mecube with a standard dvd player developed by panasonic in a strategic alliance with nintendo to develop the optical drive for the original gamecube hardware 74 its stainless steel case is completely revised with a dvd sized front loading tray a backlit lcd screen with playback controls and a carrying handle like the gamecube 75 announced by panasonic on october 19 2001 it was released exclusively in japan on december 14 at a suggested retail price of 39 800 however low sales resulted in panasonic announcing the discontinuation of the q on december 18 2003 74 76 77 the q supports cds dvds and gamecube discs but there is virtually no integration between the gamecube and dvd player modes 75 76 78 79 software edit the gamecube is nintendo s first home console with a system menu activated by powering on without a valid game disc or by holding down the a button while one is loaded 80 games edit see also list of gamecube games and list of cancelled gamecube games in its lifespan from 2001 to 2007 nintendo licensed over 600 gamecube games 81 82 nintendo bolstered the console s popularity 83 by creating new franchises such as pikmin and animal crossing and renewing some that had skipped the nintendo 64 such as with metroid prime longer standing franchises include the critically acclaimed the legend of zelda the wind waker and super mario sunshine and the gamecube s best selling game super smash bros melee at 7 million copies worldwide other nintendo games are successors to nintendo 64 games such as f zero gx mario golf toadstool tour mario kart double dash mario party 4 5 6 and 7 mario power tennis and paper mario the thousand year door though committed to its software library nintendo was still criticized for not releasing enough launch window games and by the release of luigi s mansion instead of a 3d mario game nintendo had struggled with its family friendly image during the late 1990s and most of the 2000s however during this period it released more video games for a mature audience with mostly successful results 84 85 86 87 while the video game industry was focusing on more mature audiences and online connections nintendo regained older players who had gravitated to the playstation 2 and xbox during the early 2000s 88 89 some games aimed at older audiences were critically and financially successful more than on dreamcast and less than on playstation 2 and xbox 90 such examples include the legend of zelda twilight princess 91 92 super smash bros melee 93 94 resident evil 4 95 96 97 98 metal gear solid the twin snakes 99 100 killer7 101 star wars rogue squadron ii rogue leader 102 final fantasy crystal chronicles 103 104 resident evil 2002 105 metroid prime 106 metroid prime ii echoes 107 soul calibur ii 90 resident evil zero 108 f zero gx 109 star fox adventures 90 and star fox assault 110 one of the most well known gamecube games for mature audiences is eternal darkness sanity s requiem which underperformed financially but garnered critical acclaim and is now regarded as a cult classic 111 112 113 114 third party support edit early in nintendo s history the company had achieved considerable success with third party developer support on the nintendo entertainment system and super nes competition from the sega genesis and sony playstation in the 1990s changed the market s landscape and reduced nintendo s ability to obtain exclusive third party support on the nintendo 64 the nintendo 64 game pak cartridge format increased the cost to manufacture software as opposed to the cheaper higher capacity optical discs on playstation 115 with the gamecube nintendo intended to reverse the trend as evidenced by the number of third party games available at launch the new optical disc format increased game storage capacity significantly and reduced production costs successful exclusives include star wars rogue squadron ii rogue leader from factor 5 resident evil 4 from capcom and metal gear solid the twin snakes from konami sega discontinued its dreamcast console to become a third party developer porting dreamcast games such as crazy taxi and sonic adventure 2 and developing new franchises such as super monkey ball longtime nintendo partner rare which had developed goldeneye 007 perfect dark banjo kazooie conker s bad fur day and the donkey kong country series released star fox adventures for gamecube its final nintendo game before acquisition by microsoft in 2002 several third party developers were contracted to work on new games for nintendo franchises including star fox assault and donkey konga by namco and wario world from treasure 81 third party gamecube support was some of the most extensive of any nintendo console until the wii 116 117 118 119 some third party developers such as midway 120 namco 121 activision 122 konami 123 124 ubisoft 125 thq 126 disney interactive studios 127 humongous entertainment ea 128 129 130 131 132 and ea sports 133 134 continued to release