 Nintendo GameCube
This is a short wikipedia introduction for the Neo Geo Systems.

The GameCube is the sixth-generation console is the successor to the Nintendo 64 and competed with Sony
Computer Entertainment’s PlayStation 2 and Microsoft’s Xbox.
In 1997, a graphics hardware design company called ArtX was launched, staffed by twenty engineers who
had previously worked at SGI on the design of the Nintendo 64’s graphics hardware. The team was led by Dr.
Wei Yen, who had been SGI’s head of Nintendo Operations, the department responsible for the Nintendo 64’s
fundamental architectural design.
Partnering with Nintendo in 1998, ArtX began the complete design of the system logic and of the graphics
processor (codenamed “Flipper”) of Nintendo’s sixth-generation video game console, reportedly bearing the
early internal code name of “N2000”. At Nintendo’s press conference in May 1999, the console was first pub-
licly announced as “Project Dolphin”, the successor to the Nintendo 64. At the conference, Nintendo’s Howard
Lincoln said of ArtX, “This company is headed up by Dr. Wei Yen, the man who was primarily responsible for
the N64 graphics chip. Dr. Yen has assembled at ArtX one of the best teams of 3D graphics engineers on the
planet.” Subsequently Nintendo began providing development kits to game developers. Nintendo also formed
a strategic partnership with IBM for the production of Dolphin’s CPU, code-named “Gekko”.
ArtX was acquired by ATI in April 2000, whereupon the Flip-
per graphics processor design had already been mostly com-
pleted by ArtX and was not overtly influenced by ATI. In total,
ArtX team cofounder Greg Buchner recalled that their por-
tion of the console’s hardware design timeline had arced from
inception in 1998 to completion in 2000. Of ATI’s acquisi-
tion of ArtX, an ATI spokesperson said, “ATI now becomes a
major supplier to the game console market via Nintendo. The
Dolphin platform is reputed to be king of the hill in terms of
The Dolphin Dev-Kit.
graphics and video performance with 128-bit architecture.”
The console was announced as the Nintendo GameCube at a press conference in Japan on August 24, 2000,
abbreviated as “NGC” in Japan and “GCN” in North America. Nintendo unveiled its software lineup for the
sixth-generation console at E3 2001, focusing on fifteen launch titles, including Luigi’s Mansion and Star
Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader.Several titles that were originally scheduled to launch with the con-
sole were delayed. It is also the first console in the company’s history not to accompany a Mario platform title
at launch.
Long prior to the console’s launch, Nintendo had developed and patented an early prototype of motion con-
trols for the GameCube, with which developer Factor 5 had experimented for its launch titles. An interview
quoted Greg Thomas, Sega of America’s VP of Development as saying, “What does worry me is Dolphin’s
sensory controllers [which are rumored to include microphones and headphone jacks] because there’s an ex-
ample of someone thinking about something different.” These motion control concepts would not be deployed
to consumers for several years, until the Wii remote.
Nintendo began its marketing campaign with the catchphrase “The Nintendo Difference” at the E3 reveal. The
goal was to distinguish itself from the competition as an entertainment company. Later advertisements push
the slogan “Born to Play”, and video game commercials feature a rotating cube animation that morphs into a
GameCube logo and ends with a voice whispering, “GameCube”.
The GameCube launched in Japan on September 14, 2001. Approximately 500,000 units were shipped in time
to retailers. The console was scheduled to launch two months later in North America on November 5, 2001,
but the date was pushed back in an effort to increase the number of available units. The console eventually
launched in North America on November 18, 2001, with over 700,000 units shipped to the region. Other re-
gions followed suit the following year beginning with Europe in the second quarter of 2002.
Hardware
Howard Cheng, technical director of Nintendo technology development,
said the company’s goal was to select a “simple RISC architecture” to help
speed development of games by making it easier on software developers.
IGN reported that the system was “designed from the get-go to attract
third-party developers by offering more power at a cheaper price. Ninten-
do’s design doc for the console specifies that cost is of utmost importance,
followed by space.” Hardware partner ArtX’s Vice President Greg Buch-
ner stated that their guiding thought on the console’s hardware design was
to target the developers rather than the players, and to “look into a crystal
ball” and discern “what’s going to allow the Miyamoto-sans of the world
to develop the best games”.
Initiating the GameCube’s design in 1998, Nintendo partnered with ArtX (then acquired by ATI Technologies
during development) for the system logic and the GPU, and with IBM for the CPU. IBM designed a PowerPC-
based processor for the next-generation console, known as Gekko, which runs at 485 MHz and features a float-
ing point unit (FPU) capable of 1.9 GFLOPS. Designed at 0.18 microns and described as “an extension of the
IBM Power PC architecture”, Gekko features IBM’s reportedly then-unique copper-based chip manufacturing
technology. “Flipper”, the GPU runs at 162 MHz and, in addition to graphics, manages other tasks through its
audio and input/output (I/O) processors.
The GameCube introduced a proprietary miniDVD optical disc format as the storage medium for the console,
capable of storing up to 1.5 GB of data. The technology was designed by Matsushita Electric Industrial (now
Panasonic Corporation) which utilized a proprietary encryption scheme – different from the Content Scramble
System (CSS) found in standard DVDs – to prevent unauthorized reproduction. The Famicom Data Recorder,
Famicom Disk System, SNES-CD, and 64DD had explored various complementary storage technologies,
but the GameCube was Nintendo’s first console to move away from cartridge-based media altogether. The
GameCube’s 1.5 GB mini-disc have sufficient room for most games, although a few games require an extra
disc, higher video compression, or removal of content present in versions on other consoles. By comparison,
the PlayStation 2 and Xbox, also sixth-generation consoles, both use 8.5 GB Dual-Layer DVDs.
Nintendo developed stereoscopic 3D technology for the GameCube, and one launch title, Luigi’s Mansion,
supports it. However, the feature was never enabled outside of development. 3D televisions were not wide-
spread at the time, and it was deemed that compatible displays and crystals for the add-on accessories would
be too cost-prohibitive for the consumer. Another unofficial feature are two audio Easter eggs that can be
invoked during the console’s startup routine. When the power is activated with the “Z” button on the Player 1
controller held down, a more whimsical startup sound is heard in place of the standard one. With four control-
lers connected, holding down the “Z” button on all four simultaneously produces a “ninja-like” tune at startup.

