no one game will save the system, it needs a plethora of compelling titles like pretty much every system ever. Also N64 and GC were in different situations, N64 had those 10 or so huge, must have titles but outside of that they had no 3rd party support.
GC had decent 3rd party multiplats like PoP/Splinter Cell/Tony Hawk/EA Sports/NFS and exclusives like Symphonia/Resident Evil/Sonic Adventure/Twin Snakes but its 1st pary titles while good were kinda lacking, Sunshine seemed like a spinoff, Zelda was too cartoony for alot of people, Star Fox was fighting dinosaurs, Donkey Kong was a music game, Kirby only had a racing game, Smash/Mario Kart/Metroid/F-Zero delivered tho.
I honestly believe those consoles would have sold 40-60 million(like NES/SNES) if they had a healthy blend of must have 1st party titles and good 3rd pary support. Wii is the exception due to the casuals, but if not for them 40-60m is what i imagine it would have sold and is what Wii U has the potential to sell.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
