GameCube has a huge advantage in that it's basically the only Nintendo console to have almost EVERY major Nintendo franchise created at the time on it since the SNES/NES, right? The exception I guess being Yoshi and a """real""" Kirby game? It didn't have Donkey Kong Country either but I think that was more to do with Nintendo just wanting to innovate Donkey Kong since the Donkey Kong Jungle Beat is *kind of* like a spiritual successor to that series in the same way as Donkey Kong 64.
Expanding on my answer earlier in this thread, going to be honest, there's a good chance Wii U and Gamecube would both have libraries that appeal to me more than the N64's, which is kinda sad because the N64 definitely had more impactful and innovative titles than something like the Wii U and arguably titles with much greater quality too. I love Majora's Mask, love Banjo Kazooie (kind of have the fault of associating it in part with the 360 though), really like Ocarina of Time, and I'll probably really like Super Mario 64, too. But the camera from what I've played of Super Mario 64 seems quite annoying and on top of that so much of the N64's library is multiplayer games that are extremely iterative to the point where I don't feel the need to revisit them having played later entries.
