Both galaxies >> sunshine

Brawl < melee (not my personal opinion but most seem to think so)

Skyward sword < wind waker

Prime 3 < prime 1 and 2* (although prime collection is best and has Wii remote support)

Someone else can continue. I don't feel like going on any more

I guess the smart ass answer is Wii, since it has backwards compatibility w/ all GC games.

But aside from that...GC, easily.
Wii has Xenoblade and...all GC games. And that's about all of its value to me.

as a whole, wii is better because of backwards compatibility, but that's kinda cheating.

Get an older Wii, play all the GameCube games on it. Issue solved.

I don't have any issues. I'm just asking which console has better games.

Let's think.

Melee > Brawl
Windwaker > TP
Path of Radiance < Radiant Dawn
Symphonia > Symphonia 2
Primes < Other M

Thinking what other series I played on both that I could directly compare.

X-Men Legends 1 and 2 > Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1 and 2 I suppose
Soul Calibur 2 > Legends, but that's really stretching things...

Probably the Wii, but mostly because it had a far larger library and therefore had a larger number of great games.

Kind of a toss-up for me. I loved XML1 and, as the games progressed, they just nerfed exploration more and more. XML1 you could skip half a stage using teleportation. By MUA1, there were some obstacles characters could fly over but invisible barriers stopped you and forced you to drop a bridge.

People keep saying that you can play gamecube games on Wii. But that's not the question. Take the all the games specifically made for Wii and all the games specifically made for Gamecube. Then say whichever one had better games.

Is that what you're looking for, @Lobomoon ?

the Wii has a ton of great third party shit people don't bother digging up because none of them were really major releases and it got buried under all the shovelware, it doesn't help the Wii is like the only console I've seen with AAA shovelware so that immediately scares people off

the GameCube's library is more accessible to the average "gamer" and for the most part it has better offerings from Nintendo themselves than the Wii had

Would not know, I never played it on Gamecube. I just said I liked Windwaker on Gamecube more than Twilight Princess on Wii.

TP also being on Gamecube I suppose just speaks more in favour of Gamecube, which my list already did anyway.

Like someone else said, third party stuff (without comparable games on the other console) I had not even thought further about.

On GC I have (and love) Baten Kaitos, MMX:Command Mission, LotR:3rd Age and probably others I am forgetting now.

On Wii, all I can think of right now is SW3, at least it had a main series release, where GC had none.

I think GCN is better than the Wii overall, but the Wii has some gems on it. Both Galaxy games are absolutely fantastic.

That doesn't really mean much without comparing the remaining 5%. A console with only 5% of a 2000-game library being good still has more good games than a console with 25% of a 200-game library being good.

Pretty much this. The Wii gets a bad rep because of the shovelware, but there are some amazing games on it, like the Galaxies and Xenoblade.

GameCube had a much better library. Twilight Princess was on both consoles but the GameCube version was much better.

The Wii suffered from game droughts unlike any console I've ever known. After Brawl came out in early 2008, it felt like very few notable games released.

I'll take the third option. Daewoo.

For exclusives, the GC has a more console-friendly, gamer-ready library. (Soul Calibur II, Burnout, Robotech, Alien Hominid, 007 games -- and these are just 3rd party).

For a system as a whole, the Wii blows the GC out of the water. Not only with more advanced games (Prime collection, Fragile, Xenoblade, King's Story, wii-mote enhanced Gamecube titles), but also Virtual Console, bigger homebrew scene, backwards compatibility... (The GC still has LAN game capability with PSO or Mario Kart, which function while Wii's online play requires private servers; the GC also had the GBP accessory.)
