Hands down N64. I never wanted for games on my N64, but my gamecube was definitely my secondary console...

Personally I never played the Paper Mario games, and found Double Dash better, (though from a commercial point of view less well designed, as it was less accessible) than MK64, but yeah, I agree with the general sentiment that Nintendo's games declined steeply in quality from N64 to GCN. |
PLAY THEM!!!
N64 is the most important, but GCN was the better system.

Not true. The problem was the price of games.

Tough to say.. I have nostalgia for both in different ways: N64 was my console growing up as a kid, Gamecube as a teen.
I'd have to say N64 for the multi - Goldeneye, Smash Bros, Mario Kart 64, Mario Party, etc..
Gamecube for the single player - Metroid Prime, Eternal Darkness, Tales of Symphonia, Pikmin

I was a teenager by the time I had my N64, and I still think the Gamecube has it beat. Don't assume everyone shares your opinion.

The triggers on the Gamecube were a mistake as they had a much more negative impact on the gameplay than anything. There were three of them, although no one remembers that there was a the Z-trigger, because it was never used and difficult to find. The L & R were just really awkward to press as they were huge and quishy/springy, and made toy-like clacking noises when you pressed down on them.
On the otherhand, the N64 analog stick revolutionized gaming. Analog sticks have since become a standard of the industry, all major gaming consoles have them.
The controller was just all around bad. It's probably the only controller I really found difficult to use, although I haven't held the original Xbox controller.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Gamecube had the first wireless controller

I was a young adult when OoT launched, and it was amazing for it's time. But NES (to me) is still the best console ever made, and Twilight Princess took everything that Ocarina did, but did it better.
To me, I'd vote N64 at the end of the day, because it had so many great multiplayer games, and because of major hits like Star Fox and Zelda. Gamecube was good, and it had some great games on it, but Nintendo also experimented too much with some of their franchises in ways that I was just not a fan of, such as Sunshine, Double Dash, and Wind Waker. And "Star Fox" Assault almost isn't even worth mentioning.
What it really comes down to, as far as games I actually liked, is this:
N64 - Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Ocarina of Time, Goldeneye, Star Fox 64, Blast Corps, Body Harvest, Turok 2, Doom 64, Extreme G, Banjo-Kazooie, NBA Hangtime (4 player), Beetle Adventure Racing, Tetrisphere, Bomberman 64, Bomberman Hero, Mischif Makers, Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire, Killer Instinct Gold, WWF Wrestlemania 2000, Castlevania (not great, but decent), F-Zero X, Wave Race 64, Kirby 64, Cruis'n World, Clayfighter 63 1/3rd, Ogre Battle 64, Duke Nukem 64, Super Smash Bros., etc.
GC - Wave Race: Blue Storm, Smash Bros. Melee, Metroid Prime, Eternal Darkness, Pikmin, Pikmin 2, Soul Calibur 2, Pac-Man World Rally, Wario World, Chibi Robo, RE1 remake, Viewtiful Joe, Bloody Roar: Primal Fury, Luigi's Mansion, The Hobbit, Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, F-Zero GX, Zelda: Twilight Princess, etc.
Thing is, GC was a good system, and a few of it's games were some of the best I've ever played, those being Eternal Darkness, Metroid Prime 1, Pikmin 1 & 2, Chibi Robo, and Twlight Princess being THE best 3D Zelda I have yet to ever play. But at the end of the day, N64 just had a higher volume of games I liked for it, and while GC certainly had more third multiplatform ports, N64 wins in the exclusives department.