gamecube games into 2007 one of the biggest third party gamecube developers was sega which had left the console hardware market to only develop games after the failure of the dreamcast it partnered with long time rival nintendo and with microsoft and sony to recuperate profits lost from the dreamcast 135 136 137 sega was a successful third party developer since the early 2000s mostly those for younger gamers 138 such as super monkey ball 139 140 141 phantasy star online sonic adventure sonic adventure 2 battle 142 143 144 145 146 and sonic heroes 147 148 149 150 151 152 online gaming edit main article gamecube online functionality gamecube has a broadband adapter and ethernet cable ascii corporation produced a keyboard for phantasy star online nintendo s gamecube did not put heavy focus on online games earlier in the console s life only eight gamecube games support network connectivity five with internet support and three with local area network lan support 153 154 the only internet capable games released in western territories are three role playing games rpgs in sega s phantasy star series phantasy star online episode i ii phantasy star online episode i ii plus and phantasy star online episode iii c a r d revolution 153 the official servers were decommissioned in 2007 but players can still connect to fan maintained private servers 155 156 japan received two additional games with internet capabilities a cooperative rpg homeland and a baseball game with downloadable content jikkyō powerful pro yakyū 10 153 154 lastly three racing games have lan multiplayer modes 1080 avalanche kirby air ride and mario kart double dash these three games can be forced over the internet with third party pc software capable of tunneling the gamecube s network traffic 157 158 to play online players must install an official broadband or modem adapter in their system since the gamecube does not have out of the box network capabilities nintendo never commissioned any servers or internet services to interface with the console but allowed other publishers to do so and made them responsible for managing the online experiences for their games 159 reception edit the gamecube received mixed reviews following its launch pc magazine praised the overall hardware design and quality of games available at launch 160 cnet gave an average review rating noting that while the console lacks a few features offered by its competition it is relatively inexpensive has a great controller design and launched a decent lineup of games 161 in later reviews criticism mounted against the console often centering on its overall look and feel describing it as toy ish 162 163 in the midst of poor sales figures and the associated financial harm to nintendo a time international article called the gamecube an unmitigated disaster 164 retrospectively joystiq compared the gamecube s launch window to its successor the wii noting that the gamecube s lack of games resulted in a subpar launch and the console s limited selection of online games damaged its market share in the long run 165 time international concluded that the system had low sales figures because it lacked technical innovations 166 sales edit in japan between 280 000 and 300 000 gamecube consoles were sold during the first three days of its sale out of an initial shipment of 450 000 units 167 during its launch weekend 100 million worth of gamecube products were sold in north america 168 the console was sold out in several stores faster than initial sales of both of its competitors the xbox and the playstation 2 169 nintendo reported that the most popular launch game is luigi s mansion with more sales at its launch than super mario 64 had 170 other popular games include star wars rogue squadron ii rogue leader and wave race blue storm 168 by early december 2001 600 000 units had been sold in the us 171 in spite of nintendo predicting 50 million gamecube units by 2005 172 nintendo only sold 22 million gamecube units worldwide during its lifespan 8 173 placing it slightly behind the xbox s 24 million 174 though it did manage to outsell the xbox in japan 175 and well behind the playstation 2 s 155 million 176 it did manage to outsell the xbox 360 in japan 177 178 179 180 the gamecube s predecessor the nintendo 64 outperformed it as well selling nearly 33 million units 181 the console was able to outsell the short lived dreamcast however which yielded 9 13 million unit sales 182 in september 2009 ign ranked the gamecube 16th in its list of best gaming consoles of all time placing it behind all three of its sixth generation competitors the playstation 2 3rd the dreamcast 8th and the xbox 11th 162 as of march 31 2003 9 55 million gamecube units had been sold worldwide falling short of nintendo s initial goal of 10 million consoles 183 two ars technica articles from 2006 showed that nintendo had sold 24 million gamecube consoles worldwide while the gamecube was not the