Nintendo GameCube
Great game development is an art and Nintendo is a master of art. Nintendo has always been the place to find the greatest games and now they'll be better than ever. Compact and stylish, the Nintendo GameCube is a huge technological leap and it's also home to the games that will set the standard for the next generation.
What's more, the specifically optimized 485-Megahertz processor and other cutting-edge design features gurantee that the Nintendo GameCube can easily adapt to future technology.
Nintendo created the GameCube with the purpose of realizing the highest level of performance and to enhance the productivity of software development. This is Nintendo's vision of what a next generation game machine should do.
Instead of going for the highest possible performance, which does not contribute to software development, the idea was to create a developer-friendly next generation TV game machine that maintained above-standard capabilities.
In order to accomplish this, Nintendo has introduced 1T-RAM technology, which has a minimum of delays, into the main memory and the Graphics LSI Mixed Memory. Also, secondary cache memory with a large capacity was implemented in the MPU. With this combination they have succeeded at creating reliable functionality that can be used with actual games.
The Nintendo GameCube will carry on the "DNA" of Nintendo games and give birth to a new kind of entertainment that surpasses existing concepts of what great gaming is!
