A New Gamecube Mini Could Be In Development

The Gamecube Mini could be the next thing. Nintendo has filed a new trademark for the original Gamecube and claims that it’s not for merchandising reasons but only for video gaming purposes.

Why skip the N64 Mini though?

Ayrin2795d ago

Without Rare you'd be missing:
Goldeneye
Banjo-Kazooie
Banjo-Tooie
Conker's Bad Fur Day
Jet Force Gemini
Perfect Dark

and maybe
Diddy Kong Racing
Donkey Kong 64
But Nintendo probably is safe owning those. But if they cant get a hold of Rare's game licenses again then it would look bleak for a N64 mini. It'd still have some good games on it, but not what people will remember the system for being, other than Mario based games. Though if they can remake the feel of the controller without people having to look for hardware from 1996 and 3rd party replacement parts that'd be great

There are other games they can put on the N64 mini that aren't part of Rare's catalog, though Rare definitely put some of the best N64 games out there.

If there was no Rare, here would be my list of 20 N64 games:
Ocarina of Time
Blast Corps
Ogre Battle 64
Majoras Mask
Super Mario 64
Star Wars: Rogue Squadron
Mario Kart 64
F-Zero X
Kirby: The Crystal Shards
Super Smash Bros.
Turok
Star Fox 64
Pokemon Snap/Pokemon Stadium
Paper Mario
Yoshi's Story
Mario Party (1, 2, or 3...preferably 2)
Mario Golf/Mario Tennis
1080 Snowboarding
Wave Race
Space Station Silicon Valley

Meh. Like September said, there’d be a multitude of games they could use, plus Nintendo was able to work things out regarding DK64, since they were able to get it into Wii U VC, and DKR, all they really had to do to get it on DS was remove Conker and Banjo.

RosweeSon2794d ago

It would look odd but Nintendo and others have more than enough games to fill a mini 64
Mario 64 Mario Kart 64 Pilotwings all essential Ocarina of time maybe even Majoras Smash Bros, F Zero X Lylat wars 64 basically the list september indecember has posted except as much i would love blast corps it’s Rare as I just finished it on Xbox 1 Rare reply collection few months ago ;) beetle adventure racing would be good tho

Why? Having a Gamecube and N64 mini would be amazing.

chris2352795d ago

if i wanted to play these kind of games i‘s get a switch. but actually i‘m glad the gamecube era is over. no need to re-get this.

XxINFERNUSxX2795d ago

They should just remaster some games from the GameCube and bring them to the Switch. I would love a Super Mario Sunshine remaster :D

At first I was like, No Code Veronica on the list!? But then I seen Mainline. The list checks out, but I would personally put 2 over 4.

KwietStorm_BLM23h ago

I'll take 2 over 4 also. And even without a number, I don't see how Code Veronica, my other favorite in the franchise, isn't mainline when it's the actual sequel to RE2.

Rebel_Scum1d 2h ago

The original RE was the best. Its not on the list which makes no sense.

The remake of it was alright but should be higher on this list.

-Foxtrot23h ago

The original RE smokes VII and Village, come on.

I really really really hope they offer updated controls for MP2 like PrimeHack has.

jjb198128d ago

As much as I hope for this also, I feel like Nintendo won't bother since "you should have" the GameCube controller for Switch 2.
