GameCube
Best controller button ever
The GameCube controller’s A button was really good too, but the Wii’s A button is perfect. Who doesn’t love mashing this thing!?

YouTube Tuesday: Great Songs from the GameCube Era -Updated-
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTdbgaMkOB0[/youtube] I picked seven ten GameCube songs to share with you guys today. Some of these songs are actually on my MP3 player, because they are either composed very well and are quite catchy or just soothing to listen to. There is no particular order to this list, but I want to ask you Infendo, what are some of your favorite songs from video games ...
Review: 20 Years of Nintendo Power is entertaining history abridged
Scott Pelland can write. As a staff writer and later managing editor of Nintendo Power for 20 years (1987-2007), I can’t think of a better historian to tell “the history of Nintendo through the pages of the official magazine,” which is precisely what Pelland did in the special edition of 20 Years of Nintendo Power. After reading it, I’m convinced he’s the grandfather ...

GameCube tech demo does things Wii can’t
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZZWPlzN6S4[/youtube] Countless developers have cited the system’s inherent weaknesses, rather than their own effort, as the catalyst for poor Wii graphics. When footage like this comes along, one can’t help but wonder. Mined by the folks at Unseen 64, this tech demo was used in a May 2001 software development kit for the Nintendo GameCube. It ho...
Japan: Mario Tennis (?!) tops sales list
For all my Nintendo love I seriously did not think these remade GameCube “Play on Wii” games would have much appeal (Pikmin, Mario Tennis). Same price as Wii games?! Minor changes? Dated games? Couldn’t possibly… But against all rhyme or reason it’s worked. In Japan, at least, my critical Play On Wii thoughts would be dead wrong. I guess with the success of the Virtua...
Nintendo Patents – Wiimote was for Gamecube
The people over at Siloconera have been digging up information on patents recently in search of more information on the recent “Miyamoto” patent. However, Instead of finding more information about that patent they actually uncovered an old patent that had to do with the Gamecube that was filed on March 10, 2006. The patent was for what we know today as the Wiimote. Although, it wasn...

From the SNES pad and Guitar Hero III controller, to the Wii Remote and the DualShock, these are the top 10 video game controllers as voted by James Cook of GameFAQs.
