GameCube was Nintendo's highest quality generation and the last time they'd target hardcore gamers

[Stupid Clown]

First party Nintendo games were at their best in terms of quality. There's basically no bad Nintendo games on GameCube. Almost every Nintendo IP experimented in some way. Mario Sunshine with water mechanics, Donkey Kong with bongos, Zelda with boat and wolf gimmicks, Star Fox with ground combat, double racers in Mario Kart, F zero with larger races.

This wasn't modern tier Nintendo "Look at zeh wacky realistic people in Mario!" This was actually experimentation in gameplay and innovation.

Not only did Nintendo breathe life into old IPs, but we got a ton of new and interesting games such as Pikmin, (one of my favorites) Luigi's Mansion, Chibi Robo, and Custom Robo.

I'd also argue it was the first time since the SNES that Nintendo has great first part support. They decided to target a more mature audience with the GameCube and got the definitive version of RE4 at the time as well as RE1 remake. Ofc there were other fantastic third party games such as Super Monkey Ball and Phantasy Star Online.

We'll never get another generation like GameCube. GameCube was the last Nintendo console to target hardcore gamers.

Then they realised that they would make 100x more money if they pandered to casuals and retarded little kids

Unfortunately. We still got a few more good games with the Wii. The begining of the end was the Wii U and 3ds era. I could count the good games released on those systems with two hands. Switch was somehow even more mediocre.

I will never forgive them for killing F-Zero and Custom Robo. 99 is not a real title but an indie game and is already dead single it's a stupid BR instead of being a SP game with optional online.

F zero GX sold great too. They should've made another entry when the series was still relevant, but no! Shiggy had to cock block any attempts to make another game. Star Fox had a similar fate. Assault sold fairly well and shiggy prevented them from making a sequel on the wii, and instead decided to commission a game focusing on shitty outdated mechanics from the 90s
