These discs held up to 1.4GB of data (compared to the 4.7GB - or 8.5GB for dual-layered - on standard DVDs).
BROTHER BEAR AND BROTHER BEAR 2 DVD MOVIE
But unlike its competitors (who were embracing the then-new DVD standard, which also enabled movie playback), Nintendo adopted a proprietary version of the MiniDVD, which they dubbed GameCube Game Disc. Perhaps the boldest technical decision Nintendo made was to finally shift from a cartridge-based media format to an optical-disc media. And while third-party support was generally meagre, the GameCube played host to some truly remarkable third-party games that continue to influence today’s game industry. Nintendo pushed boundaries on the GameCube, expressing particular willingness to experiment with their own franchises in ways that even die-hard fans occasionally found controversial. It was the last Nintendo console to directly compete in the console horsepower arms race (subsequent machines eschewed cutting-edge processing power in favour of innovative controllers and unique form factors).ĭespite the fact that the GameCube was Nintendo’s second-worst selling home console (the Wii U sold just over half as many units as the GameCube), it is fondly remembered for a wide range of truly outstanding games. It was the first Nintendo home console to feature an optical-disc drive (which was notable given the company’s reluctance to adopt CD-ROM on the Nintendo 64). It was a highly consequential product for Nintendo, marking several firsts and lasts. T he Nintendo GameCube is undoubtedly one of the most interesting game consoles ever made.
