Nintendo GameCube is the only new home video-game system dedicated solely to enhancing gameplay. Compact and stylish, the Nintendo GameCube allows developers to get great results far more quickly than with any other format. Whats more, the specially optimized 485-Megahertz processor and other cutting-edge design features guarantee that the Nintendo GameCube can easily adapt to future technology.


Awesome gaming from a quirky little cube!

Nintendo GameCube games will come on slim (3 inch) proprietary optical disks that can store about 1.5 gigabytes. Nintendo GameCube will interact with Game Boy Advance, too. Players will even be able to use their Game Boy Advances as Nintendo GameCube controllers!

The Nintendo GameCube measures a scant 4.3 inches high by 5.9 inches wide by 6.3 inches deep, making it easy for players to move the system. Four Controller ports ensure plenty of multiplayer fun.

The Nintendo GameCube Controller has been refined to deliver subtler, more intuitive play control. New features include a "C" stick, left and right analog shoulder buttons and a built-in rumble motor. The Controller also has dual grips, one for each hand, and a configurable A Button home position on the right hand.


Optional peripherals:
56Kbps, V.90 modem

Digital Memory Card with 4 megabits of flash memory

Wavebird Controller and Receiver

SD-Memory Card Adapter, compatible with the 64 megabyte SD Memory

Card proposed by Matsushita Electric Industrial Co.

Broadband Adapter for linking to broadband networks

Digital Video Cable, supports the uniform standard D Terminal compatible with advanced digital broadcasting environments.

Nintendo DS Lite will come with all the unique features of the original DS, but its weight and size have been trimmed down. While the original DS weighed in at 275 grams, DS Lite is 218 grams.

The handheld's size has been improved overall, as its width has been reduced from 148.7mm to 133mm, and its height has been reduced from 84.7mm to 73.9mm. Its thickness has also been reduced by nearly a third, from 28.9mm to 21.5mm (when folded).

Capability-wise, the DS Lite has all the functions that were present on the original DS, including the dual screens, touch panel, microphone input, and Wi-Fi connection. As a new hardware feature, the DS Lite will come with four adjustable levels of screen brightness. Nintendo said it decided to name the new model DS Lite because of its light weight, and also for its screen brightness. One feature that has yet to be clarified is whether the unit will be backward compatible with Game Boy Advance games.

Live images of its DS Lite (pictured), which reveals that the handheld has undergone a minor face-lift. While the original DS had its microphone and battery power indicator on the bottom, it's been relocated to the middle hinge between the two screens. The layout of the main four buttons is the same as on the original DS, but the start and select buttons have been placed on the bottom, and their sizes have been reduced.

The image released by Nintendo shows the DS Lite having a white body, versus the metallic silver color of the original DS. Nintendo hasn't said whether this will be the default color of the machine. But there are at least 2 other confirmed colours to be launched in March

The menu features English, Japanese, Spanish, French, German and Italian languages and comes 100% region free for all games. That means you can purchase the machine from us and buy games from anywhere and not have to worry since they will all work!
