What's eating at Nintendo?

[Morpheus1]

First of all, expecting another Goldeneye or Ocarina of Time is totally unrealistic. The N64 was doing 3-D gaming for the first time. Any time it got the gameplay right, it was automatically revolutionary.

That is the reason I feel N64 was better. Name a great Gamecube game that is exclusive and that didn't borrow the gameplay mechanics or style from a game that was released before on N64 (or Psx, or Dreamcast). Name a game on Gamecube that raised the standards for the whole industry or what a game should look and play like. The only games I can think of off the top of my head are Eternal Darkness, Metriod Prime, Animal Crossing, and Super Monkey Ball. The list for N64 at it's time is much longer.

What makes a game or a system great is offering gameplay experiences that are new, fresh, and original. So far, gamecube has failed at this.