Reception
The Nintendo GameCube received generally positive reviews following its launch. PC Magazine praised the
overall hardware design and quality of game titles available at launch. CNET gave an average review rating,
noting that while the console lacks a few features offered by its competition, it is relatively inexpensive, has
a great controller design, and launched a decent lineup of games. In later reviews, criticism mounted against
the console often centering on its overall look and feel, describing it as “toy-ish.” In the midst of poor sales
figures and the associated financial harm to Nintendo, a Time International article called the GameCube an
“unmitigated disaster.”
With the GameCube, Nintendo failed to reclaim the market share lost by its predecessor, the Nintendo 64.
Throughout the lifespan of its console generation, GameCube hardware sales remained far behind its direct
competitor the PlayStation 2, and slightly behind Microsoft’s Xbox.

A. NTSC Cover-Art
This represent the cover art. I used GameFAQs for much of the pictures. The cover is NTSC

(Japaense).
B. Info
This is the Info box. I used mainly wikipedia for help for information on the Developers and
Publishers. I suspect some of the information is wrong, as often the developer credited is
actually the makers of the original game, e.g. arcades, and not the one who did the home con-
sole port for example. Also, information often differ from different sources. “Mode” are what
the maximum players the game support. I used the information that is found on the box of
the game. In the info or trivia section, I wanted some content that would reflect on what the
game is about. I mainly used wikipedia. If I used another site for information and did a direct
transcript, I would try to credit the source material. The credit is in italic.
C. Title Screen

D. Screen-shot

E. Web Reviews
The review score SHOULD and MUST be taken with a grain of salt. I used the review score
from “GameFAQs.com”, cause` they could often be seen as fair, as they usually are reviews by
several users. Though, some of the more obscure games often had few reviews, and could be
seen as biased. If the site did not have a review, i would not include one, as seen on the many
unlicensed games.
F. Rarity
I could not find a rariy info list I found credible, as such, I used rarityguide.com. I do not find
their scores to be valid, as they mostly set their scores on ebay sale prices and such. Also,
their scores only reflect the NTSC releases. You should just see their scores as a price level
score. The score should be used as a refrence point, and not to be taken all too literally.
G. Release
These colored circles show what release the game got. J - Japan, N - NTSC and P - PAL

