Revision as of 13:01, 11 October 2007
For some people's complaints about Nintendo not focusing on "real" games enough, it seems they've got more than they did with GamCube, even before we know what they'll show at E3. For GameCube I think I've got all NOA-released titles for 2001 and 2002. For Wii I've listed titles with 2007 NOA release dates.
Series showing up on both; a wash
||Mario Party 4|Mario Party 8
Metroid Prime|Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Super Mario Sunshine|Super Mario Galaxy
2 traditional|2 traditional
1 nontraditional|1 nontraditional||
GameCube vs Wii
||Animal Crossing|Battalion Wars 2
Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem|Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree
Luigi's Mansion|Donkey Kong Barrel Blast
Magical Mirror Starring Mickey Mouse|Excite Truck
NBA Courtside 2002|Fire Emblem
Pikmin|The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Star Fox Adventures|Mario Strikers Charged
Super Smash Bros. Melee|Pokémon Battle Revolution
Wave Race: Blue Storm|Super Paper Mario
|WarioWare: Smooth Moves
|Wii Play
|Wii Sports
7 traditional|8 traditional
2 nontraditional|4 nontraditional||
Total
||GameCube|Wii
9 traditional|10 traditional
3 nontraditional|5 nontraditional||
Italicizing those titles that frequently get derided for being nongames, kiddy games, or minigame fests by the hardcore, Wii leads GameCube on both counts.

-Yearly Comparisons
I above combined things in 2001+2002 and 2006+2007 to talk about overall statistics, but here's how things would be split between years and not sticking series showing up on both into a separate category.
Year 1
||N64 1996|GCN 2001|Wii 2006
Cruis'n USA|Luigi's Mansion|Excite Truck
Killer Instinct Gold|Pikmin|The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire|Wave Race: Blue Storm|
Super Mario 64| |
Wave Race 64: Kawasaki Jet Ski| |
6 traditional|4 traditional|2 traditional
0 nontraditional|0 nontraditional|1 nontraditional||
N64 > GameCube > Wii in total and traditional. Worth noting N64 was out two more months than GCN and Wii the first year.
