Nintendo GameCube Connection Instructions

The Nintendo GameCube, released in 2001, was the first Nintendo console to use game discs, rather than cartridges. The GameCube console is small, lightweight and portable but packs powerful graphics that rival the Xbox and PlayStation consoles of its generation. The GameCube was supplanted by the Nintendo Wii in 2006, which can play GameCube games and use GameCube controllers and memory cards. Still, it's easier to play and save GameCube games on the original console, and it takes just a few minutes to connect a GameCube to your television.
