Mu gamecube just arrived! But what does this do?
you can hold the gamecube like a brass knuckle and smash a bro
>>730632951I've always used it to wrap my cords around
>>730632951Nintendo themselves said they did it to advertise the console as portable. You could use the handle to easily bring it to a friend's house.It's worth noting that the SNES, N64, and GC all used the same AV cables, so all you'd have to bring with you is the power brick (since your friend obviously owned one of the older consoles).
>>730632951It makes it easier to reach from across the table when you're finished with your cigarette.
>>730632951It's so you can swing it at your mom in self-defense when you're commanded to go to the bathroom
>>730632951used to sit my controller there
>>730632951it Dougs
>>730633432Not funny
>>730633507*funnie
NINTENDO HIRE THIS MAN!
>>730633158There were actually a lot of accessories, both first and third party, that pushed the GC as a portable console. Pic related, car adapters, and even a battery pack that could power the console for two hours.
>>730632951I just googled "can you remove the handle from a gamecube" and the first result was a reddit post using OP's image that was posted a year ago. OP is a redditor nigger.https://www.reddit.com/r/Gamecube/comments/1eni44g/how_do_i_make_sure_that_my_gamecube_handle_doesnt/
>>730632951one time i beat my brother in mario kart and he picked it up by the handle and threw it in the air, i made a diving catch to save it, still works to this day
>>730633714didn't the gamecube have several ports on the bottom that literally never actually did anything?
>>730633791Your brother sounds unstable. Is he trans now? Is he cute?
>>730632951It's so you can pick it up, grab some Natty Ice, and take it to the sleepover with the bros. Is /v/ entirely zoomers now? Does anyone even remember this besides me?
>>730633875he was like 5 when he did that, he's quite successful and well adjusted now and not trans
>>730633721>OP even edited it to make sure it wasn't easily reverse image searchable. very cool
>>730633809There were three ports.Top left was for the Game Boy Adapter. That let you play Game Boy + Advanced games on your TV. You could also use a second adapter to plug your GBA into a controller port to use as a controller. Some games like Wind Waker let you use a GBA's screen for bonus gameplay, like a prototype Wii U.Bottom left was for the internet adapter. Only three games had actual online play (two Phantasy Star games and a 36-player online japan-only roguelike called Homeland). It's worth noting you needed to pay a $10/month subscription per game to play them online. You could also use the adapter for LAN play with other GCs; Double Dash and Kirby's Air Ride supported it.Bottom right was unused because it was a dev port Nintendo used with their SDK, called ProDG. Nowadays you can buy SD card adapters to load isos onto your GC.
>>730633070You can kill niggers with it like a sledgehammer
>>730633947I mean I am well old enough and knew it was a handle but you're still hauling around cords. I don't tihknk I ever carried a gamecube. There was just always one there
>>730632951The GCN was the first Nintendo console with active cooling. The handle forces you to give it enough room to breath. The little "fins" or whatever on the side near the air intakes do the same thing.
>>730634172FUCK I miss old Nintendo. Now everything has to be exclusive God forbid you want to play one of your old games you'll need a gayass subscription or will have to pirate it
Its for hitting your older brother in the head because he wont let you have a turn >t. broke the gamecube award
>>730634246>I am well old enoughhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zvTRQr7ns8Not old enough. But yeah, like for real, it's just a handle.
>>730632951It's to rev the disc motor, let er rip.
>>730632951Protects the AV cable and power cable from being pushed up into the wall and getting bent.
>>730632951It makes it superior to the sTeAm MaChInE
>>730634039You didn't answer my last question
>>730634350free on pc mmkay?
>>730634172Some fun facts about Phantasy Star, it came bundled with pic related to make chatting with friends easier.It's also worth noting that the subscription fee was only for the Japanese GC version of PSO Version 1.The NA version had free netplay, and the Dreamcast version was slated to have a fee but Sega chairman Isao Okawa personally paid out of his own pocket to have every Japanese Dreamcast come bundled with one free year of internet service (actual ISP internet service, not just video game internet), which was not commonplace in Japan when the game came out in the year 2000.The game peaked with only 26k concurrent players.
