The Game cube is nintendos newest console and gets a
uk release in spring 2002. Here r some pictures and
info to get ya drewling over it
Here is my Gamecube Poll
I got the following article from dailyradar that explains
the reason why the GameCube is shaped the way it is:
Nintendo's top designer Shigeru Miyamoto sat down with
several journalists to endure a barrage of questions at the
Spaceworld event in Toyko. Many of the more intriguing ones
he couldn't answer, (such as anything relating to launch
titles for the Gamecube), but he did answer a question about
the Gamecube's design. Click through for a transcript ...
Gamecube
News!
We wanted to put forward the image that this is something
that will be played by the whole family. It is not
audio/visual equipment that is placed somewhere and not
moved. That is the main concept that we wanted to push
forward in making the design of the console.
While Miyamoto's statement is a bit unclear, it appears that
Nintendo envisions the Gamecube as a device that can be
moved around the house with ease whenever someone wants to
play, much like a board game or a deck of cards. The handle
on the console solidifies this image.
We wonder how many people will want to transport their
Gamecube from room to room, but we respect the idea for what
it represents -- a new mindset when it comes to devices that
provide home entertainment for the masses.
. Warning! the virtual striker 3 picture is very big so it
will take a while to load like a lot of the game pictures so
be patient they do look good
A list of all the games i have heard of are here some are
not but will be soon.
The gamecube is very small
Analog stick on the left side for most of the games
movement.
D-Pad which is the 4 directional pad just below and to
the right of the primary analog stick.
Start Button in the middle.
A, B, X, and Y buttons with A in the middle (all are
believed to be analog).
The C (camera) analog stick below and to the left of
the A, B, X, and Y buttons
R and L buttons on the top (both of which are analog).
Z button just above the R button (not sure if analog
or digital).
This shows you how small the gamecube will be
Gamecube Controller next to a N64 Controller
Gamecube Is smaller in height than a GBC
The Gamecube use specially designed discs much more
powerful than the N64 cartridges
The memory Card
The memory Card adaptor will give you more space to
save
The Digicard is a 4 megabit card to store game data.
The SD Digicard Adapter allows you to put a 64
megabyte flash memory card into the adapter to save
huge amounts of data. Remember that there are 8 bits
in a byte.

As you can see, you will be able to hook a number of
GBAs up to the Gamecube. Cool Huh!!!
Regarding this type of hookup, this is what
DailyRadar said that Mayamoto said:
Miyamoto said, "What do you US press people
think? Do you think this would be great for games
like football where each player can choose plays
without the other players seeing? Oh, wait -- I'm
talking in Japanese, so you don't understand me!
Hello!" OK, that's paraphrased somewhat from
memory, but that's the gist of what he said.
The Gamecube will use Two kinds of Modem Broadband Or 56k they go into a slot at
the back of the console broadband will givw u much faster internet connections.
Gamecube Modem and Broadband adapter.
The black is the modem and the white is the broadband adapter.
It uses radio waves instead of infared. I believe this makes it possible for you
to control it from farther distances and also I believe that it make it possible
for you to control it without the Gamecube being in the direct line of sight of
the Wavebird. In other words, you should be able to control the GameCube
something solid (like maybe even a wall) is in between the GameCube and the
Wavebird.
They say you can use the Wavebird up to 30 feet away.
The GameCube will also be able to hook up to your monitor with a digital A/V
cable. Some of the big HDTVs have this input as well, so you'll be able to hook
it up to the big fancy TVs and get an incredible picture.
