To Celebrate the GameCube's 20th birthday, let's take a look at the history of the GameCube, how it came to be, why it didn't succeed as much as other Nintendo consoles, and what it might have led to.


Following the release of the Nintendo 64 in 1996, technology not only continued to innovate and grow more complex, but it did so at a rapid rate. By 1998 Sega had released the first of the 6th Generation of home consoles, that being the Dreamcast. A technical powerhouse blowing the PlayStation, Saturn, and even the Nintendo 64 out of the water, the Dreamcast was hailed as the future of not only 3D Graphics but home console gaming as a whole. Not long after, in March of 1999 Sony unveiled the PlayStation 2, which was by far superior to the Dreamcast in just about every aspect. Finally, by May of 1999 Nintendo would announce they were indeed working on a successor to the Nintendo 64.