>>730634392I know it was a handle.. just nobody was using it.
>>730634541i don't feel comfortable thinking about him in that way but he looks fine
>>730634563>The game peaked with only 26k concurrent players.that doesn't sound too bad for when it came out, especially for something that wasn't on PC.
>>730634563>The game peaked with only 26k concurrent players.was that considered a lot for a japan online audience back in it's time? i've no frame of reference here
>>730634392this video is a fuckin' flashback. didn't these same guys also do POWER THIRST? it comes in a ROCKET CAN.
>>730634754I don't think they did POWER THIRST, but they did the original niggerfaggot
>>730634702>>730634739They were hoping for 500k sales domestic and 1mil worldwide, but only managed 300k worldwide sales. The game was considered a financial failure, but Sega in general was in a death spiral around this time, so it might have been due to other reasons.Despite that, the game actually won several awards and is considered not only hugely influential for video games (series like Monster Hunter direcly name PSO as an inspiration), but also for singlehandedly helping make home internet a utility in Japan. The only other real online games in Japan at the time with any meaningful playerbase were Everquest, Ultima, and Diablo, so this was the first domestic MMO.It even won Game of the Year for 2000, although it was only awarded it three days after chairman Okawa passed away.It's worth noting that the game also had a single player mode, which was widely considered dogshit in the same reviews that acclaimed the game's online to be revolutionary and addicting. By today's standards, 26k concurrent players would put PSO just outside the Top 50 games on Steam.
>>730635117>It even won Game of the Year for 2000, although it was only awarded it three days after chairman Okawa passed away.RIPShame I never had any Sega consoles at the time, DC had some good games
>>730632951don't worry, that's obsoleteit was for carrying your cube to a friend's house and playing multiplayer while sitting on the same couchcrazy uncshit, i know
>>730635529>>730635529my friend stashed weed in the 64 expansion port. it was retarded.
>>730635529fake and gaynone of this is possible in a reality based in euclidean geometry, and last i checked, bub?yeah we live in a euclidean universe.
>>730635618but how did you play donkey kong if the weed was in the expansion port?
>>730635620>yeah we live in a euclidean universe.
>>730635529classic
>>730635675we only ever played smash, mario kart, goldeneye, and party when we wanted to get violent
>>730635620>being in a third dimensional shitholeThey really should firewall the poorer realities.
>>730635529I remember watching videos like these when I was 8 and fully believing them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzgDffMcsUU
>>730633158I always found this bullshit. No one was just carrying the gamecube by the handle and YOLOing it places. You always brought the cables. You always brought games. You always brought controllers. You put it in a backpack, or some kind of box.
>>730632951use it to club people with.
>>730633659kino engineeringthey don't make consoles like this anymore...
>>730635920It's the explanation they gave. The handle doesn't do anything otherwise. Everyone I know who had a gamecube had some kind of third party carrying case for it.
>>730636034I mean, every nintendo console is generally different from the last. Nintendo still makes their own official carrying cases for their consoles. The switch 2 has one.
>>730635871>he trooned outthats heartbreaking.
>>730636143Yeah, but they don't make consoles with built-in carrying handles that also work as part of a carrying case. There's no soul.
>>730636185>last video 9 years ago>all of his social media is inactiveI think he might have done more than just troon out
>>730636597natural order of things.or he could have taken his fortune and fucked off to wherever its legal to have sex with 5 year olds.
>>730633614basedhttps://youtu.be/6zi6CXdiJ6U
>>730636721Nevermind, I just realized this troon was actually the creator of Annoying Orange, and those people are apparently still making new videos. I guess the tranny just dropped everything else.
>>730636904>hose people are apparently still making new videos.so what you are saying is the AVGN x AO crossover is still on the table
>>730636973when was the last time james rolfe has even done a crossover? he seems checked the hell out.
>>730636185a fitting punishment
>>730632951a handful of times a year i would bring my game cube on camping trips, i'd carry it this way
>>730638353did you plug it into a tree and use pinecones for controllers?
>>730638424we had 2 trailers with electricity
>>730638534you didn't go camping
>>730638534you didn't beat the forest level
>>730634206Yikes. Imagine being racist in the big 26
