I think you mean 'after the GameCube'.

And even then, the GC only sat as a middle-ground between the original Xbox and the PS2. Nintendo hasn't explicitly tried to make a graphical powerhouse since the N64.

And only middle because Xbox was balls to the wall overpowered compared to the others.

I mean you may be right…but when I think of the Wii U, it was the last time we got AAA ports of games like Ninja Gaiden, Assassins Creed and yeah…even Call of Duty. Since the switch, because of the underpowered specs, not many AAA games have had competent ports (looking at you mortal Kombat 1 switch port) and most AAA quality is now only first party from Nintendo

Which is a good thing, because 99.99% of AAA games have been total shit for more than a decade.
