As usual, all this mostly my opinion, going against your opinion

I beg to differ with all those saying Wii has better games. I purchased over 30 first party titles for my GameCube while on my Wii I have like 7 first party titles and about 13 games in total for my Wii.
I purchased 14 games for my Gamecube (well 13 actually, as I had already sold the GC when I bought Eternal Darkness, but it still counts for GC) 6 of them published by Nintendo.... I already have 23 Wii titles on disc (10 Nintendo) and 9 Wiiware titles (3 Nintendo) and there are a lot more that I haven't bought yet due to low funds. 
That is less then one third of the amount of GameCube games I bought. The Wii doesn't have Donkey Kong Thank God ,
StarFox Adventures was good, but not worth a sequel
and Pikmin Well it has the NPC versions (well only the 1st in America) but as they are essentially GC games they don't count... however Pikmin 3 will release eventually, and the title of the thread does say Which system has/WILL HAVE better games.
three franchises that made the GameCube for me. Then all the dozens of other great first party titles. I mean seriously pit Pokemon Colleseum and XD against Battle Revolution and tell me which game was better. I have no idea, I don't see much interest in the proper Pokemon games, never mind some crappy fighting games. 

Seriously the GameCube had several big titles that the Wii lacks, True, but the reverse is also true, although considering you can play those big titles on the Wii anyway
a proper Mario RPG. No Paper Mario RPG. Well those don't interest me, and I guess Super Paper Mario isn't counting in your books, but what did the GC have as a MarioRPG that wasn't a Paper Mario?
Only a single MarioParty, Again, thank God Pit Animal Crossing GCN against AnimalCrossing:CityFolk and forget about online to make the battle fair and try telling me that CityFolk is a better game. Then what about Pikmin, I owned both Pikmin and Pikmin 2.

Yes their are several great casual games on the Wii I won't deny GameCube didn't appeal to the casuals but as a console it had better installments of almost every franchise. Zelda (TP and WW)Agreed so far, Windwaker is awesome (TP is stalemate) , Donkey Kong (JungleBeat,Konga)Ugh , StarFox (StarFox:Assualt), Battalion Wars  (Battalionwars).Well I haven't played the 1st, but BWii is awesome (120 hours of it)  Pokemon (Collesium/XD) ugh, MarioParty(4,5,6,7),  AnimalCrossing (AC:CF). Paper Mario (Thousand year door), MetroidPrime (MetroidPrime 1,2). Afraid I haven't played the first two Primes yet, working on finding MPTrilogy for a price I can justify.

I admit MarioGalaxy and NewSuperMarioBros beat the heck out of Mario Sunshine. But name one other Nintendo core franchise where the Wii title beats its GameCube counter part?

Mario Kart

I will admit there are some things from the GameCube I would like to see again on the Wii, these being Eternal Darkness, Wave Race and more importantly F-Zero, but the Wii has things the GameCube never got too: Endless Ocean being the major one, as well as Wii Sports. And while I am very doubtful the Wii will get Eternal Darkness or Wave Race, it will (crosses fingers) get an F-Zero, and a Pikmin, and is getting another Metroid, and Zelda Wii should help even things out for that franchise.
