GameCube didn't have a proper 2D Mario, not even a proper 3D Mario (I didn't wait 8 years from Mario 64 to play a freaking buggy "Mario on Vacation" game), an underwhelming Mario Kart, and truth be told Pikmin was overrated.
Splatoon is the real deal as being the next great Nintendo franchise, Pikmin never was that.
People don't realize either but Nintendo basically gave up on the GameCube for the last two years of its life cycle.
Between November 2004 and November 2006, the only GameCube game Nintendo bothered with from any of their main teams (EAD, Retro, NST, etc.) was Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat, a freaking bongo drum platformer.
Everything else were farmed out projects like Mario Strikes (Next Level), Donkey Konga (Namco), Mario Baseball (Namco), Mario Party (Hudson), Battallion Wars (Kuju).
