Interesting graphic I just found regarding exclusives released in the first year. Doesn't include Star Fox.

I know it isn't technically a Nintendo exclusive, but it is very odd to just blatantly leave out Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle from the Switch lineup. Could also mention Snipperclips as another exclusion, though at least that one is digital so makes some sense. Basically, Switch 1 had a bit better of a lineup then the post is leading on...

GameCube is also lacking the obscure Nintendo exclusive Cubivore: Survival of the Fittest which released in February of 2002.

It's a sign of the times that you can't rely on random images you find from Google searches. Society has truly fallen...

Because my initial statement was how newer consoles are just borrowing games from other systems rather than sticking to just making new things, and you're lumping other games that aren't even what I'm talking about.

Sticking 64 next to Sunshine and going "oh yea totally the same game" is like going "A Link To The Past is totally NES Zelda" or "Sonic Heroes/Unleashed is totally the Adventure games you guys!". While the gameplay MIGHT be similar to them, they are fundamentally different games in their own right.

and my point is that Mario Sunshine wasn't wholly original because it took many of the fundamental cues like the ones I listed from 64 and was built with those and any design choices or level design they had in mind (Like with FLUDD and the Goop), and a lot of those follow ups IPs listed from the graphic were similarly as guilty with Wave Race GC being a followup to Wave Race 64, Mario Party 4 coming off the heels of Mario Party 3 in terms of the fundementals outside of the obviously different minigames and how the boards were designed, or Smash Melee being a highly refined version of 64 with the tighter controls and more stages and game modes to the point that again, It was literally called Great Fray Smash Brothers DX in Japan.

Yes, they ARE different games, but you CAN tell that they were built off of thier predecessors, to an extent that you can lump them together and with enough time, could have been able to be released on the N64 in a world where the Cube alongside the other 6th generation consoles released a few years away from when they were released because they were followups to previous entries to an IP that had entries or was on a prior console, just like a lot of Wii/Wii U/Switch games that had many followups to IPs that did get games or spinoffs series games that were different, but obviously based on what came before just like the switch 2 jewed DLCs would have been normal DLCs for the Switch in a world where the Switch 2 never existed and the games currently released purely for the S2 would have been released for the Switch.

Wonder Switch 2 is just Wonder Switch 1 with in-game content that could have been made DLC for the base game since the Switch 1 isn't dead and forgotten. Mario Kart 8 Switch 1 is just Mario Kart 8 WiiU with more tracks that could have been given to the WiiU if it didn't flop and suck so hard. you can not, in good faith, claim Sunshine and 64 is the same thing as these two examples.

and by the same token, you cannot argue in good faith that Animal Crossing on GameCube isn't just the N64 Doubutsu no Mori but released worldwide and with more content with a second, Japan-Only updated version that uses the E-Reader. and content from the localized verion that could have been in the original had they not used the pittifully low N64 carts and/or just released the game with all the content everywhere, nor can you argue that Mario Sunshine is a game that has 100% entirely different gameplay systems than 64.

That's kind of a weird position. You would expect sequels to build off the fundamentals of previous games. You're edging up on saying that anything that isn't a new IP that isn't trying to copy something else is automatically not "really" a new game.
Also, I don't see why Melee being Smash Bros. DX is really that big of a point. Like I get you're gesturing at cases where Japanese games would be called DX to denote an enhances port, like Sonic Adventure DX or Pokken DX, but that's obviously not what Melee. In fact, 64 to Melee is probably the most different feeling jump in the entire Smash Bros. series compared to any later entries, I would say even Melee to Brawl feel like closer games.
