Revision as of 14:01, 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

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

Pilotwings 64|Super Smash Bros. Melee|Wii Sports

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.
