Gamecube - 2001

Launched in the fall of 2001, the GameCube is Nintendo's foray into the 128-bit generation. With a 405 MHz processor and strong lineup of games, GameCube will likely include popular Nintendo titles like Pokemon, Mario and Zelda. Games will come on 3-inch disks on a format incompatible with standard CD and DVD drives, partly to reduce piracy. For that reason, it's not expected to include DVD playback as an option. Other features include wireless game pads and a modem for Internet play.
