Gamecube, easily.


I'll even go as far to say if you remove Nintendo developed games from the GC its still got a better library than the Wii has even with Nintendo games.


lol, no. I can maybe see someone arguing for GC depending on their tastes if you include Nintendo (and count retail Wii only, if you add VC/WW it's over), but 3rd party?  Wii's lineup RAPES Gamecube.  Hell, I'd say even Capcom alone already has a better Wii lineup (REmake/0/4, MH3, TVC, Okami, Z&W, MM9/10) than they did GC (REmake/0/4/2/3/CV, Viewtiful Joe 1/2/RHR, PN03, K7, CVS2, MMNT).

 

I think listing ports of last gen games in defence of the Wii library shows a weakness more than strength, especially when some of those ports offer no additional content.

Uh, but I also listed ports for GC with no additional content (RE2/3/CV, CVS2) and a remake (Remake)?  If you're talking purely original releases only, you've got MH3, TVC, Z&W & MM9/10 versus RE0/4, VJ1/2/RHR, PN03 K7 & MMNT.  It's closer, but the Wii lineup still wins out imo, and it still has more coming (like Basara 3).  

 

Actually (in Europe at least) the ports of the RE games from PS1 had additional content that was otherwise only available on the Dreamcast which was from the same gen as GC.  CVX and CvS2 were the same gen too.  REmake was a brand new game, it was not a port or a tweaked port.

GC versions were still later ports.  REmake wasn't "brand new", though it was a ground up remake to the degree where I wouldn't have a problem counting it.  Of course, you could probably make the same sort of argument for Dead Rising Wii.  And honestly, the time gap between some of the Wii ports (RE4, Okami) is actually less time than CVX GC was.

Anyway, comparing made-for-the-platform "original" titles...
