Did You Know Gaming Loads Up More Gamecube Trivia
The Nintendo Gamecube was certainly a strange little machine. Its look, controller, and games were unlike anything else released at the time, which made for both some ridicule and some fond memories. Youtube channel Did You Know Gaming this week dives into several factoids about the console, including a Panasonic-made version if the little square device.
Some interesting facts include the several iterations and philosophies that lead to a controller with a strange button layout, why the official abbreviation is "GCN" instead of "NGC," and some of canceled tech for the console that eventually made its way to the Wii.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
