The '''''Triforce''''' is an arcade system board developed jointly by [[wikipedia:Namco|Namco]], [[wikipedia:Sega|Sega]], and [[wikipedia:Nintendo|Nintendo]], with the first games appearing in 2002. The name "Triforce" is a reference to Nintendo's ''The Legend of Zelda'' series of games, and symbolized the three companies' involvement in the project. The system hardware is based on the [[Nintendo GameCube]] with several differences, like provisions for add-ons such as Sega's [[wikipedia:GD-ROM|GD-Rom]] system, NAND memory, and upgradeable RAM modules. As with most arcade systems, each ''Triforce'' game has its own custom peripherals and functions.
