A Gamecube console and controller.
The Nintendo GameCube (abbreviated NGC or GCN) is Nintendo's fourth home video game console, belonging to the sixth generation era. The system itself is the most compact and least expensive of the sixth generation era consoles. It is the successor to the Nintendo 64 and the predecessor to the Wii. It was released on September 14, 2001 in Japan; November 18, 2001 in North America; May 3, 2002 in Europe; and May 17, 2002 in Australia.
There were no GTA games for the GameCube; GameCube ports for Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City were planned, but were cancelled for unknown reasons. The likely reason would be due to the games' violence, or maybe due to disc space. Reproduction carts do exist however.
Grand Theft Auto Advance and the Game Boy Color ports of Grand Theft Auto 1 and Grand Theft Auto 2 can also be played on the GameCube through the Game Boy Player device.
Bratz: Rock Angels, a game based on GTA III's RenderWare engine was available on the GameCube.
