No. I lived with the GameCube and was quite content at the time. However, i wish to see Nintendo succeed and i believe they will only get there by aggressively pushing the Wii U as an extension of the Wii, and not as a concession to everything that wasn't the Wii.

If the revolution went back to the drawing board, I don't see why the WiiU can't, and in the process, make a more faithful bridge to its traditional controls. If Wii bridged to S/NES via versatility, then WiiU bridges to N64/cube by the same effect, being a gen more relevant.

As an even stronger argument, what Wii failed to achieve with the classic controller, the WiiU achieves so much more elegantly, offering even double versatility as it bridges to both N64/Cube and S/NES.

MInd you I don't advocate scrapping the Wii, and WiiMote back compatibilty more than suits the need.

Stop and think about that for a second. Why would anyone want to bridge back to the N64/GameCube?
