The Nintendo GameCube[nb 1] (officially abbreviated as GCN) is Nintendo's fourth home video game console. It is the successor to the Nintendo 64 and predecessor to the Wii. The Nintendo GameCube is the first Nintendo console to use discs as its game type (mini DVDs, 8cm in diameter). In addition, the GameCube also introduced a variety of connectivity options to Nintendo consoles, and was the third Nintendo console, after the Nintendo 64DD, to support online play officially, via the Nintendo GameCube Broadband Adapter and Modem Adapter, although only a few games supported it. It also enabled connectivity to the Game Boy Advance to access exclusive features of certain games or to use the portable system as a controller for the Game Boy Player. Animal Crossing, an expanded version of Doubutsu no Mori, was released on the GameCube in 2001 and was later expanded and re-released in Japan as Doubutsu no Mori e+ in 2003. Additionally, Super Smash Bros. Melee, which features trophies from the Animal Crossing series, was released on the console in 2001 and later became the console's best-selling game.

The console was released on September 14, 2001 in Japan, November 18, 2001 in North America, May 3, 2002 in Europe, and May 17, 2002 in Australia. The GameCube sold 21.74 million units worldwide and held the title of being Nintendo's least successful home console up until the Wii U surpassed it in 2017 with its lifetime sales of 13.56 million units. Nintendo discontinued the Nintendo GameCube in mid-2007. The GameCube's games and controllers are also backwards-compatible with the original model of its successor, the Wii. Later models of the Wii, as well as the Wii U, are incompatible with GameCube software and peripherals, although the Wii U can use GameCube Controllers through the use of a USB adapter which only works with Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.
