Though it looks like a toy, don't be fooled: the Nintendo GameCube is a powerful video game console that rightly deserves its place among the other next-generation game systems. In fact, its playful, appealing design and small size (the unit is a not-quite-cubed 6 inches) aren't the only features that set it apart from the others. For starters, Nintendo has quite clearly made this a game-only machine. It doesn't try to play your CD collection, run your movies, read your e-mail, or store your MP3 files. The company has concentrated its efforts on games. All the prelaunch titles we've seen play smoothly, with bright, fast graphics and great sound. Nintendo says its engineers have removed traditional bottlenecks that have, in the past, slowed down processing. New components designed by IBM and MoSys, as well as a large-capacity secondary memory cache, keep instructions moving through the system's microprocessor (MPU) at peak levels. In English: the GameCube is optimized to push speed up while pushing costs down; hence its position at the lower end of the price spectrum. The GameCube is the first Nintendo video game system to use a disc-based medium rather than cartridges for its games. Moving the software to disc media generally means lower development costs for the publishers, which, in turn, trickles down to the consumer not only in price, but also in availability and quality, as it's then easier to try out untested game ideas (Pikmin, anyone?). While most other systems likewise have their games stored on discs, the GameCube's 3-inch format is smaller than everyone else's, and is so designed to fit in a shirt pocket as much as to deter would-be software pirates. Of course, the main advantage of the GameCube is that it's the home field of one of the world's premier game designers: Nintendo. While powerhouses Electronic Arts and Sega make games for all systems (including this one), you can play Nintendo games only on a Nintendo system. And Nintendo, you might recall, has been hitting them out of the park since it started with Donkey Kong. In fact, here's a roll call of characters and series you won't find on the other consoles: Mario, Legend of Zelda, Perfect Dark, Metroid, Kirby, and, of course, Pokémon. A few names that the GameCube will share with the other guys: Madden, Tony Hawk, Sonic, Batman, and Star Wars. The system also comes with four built-in controller ports, so you can easily plug in extra controllers and let friends join in for the multiplayer games--it's even got a built-in handle so you can easily move it to a friend's house. It comes with two memory card slots for saving your progress through games, and there's the capacity for future expansion into the world of online gaming. In short, the GameCube isn't an all-in-one entertainment system, and neither is it the most powerful of the modern video game consoles. But for video game enthusiasts who want to stick with their favorite characters, its value cannot be beat. --Porter B.

Gamecube Console Black Reviews
There were no issues with the parcel. Thank you very much for the Gamecube. My sun is very happy.
Data Transfer Speed: 16 Mbps to 25 Mbps. if you have the game boy ds or advance all that is - is a smaller more portable system that is in away like this system basicly. I'm unsure if they are still making games for this system or not. Main Memory: 24 MB MoSys 1T-SRAM.
System Memory: 40 MB. Memory Card Slots: Two. Texture-Read Bandwidth: 10.4 GB per second (peak). if your a collector (like me) I would go find some deals before you cant find it anymore. Sound Performance: 64 simultaneous channels, ADPCM encoding. Media: Video Game. Polygon Performance: 6 to 12 million polygons per second (peak). one sec I'll check that right now.it doesnt seem like they are making games for it.
alright back to the basics here. Unit Specifications. I have checked gamespot and gamestop ~ gamestop has a link to there old used items but no news on making new games. as for gamespot no link to any news on upcoming games for this system.
It's hard to understand why this was not a big hit as it could of been. Audio-Video Output: Analog and digital. for a while now. I'm just wondering when they are going to lower the price again. it's been at $[.].
Graphics Processor: 162 MHz custom ATI/Nintendo Flipper. Dimensions: 4.3 by 5.9 by 6.3 inches (height by width by depth). Controller Ports: Four. but do your home work on the prices knowing it's going to be a classic prices may jump on other peoples listings. did nintendo give up on this.
Disc Drive: 128 ms CAV (Constant Angular Velocity) system. Media: 3-inch, 1.5 GB capacity disc. Main Memory Bandwidth: 2.6 GB per second (peak). so in other words did the gameboy drown this system. came out in June 15, 2006 thats about 2 years old coming up on 3 years soon. Sound Processor: 81 MHz custom Macronix 16-bit DSP.
it's more of there like the same thing. Product Dimensions: 6 x 7 x 5 inches ; 5 pounds. MPU (Microprocessor Unit): 485 MHz custom IBM PowerPC Gekko. Pixel Depth: 24-bit color, 24-bit Z buffer. or did they bust it them~selfs coming out with a new gameboy. Release Date: June 15, 2006
I guess that answers it no new games for this system.
Why. Yeah, this is a dead console. The one who gave gaming it's all, Nintendo Gamecube.
Rest in peace Gamecube, you've earned it. Plus, exclusives like Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, Animal Crossing, and Chibi Robo. But which is a better game station.
So as probaly the last reviewer, let me say, life well lived. It didn't play DVD's or CD's. The Wii has now spawned off.
Now this did not sell as well as Playstation 2 or Xbox.
Mario will always be popular, no matter what system he's on, past or present. Some titles to get for this are: Super Smash Bros. Some of you own the next-generation systems, with all the bells and whistles, but this system only does one thing and it does it well: I plays games and ONLY games. This sleek little box has some power to it, and the unique gaming format (small discs) makes it great to collect for.
The name says it all for fans of "gaming". Nintendo has always made quality systems, and not one of their systems I've owned (and I've owned them all) has broken down on me. Since I've owned my Gamecube, I haven't had ONE problem with it. The Gamecube. Games are also reasonable, some being as low as 5 bucks. Although this system doesn't do anything else besides play games, isn't that what you really want to do. Over 400 titles exist to pick up, plus plenty of other accessories (the Gameboy Player to name one) should keep you busy for a long time. From a collector's standpoint, the Gamecube is now the perfect time to get started on this system.
It's cheap, it's easy to collect for, and it'll last a lifetime for your gaming needs. So, in conclusion, the Gamecube might be the next system you'd like to own. And since the Wii is backward compatible, they should be easy enough to get.
It's also at a great price now, and the availability of games is still in good force so you shouldn't lack for being able to obtain titles you want. As I said earlier, most of these can be gotten for under $10.00. Be warned: The "Mario" titles can still go for as much as $30.00 depending on where you shop.
You'll read on the net that Xbox 360 owners all too frequently suffer the "red rings of death" and their systems crash and burn, requiring delays as Microsoft repairs them or sends them another unit. For fans of Nintendo, this system will be more than satisfying to you. Melee, Tales of Symphonia, Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, Pokemon Colosseum, Pokemon: Gales of Darkness, Super Mario Sunshine, Luigi's Mansion.the list goes on and on.
If you're a fan of Nintendo, get this system.
and there is no dvd or cd player function, but the multiplayer games rock. game cube games are fun, but there are very few mature games out there.
