These two are pretty popular systems, and known for games such as Mario 64, Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2, sonic Adventure DX, Banjo Kazooie, Star Fox 64, Eternal Darkness, Killer Instinct Gold, etc. Which has the better library to you>
Personally N64 by a landslide. Gamecube was actually my least favourite Nintendo console and I actually skipped out on it that generation for the ps2. I found the N64 to have a ton of quality games I enjoyed (and sometimes still sport solo or with friends.) The only game I feel I've missed out on from the gamecube was Metroid Prime. I actually have the disc at home, I've been trying to get around to playing it for the first time.
Overall the GameCube, as it got the multiplatform games as well. However, what is good on the n64 is just so amazingly good that, for me, it edges out the GameCube.
I say the Gamecube. The Metroid Prime games alone clinch it for me. Metroid is bar-none Nintendo's best franchise, IMO, and N64 sadly did not have a Metroid game. Then you have the fan-freaking-tastic Resident Evil Remake. Super Smash Bros. Melee is Super Smash Bros. perfected. The Zelda games on Gamecube are better, because you already get both the N64 games plus the NES games on the Zelda Collector's Disc; PLUS you get the all-new Wind Waker and Twilight Princess games. And while this may be against the popular opinon, I feel Super Mario Sunshine was more fun than Super Mario 64.
And more importantly, to me at least, is the Gamecube controller. It makes all those games infintetly more fun than the N64 games are to play on that horrible thumbstick and awkward controller design that is the N64 controller.
Gamecube, because of games like Eternal Darkness, Resident Evil, Wind Waker, Metroid Prime, Pikmin, and the fact that it could also play Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance games. N64 does have the better Mario platformer, though.
N64 gets a slight edge IMO. The Gamecube has a much better controller and quite a few amazing exclusives, but I think the N64 is the more innovative system and it also has more exclusive classics - Ocarina of Time, Super Mario 64, Super Smash Bros., Doom 64, Majora's Mask, Banjo Kazooie, the list goes on...
Cube. It has all the games I really love, "Eternal Darkness" being one of my top-3 of all-time listers. I enjoyed the N64, "Blast Corps" took over my life for a summer, but the 'Cube has everything I really LOVE,
