The Nintendo GameCube[nb 1] (officially abbreviated as GCN) is a home video game console created by Nintendo. 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, albeit with discs similar to mini DVDs, as they were 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 was discontinued in mid-2007. The GameCube's games and controllers are also backwards-compatible with the original model of its successor, the Wii. Future Nintendo consoles, such as the Wii U and Nintendo Switch, only have support for the GameCube Controllers through the use of a USB adapter, although the Wii U can only use the GameCube Controllers for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.
