Well, almost. Nintendo Central writes: “After a month of on off work, I’ve finished my Handheld Gamecube.. Calling it a Portable Gamecube is an understatement because I’m still tethered to the wall and it is still bulky and heavy… Still At least I don’t have to carry craploads of stuff around with me wherever I go.”

I still think having that handle on the Cube is a rude taunt. You still need to bring along at least one controller, power supply, and video cable.I'd like to see someone develop a nice and non-destructive way to connect those to a Cube for easy toting. Yeah, you could always get a bag, but it would fun if you could actually put the Cube handle to use.Did people on the web back in 2000/2001 speculate on forums for hours about the purpose of the handle or the various underutilized ports on the bottom of the Cube?
OMG!!!Judging by the analog sticks/buttons, that thing is HUGE!It's bigger than even the XBOX!!MAN!! You call that a h/held?
that's a Lap-Held
it would be nice to have a handheld gamecube if it werent to bulky then you could play great games such as super smash bros melee and mario sunshine without having a tvskyler
Awesome!If Nintendo can make an innovative handheld that can produce GC+ graphics with the same or better party support that the DS gets, they will most likely own the next handheld gen too.
… as long as it's not too big. (Anything more than slightly bigger than a DS is too big for me.)
