A black Nintendo GameCube.

The Nintendo GameCube is a console system developed by Nintendo, and released towards the end of 2001. The Nintendo Gamecube has no more new games coming out up to this point that people know of; for this, the system is considered a "Dead Console." The Gamecube's original name was to be "Dolphin", as noted references appear in games such as Super Mario Sunshine. The GameCube has room for two memory cards and four controllers. It has three buttons on top: Open, Reset, and Power. It has two serial ports and one hi-speed port on the bottom; their respective functions remain a mystery. The Nintendo GameCube utilizes mini-disks.

There are four main colors to the Nintendo GameCube. Purple, Black, Orange, and Silver. Purple is the original color, seen in advertisements, the trophy in Melee, and other places. Silver was released after the first three colors.

Operation of the Nintendo GameCube is subject to the following conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operations.

Many popular Mario games were made for this system, including: Super Mario Sunshine, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, and Mario Superstar Baseball.

An add-on accessory for the Nintendo GameCube known as the Game Boy Player, was released in 2003. The Game Boy Player allowed people to play Game Boy Advance titles on their television screen through their GameCube. It was recently discontinued in 2007.

Nintendo's latest bundle of joy arrived in North America on November 18, 2001, and video-game fans rejoiced. This little beauty is sleek, compact and full of cutting-edge technology. Incorporating optical media for the first time, the Nintendo GameCube was truly born to play. Rumor has it that Super Smash Bros. Melee is a software title for this wondrous device.
