When it comes to the multiplayer abilities that are offered by console systems, no system of the era could compete with the Nintendo Wii.

One of the most important steps that Nintendo took was to make their discs larger and capable of handling large amounts of game content, a mistake that contributed to the decline of the Gamecube. The system was launched with a healthy amount of thirty titles, including Mario games on the Nintendo Wii, and was completely backwards compatible with the Gamecube titles.

The Nintendo Wii is a video game console that was produced by Nintendo as the first console successor to the Nintendo Gamecube.