GameCube Software library

Over its lifespan, which came to a close in 2007, more than 600 games were re-
leased for the GameCube.
Nintendo is traditionally recognized for releasing innovative, first-party game titles,
most notably from the Super Mario and The Legend of Zelda series. These first-
party series continued on the GameCube and bolstered the console’s popularity. As
a publisher, Nintendo also focused on creating new franchises, such as Pikmin and
Animal Crossing, and renewing some that skipped the N64 platform, most notably
the Metroid series with the release of Metroid Prime. The console also saw success
with the critically acclaimed The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and Super
Mario Sunshine, and its best-selling game, Super Smash Bros. Melee, which sold 7
million copies worldwide. Despite Nintendo’s commitment to its software library,
however, it was still criticized by some for not featuring enough game titles during
the console’s launch window.
Early on in its history, Nintendo had achieved considerable success with third-party
developer support on the NES and SNES. Competition from the Sega Genesis and
Sony’s PlayStation in the 1990s changed the market’s landscape, however, and re-
duced Nintendo’s ability to obtain exclusive, third-party support on the N64. The
console’s cartridge-based media was also increasing the cost to manufacture soft-
ware, as opposed to the cheaper, higher-capacity optical discs used by the PlaySta-
tion.
With the GameCube, Nintendo aimed to reverse the trend as evidenced by the
number of third-party titles available at launch – the N64 had none. The new opti-
cal disc format introduced with the GameCube increased the capacity significantly
and reduced production costs. For the most part, the strategy worked. High-profile
exclusives such as Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader from Factor 5,
Resident Evil 4 from Capcom, and Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes from Kon-
ami were very successful. Sega, which focused on third-party development follow-
ing the demise of its Dreamcast console, offered a vast amount of support for the
GameCube porting old favorites over such as Crazy Taxi and Sonic Adventure 2.

Panasonic Q
The Panasonic Q (sometimes known as Q and
GameQ) is a hybrid version of the GameCube with
a DVD player manufactured by Panasonic in coop-
eration with Nintendo. The system was officially re-
leased only in Japan. A feature of its main competi-
tors Xbox and PlayStation 2, the GameCube lacked
commercial DVD movie playback functionality due
to the use of the Nintendo optical disc format for
games and the correspondingly small disc tray.
Nintendo’s uncharacteristic decision to license the gaming technology to Panasonic was a result of a deal bro-
kered between Matsushita (owners of the Panasonic brand) and Nintendo. When Nintendo signed Matsushita
as the producer of the optical disc drives used by GameCube, an agreement was struck allowing Matsushita to
produce a DVD system with the capability to play GameCube games.
Panasonic and Nintendo announced they were ceasing production of the Q in December 18, 2003 due to low
sales.
Other features of the Q include a backlit LCD, a front-loading slot disc tray, an optical sound output supporting
Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS, a separate subwoofer jack, and a stainless steel chassis.
The Q comes with a grey, Panasonic-branded controller and a remote control. The Q is capable
of installing all of the GameCube hardware upgrades; however, due to the legs on the bottom, it
requires a special Panasonic Q Game Boy Player unit designed specifically for it.

