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.

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.
