Nintendo’s GameCube is one of the oldest video game consoles that found decent popularity during its release. However, PlayStation 2 and Xbox had overshadowed GameCube’s full capability as a diverse console. Nintendo fans, on the other hand, loved the GameCube and its exclusive games.
GameCube was a dull-looking console but had good capabilities hardware-wise. As a result, gamers went on to prefer better-looking devices over GameCube. But, some fans took matters into their own hands and started creating customized GameCube consoles based on popular themes. After all, who wouldn’t like a GameCube with a theme of Legend of the Zelda: Twilight Princess?
