A purple Nintendo GameCube
The Nintendo GameCube (Japanese: ニンテンドーゲームキューブ), shortened as the GameCube and officially abbreviated as the GCN (NGC in Japan) is Nintendo's sixth generation home console, released in 2001 in Japan and North America and 2002 in Europe and Australia. It is the successor to the Nintendo 64 and the predecessor to the Wii.
A special version of the Nintendo GameCube was released by Panasonic called the Panasonic Q, which has the ability to play DVDs and audio CDs as well as GameCube games. This version of the GameCube was only released in Japan but was discontinued in December 2003.
Additionally, a purple Nintendo GameCube with two controllers appears on the minigames menu, where it is connected to a television. Only two GameCube controllers and a television can be seen, unless the player switches between the minigames.
A console resembling the Nintendo GameCube appeared in chapter seven of the Densetsu no Starfy R manga — "Pufftop Kingdom, Game King Playoff", where it was known as the Gamefyūbe (Japanese: ゲームフューブ). After Starfy said that the "FS" is useful because it can be carried around and played anywhere, Starly picked up the Gamefyūbe and said that the Gamefyūbe is able to be carried around too.
