The is a home video game console developed and marketed by Nintendo. It was released in Japan on September 14, 2001, in North America on November 18, 2001, and in Europe on May 3, 2002. It is Nintendo's fourth major home console, succeeding the Nintendo 64, and competed with Sony's PlayStation 2, Sega’s Dreamcast, and Microsoft's Xbox in the sixth generation of game consoles.
Nintendo began developing the GameCube in 1998 after entering a partnership with ArtX to design a graphics processing unit. It was the first Nintendo console to use optical discs instead of ROM cartridges, supplemented by writable memory cards for saved games. Unlike its competitors, the GameCube was solely focused on games; most models cannot play DVDs or CDs. The GameCube controller uses a handlebar design with a staggered analog stick layout. GameCube accessories include a link cable that enables connectivity with the Game Boy Advance (GBA) and e-Reader, the Game Boy Player add-on for running Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and GBA games, and the WaveBird Wireless Controller. Select games supported online gaming via a broadband or modem adapter.
