The GameCube, the fifth home video game console designed by Nintendo, was preceded by the Nintendo 64. It was first released in 2001.
The Wii, released in 2006, was the successor of the GameCube.
Development
In the previous generation, the Nintendo 64 used ROM cartridges which put it at a disadvantage when compared to its CD-ROM-based competitors as cartridges were more expensive to produce than optical media.
For the follow-up to the Nintendo 64, codenamed Dolphin, Nintendo opted to use optical media. Nintendo partnered with Panasonic to produce the GameCube Game Disc, a proprietary format based on MiniDVDs which can contain up to 1.46 GB of data.
