I completely agree with the article. I want the old Nintendo back, the Nintendo that gave me the Gamecube, which I found to be so utterly awful that it pretty much killed my interest in gaming between 2003 and 2006. It gave us the worst games in each major franchise excluding Metroid Prime, which was the consoles only saving grace. I hated Mario Sunshine, I didn't enjoy Wind Waker, there was no real Donkey Kong game, Double Dash was terrible, Star Fox Adventures was a joke... I could continue with more but I think my point has been made. The Wii versions are so superior in every way that it's not even funny when someone tries to suggest otherwise.
I can never take people who claim the Gamecube to be great seriously. I mean, were they paying attention at the time? Outside of truly loyal Nintendo fans, the thing was universally hated even more than the Wii is now, it just didn't get as much attention because Nintendo were seen to be in their place behind Sony. Now they aren't, and people get louder (yes, the arguments are the same as they were back then, there are just more of them).
It's kind of like how lots of people didn't like Wind Waker when it was released, but then all of a sudden the game is magically loved and it was a classic when Twilight Princess was released. That's how I see things with lots of people when they compare the GC and the Wii.
