Not getting this love for the Wii's launch lineup AT ALL. It was literally all garbage except for Wii Sports, and TP (which wasn't even exclusive!) Red Steel and Trauma Center: Second Opinion were the only other games worth mentioning, and hardly.
Wii U's launch lineup was far superior overall with 3 good exclusives (NSMBU, Nintendo Land, Zombi U), 3 good eShop titles (Nano Assault Neo, Trine 2: Director's Cut, Mighty Switch Force! Hyper Drive Edition), and near a dozen good third party titles and "deluxe edition" versions of some great ones that hadn't come to Wii (Mass Effect 3, Batman Arkham City, Darksiders II).
But GCN is easily the best counting Pikmin and Melee (which launched a mere 2 weeks later), especially since there were a whopping 4 other very good exclusives (Luigi's Mansion, Super Monkey Ball, Rouge Squadron II, and Wave Race: Blue Ocean). Ironically the only other console to ever come close to that great of an exclusives launch lineup was the original Xbox the same year with Halo, DOA3, Project Gotham Racing, Amped, and Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee. We just don't get launches like those 2 anymore.
