I'm a Nintendo fan and I just accepted that Wii U is N64 2.

No. It's GameCube2.

Nah, the GC was actually in a tossup with the Xbox for most powerful console of the gen, while the Wii U is a gen behind.  And for all the talk about Nintendo's lack of 3rd party support over the past few gens, the GC received a pretty good share of 3rd party games, many of which were superior to the PS2 versions in terms of visuals.

I'm just curious here, but can you give me like a dozen or so examples where this were the case between 2001-2004? Because to my understanding GC versions of multi-platform games were almost always deemed the worst of the pack. Even Sonic Adventure 2 took a performance hit on the Gamecube, a port of a freaking Dreamcast game.

Just about every single multiplatform game that was released on the GC looked either the same or better than the PS2 versions, depending on the developer.  Sonic Adventure 2 was just that... a port, so that's not an accurate comparison.

The most notable difference is between the GC and PS2 versions of RE4...

Bolded: Erm...

 

And for the record, I've played RE4 on both GC and PS2, I know what the differences are. But this is why I said we should go by the peak of the generation (which for the most part is agreed to be 2001-2004), Vectorman didn't exactly move any Genesis/Mega Drives.
