People love the GC controller but I prefer the N64 even considering joystick failure. I never liked the stiff joysticks and mushy l/r buttons on the GC.

I also feel like the N64 was the last Nintendo console made for kids and adults. GC games seem cutesy and infantalized compared to older Nintendo consoles, and they’ve been like that ever since.

Cartridges are superior to discs for game performance and stack nicely without cases. They are also less prone to damage.

Most importantly, the N64 hit my nostalgia prime time where the GC was too late. My younger relatives love the GC.

GameCube had more T to M rated games than any other Nintendo console.

  Yeah but the main line games like Mario were way more childish.

    Mario Sunshine is more childish than Mario 64? 🤨
    
    The only Mario game that has a political message is more childish than the one entirely about getting some pie?

    I think they were going for Game Cube level “child-friendliness” with the 64 but didn’t have the fidelity for it until the Game Cube. I don’t think Mario Kart 64 or Super Smash Bros was any more or less cutesy than Double Dash or Melee.
    
    Wind Waker was definitely more light-hearted than Ocarina or Majora’s Mask, though.
