GameCube

The GameCube is Nintendo's fourth home console, designed for the sixth generation of video games. The second game in the MX trilogy is playable on this platform.

Overview
The GameCube is Nintendo's first optical disc-based home console, whose software is played in proprietary small optical discs in an effort to hinder piracy, as well as contribute to its compact form factor. Its signature controller is known to adopt some characteristics unconventional of modern game controllers, such as staggered positions of analog sticks, pressure-sensitive shoulder buttons and a strange 4 face button layout that emphasizes one button over all the others. The GameCube can also connect with its handheld counterpart, the Game Boy Advance, via a special link cable, and also has an adaptor that can allow it to play GBA games on the big screen. While the GameCube's technical incompetence led major developers to skip the platform in favor of the more powerful PlayStation 2 and Xbox, Nintendo and some other developers made efforts to design games that played to the GameCube's strengths, with a number of first-party games becoming cult classics. Ultimately, the GameCube was not a very successful console and was soon discontinued not long after its successor, the Wii, achieved unprecedented revolutionary success with its motion controllers, although the GameCube controller continued to enjoy legacy support on future Nintendo consoles.
