The '''Nintendo GameCube''' (ニンテンドーゲームキューブ, Nintendō Gēmukyūbu), officially abbreviated as '''GCN''' and unofficially as '''NGC''', is [[wikipedia:Nintendo|Nintendo]]'s fifth home [[wikipedia:Video Game Console|video game console]] and is part of the [[wikipedia:History of video game consoles (sixth generation)|sixth generation console era]]. It is the successor to the [[Nintendo 64]] and predecessor to the [[Wii]].
The '''''Nintendo GameCube''''' ('''''ニンテンドーゲームキューブ''''', '''''Nintendō Gēmukyūbu'''''), officially abbreviated as '''GCN''' in the US and EU and as '''NGC''' in Japan, is [[wikipedia:Nintendo|Nintendo]]'s fifth home [[wikipedia:Video Game Console|video game console]] and is part of the [[wikipedia:History of video game consoles (sixth generation)|sixth generation console era]]. It is the successor to the [[Nintendo 64]] and predecessor to the [[Wii]].


The Nintendo GameCube is the first Nintendo console to use [[wikipedia:Optical Disc|optical discs]] as its primary storage medium, after [[wikipedia:Family Computer Disk System|several]] [[wikipedia:PlayStation (console)#Development|aborted]] [[wikipedia:N64DD|projects]] from Nintendo and its partners to utilize optical-based storage media. In contrast with the GameCube's contemporary competitors, [[wikipedia:Sony|Sony]]'s [[wikipedia:PlayStation 2|Playstation 2]], [[wikipedia:Sega|Sega]]'s [[wikipedia:Dreamcast|Dreamcast]] and [[wikipedia:Microsoft|Microsoft]]'s [[wikipedia:Xbox|Xbox]], the GameCube uses [[wikipedia:miniDVD|miniDVD]]-based discs instead of full-size [[wikipedia:DVD|DVD]]s. Partially as a result of this, it does not have the [[wikipedia:DVD-Video|DVD-Video]] playback functionality of these systems, nor the [[wikipedia:Compact Disc|audio CD]] playback ability of other consoles that use full-size optical discs.

In addition, the GameCube also introduced a variety of connectivity options to Nintendo consoles, and was the fourth Nintendo console, after the [[wikipedia:Nintendo 64DD|Nintendo 64DD]], [[wikipedia:Famicom Modem|Famicom Modem]] and the [[wikipedia:Super Nintendo|SNES]]'s [[wikipedia:Satellaview|Satellaview]], to support online play officially, via the [[Broadband Adapter]] and Modem Adapter (sold seperately). It also enabled connectivity to the [[wikipedia:Game Boy Advance|Game Boy Advance]] to access exclusive features of certain games or to use the portable system as a controller for the [[Game Boy Player]].