best selling nintendo console a dubious honor it would hold until the wii u hit the market in 2012 it is also plausible that the console could have sold more units than what was reported 184 185 many of nintendo s own first party games such as super smash bros melee 186 187 188 pokémon colosseum 189 190 191 and mario kart double dash 192 saw strong sales though this did not typically benefit third party developers or directly drive sales of their games 193 however at the same time these first party titles as well as second party and third party titles were one the several factors why the gamecube was saved from being written off as a flop 190 192 194 195 196 197 many cross platform games such as sports franchises released by electronic arts were sold in numbers far below their playstation 2 and xbox counterparts eventually prompting some developers to scale back or completely cease support for the gamecube exceptions include sega s family friendly sonic adventure 2 and super monkey ball 198 which reportedly yielded more sales on gamecube than most of the company s games on the playstation 2 and xbox 17 199 200 201 in june 2003 acclaim entertainment ceo rod cousens said that the company would no longer support the gamecube and criticized it as a system that don t deliver profits acclaim would later rescind his claims by saying the company would elevate support for the system 202 this decision was made unclear after the company filed for bankruptcy in august 2004 in september 2003 eidos interactive announced to end support for the gamecube as the publisher was losing money from developing for nintendo s console this led to several games in development being canceled for the system 203 eidos s ceo mike mcgravey would say that the gamecube was a declining business however after the company s purchase by the sci entertainment group in 2005 eidos resumed development for the system and released lego star wars the video game 204 and tomb raider legend several third party games originally intended to be gamecube exclusives most notably capcom s viewtiful joe and resident evil 4 were eventually ported to other systems in an attempt to maximize profits following lackluster sales of the original gamecube versions in march 2003 now defunct uk retailer dixons removed all gamecube consoles accessories and games from its stores 205 that same month another uk retailer argos cut the price of the gamecube in their stores to 78 99 which was more than 50 cheaper than nintendo s srp for the console at the time 206 however in october of that year they did eventually re stock their supply of consoles after a price drop was ordered which caused the console sales to outpace the playstation 2 for a week 207 208 with sales sagging and millions of unsold consoles in stock nintendo halted gamecube production for the first nine months of 2003 to reduce surplus units 164 sales rebounded slightly after a price drop to us 99 99 on september 24 2003 209 and the release of the legend of zelda collector s edition bundle a demo disc the gamecube preview disc was also released in a bundle in 2003 210 beginning with this period gamecube sales continued to be steady particularly in japan but the gamecube remained in third place in worldwide sales during the sixth generation era because of weaker sales performance elsewhere though its fortunes would change for the better in america and europe 211 iwata forecasted to investors that the company would sell 50 million gamecube units worldwide by march 2005 but by the end of 2006 it had only sold 21 74 million fewer than half 17 however it had the highest attach rate of any nintendo console at 9 59 and was profitable 212 213 214 even more than xbox with higher sales rates 215 216 market share edit with the gamecube nintendo failed to reclaim the market share lost by its predecessor the nintendo 64 through its generation gamecube hardware sales remained far behind its direct competitor the playstation 2 and slightly behind the xbox though there would be times when the gamecube would upstage its rival consoles 217 218 219 the console s family friendly appeal and lack of support from certain third party developers skewed the gamecube toward a younger market which was a minority of the gaming population during the sixth generation 220 many third party games popular with teenagers or adults such as the blockbuster grand theft auto series and several key first person shooters skipped the gamecube entirely in favor of the playstation 2 and xbox 221 222 however many gaming journalists and analysts from the 2000s noted that nintendo s primary focus on younger audiences and its family friendly image was the biggest advantage and disadvantage at a time when video games were aimed at more mature audiences 223 224 225 226 227 228 229 230 231 nintendo was successful with games aimed at a more mature audience 232 233 234 90 as of june 2003 update the gamecube had a 13