Nintendo 64 controller
Manufacturer Nintendo
Type Video game controller
Release date September 14, 2001
Product nr. DOL-003
Nintendo learned from its experiences – both positive and negative – with
the Nintendo 64’s three-handled controller design and went with a two-han-
dled, “handlebar” design for the GameCube. The shape was made popu-
lar by Sony’s PlayStation controller and its follow-up DualShock series of
gamepads. In addition to vibration feedback, the DualShock series was well
known for having two analog sticks to improve the 3D experience in games.
Nintendo and Microsoft designed similar features in the controllers for their
sixth-generation consoles, but instead of having the analog sticks parallel
to each other, they chose to stagger them by swapping the positions of the
d-pad and left analog stick. The GameCube controller features a total of
eight buttons, two analog sticks, a d-pad, and an internal rumble motor. The
primary analog stick is on the left with the d-pad located below and closer to the center. On the right are four
buttons: a large, green “A” button in the center, a smaller red “B” button to the left, an “X” button to the right,
and a “Y” button at the top. Below and to the inside is a yellow “C” analog stick, which often serves a variety
of in-game functions, such as controlling the camera angle. The Start/Pause button is located in the middle,
and the rumble motor is encased within the center of the controller.
On the top of the controller are two “pressure-sensitive” trigger buttons. Each essentially provides two func-
tions: one analog and one digital. As the trigger is depressed, it emits an analog signal which increases the
more it is pressed in. Once fully depressed, the trigger “clicks” registering a digital signal that can be used for
a separate function within a game. There is also a purple, digital button on the right side marked “Z”.
Unique to the GameCube is the controller’s prominent size and placement of the A button. Having been the
primary action button in past Nintendo controller designs, it was given a larger size and more centralized
placement for the GameCube. The rubberized analog stick in combination with the controller’s overall button
orientation was intended to reduce the dreaded “Nintendo thumb” – a term used to describe pain in any part of
the hands, wrists, forearms, and shoulders as a result of long-term play.
Due to the Wii’s ability to use GameCube controller input, all official GameCube controllers may be used on
the Wii. GameCube software played on the Wii requires the use of a GameCube controller (and, for games
with save data, a memory card), and cannot be played with standard Wii controllers. Wii software can be
programmed to make full use of GameCube controllers. Nearly all Virtual Console games and certain Wii
and WiiWare games have been designed to support GameCube controllers as input. However, some later Wii
models, such as the Wii Family Edition and Wii Mini, lack support for GameCube software, controllers, and
memory cards.

used to control the on-screen game selection interface.

Re-release
Official controllers are becoming scarce at retailers, as a result of increased de-
mand of the controller due to the Wii’s backward compatibility with GameCube
games and the fact that several Wii games support the controller as a primary
method of control. In response to the regained popularity, Nintendo decided to
Smash Bros. Edition Black
re-launch the Gamecube controller.
In April 2008, Nintendo released a white GameCube controller, exclusive to Ja-
pan. The controller has not been released outside of Japan, but online retailers
such as Amazon.com and Play-Asia do import and sell the controller internation-
ally. It differs from previous editions in that it features a white cable which is 3
m long, rather than the 2 m black cable used on standard controllers. In 2014, the
manufacturing production of the white controller was resumed under the Super
Smash Bros. Edition White
Smash Bros. branding, again exclusively for Japan.
The Super Smash Bros. edition controller was released in 2014, in conjunction with the release of Super
Smash Bros. for Wii U. The controller features a metallic silver Super Smash Bros. logo surrounded by flames
instead of the Nintendo GameCube logo. It comes in standard black worldwide, although a white version was
released in Japan only. Along with the release of the controller, Nintendo released a GameCube controller
adapter for the Wii U. The adapter supports has connections for four GameCube controllers, and all original
pads are supported. A second adapter can be hooked up to a console, allowing up to eight players to use a
GameCube controller. but so far, the adapter is only compatible with Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

SuperPad Pro
Manufacturer InterAct
The SuperPad Pro is a well liked thrid-party GameCube controller. The but-
tons feel good and are set well, the analog sticks are second only to Nin-

is the D-pad.
If users are looking to save a couple bucks on the next controller the SPP de-
serves a serious look.

Spider-pad
Manufacturer Naki
Naki did well with the buttons, triggers, and analog sticks. The overall shape and
design, while not very creative, is solid and basically comfortable. This pad also
has the distinction of having triggers that feel closest to Nintendo’s. The biggest
problem is the D-pad, which feels mushy and unresponsive. As for extras, Naki
saw fit to install a turbo feature.

Firestorm Powershock
Manufacturer Thrustmaster
Thrustmaster enjoys a well-deserved reputation as a peripheral maker, but they
dropped the proverbial ball with this one. On the positive side it has nice but-
tons and an overall decent design. The shoulder buttons are also acceptable.
However, the Powershock has too much going against it. The analog sticks are a
little light in resistance and simply feel cheap. The Z trigger takes far too much
effort to depress it. And the D-pad is a typical third-party D-pad - not a good
thing. The addition of a turbo feature is considerate, but it’s not enough to save
the Powershock.
“tay.kinja.com”

Cubicon
Manufacturer Mad Catz
The Cubicon is not a terrible pad overall, but simply not good enough in any one
respect. The Analog sticks are loose, the action buttons feel cheap, and the ribbed
design is uncomfortable. The Cubicon’s strongest asset is the D-pad, but only be-
cause it’s a lot larger than Nintendo’s. Unfortunately, the D-pad still feels crappy
and slow.

