But seriously, hear me out.
NES: Need I say more?
SNES: Lots of great classics and an incredible evolution of the NES.
N64: Nintendo's first foray into 3D consoles, the analog stick, lots of awesome, memorable games (the best wrestling games around)
Wii: Come for the motion controls, stay for the truly oddball stuff. I can't believe how much better The Last Story was than anything Final Fantasy.
Wii U: Console gaming nirvana this generation. Literally the most fun I've had with a console in years. An incredible, if somewhat small, library once you get past the gimmicks.
What did the Gamecube do? It had weird controllers, a lot of horsepower for its time, and while it certainly has a lot of great games, there aren't a lot that you can't find elsewhere. The Nintendo exclusives have largely been superseded by Wii and Wii U versions, too. With Smash Wii U out, why would you ever play Melee again? I don't even play N64 Smash anymore since I got the Wii U version, and I loved that game. Don't even get me started on Resident Evil 4. In addition to coming out on just about every other console, have you seen the proper HD mods for the PC version?
The only game that gets me hype for the Gamecube anymore is Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes. Yeah, yeah, crucify me for that, too.
