The GameCube is a significant upgrade over it predecessor, the [[Nintendo 64]], in terms of CPU and GPU capabilities. The GameCube abandoned cartridge based media in favor of discs, utilizing a proprietary variant of the 8 cm MiniDVD. The four controller ports return from its predecessor, which are also compatible with link cables that allows games to be played with a Game Boy Advance. The GameCube is the first Nintendo console to properly support online play, although in an extremely limited fashion, using a special add-on and only being used by a few select games. The system sold 21.74 million units worldwide, selling significantly less its main competition of the Sony {{iw|wikipedia|PlayStation 2}} and slightly less than [[Microsoft]]'s {{iw|wikipedia|Xbox|console}} console, only outselling former rival [[Sega]]'s {{iw|wikipedia|Dreamcast}}. This continued decline in sales is due its native inability to be a CD-ROM and DVD player, something the PS2 possessed and marketed as an all in one media machine. A DVD compatible GameCube titled the ''Panasonic Q'' did release in 2003, but only in Japan. Publishers already burned by the Nintendo 64 were also not willing to learn the proprietary software, again creating a small game library. | The GameCube is a significant upgrade over it predecessor, the [[Nintendo 64]], in terms of CPU and GPU capabilities.

The | The GameCube’s successor, the [[Wii]], is backward compatible with the Nintendo GameCube, capable of playing all of its games and accepting its controllers and Memory Cards. Various Wii games have allowed use of a [[GameCube controller]] as a way to have a more traditional way to play, including ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. The control scheme in ''Brawl'' works much like it did in ''Melee''. However, later released Wii models removed the backwards compatibility. | ||
