The gamecube was in second place not third

The POINT is, Video_Game_Critic is wrong because the GC wasn't a "disaster".

But Graves, you said that the Gamecube having "a strong library with a lot of variety" is "the exact opposite of the N64". Now, Sonic Adventures notwithstanding, I think it's pretty hard to argue that the N64 has NO (or very little) variety compared to the Gamecube, and even harder to argue that its library is weak, what with OOT consistently topping "greatest ever" lists and Mario 64 being held in much higher acclaim than Sunshine, etc. etc. etc.

But if you feel you can defend your claim, by all means go ahead and show us why the N64 library is weak and lacking any sort of variety compared to the Gamecube.

Well I've played plenty of Mario 64 and Mario Sunshine. I LOVED Mario Sunshine. Mario 64 was... not bad. I'm also not a Zelda fan, but both of the N64 Zelda games are easily accessible for the Gamecube and then some. The primary reason I purchase a console for is the 3rd party games (unless it was a Sega console). As we all know the N64 wasn't the best console for 3rd party software.

With that said, here are some 3rd party Gamecube games worth mentioning.

Sonic Adventure games
Sonic classic compelations
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles
Tales of Symphonia
Skies of Arcadia
Phantasy Star Online
Capcom vs SNK 2
Def Jam fighting games
Gauntlet Dark Legacy
Mega Man series
Metal Gear Solid
Resident Evil series
Midway Arcade Treasures series
Need for Speed series
Prince of Persia series
Soul Calibur 2
SSX 3
Rainbow 6 series
Splinter Cell series
Call of Duty series
Tony Hawk series
Viewtiful Joe series
X-Men Legends series

N64 wasn't bad, but there was a lot more fun to be had with the Gamecube.
