The GameCube had the best 1st party library ever, but the Wii had many great games.

Too much time spent in badly controlled on-foot segments. Fox should stay in his Arwing; whenever he leaves it, awfulness ensues.

Wii had a fantastic lineup, it just wasn't all from Nintendo.

Nintendo really need to get back into their older franchises to cover more genres. As great as their Wii software was, and as much as I'm loving their Wii U output. It doesn't hit as many genres as they used to do. The Wii U in particular has been very platformer centric.

Foot missions were a bit clunky yes, and inferior to the Arwing gameplay but it was enjoyable, for me atleast.

I agree with curl-6, so he's definitely not alone. Zelda, 3D Mario, Starfox...and I would add Mario Kart and Wave Race to the list of disappointing entries into each of those franchises during the Gamecube era. Not that they are "bad" games by any means...but they didn't live up to my expectations of Nintendo's usual quality and standards...especially compared to their direct predecessors on the N64. 

I share curl´s opinion, especially when it comes to Mario Sunshine.The 'worst' 3D Mario by a long shot.

Exactly; coming off the amazing Ocarina of Time, Starfox 64, Mario 64, etc, it was just such a disappointment. All we wanted was for these awesome games to be taken to the next level, and instead we got watered down substitutes.

PFFFFFFF

Out of the 21m GC users 6M+ and 4.5M+ bought Zelda and Mario. Were also universally acclaimed by the media. Just look at Metacritic scores and user scores.

Adventures IS DInosaur planet period. The content of the game is the same in high percentage. Your just mad and stubborn because you liked Starfox shooter style more OK we get it. Adventures is a different game. and a good one by the way. Dont be a kid deal with it.

LOL Adventures has nothing to do with Banjo Kazooie please dont make yourself look like a fool.

@Boldedunderlined...

LOL raise the series to greatness yeah, look at it now....pretty great isn it?

Again youre alone amongst core gamers. Be happy living in your island.

As much as this seems like it was a huge step forwards, changing things like this (along with how limited equipment was in previous games) took away most of the tension the game had effectively stopping it being a "survival horror".

I loved RE4, but it was a completely different beast to the previous games and in a lot of ways I miss the stuff from the older games.

The Doors/Stairs were also for the most part a design choice to deliberately pace the game play. (much like the interesting control scheme decisions were). That was why Resident Evil: Code Veronica retained a lot of these design nuances.

Don't worry curl-6 I'm with you too.

The Gamecube was a disaster. I completely skipped the console and I don't regeret it. So far Wind Waker in the Wii U is my least favourite Zelda! I tried Star Fox Assault on a friends house and it sucked. F-Zero X was way better than F Zero GX! The good thing that came out of the gamecube was Pikmin and Metroid prime. Resident Evil 4 was also a great game too but it also came to the PS2 and it sold better on it. .
