GAMECUBE

Title: An Orange Sun in the Center of Your Living Room.

Hello, it's the shopkeeper.

This incredibly lovable orange cube. Perhaps it is less a game console and more an "invitation," written by a genius designer and addressed to all the living rooms of the world.

His name is Kenichiro Ashida. He is the legendary designer who created the soul of Nintendo's design. In the early 2000s, while the game industry was in the middle of a "performance war," he was thinking about just one thing: "How can games become more a part of the family and friends' circle?"

The answer he arrived at was this very shape. A compact cube that isn't too assertive, no matter where in the living room it's placed. And this symbolic handle. My father would get excited every time he saw this handle and tell me, "Look, this isn't just a handle. It's the ultimate invitation from Mr. Ashida, imbued with the message, 'Come on, let's take this fun to a friend's house!'"

This philosophy of a "communication tool" resonated perfectly with another genius, Satoru Iwata, who would later become the president of Nintendo. He said, "First, a game must not be disliked by mothers." The souls of these two men crystallized, and this orange "toy box" was born.

Imagine the scene of this console in the center of your living room. Smiles will naturally gather around it. Because this machine was born for that very purpose. You'll have fierce battles in ** Super Smash Bros. Melee **, and your friendships will be tested in ** Mario Kart: Double Dash!! **. This orange sun will turn your room into the happiest playground in the world.

This unit is not just a used item. It is the very embodiment of a warm wish from two geniuses who dreamed of a future where "games and people could become much, much closer friends."
