About
As of 2026, it's 25 years old.
Nintendo's little purple lunchbox came with an actual carrying handle, ran on adorable mini-DVDs, and shipped the most over-engineered controller of its era — that giant green A button was load-bearing.
It lost the sales war but won the hearts: Super Smash Bros. Melee, Metroid Prime, and Wind Waker turned the GameCube into a cult object that still commands shelf space and lan-party loyalty.
Small, square, and stubbornly beloved — the console that proved winning isn't everything.
