GameCube
The GameCube is a sixth-generation video game console developed by Nintendo. It was first released in Japan on September 14, 2001, and in North America on November 18, 2001. The fourth home console in the Nintendo family and the first to use optical discs, it succeeded the Nintendo 64 and preceded the Wii.
The GameCube controller introduced analog shoulder buttons, which could detect varying levels of pressure before clicking in, and included a built-in rumble motor. This made haptic feedback standard rather than a separate add-on like the Nintendo 64's Rumble Pak. The controller also featured two analog sticks. Nintendo released the WaveBird Wireless Controller in 2002, the first first-party wireless controller for a home console, though it did not include rumble. Online play and LAN connectivity required the separately sold Broadband Adapter or Modem Adapter. Early models included a Digital AV Out port for 480p output, which was removed from later revisions.
