Ikhonkco ye cubic ye Nintendo Iyakhunjulwa nge-nostalgia eyoneleyo ngee-nintenderos ezininzi, bambi bayithatha njengeyona "console" yokugqibela ye Umkhulu N. Yazalwa njengeprojekthi yebhongo yokuma ngusomandla PlayStation 2 kwaye apha endleleni wabalekela okhuphisana naye omtsha, Xbox.
Kule nto ikhethekileyo, siphonononga izinto ezinokubangela zikhokelele GameCube ukuba yi-desktop desktop ye Nintendo Ubuncinci buthengiswe kumjikelo wobomi.
GameCube ibekwe ngaphakathi kwi-CPU yayo IBM, Eyaziwa njengeGekko, kunye neGPU Ati ngokudibeneyo yenziwe ngu Nintendo y ArtX, Ukunika umatshini amandla obuchwephesha awubeke ngaphezulu kwento uNintendo awayenayo okhuphisana nayo: yayanele ukubona imidlalo efana Premier Prime, Iqela elinamandla leQela III o Ukungcola kwabahlali -kukuba izibuko lesahlulo sesine lajongeka lingcono kwityhubhu kunokuba PS2-ukuyiqonda le nto.
Nangona kunjalo, isoyikiso esikhulu ku Nintendo kwakunjalo Microsoft ngokungena kwayo njengomvelisi weconsole, kwicandelo lomdlalo wevidiyo okhula ngokukhawuleza othimbe ingqalelo yabo baseRedmond, kwaye sele siyazi ukuba ibachitha njani Microsoft. Ngelixa iifayile ze Xbox ndiye phambili GameCube ngamandla aluhlaza, ishiya ikhonsoli Nintendo embindini, ngasentla PS2, kodwa nangoku ukude kwinqanaba le Xbox. Oku, nangona kubonakala kusisiyatha, kubaluleke kakhulu: imidlalo emininzi yenziwe ngokusekwe PS2 ukuba lelona qonga lithengisa kakhulu, ngelixa abanye abaninzi bethathe Xbox njengebenmarkmark console ngenxa yokufana kwayo kwi PC, Kwaye enyanisweni, lo matshini ufumene amazibuko ambalwa emidlalo ehambelanayo.
Omnye umba onameva yinkxaso ebonakalayo esetyenziselwa ikhonsoli. Ngelo xesha, Nintendo ivume ngokucacileyo ukuba ifomathi yecartridge ye Nintendo 64 Yonke ibe yimpazamo kwaye iiDVD ezincinci ezenziwe Panasonic for GameCube ngekhe babe ngumqobo kubaphuhlisi. Ewe, okwenzekileyo kukuba umthamo weediski wawungonelanga (i-1,50 GB) kwaye ukhokelele kwimidlalo efike ngaphezulu kweDVD enye kwaye inani elikhulu ledatha kuye kwafuneka licinezelwe, oko ke kuchaphazele umgangatho wazo weaudiyo nevidiyo. Iimpikiswano zisetyenziselwe ukukhusela le fomathi, njengokuthi abantwana abaninzi abancinci bazakusebenzisa ikhonsoli kwaye le size yediski ibilungile kubo, kwaye bekungeyomfuneko ukubhenela ekuhlaleni yonke i-GB yeDVD ukwenza okuhle umdlalo okanye Nintendo kuye kwafuneka zizikhusele kubugqwirha (ezingakhange zikuthintele: nangona zinomtsalane ngakumbi kun PS2 o Xbox, i-backups inokuqhuba kwii-consoles GameCube ilungisiwe, kwaye njengoko sonke sisazi, nge Wii ukubetha kwentliziyo kwabo akuzange kungcangcazele ekukhetheni iDVD njengoko ifomathi kunye namanqanaba obugebenga kule nkqubo ayothusa kakhulu)
Usapho okanye umfanekiso wohlobo lwabantwana nawo ubonakala uyingozi kwikhonsoli (nangona kufanelekile, bekukho imidlalo kuyo yonke iminyaka, ukusuka Ty: Ingwe yaseTasmania de Ukungcola kwabahlali). Kufuneka kuqatshelwe ukuba GameCube Wafika emva kwexesha epatini: eJapan yathengiswa ngoSeptemba 2001, yayiza kwenza okufanayo ngo-Novemba e-US kwaye, de kube ngoMeyi wonyaka olandelayo sasingenakonwabela umatshini eYurophu, kwaye ngelo xesha , Xbox wayesele efikile kuyo yonke imimandla, ngelixa PlayStation 2 Sele isenzile njalo ngo-2000 (nge-Matshi eJapan, ngo-Okthobha e-US kunye no-Novemba eYurophu)
