In gamecube era I think I never saw a Grand theft auto series , Midnight club 3 dub edition , Marvel vs Capcom 2 , and other unique games that PS2 and Xbox 2001 shared but Gamecube did get Madden 

Yeah it's true it missed some big ones like the GTA games but I still think it had very good third party support getting most of the major third party franchises of the 6th generation, whereas the Wii missed all those massive 7th gen franchises I listed.

GC was my favorite 6th gen console and it had the power but it had some issues. I was a multiplatform gamer back then:

-Games like it True Crime were lacking entire mission types and music and the draw distance was horrendous.

-Games like SSX Tricky were lacking the "DVD content" that the other versions had.

-Splinter Cell's levels had to be entirely reworked and made smaller (it did have an exclusive opening cutscene, though...).

-And the controller lacked L3,R3, analog buttons (nobody used that feature, anyway), and it only had three shoulder buttons. They had to make some compromises with controls.

I do agree that it had good third party support. Most big games did come to it. Unfortunately, they often came much later than on Xbox and Playstation 2 and they were typically the worst version. Towards the end, they started tossing in exclusive Nintendo characters in multiplats so that was kinda nice.
