Nope. I got more good Nintendo games on Wii than I got for Gamecube. Just because Nintendo added a ton of casual stuff to the hardcore stuff does not make it bad at all.

People might say "but Nintendo could have focused on hardcore games instead of Wii sports resort" etc etc but in what Universe does e.g.a Wii Sports game have the same development time or need the same amount of money to produce as one of Nintendo's top IPs?

I got 2 Mario games compared to GCs 1. I also got a Sin and Punishment (which basically is StarFox wihtout ArWings) I got a Metroid Prime game. I also got a Paper Mario game (even tho that was was meh). I also got Fire Emblem and Battalion Wars, Smash and Mario Kart. I got 2 Zelda games (1 was a port tho). There is Xenoblade, The Last Story and Pandoras Tower etc etc.

I see all the Wii "insert word" games as an addition to all the typical Nintendo games. I would also have loved to get more god-tier games with exploration and story etc instead of "prototypes" or "minigame collections" but I cannot complain when I compare Wii to Gamecube.

Nintendo's mistake was not to go for the casuals it was for not knowing what to do with them once they got them to buy a Wii.

Another mistake was letting third party force them to make the "seal of quality" useless.   If the seal would still be in use (the original use) then we would not have gotten all the 20mb flash game crap software  burned on disks and then sold at retail.
