GAMECUBE

We felt bringing you only some pictures was slightly pointless, so we also have full coverage on gamecube!

Below are some interesting screenshots

Here is Gamecubes controller compared to N64s.

Gamecube in its entirety!

(large)A picture of Gamecubes discs(yes, we said discs)

Gamecube Disc compared to N64 cartridge

Gamecube compared to N64

(Wow!)Gamecube compared to Gameboy

Thats all for pictures!!

Technical Stuff

If your in the mood, read on!
