What Was the Last GameCube Game Released? Regional Differences Explained

The answer depends on region and whether you count dual-release Wii/GameCube discs.

North America

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess — November 19, 2006 (same day as Wii launch). This was the final first-party Nintendo GameCube SKU in NA.

Japan

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance — June 20, 2005 (JP) / November 2007 (NA localization). The JP release predates Twilight Princess, but the NA release came after.

Technicality: Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

Released August 2007 (NA) on a single Wii/GameCube hybrid disc (Wii disc structure but readable by GameCube via backwards compatibility mode). Often excluded from "last GameCube game" lists because it was marketed as a Wii title.

Summary

• Last dedicated GameCube disc (NA): Twilight Princess (Nov 2006).
• Last GameCube-compatible release (NA): Metroid Prime 3 hybrid disc (Aug 2007).
• Last JP-exclusive: Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance (Jun 2005).
