| == Overview ==
| |
| The '''Nintendo GameCube''' (ニンテンドーゲームキューブ), officially abbreviated as '''GCN''' in the West and '''NGC''' in Japan, is [[Nintendo]]'s fifth home [[video game console]] and part of the [[sixth generation]] of gaming.
| |
|
| |
| It was the first Nintendo system to use optical discs, utilizing proprietary miniDVDs. Unlike competitors like the [[PlayStation 2]], [[Dreamcast]], and [[Xbox]], the GameCube does not support DVD or CD playback.
| |
|
| |
| GameCube also introduced improved connectivity, including official online functionality via the Broadband and Modem Adapters, and interaction with the [[Game Boy Advance]] through select titles and the [[Game Boy Player]].
| |
|
| |
| The system sold 21.74 million units globally and was succeeded by the [[Wii]] in 2006.
