The '''{{wp|GameCube|Nintendo GameCube}}''', or simply the '''GameCube''', is a home console system developed by [[Nintendo]] and released in late 2001 as the successor of the [[Nintendo 64]]. The Nintendo GameCube has six ports on its front: four controller ports (like the Nintendo 64) and two memory card ports. It has three buttons on top: Open, Reset, and Power. On the bottom are two serial ports and one high-speed port for add-on expansions. The system uses proprietary 8 cm Game Discs based on the {{wp|MiniDVD}} format that are able to hold up to 1.5 GB (1,459,978,240 bytes), making it the first Nintendo console to use optical discs as the primary storage medium.

During pre-production, the console was codenamed "Project Dolphin," a name alluded to in several early Nintendo GameCube games, such as ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', where its main setting, [[Isle Delfino]], is shaped like a dolphin. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' did not release alongside the Nintendo GameCube at launch, and the Nintendo GameCube is the first Nintendo home console since the [[Family Computer]] that did not have a game from the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]] at launch.
