The '''[[gametech:Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]]''' ('''GCN'''/'''NGC''') is a 32-bit sixth-generation console released by [[wikipedia:Nintendo|Nintendo]] in on November 18, 2001. It has a IBM PowerPC Gekko CPU at 486 MHz with a ATI Flipper GPU. Nintendo, Namco, and Sega later designed the '''[https://segaretro.org/Triforce Triforce]''' arcade board based on the GameCube, releasing titles for it the next year.
Nintendo released the successor, the [[Wii emulators|Wii]], in 2006 where it was revealed to have very similar (albeit more powerful) hardware and compatible interfaces. This meant that the Wii could handle GameCube games natively rather than use emulation. In contrast, when the [[Wii U emulators|Wii U]] was released in 2012 it contained a Wii mode that could use Wii remotes, but didn't have ports for GameCube controllers or supported GameCube games; the controller issue was later resolved with the Super Smash Bros. adapter, but this still didn't allow GameCube titles to be run.
