the wii did. the support from sega/xseed/namco/tecmo/askys and on and on. i think a lot of wii owners never looked to far outside the first party game. unfortunate realy.
So posting this in the retro forum will color the results - post in the Wii forum and you might get a different result.
But it doesn't change the fact that — to me — Wii had the better overall library. Both consoles had great games but for every great game released on GameCube (and there were many) you can list something great on Wii to balance out. But Wii takes the edge because it benefited from enhanced re-releases of some classic GameCube titles, the introduction of WiiWare and Virtual Console, and full backwards compatibility of the hardware. Added bonus: buying a Wii is cheaper than buying GameCube component cables.
Anything GameCube can do, Wii can do better*. Doesn't mean GCN isn't awesome too... but if you could only own one console it's an easy choice.
GameCube. The Wii's forced motion controls somewhat killed the console for me, regardless of how good some of the games were otherwise.
Actually, most Wii games support the Classic or GameCube controller.
Not some of the most prominent first party titles which has a big impact on my overall opinion of the system.
Well Nintendo's games almost always use motion controls right.
Gamers wouldn't trash the Wii so badly if that were true. I even think Skyward Sword was ruined because of the motion controls.
Skyward Sword's controls were fine, they actually added strategy to the sword combat. Really though, the people who just hate motion controls either
A. Look at all the gimmicky shovelware that the Wii was plagued with
B. Don't even come up with a good reason for hating Motion controls other than just "OH ITZ A GIMMICK HERP DE DERP!!!"
Or maybe they would rather just sit back in a chair or lie on a couch and play games with a regular controller, rather than sit upright directly in front of the TV and have to wave their hands around in the air?
The Gamecube had two of my all time favourite ever games, RE4 and ED:SR but the Wii had an enhanced version of RE4 which I re-bought and enjoyed even more than the original. I think the Wii will edge it because it has more games and unique games that I couldn't imagine never playing again whereas the Gamecube just had some outstanding games that I may forget one day.
In terms of Nintendo games:
Mario Galaxy>Sunshine
Mario Kart Wii>Double Dash
Brawl>Melee (don't care what the pros say. Take 100 average gamers who've played neither before and see which one they prefer)
Metroid Prime 3 = Metroid Prime (couldn't call it)
WW + TP = TP + SS (couldn't call it)
I only posted this to get my avatar as the forum's thumbnail.

Nahhhhh, it can't just be that....
If you had to play like that, you were doing it wrong. If you think pressing one button to attack is better than actually having to aim and time your sword swings then you should stick to Assassin's Creed and Arkham games. Skyward Sword is my least favourite Zelda but it had the best controls of any game ever made.

You don't always have to stand up to use motion controls.

Oh really? Are you telling me then that it was possible to lay on your side on a couch, or flop over the side of a chair and play using the wiimote/nunchuck without flicking your wrist and waving shaking your first in the air while you aim the control directly at the black bar under your TV?
Sometimes I play a game while I'm in bed. It's a hell of a lot easier to just lay back with a controller than it is to have to prop yourself up with a pillow and make sure you are perfectly centered with the TV and moving your hands around.

I quit playing the game because it was such a chore. Many people complained about the controls, more than for most games, so I think it's a bit of a stretch to say that a game whose controls are so hotly debated has "the best ever".
And what's wrong with the controls of the Arkham games? They are very intuitive for combat and work very well. I don't get it...

Yeah I rarely had to lift my arms up when playing Skyward Sword. I think the only time I did this was when I was using the Bow.

In my opinion, Double Dash and Melee are better than their Wii titles. Melee does many things better than Brawl, I'm not sure which one I prefer when it comes to Super Mario Sunshine or Mario Galaxy. I never played any Metroid Prime games, so I can't say anything about those.
yeah the very fact Melee has no random tripping is already reason enough for it to be better.
goodbyes are a sad part of life but for every end there's a new beggining so one must never stop looking forward to the next dawn
