Games with crappy textures.

Sorry, but that's a really odd case to make. Digital games, especially done in a retro style, or simply old games being brought out later? They really don't count as "___ gen". They just are. And beyond that, I'm curious as to why it matters so much to you? TP is absolutely a GC game. That's really all there is too it. The core development of the game was done on GC hardware. The GC version was just about finished. The only reason it took extra time/was delayed, is because it took them awhile to flip it and implement IR/motion controls for the Wii port, something that was fairly untested territory. But the main game is a GC game. Period.

When the core development of a game is done on a PC and then ported exclusively to release on a console, you wouldn't say that game belongs to PC. Same case here with the gamecube. They delayed the game, and then promoted it as a Wii game, with the swordplay and all that. The game went and sold millions on the Wii. It was released at the same time with the Gamecube counterpart in Japan, but localized way more quickly than the GC. Check everywhere. In the "top games of the seventh generation" TP is listed. TP belongs to the seventh generation, where it was marketed and pushed forward. The success of TP on Wii was what make Nintendo to made the next game, Skyward Sword, with motion controls only.

 

Watch Dogs is being crazily marketed as a next-gen game, despite being its core development in PC with the seventh generation consoles in mind. When it releases, it will be a next-gen game despite being the seventh gen consoles counterpart released as well. That's how it works. If Nintendo chose to delay Twilight Princess and then use it as a next-gen game, then its a next-gen game.

Metal Gear Solid V is another example of this.
