Step into the cube—the compact powerhouse that proved great things really do come in small, purple packages. Nintendo’s GameCube was a marvel of design: square, sturdy, and engineered for both fun and function. This boxed system (model DOL-001) runs games from both Japan (NTSC-J) and North America (NTSC-U/C)—a rare hybrid of regions that opened a wider world of play.
