Note that I said "looked" as opposed to "look", meaning, when I was in college, the system and games looked stupid to me. The system itself looked like a toy, with bright colors and plasticy parts. This was in stark contrast to PS2 and XBox which were looking to be sinister and mature. But as far as games, Mario Sunshine looked like a joke. The game was based around a gimmik of a watergun, which seemed like a side story, not a true Mario adventure. And the name sounds "gay". I hate saying something is gay other than a person who is actualy homosextual, and I hate using the word with a negative tone. But as a straight male in his early 20s when the title was released, the last thing I would be interested in is something that had "gay" overtones. Mario Sunshine just sounds over-the-top nice, friendly, colorful, whatever you want to call it. Childish? The whole concept made me feel that Mario was no longer for me and my interests.
Then Zelda was a cartoon. And a Cartoon with big eyes and big heads and tiny child bodies. And I wept.

You were we call nowadays a "bro". Too bad you couldn't look at Eternal Darkness, Resident Evil 0 through 4 and Code Veronica, F-Zero, Blood Omen 2, Geist, Turok Evolution, etc. Oh, all the games that appealed to college bros at the time were also there, sans Halo. You could've been a better person at a younger age.

I'm quite content with the person I was at that age. There is nothing wrong with wanting to present an appealing image to friends and potential romantic interests. And while I recently enjoyed WWHD on Wii U, I would still prefer they never entered the toon relm with Zelda.
Also, GCN didn't just miss out on Halo. GTA, COD and Final Fantasy were all absent from the system. I'm not a fan of RE so the GCN was really, really lacking.