Ukuthengiswa kweconsole, kunye nokusasazwa kwayo - zombini koomatshini nakwimidlalo, ukuba kubi kakhulu eSpain-, ayincedanga nokuba: ngaphandle kwexabiso elinciphileyo GameCube xa kuthelekiswa nokhuphiswano, isiphumo esifunekayo asiphumelelanga, kwaye masikhumbule ukuba ikhonsoli isuke kwi- € 199 yaya kwi- € 99, nini Xbox ifike kwi-480 ye-euro ngokuncitshiswa okulandelayo ukuya kwi-300, kwaye kuthengiswa kuphela i-21 yezigidi GameCube Xa kuthelekiswa nama-24 afunyenwe ngumatshini Microsoft, kwaye kunjalo, kukude kokungaphezulu kwe-155 okuphumeleleyo PS2. Oku kukhokelele kunqongophalo lwenkxaso kwizitudiyo nakwiinkampani ukuya GameCube: bekukho uhlobo oluthile lweenkedama kunye neninzi yemidlalo eye yaphuma PS2 y Xbox Khange bakubone ukukhanya kumatshini Nintendo.
Enye into, nangona abanye beyichaza njenge-anecdotal, yayikukuba ikhonsoli yayihlala ngexesha lotshintsho lwamandla ngokwawo. Nintendo: eyimbali UHiroshi Yamauchi ndinikezele ngobongameli ngoku satoru iwata, abathi abayikhathalelanga kangako Umdlalo weTyhubhu, njengoko wayejolise ngakumbi kwizicwangciso zexesha elizayo zenkampani.
Njengoko sibona, ukukhubazeka kwe GameCube-Kwakusemva kwexesha, bekukho ukusasazwa okungagungqiyo kwemidlalo kunye nemidlalo, iinkampani ezininzi azizange ziyixhase ngokufanelekileyo ikhonsoli, ifomathi yeDVD encinci yayiyimpazamo, umkhethe wabantwana, kunye notshintsho lwangaphakathi lwamandla Nintendo Babetha kakhulu kwikhonsoli eyayizalwe iphakamisa ulindelo oluninzi kwaye apho iimpazamo zangaphambili zazingalindelwanga ukuba ziphindaphindwe: ekugqibeleni, GameCube yajika yaba yintlekele enkulu kune Nintendo 64, njengoko kuthengisiwe izigidi ezingama-21 kuphela xa kuthelekiswa nama-bits angama-33 kwezi-64.
Sele siyazi ukuba nangona impumelelo ingahambi nayo, oko akuthethi ukuba imidlalo esemgangathweni ibingekho: Super Smash bros, Igosa likaZelda: Umoya Waker, Igosa likaZelda: iTwilight Princess, isaga Ukungcola kwabahlali (kunye nelo remake limangalisayo kunye nokukhethekileyo Umhlali Evil 0), UJoe onombono, i-Metal Gear Solid iinyoka ezingamawele, ukuhanjiswa okubini kwe Premier Prime, i Pikmin, I-Baten Kaitos, Ubumnyama obungunaphakade, uMario Kart Double Dash, iGeist, iWario World, iWario Ware, isaga yeqela leMario, iSoul Calibur 2 (kunye ikhonkco njengomlinganiswa okhethekileyo), Indlu kaLuigi, iiNdaba zeSymphonia, uKwindla lokuGqibela lweChrystal yeziKronike, Umfuziselo woMlilo, iiNkwenkwezi zeFox Fox (iseti yokugqibela ye Kudala yekhonsoli yedesktop Nintendo), IPhepha likaMario: Umnyango weMillennial, uMario Smash Ibhola ekhatywayo, F-Zero GX, Idonki Kong Jungle Beat o PN 03 yimizekelo yekhathalogu enkulu GameCube, eminye yale midlalo ide yavuselelwa Wii, kodwa leyo, zihlobo, lelinye ibali.
