Actually, based on reviews, Sunshine isn't the only cube title that gets a raw deal from reviewers.
Reviews of Twilight Princess call it an homage or love letter to Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker gets no mention. Also, I read a review that called Mario Kart Wii possibly the best Mario Kart since MK64.
I can't comment on the Zelda titles but Double Dash is easily a better game than MK64. More, better tracks, improved graphics and weapons, 4 player action, more fun all round really!
I think Gamecube games suffer in retrospect because they couldn't hope to be as amazing and revolutionary as those classic 64 titles were at the time but it doesn't mean that, at least in the case of Double Dash, improvements weren't made.
