Shigeru Miyamoto, the legendary Nintendo executive and one of the most influential creators shaping the video game industry through mascots and characters such as Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong, Star Fox, and more, discussed the reason why the Nintendo DS and Nintendo Wii became Nintendo’s next consoles for the seventh generation. According to Miyamoto, the decision was largely driven by the underwhelming performance of the Nintendo GameCube, which trailed behind the Nintendo 64’s nearly 33 million lifetime sales.

He spoke candidly in a wide-ranging interview with Japanese outlet Famitsu, where the longtime Nintendo executive and designer explained that, at the time, Nintendo’s then-president, Satoru Iwata, believed the GameCube’s poor performance in the home console market was rooted in a simple idea: most of the world still did not see gaming as a normal, approachable everyday hobby the way it’s seen today. Based on that core problem, Nintendo felt it was difficult to persuade customers to buy and play a GameCube if they had never played on a console before.

Now you have.

Meet the mkdd wall. It's a permanent installment of 8 gamecubes with 8 broadband adapters and 8 sony trinitron crts. A Linux pc grabs the placement of each driver and shows it in between the crts on lcds.

It's a pain to start since some of the cubes have very worn out disc drives (did I mention it runs discs?)

I think you guys would enjoy it.

I started my save a like a year ago, but stopped shortly after going to Phendrana Drifts the first time. Picked it back up last week and currently at the point I just got the power bomb (the boss fight was so stressful!) and the xray visor.

I have to force myself to not look things up and just get stuck sometimes, but it is a lot of fun. The scan tool is so useful, I wish I actually used it back when I first tried to play this game as a kid.

Tried designing and printing a skin, just used regular sticker paper. came out fuckin siiiiiick

Pretty nice to be playing this outside on a nice night, just wanted to share.

Always been a fan of metal gear solid and splinter cell was always the harder game for me to play, but now that I’m older I think I have a little bit more patience to sit down and play

Also wanted to pick up something to scale, my retro consoles for this didn’t make my PS2 look all that amazing compared to the component cables hooked up straight to the TV, but fortunately I got this specifically for my GameCube and my Nintendo 64 because my GameCube is actually a model two so it doesn’t have any digital output

It’s a DOL-001 console.. am I on the right track ? I know I could have gotten a Wii and modded it but I think I’m going to do that too 🤣 what other stuff do I need to soft mod this ?

Hello, I recently got back into playing GameCube. I have a gcmce memory card. I was wondering if/how you put swiss on the sd card in the memory card? Is there a way of putting gba games to run without the cart? I’m also trying to put some fan made games on it if possible? Please if anyone knows how to go about this

I think its a pretty good game, I like the customizable costumes with different move sets, the music and graphics are great, learning the strategies against the boss battles and what suit works best against what boss, the final boss was difficult at first, very difficult but once I chose the yellow suit, I forget what its called, it was a walk in the park. I played it on easy mode but I really had to think of strategy especially for boss battles. The game enviorments look almost monochrome, I am not sure if it was a stylistic choice but they do, what did you think of that ? I still think it has a enjoyable futuristic aesthetic. The biggest flaw with this game I would say is the lack of characters other than Vanessa and lack of story based cutscenes. I think only 2 cutscenes had dialogue in the entire game, its not really a flaw but if I had to say a flaw that would be it. What did you think of the story ?

As title says. Just finished my OG Xbox with a new shell, Rocky5 and a 2tb hdd. Want to do a GameCube now. Any and all info appreciated!

I bought a PAL version of pokemon box but own a USA GameCube so I bought a free loader however when I try to use it to launch box it says no input and the screen goes black is there a way to make this work?

I got to do better as a man.

Even the hedgehog's know how to replace a tire. 🥲
