The '''Nintendo GameCube''' (Japanese: '''ニンテンドーゲームキューブ'''), officially abbreviated '''GCN''' or '''NGC''' is [[Nintendo]]'s sixth-generation home console. The console was released on September 14, 2001 in Japan, November 18, 2001 in North America, May 3, 2002 in Europe, and May 17, 2002 in Australia. It is a powerful system, with a compact design, four controller ports, a controller with an ergonomic design, small but large-capacity discs, a large game library, connectivity with the [[Game Boy Advance]] and a form of online play. The console's surface has three buttons on top: Open, Reset, and Power. In 2006, it was succeeded by [[Wii]], which also features ports for most GameCube hardware as well as compatibility for its software. The system's lifespan ended in 2007.

−
The GameCube console is capable of hosting up to four player games with its four controller ports. One such four player title is ''The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures''. As the system was a disc player instead of a cartridge based console, separate [[memory cards]] had to be purchased to save game data. Only two slots were available for memory card usage. GameCube discs are smaller than the industry standard of 5 inches, the smaller discs measured 3.5 inches in diameter.

File:GCN opening jingle.ogg The GameCube's opening jingle The Nintendo GameCube (Japanese: ニンテンドーゲームキューブ), officially abbreviated GCN or NGC is Nintendo's sixth-generation home console. The console was released on September 14, 2001 in Japan, November 18, 2001 in North America, May 3, 2002 in Europe, and May 17, 2002 in Australia. It is a powerful system, with a compact design, four controller ports, a controller with an ergonomic design, small but large-capacity discs, a large game library, connectivity with the Game Boy Advance and a form of online play. The console's surface has three buttons on top: Open, Reset, and Power. In 2006, it was succeeded by Wii, which also features ports for most GameCube hardware as well as compatibility for its software. The system's lifespan ended in 2007.

There were four colors that the Nintendo GameCube was released in: Purple, Black, Orange, and Silver.

A special version of the GameCube was released by Panasonic with the ability to play DVDs and audio CDs as well as GameCube games. It was named the Panasonic Q and was only available in Japan.

Features

The GameCube console is capable of hosting up to four player games with its four controller ports. One such four player title is The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures. As the system was a disc player instead of a cartridge based console, separate memory cards had to be purchased to save game data. Only two slots were available for memory card usage. GameCube discs are smaller than the industry standard of 5 inches, the smaller discs measured 3.5 inches in diameter.

Development

The GameCube's codename during development was "Dolphin".
