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.
Though no games in The Legendary Starfy series were released for the GameCube, it is possible to play the Game Boy Advance games via an add-on called the Game Boy Player (Japanese: ゲームボーイプレーヤー).
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.
Starly holding the silver GameCube in the Nintendo Headquarters Special
A silver Nintendo GameCube appears in Densetsu no Starfy 4's Nintendo HeadquartersSpecial in the Stuff, where Starly (if Starfy 'wears' it) or Starfy (if Starly 'wears' it) jumps out of the top of the building holding the GameCube and falls back into the building again.
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.
Game Boy Player
The Game Boy Player is a peripheral with a Game Boy cartridge slot that attaches to the bottom of the Nintendo GameCube. This peripheral is to be used with a special disc which allows for the player to play Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance games on a television (much like the previously released Super Game Boy and Super Game Boy 2, although these couldn't play Game Boy Advance games and had special borders unique per game). The Game Boy Player can be used to play Densetsu no Starfy, Densetsu no Starfy 2 and Densetsu no Starfy 3.
