Yeah, coming off of the epic Ocarina of Time, my reaction (similar to Starfox Adventures and Mario Sunshine) was "wtf Nintendo, why did you have to go and mess with what worked?" For me, the Gamecube's library was experimental in the wrong kind of way. I wish then as I do now that they had simply taken what had worked so well on N64 and improved it instead of going off on a tangent with all these wierd art styles and gameplay gimmicks. Thankfully, they later returned to form with the likes of Twilight Princess and Mario Galaxy.

Yeah, Sunshine, Mario Kart... both of those got shit on too. People talk about the Gamecube's library like it was legendary but back then, just going online and saying you OWNED a Gamecube got you mocked to the point of no end. There were a few amazing games for the system like Metroid Prime and Rouge Squadron 2 etc. but also so many underwhelming games as well. It was the first system I can remember where their main games weren't met with almost universial praise. 

Yeah, the Gamecube is Nintendo's least impressive console in my opinion. Amazing hardware, lacklustre software. As an SNES/N64 kid, I felt really let down by it. It has some real gems, but I think nostalgia and hipster culture places it in higher regard than it deserves.