Bandit
Manufacturer Gamester
The strong point of the Bandit is its main analog stick, which feels somewhat
like the original. However, apart from this its one long fall down the stairs. The
D-pad achieves a new low in an area already problematic for third parties. The
main buttons are unnecessarily enlarged and feel cheap and unresponsive. In
fact, the whole controller feels poorly made and empty.

The Hori Game Boy Player Controller is a controller designed to play with the
Game Boy Player. It comes in the colors Indigo and Jet Black. The controller

Game Boy Player

Manufacturer Nintendo
Release date March 21, 2003
Product nr. DOL-017
The Game Boy Player is a device which enables Game Boy, Game Boy Color,
or Game Boy Advance cartridges (although Super Game Boy enhancements
are ignored) to be played on a television. It connects via the high speed parallel
port at the bottom of the GameCube and requires use of a boot disc to access the
hardware. Unlike devices such as Datel’s Advance Game Port, the Game Boy
Player does not use software emulation, but instead uses physical hardware
nearly identical to that of a Game Boy Advance.
The Game Boy Player is available several different colors, like Indigo, Black, Spice, or
Platinum. A special Game Boy Player for the Panasonic Q (SH-GB10-H) was released
because the Q’s legs are oriented differently from the original GameCube’s.
The Game Boy Player allows users to set a timer from one to sixty minutes. Unlike
some Nintendo GameCube accessories, including the Advance Game Port, Game Boy
Player is not compatible with the Wii directly. The Wii lacks the hi-speed port of the
GameCube into which the Game Boy Player fits; in addition, the Game Boy Player
matches the GameCube’s footprint. The Wii has a substantially different footprint, mak-
ing direct compatibility too complicated to be included.

Memory cards
Manufacturer Nintendo
Memory cards for the GameCube were available in three different capacities,
each in a different color: Memory Card 59 (4 Mbit) in grey, 251 (16 Mbit) in
black, and 1019 (64 Mbit) in white. A maximum of 127 files can be stored on a
single card. Each card requires 5 blocks of system data meaning that the actual
size of cards are 64, 256, or 1024 respectively.
Certain games, such as Animal Crossing and Pokémon Colosseum, require very
large save files and were originally bundled with a Memory Card 59 with game
themed stickers.

GameCube-Game Boy Advance cable

Manufacturer Nintendo
Release date December 14, 2001
Product nr. DOL-011
The GameCube – Game Boy Advance link cable is a cable used to connect the
GameCube and the Game Boy Advance. Small games can be downloaded into
the GBA, the GBA may be used as a second screen to supplement gameplay, or
the GBA can be a separate controller. By using this cable and a Game Boy Player
accessory, a Game Boy Advance can be used to control a Game Boy game being
played on the GameCube.

Broadband Adapter and Modem Adapter

Manufacturer Conexant
Release date September 12, 2002
The Nintendo GameCube Broadband Adapter and Modem Adapter are a network
adapter and 56k dial-up modem, respectively, for the GameCube. They were pro-
duced by Conexant and made in the Philippines. The adapters fit flush into “Serial
Port 1” on the underside of the GameCube and add a 8P8C (RJ-45) or 6P4C (RJ-
11) port to the side of the console.
The online gaming service was officially discontinued in April 2007, in order to focus on the Gamecube’s suc-
cessor, the Wii and its online gaming service. Although the service was discontinued, games can still be played
online via private servers. Games with LAN multiplayer support can still be played in LAN mode as well, and
can be played online via tunneling software.
Soon after Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II was released for the GameCube, it was discovered that a PC
could be made to simulate the conditions of the server that the game would connect to. This information start-
ed as a method of tunneling the online service. When simulating this server, unsigned code can be streamed
back to the GameCube, allowing homebrew, or information to be streamed back, allowing one to play copied
games. This was also utilized to allow online gameplay in games for which it is not intended. Early dumps
of GameCube games were created using this technique. From there, methods of running the games off of a
computer through a GameCube were created. Nintendo and Sega responded by releasing the Plus version of
the game.

