Overall, the Gamecube definitely has the edge over the Wii U. The Gamecube's hardware was better designed, the controller was superior to the Gamepad, the console had more first and third party games and while a lot of titles were a step back from their N64 counterparts in many ways, they were still of solid quality, which really can't be said for Devil's Third, Mario Tennis and that Animal Crossing spin-off. The Wii U didn't even have its own Zelda game prior to the Switches launch and two of its most highly rated games, Twilight Princess HD and Wind Waker HD, are Gamecube remakes.

Opinions and all, but while Gamecube was definitely better designed hardware as far as the box itself goes, the Gamepad, despite its unnecessary screen, at least had two proper analogue sticks and a proper D-Pad, while the lack of such on Gamecube's controller made some games a nightmare to control.
