The ultimate tribute to Nintendo's purple powerhouse that revolutionized gaming at the turn of the millennium
Initially announced as 'Project Dolphin', the GameCube would represent Nintendo's transition to the world of digital media. The GameCube Anthology is a unique and original book celebrating the machine's memory, offering you an exhaustive journey through one of gaming's most beloved yet underappreciated consoles. Whether you grew up with Super Smash Bros. Melee or discovered the console later, this beautifully crafted hardcover book brings together everything that made the GameCube special.
GAMECUBE HISTORY
The year was 1999. As the new century and millennium dawned, so did a new era of gaming. The graphic quality of console productions was nearing that of the pre-rendered 3D that had astonished us a few years earlier on the PlayStation especially. In the space of a few years, our hopes became reality, brought to life by the new, so-called '128-bit generation' of consoles. Nintendo would have to play the pioneers if they hoped to compete. Up against their old enemy Sega, a new and successful console PlayStation, and the powerful newcomer from the PC industry Microsoft, the Kyoto-based company geared up for a new console war. From the Cube's origins to the end of its life cycle, this anthology covers it all in a richly illustrated account that takes you through Space World announcements, the console launch, Nintendo's back-to-basics approach, their strategy for winning back gamers, and the lasting legacy the GameCube left on the industry.
COMPLETE SOFTWARE LIBRARY
The international GameCube library is made up of 647 games; 80 of which were exclusive to Japan, 98 to the USA and 17 to Europe. The good, the bad and everything in between, all contributed in some way or another to the console's success. Their quality, reputations and impact have been assessed individually. This comprehensive section presents all 647 published games with detailed information including their release date, developer, publisher, genre, and a rating out of five. It's the complete reference guide you need to explore the GameCube's diverse gaming catalog.
HARDWARE
A far cry from the chunky design of the Xbox and the PlayStation 2's radiator-like features, Nintendo's little cube was a genuine technological beast, more than capable of rivaling its competitors. There was a lot going on under the hood. In this part, you'll explore the details and specs of the machine, the different models and packs, the Triforce arcade system, optical disc technology, original packaging designs, the extraordinary controllers that defined the console's identity, and the full range of official accessories that expanded your gaming possibilities.
COLLECTIBLE GAMES AND OBJECTS
The notoriety of GameCube games was such that numerous by-products were produced, some of which are quite rare today. In this section, the author worked tirelessly to showcase all the collectible games as well as the most surprising, memorable and sought-after merchandise; a collector's holy grail. If you're passionate about gaming preservation and rare finds, this section is an invaluable resource.
