Nintendo actually had decent 3rd party support during the GC days, its just that most of the big 3rd party AAA games that gen were PS2 exclusive or timed exclusive like GTA, MGS, the mainline FF games, Kingdom Hearts, etc.
Nintendo's biggest problem with 3rd parties is their refusal to share the spotlight with them and promote them on their platforms. Take a look at the current holiday lineup of software for PS4 / X1 that's being advertised on TV and other media, and especially the games that are being bundled with the consoles for the holidays. Notice anything? Almost all of them are 3rd party, non-exclusive titles... when was the last time you saw a Nintendo console being bundled with a 3rd party game ?
The only one I can think of is the Star Wars Episode 1 Racer set on N64...
I believe the GC also had a limited edition RE4 bundle but that was released only outside of NA to my knowledge.
