@HalcyonScarlet: I'm surprised you can like the N64 but hate the game cube but then turn around and like the WiiU. Actually I shouldn't be surprised as its the opposite of my tastes and we obviously view Nintendo differently. I love 2d Nintendo and any console they make that doesn't include Metriod to me is not worth my time. The Wii had Metriod but it wasn't near enough to save that lowest common denominator commercial success of a console in my eyes.
Nintendo started to have a more casual vibe to their games on the GC and Wii.

Lol, exactly.
The Gamecube was pretty much an improved N64 with twice the amount of games, way better graphics/framerate/controller.

2 Star Fox
3 Zelda Games
2 Metroid Prime Games
2 Pikmin games
Eternal Darkness
Rogue Squadron 1/2
ReMake
RE4
Double Dash

Phantasy Star Online 1/2
Timesplitters 2/3
Tales of Symphonia

4 Mario Party Games
Paper Mario TTYD
Twin Snakes

WWE Day of Reckoning (from the creators of No Mercy)
Nintendo actually tried this generation in terms of games output compared to something like the Wii U, they actually experimented with their games in a way not seen since.
It was pretty much the N64 but with more.
The Wii U is similar to the N64 in terms of games output, zero RPGs and barely any games.
F Zero GX is great.
Star Fox hasn't been good since the N64.
Zelda, TP wasn't bad. Don't like WW, never played Skyward Sword.
Didn't like the Prime games. Like RE4, it's just not for me, I like the old school RE games.
Pikmin was alright.
Eternal Darkness was really good the first time I played it. Needs some refinement, but I enjoyed that.
Rogue Leader on the GC is pretty good, It's no Ace Combat, but it's good. Rogue Squadron 3 is horrible though.
Not a fan of ReMake or any version of the first RE, graphics were good though, RE0 was more my thing. Others have just done it better, that's why everyone is begging for a RE2 remake.
Timesplitters is a poor imitation of Goldeneye and Perfect Dark. I've played them, they tried to move over the same type of game play, but what worked on the N64s digital C buttons is just weird on an analog stick, it's why PD Zero sucks so bad. Then Halo comes along and raises the bar way past Timesplitters.
Never got on with Smash Bros on any console. It's not my type of fighter.
Lol Day of Reckoning is no where NEAR as good as No Mercy. I played the shit out of all the N64s Wrestling games, and they were never as good after that. And I had both of the Day of Reckoning games.
It's not about quantity, but quality. Later Nintendo games just weren't the same. The Wii U has only 13 games on it that I want, but they absolutely slaughter most of Nintendo's GC and Wii games for me, I mean ****, MK 8 beats the living shit out of all the previous ones put together. I still have the GC and Wii and ironically, I still collect games for it, where as I don't on other consoles. I have most of the games listed here.
