Gamecube had an exclusive Zelda, an exclusive Mario Kart, Fire Emblem, Animal Crossing, two Pokemon RPGs and a lot of great third-party titles. Gamecube had a far better lineup than Wii U. The only consoles from a mayor console maker worse than Wii U are Virtual Boy and possibly PS Vita.

I feel like Nintendo 1st-party in the GameCube era had more originality put into it. It's hard to quantify, but it's not just the nostalgia talking----lately I've been playing a lot of GameCube games on my PC (via Dolphin and a USB GameCube controller). Developers really tried to go all-out instead of making cheap, shitty cash-ins (compare the brilliance of Mario Power Tennis to the horrendous Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash). I think it's because in the GameCube era developers weren't stymied by Miyamoto who jammed his vision of a budget-obsessed, sterilized Nintendo down everyone's throat.

 Miyamoto wanted budget games? I'd like to know more please.
