I had a similar experience to OP. N64 was my first console, which I liked, but then Gamecube really got me into gaming. When Wii came around, I was ecstatic. Scooped it up launch day, and then proceeded to play the heck out of it for the next 2 years. The thing is, I don't like the Wii. Not because of it's hardware, but because of the installments of various franchises it received.
I mean, I was a gamecube JUNKIE, i played everything on that system, so when new installments of some of my favorite games came out, and then disappointed, I was disappointed.
Twilight Princess paled in comparison to WW , Super Paper Mario had nothing on thousand year door, Metroid Prime 3 felt dumbed down, brawl was too floaty, etc etc.
I did quite enjoy Galaxy 1, more than Sunshine, and that kept me going on the Wii for a while. Then a huge drought hit, and my Wii got unplugged with a PS3 in it's place. I didn't so much as touch my Wii for a long time. Then I bought punch out on a whim ( loved it) and that rekindled my Nintendo passion. SMG2, and DKCR further intensified the flame.
When it comes down to it, I just prefer Nintendo games.
