Nintendo games were completely crazy in that age.
Gamecube days have been such a good ride. Man, what a lineup.
Super Mario Sunshine is an astonishing experience, it's a joy to play and a HD remaster with the five additional worlds originally intended to stay in the game would be awesome.
Wind Waker is not my favourite Zelda, but it's a true gem and it was very brave to make such a leap from OoT/MM chapters.
And then we have the successful experiments of Metroid Prime 1 & 2 (two of the best games ever, especially the first), Luigi's Mansion at launch, DK Jungle Beat, Kirby Air Ride, Pikmin 1 & 2, Paper Mario 2, the two and only Pokèmon rpgs for home consoles, Eternal Darkness, Chibi-Robo, the first Animal Crossing outside Japan, Melee, Double Dash (even if I didn't like it at all), Doshin the Giant (originally published for the 64DD expansion), etc.
Wii and Wii U first party games are still great and some of them even better than their Gamecube chapters (Galaxy is generally considered better than Sunshine, Mario Kart 8 destroyed everything before it, Pikmin 3 is imo better than 1 % 2 and maybe I'm the only one who liked Skyward Sword more than Wind Waker), but that "taste" has been quite lost.
