| The next evolution of the games console is here! Forget all those arguments about which system is the most powerful. Instead revel in the fact that Gamecube is from Nintendo, still the world's best at creating imaginative arcade, action and adventure games. Titles such as Metroid Prime, Star Wars: Rogue Leader, Starfox Adventures: Dinosaur Planet, and Pikmin demonstrate just what Nintendo's system is really capable of, while games developers around the world are clamouring to develop for the system. Techheads needn't worry about the power of the machine, either. |
| The Gamecube more than holds it own against the rivals, with 485Mhz custom Power PC processor, 40Mb of main memory, a custom CD-style drive, custom graphics chip (developed by ATI), and an internal architecture that ensures graphically detailed scenes don't suffer bottleneck slowdowns as on other systems. If you can think of an advanced visual trick, chances are the Gamecube an handle it, from bump-mapping to real-time shadowing, to ridiculously high polygon counts. | | All of which may sound technical but simply means Gamecube games look as good as they play |
