.
Control four different colored versions of Link, from the Legend of Zelda series, including characters from The Legend of Zelda®: The Wind Waker™. Tetra, the young leader of the pirates, guides you as you race to gather stamps from her pirate followers.
Use the Game Boy Advance as a game screen and a controller, and race against up to three friends. Exclusive information appears on each player’s screen, while Tetra guides the group along the way with cues that appear on Nintendo GameCube.
MARIO GOLF™: TOADSTOOL TOUR
Choose to play on a conventional course or an all-new course designed from the ground up to be all about the Mushroom Kingdom! Chip over warp pipes and avoid hazards like Piranha Plants, Chain Chomps and Thwomps when playing on Mario-inspired courses.
Tee for two, three or four! You can tee-off solo or fill out a foursome for some friendly competition.
Control your swing in a manual mode for experts and a partially automated mode for novices.
Connect with the upcoming Mario Golf Advance Tour for Game Boy Advance and transfer characters back and forth.
MARIO KART®: DOUBLE DASH!!™
Double the fun! Each kart holds two racers that can switch places at any time. Choose from a huge cast of favorites, like: Luigi, Peach, Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Wario and many more, and pair them up in any combination. The character in front handles the driving duties, while the character in the rear doles out damage with six different items plus eight special items that only specific characters can use.
Reach new levels of frenzy with four-player mayhem, as each player controls two characters as they speed through Mushroom Kingdom courses.
Place first in racing circuits to open up progressively more difficult circuits. Of course, you can have multiplayer races on any open courses or battle in arenas.
Link the game with eight other players using a broadband adapter and race each other side-by-side using multiple game systems and multiple televisions!

Plug in your Game Boy Advance and use it as a controller, or transfer your favorite game to it and play it on the go!
PIKMIN™ 2
Alternate controlling the main characters, Olimar and his assistant, as you command your Pikmin to defeat enemies, propagate more Pikmin, collect precious doodads, and solve puzzles.
Take advantage of new colors of Pikmin and use new items strategically—with more than 60 different species of enemy characters and randomly generated dungeons that span the planet, the game features even more game play than the original.
Command red, blue and yellow Pikmin, as they all make a return, each with special abilities, like water resistance, bomb-carrying skills and invulnerability to fire. Watch for new Pikmin colors to make their debut, and their special skills become integral, as you battle your way toward the valuable doodads strewn across the planet.
Head straight for the action or spend as much time exploring as you please, as time in this game is limitless.
Open up brand new game play possibilities by playing cooperatively with a second player.
POKÉMON BOX
Players can save up to 1,500 Pokémon to a special Memory Card for Nintendo GameCube, more than three times as many Pokémon as those that can be stored in a Pokémon Ruby or Pokémon Sapphire game pak. Pokémon Box provides a solution for players who have captured Pokémon in their Game Boy Advance games but don't have enough space to keep them.
Using this software, players can experience Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire on their television screen. As they capture more Pokémon, they can store them on to a Nintendo GameCube Memory Card (Playing Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire on the television screen supports single player mode).
Players need a Game Boy Advance system, Pokémon Ruby or Pokémon Sapphire, Game Boy Advance Game Link cable, and Nintendo GameCube system to use Pokémon Box.
POKÉMON CHANNEL™
Players explore the beaches, mountains and woods of the Pokémon world--even make friends with a wild Pikachu. Throughout the game, players watch Pokémon- themed television programs, including never-before-seen DVD quality animation featuring the popular Pichu Bros. Other in-game television programs include a quiz show, news channel, shopping channel and much more!
When players wish to "stop and smell the roses," they can choose different scenes from the in-game television programs and color them in with a paint tool. Finished artwork can then be displayed in Smeargle’s art gallery.
Players also can find and collect 3-D Pokémon "NiceCard" lenticulars and play a virtual version of Pokémon® Mini.
POKÉMON COLOSSEUM™
A follow-up to the highly popular Pokémon Stadium™ and Pokémon Stadium 2™ games for Nintendo® 64, Pokémon Colosseum continues the fun and excitement in collecting a whole new batch of Pokémon characters.
Completely compatible with Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire, players can battle with more than 200 Pokémon from the two games on their Nintendo GameCube. Players simply insert their Pokémon Ruby or Pokémon Sapphire game into the Game Boy Advance, connect to a Nintendo GameCube via the Nintendo GameCube Game Boy Advance cable, and Pokémon appear in Pokémon Colosseum!
Up to four players, each with a Game Boy Advance system, can connect to Nintendo GameCube and battle their Pokémon against each other. Pokémon Masters must overpower the competition in various tournaments to become the best Pokémon trainer ever.
STAR FOX® 2
Switch between flying an Arwing, driving a Landmaster Tank or engaging the enemy on foot as you battle through areas swarming with enemies.
Participate in co-op missions, which are played using split-screen with each player commanding his own vehicle, or play with a "wingman," as one player rides on the wing of the Arwing (or side panel of the Landmaster Tank) and blasts enemies while the pilot drives.
Play through missions solo or plug in with up to three other players.
WARIO WORLD™
Experience extremely fast-paced game play, making for a rolling good time, as Wario puts up his dukes to battle a seemingly endless tide of weird and wild enemies.
Help Wario brawl his way through huge areas, as he tries to reclaim his treasure. He'll have to defeat big bosses and save innocent creatures that are scattered throughout the worlds as well.
Use all kinds of over-the-top wrestling-style moves at Wario’s disposal.
Laugh with Wario as he takes damage in comical ways, becoming flat as a board or catching on fire.
