Yo Mama should totally be the name of the next Nintendo console... what better way to bring back the "hard core" gamers than yo mama???

Seriously though, the consoles rank in this order in terms of major 3rd party support...

1: SNES - Most official releases in NA and PAL regions

2: NES - In addition to being pretty much the only game in town for a good part its lifespan depending on where you lived, it's debatable how much 3rd party support it would have actually received without Nintendo's strong-arm tactics of forcing developers to sign exclusive deals and to cap the number of games they could develop.

3: GameCube - Despite the distinction of worst-selling Nintendo console of all time, believe it or not the GC had nearly 650 officially released titles, and frequently received installments of major 3rd party multiplatform franchises alongside the PS2 and Xbox editions.

4: Nintendo 64 - Yes, it had the smallest software library of all Nintendo consoles (soon to be usurped by Wii U), but it still featured a healthy library of 3rd party titles including several exclusives such as the Turok, Body Harvest, the WCW / WWF games by THQ for example.

5: Wii - Although it's by far the best selling home console with the largest library (a good deal of which comes from VC and WiiWare), let's be honest here... 95% of the Wii's library is shovelware, and wading through the other 5% you'd be hard pressed to find enough solid 3rd party efforts to put it ahead of the GC or even the N64.

Last: Wii U - Self explanatory.

Honorable mention: Yo Mama - cuz she got game, yo!

Why so much hate on N64? The 'Star Wars Shadows of the Empire' game alone is worth putting it at a higher position imo.

yeah dude you pretty much nailed it on the order of 3rd party support but i think the N64 needs more love we are talking quality here and rareware made the best games of the time man conker, perfect dark, banjo, etc. plus ubisoft had some gems like rocket robot on wheels if you haven't played it yet and love n 64 platformers or just platformers in general you NEED to play this game. still to this day the best wrestling games ever wcw/nwo revenge and wwf no mercy cruisin usa/world roadsters amazing racing game. Body harvest was like an alien version of GTA before the 3rd (because the first 2 were birds eye view) one, harvest moon, jet force gemini, resident evil 2, rayman 2 it goes on and on the great 3rd party games there were, quality trumped quantity in this comparison. gotta be #3 with gamecube a close close 2nd just outta pure quality.

SNES
NES
Wii
GC
Wii U
N64

Yeah.. The N64 still had many great 3rd party games like Rayman 2, Resi 2, Turok, Doom 64, etc... All of them which were awesome!