SD Card adapter
Manufacturer Nintendo
The SD Card Adapter plugs into memory card slot. For use with games exhibit-
ing the SD Card logo, such as Animal Forest e+. This official Nintendo acces-
sory was sold in Japan only. However, there are third party SD card adapters for
American users.

Component video cable

Manufacturer Nintendo
The Component Video Cable provides video quality superior to that of the RF
modulator, composite video cable and s-video cable and is equal in quality to
RGB Scart (at 576i/50 Hz or 480i/60 Hz). It also enables the use of progressive
scan (480p/60 Hz) in supported games which is a feature not possible with other
western released cables (The Japan only D-Terminal cable also had this feature).
The connector plugs into the Digital AV port rather than the Analog AV port
used by other cables and contains a Macronix CMPV-DOL video chip (a digital-
The cable was available for purchase exclusively in Nintendo’s online store, and the cables were eventually
discontinued by Nintendo due to what Nintendo claimed was a lack of consumer interest. Over time, however,
demand for the cables increased dramatically, resulting in the cost of a typical set of used component cables
commonly reaching 250% or more of the original suggested retail price for a new set from Nintendo’s website.

Pedometer and walking pad controller

Manufacturer Pin Change
A pedometer and walking pad controller was bundled with the Japanese pilgrim-
age simulation game Ohenro-San: Hosshin no Dojo.

Action Replay
Manufacturer Datel
Type Cheat device
Action Replay is a cheat device made by Datel, allowing gamers to enter codes
to cheat at games. A FreeLoader is also included with the software. It contains
a boot disc with the codes and startup, and a dongle that connects into memory
card slot B. The dongle has less memory than a normal memory card, and thus
is usually only useful for saving codes, or save files that only take up 1 or 2
memory blocks. The Action Replay save file can be copied onto other memory
cards, as well, allowing for one person to share their codes with someone who
may have an earlier version of Action Replay, or the sharing of custom-made
codes.
Later versions of action replay (after version 1.14) had the ability to manually input codes removed. The ear-
lier, manual code entry versions are highly sought and can demand very high prices as they provide the ability
to do things later models cannot. One such example is the ability to unlock the full F-Zero AX game in F-Zero
GX.

Component video cable

Manufacturer Datel
Type Cheat device
FreeLoader disables the regional lockout in the GameCube, allowing games from any re-
gion (PAL, NTSC, NTSC-J, etc.) to be played on a console from any region. Some Free-
loaders are compatible with the Wii, allowing out of region GameCube games on it (later
blocked by system updates).

Advance Game Port

Manufacturer Datel
The Advance Game Port is Datel’s version of the Game Boy Player. This dongle
connects to memory card slot B and is booted up with the included boot disc.
Some models have code generators for built in cheat devices. The advantage is
that no removal of plates on the bottom, nor tools, are needed to install it. There
are a few problems with the audio and video framerate and it is not 100% com-
patible with GBA games.

Powerboard
Manufacturer Datel
The Powerboard is a USB keyboard by Datel with a GameCube adapter that
could be used with the online Phantasy Star games and to edit/add codes to the
Action Replay. A version of the keyboard without the adapter was also released
for the PlayStation 2.

MAX drive
The MAX Drive consists of a dongle, USB cable, and a PC software disc, which
allows the user to upload game saves from a memory card to a PC to be stored there
or sent over the Internet. However, the device has been noted to being unstable.

Manufacturer Max
The MAX Media Player allows videos and other downloadable media to be
played on a GameCube. Movies and media are transferred to the included 1
GB Micro SD card, that is then inserted into a dongle for the Game Cube and
into memory card slot B. The kit also includes boot disc, SD adapter (for use on
the Wii in GameCube mode), USB micro SD Card adaptor, and a small remote
control for easy management.

PlayStation controller adapters

Various adapter which allow PlayStation and PlayStation 2 controllers to be used on
the GameCube have been produced, including:
• Innovation INNOV3102 Controller Adaptor
• Mayflash Cube Joy Box
• Hais GameCube Smart Joy (HS2125C)

SD Media Launcher
Manufacturer Datel
The SD Media Launcher allows homebrew games to be played on the GameCube
without modifying the console. The dongle connects into the memory card slot and
contains a removable SD card which holds the games. Also has a boot disc for start-
ing the unit up, a 1 GB SD card, and a SD card adapter for uploading games from the
users PC to his/her GameCube. Will also work on Wii systems in GameCube mode
with firmware versions before 3.0.

