Gamecube was one of my favorite consoles. Nintendo has not made a good console since.

N64 just because ... you know that "wow" feeling you get when playing EAD Tokyo's games today ... N64 seemed to have that a lot more often.

Like you could just tell that with the N64, Nintendo was pushing themselves to the max.

With the GameCube their creative focus seemed to be confused.

100% agreed. Almost every single 1st party title on the N64 was mindblowing. I also loved the controller, it's probably my favourite (console) controller of all time, feels bigger and more stable than the PS controllers of the time.

The Gamecube had an overall stronger library. N64 has a few noteworthy titles.

I love both, but N64 is the easy winner here. Yes the controller was a problem, but the software was outstanding. N64 supported Super Mario 64 and Ocarina, two of the best games ever made, better than anything on GCN outside of Resident Evil 4, plus Majora's Mask, GoldenEye, Perfect Dark, Banjo-Kazooie, Diddy Kong Racing, Excitebike 64, Jet Force Gemini, Banjo-Tooie, Rayman 2, Resident Evil 2, Rogue Squadron, etc.

GCN had great games, most notably Wind Waker, Metroid Prime, Melee, Double Dash, and Animal Crossing, and a lot of great third party games like Prince of Persia and Beyond Good & Evil, but its library doesn't stand up to the N64 library.

Well, it's a tough battle:

Nintendo 64

- Super Mario 64 (revolutionary 3D platformer)

- Mario Kart 64 (exceptional four player action)

- The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (revolutionary 3D adventure)

- Banjo-Kazooie (excellent 3D platforming with god-tier soundtrack)

- Super Smash Bros. (revolutionary fighter with timeless gameplay enjoyment)

- Diddy Kong Racing (excellent soundtrack and gameplay variety)

- GoldenEye 007 (revolutionary single and multiplayer FPS experience)

- Banjo-Tooie (everything great about BK plus excellent multiplayer modes)

- The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (revolutionary time system and fantastic story)

- Conker's Bad Fur Day (features an opera singing pile of shit)

Gamecube

- Luigi's Mansion (highly memorable experience with great gameplay)

- Super Mario Sunshine (great visuals and use of the water mechanic)

- Super Smash Bros. Melee (god-tier gameplay, features everything great about SSB plus much more)

- F-Zero GX (greatest racer of all time)

- The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (excellent open world experience and fantastic story, soundtrack and visuals)

- Metroid Prime (great gameplay, soundtrack and immersion)

- Star Fox Adventures (perfect mix between Zelda and Rareware elements)

- Mario Kart: Double Dash!! (unique co-op take on the racing genre)

- The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (excellent dungeon design)

- Eternal Darkness (fantastic story telling)

In the end, Nintendo 64 edges it out though through its massive quantity of greatness. Largely thanks to Rare's contributions.

N64 due to having Ogrebattle 64, Perfect Dark, and Conkers Bad Fur day. Three of my all time favorite games. But I certainly loved the hell out of the Gamecube too.
