| The '''Nintendo GameCube''' ({{ja|ニンテンドーゲームキューブ|Nintendō GēmuKyūbu}}, ''Nintendo GameCube''), also known as '''GCN''' or simply '''GameCube''', is the fourth gaming console released by Nintendo in 2001. ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' is one of its games, and its top-seller.
| |
| The original model of its 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''.

| ==General Information==
| |
| The Nintendo GameCube is unique in that its discs are smaller than any other game disc, utilizing a proprietary variant of the 8 cm MiniDVD. The [[GameCube controller|controller]] features a considerably different layout from the [[Nintendo 64 controller]]. The C-buttons are replaced with a C-Stick which is identical in function, its shoulder buttons are pressure-sensitive, and sports a new binary wing grip design as opposed to the Nintendo 64 controller's ternary wing grip design, along with many other differences. It is the first Nintendo console to introduce online play, although in an extremely limited, decentralized manner. The system sold 21.74 million units worldwide.

| ==In the ''{{uv|Super Smash Bros.}}'' series==
| |
| ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' was released for the system on November 21st, 2001 in Japan, December 3rd, 2001 in North America, May 24th, 2002 in Europe, and May 31st, 2002 in Australia.

| The Nintendo GameCube appears within ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' as a [[trophy]], with its description breaking the fourth wall. It also appears as a platform in {{SSBM|Luigi}}'s [[Target Test]] in ''Melee'' in the center of the stage. In addition, the background of the Trophy Hoard room in ''Melee'' contains a GameCube (with controller) along with several other gaming implements, including a Game & Watch handheld, a GameBoy and a [[Nintendo 64|N64]] containing a copy of the original ''Super Smash Bros.''

This little beauty is sleek, compact and full of cutting-edge technology. Incorporating optical media for the first time, the Nintendo GameCube was truly born to play. Rumor has it that Super Smash Bros. Melee is a software title for this wondrous device.''
