Originally revealed as “Project Dolphin,” Nintendo’s GameCube marked the company’s leap into the digital-media era—and GameCube Anthology captures that story with a richly illustrated deep dive. From the late-1999 console race through the system’s full life cycle, the book traces Nintendo’s bold moves in the “128-bit” generation as it faced pressure from Sega, Sony’s PlayStation dominance, and Microsoft’s arrival. Key moments like the Cube’s origins, Space World, launch, and Nintendo’s “back to basics” strategy are explored to show how the GameCube fought to win back gamers—and what legacy it ultimately left behind.
Beyond history, GameCube Anthology is built as a complete reference for fans and collectors. It catalogs the entire international library of 647 games (including regional exclusives), with detailed entries for each title—release date, developer, publisher, genre, and a five-point rating. It also breaks down the hardware’s design and tech, covering models and packs, the Triforce connection, optical discs, packaging, controllers, and official accessories—then finishes with a showcase of rare collectibles, unusual merchandise, and true collector “holy grail” items.