VGA cable
The VGA Cable is created from a modified component or d-terminal cable. It allows the
GameCube play on a standard computer monitor in 480p.

Hip Screen
Manufacturer Hip Gear
Type LCD screen
The Hip Screen is a controller made by Hip Gear that features a small full color LCD
screen, allowing the user to play games without the use of a TV. Its size was roughly
that of the Game Boy Advance, so games that had very fine text could not be well read
on it.

lets).

Player’s Choice, now known as Nintendo Selects, is a marketing label used by Nintendo
to promote video games on current Nintendo game consoles which have sold well. Play-
er’s Choice titles was sold at a lower price point than other games. The program paral-
lels other budget range software by Sega (“Sega All Stars”), Sony (the “Greatest Hits”
and “Essentials”), and Microsoft (“Platinum Hits” and “Xbox Classics”) to promote
best-selling games on their consoles as well. Typical for marketing labels like Greatest
Hits and Xbox Classics, games with these type of labels often include updates, updating
glitches of the original game, and sometimes extra features.
NTSC “Player’s Choice” games can be identified on the GameCube and Game Boy Ad-
vance by the yellow yellow box on the top of the case.

PAL/misc. GCN LIST
This list is a mishmash of several different region releases, though it mostly consist of European (PAL) re-
leases. The PAL version of a GameCube games can be easily recognised on the cover by the circle shaped
“seal of Nintendo” and the obvious PAL text on the front.
Also included here are is a few Korean releases. These games are
more akin to the Japanese box-art, but can be recognised by the Ko-
rean writing on the box.
The flags represent the region of release. The European flag is a
multi release, which means the game often feature english language
along with several other language settings.
The list may very much be very incomplete.

306 • Checklist Players`s Choice PAL

In North America and Europe, Nintendo introduced the label on May 20, 1996 as “Play-
er’s Choice” both for the SNES and for the Game Boy to distinguish titles that had
sold over one million copies. The Player’s Choice line was introduced for Nintendo
GameCube titles in January 2003. The first titles were Super Smash Bros. Melee, Pik-
min, and Luigi’s Mansion, and they each retailed for $29.99. Later in the year, when 6
new titles were added, Nintendo split the pricing for different sets of GCN games, so
that some titles would enter in or stay at U.S.$29.99 while others would be reduced im-
mediately to U.S.$19.99.
PAL region Player’s Choice games have boxes that are colored silver or platinum with
Player’s Choice markings on the top of a Nintendo GameCube box.

308 • 2 Games in 1
2 Games in 1/Double-Pack
The GameCube released several “Double-Packs” for the system. Most
of the games came in a double case with both games on separate discs
and two separate instruction manuals. The only unique thing about the
package was the sleeve. In some instances, like the Resident Evil Pure
Evil, the game came with a extra paper sleeve around the regular game
cover.
The games bundled with PacMan Vs. is not technically a “Double-
Pack”, as this was the regular release, and PacMan Vs. was just a bo-
nus.
There are bound to be several releases I missed out on here, but these are some of them at least.

316 • Promo/Demo
Promo/Demo,etc.
These pages consist of different types of demos, promos, etc. released
for the GameCube. This list is far from complete, but made with the
help from redump.org.

Something of note is the “Interactive Multi Game Demo Disc”. The

series is a demo and video sampler disc, designed for retail store dis-
plays of the GameCube. The sampler includes a simple menu and of-
ten playable demos of different new releases. The discs also features
videos of different games and information.
Another interesting item of note is the GameCube Service Disc. The Service Disc was once used by Nintendo
World Class Service to test and diagnose problems with the console, memory cards, controllers, and can even
check the currently inserted Game Boy Advance game through the GameCube-Game Boy Advance Cable.
Nintendo 64 controllers can also be detected, suggesting this is from earlier in the console’s development.
As with all Nintendo testing software, the Service Disc contains a plethora of Nintendo-themed content, both
used and unused. Bizarrely, there are also respectable logos from the automotive industry, such as Tamiya
and Goodyear.
There are bound to be several releases I missed out on here, but these are some of them at least.
