\"GameCube<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Sony released the PlayStation 2 and Microsoft the Xbox 360, Nintendo only felt like it was time that they released a new gaming system called the Game Cube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An obvious way the Game Cube got its name was from its design, in a small cube-style console, the game cube came with four controller ports  and two memory card slots for keeping saved games onto since it lacks an internal hard drive all together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Nintendo released this gaming system to compete with the PlayStation 2 and the Xbox 360 there were many things that it lacked making it hard to even stay alive with the rise in technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To begin with the Nintendo Game Cube only plays first-party Nintendo Games. This includes the infamous Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong, Pok\u00e9mon, and other Nintendo made games that are mostly family friendly and geared towards children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Game Cube was also Nintendo\u2019s first system that played a disc versus a gaming cartridge. But the discs that Nintendo used were smaller than the typical DVD disc that the PlayStation 2 and Xbox 360 both geared their games towards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They used these smaller discs to avoid piracy of their games. With that being said, they were also unable to play Blu-ray or DVD movies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While other companies were busy engineering gaming systems that were able to be a multi-entertainment device, Nintendo stuck with the idea to only produce a console that is meant for gaming only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the device is slightly different than what you would expect from video game consoles, the controller appears to be similar to the Sony\u2019s and Microsoft\u2019s gaming devices. With two analog sticks, a directional button pad and four action buttons, you are able to fight off any villain in the games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
