  You changed my mind, I will now be more fondly
context: The Wii is one of the highest selling consoles of all time. It is and remains immensely popular, and I do think that if you are consistently seeing people trash it, then you are in some rather niche circles. 
  But, as far as the Gamecube, there is good reason to try and lift it up. The GC was not popular on release and it did not capture the public nearly as much as the Wii, as you acknowledge. So, a lot of the people you describe going back to it are likely people who never played it as a kid and are just now experiencing it's great library of games. Most people have already played their favorite Wii games and have moved on.
  Plus, this is just anecdotal, but I hear my friends and such have nostalgia for the Wii all the time. They were hyped for the switch remakes of Wii games and go back to play it much more often than any Gamecube games. It may just be a generational thing, but I do not experience the narrative you describe at all. >
  
  I guess it's probably a taste thing but my biggest issue with the Wii is it's best games were either port, got ported to PlayStation, Xbox or pc or were remasters of GameCube (resident evil remake is class). Everything that remained  feels was for different audaince.And even though I think that's fine an issue I have with Nintendo is there always happy doing "enough" they never push the boundaries in a graphic, narrative or game design sense.Even know occasionally I'll be interested in a fire element or a breath of the wild but the diversity of choice in games and Gerne is just so small from the outside looking in.I will admit the fact since the GameCube they are super weird with third party developer is the main reason they don't appeal to me. >
  
  It’s the WiiU people don’t remember fondly
