What the Gamecube’s Handle Is Really For

This is what the Gamecube's handle was really used for.

[Emilio_Estevez]

Awesome.

[dangert12]

i think flavor flave will have something to say about his style lol

[Active Reload]

I'm tempted to use that guy as my avatar. Not Flav but the guy with the GC necklace.

[BiggCMan]

You know what's interesting. None of us may never know why the handle was added, but after 10 years, could you picture the Gamecube without it? It's just something we all got used to.

[ELite_Ghost]

this could b a nice haloween costume. Even if i'm too old lolz

[fatstarr]

im whippin out my cube tomoro to do this.

[Wenis]

I hope thats the only thing you decide on whippin out

[ClimateKaren]

@Wenis

[avengers1978]

picking it up and hitting people over the head of course.

[_EvilMonkey_]

It's a man purse, Exclusive at Nintendo.

[dangert12]

the ultimate manbag 4 a gamer =')

[baxy-z]

I knew that handle would be of use one day!

[Pikajew]

Its my portable mini cd case

But can only hold one cd at a time :(

[Warprincess116]

And why is this news?

[birdy966]

Read the article my good man, it's a slow news day article..

[itsralf]

"I welcome you to our first ‘SLD Post (Slow News Day Post)."

How does Slow News Day = SLD?

[jimmyboy]

@itsralf - it's been fixed. However, that is pretty irrelevant to the actual post.

[longcat]

listed under "culture"

[LeftPawedFox]

why did it have a handle?

[MoDyDo]

I was wondering the same

[-Alpha]

Because the Gamecube was meant to be portable.

You were supposed to carry it and skip to your friends house cheerily, like some Japanese anime schoolboy.

[femshep]

would we have to wear those yellow hats too when we skip to our friends house, i would totally do that

[Carnage]

Funny!

[Moerdigan]

did they ever release that gold GC? that would be legitimately blingy.

[Eizet]

yeap! the nintendo Dolce & Gabanna edition

[Sc0pe92]

SWEET!

[R_A_LEE20]

So thats where my Silver Gamecube went!

[PirateThom]

If the console had clips for controllers and a place to store the cables... would have been a mad device for carrying to other places.

[ARC3582]

Huh, and I figured the handle was just to inconvenience me when I tried to store the bloody thing.

[theredsquire]

let's seem him model an xbox!

[Undeadwolfy]

Lets not.

[CrzyFooL]

FLAVA FLAV HAS MET HIS MATCH.

[Mcrmarcher]

The temptation is strong with this one. (stares lovingly at gamecube)

[contra157]

It was used to carry to a friends house to battle.

[NyGiants7]

..I have to do this...

GC was the shit, I still play Melee w/ my friends

[Relientk77]

lol @ Gamecube necklace

[artsaber]

And for some reason, I still love that lil' ol box.

[CNXN]

long live the cube...

[reddeadite]

Saw this on Reddit

[MasterCornholio]

Nice Bling Bling. Now i wonder if i can do that with the orginal XBOX?

[KING_KAI]

that thing would be like thors hammer

btw that would mean i would have a ltd edition thors hammer :D

[Huntmaster17]

Am I the only one that was afraid holding the system by the handle?

[X-Zone]

LOL brilliant

[tigertron]

I bet his neck hurts. :P

[DJMarty]

So you can hold why you throw the crap.

[pcz]

Its a knuckle duster

[leonlion]

Its Wii sports v0.5 hammerthrow

[Ness-Psi]

I use the handle to hit people who say the Gamecube is a kiddie console round the head with.

[Jonmau5]

If only my Sega Mega Drive came with a handle too... I would be even more retro and awesome than that guy... :(

[Sidewinder-]

For some reason...i always felt nervous holding it by that handle.

[TheCryptKeeper]

i used the handle for chucking it in the street, after realizing the console was garbage.

[Burning_Finger]

I thought that was for lifting weights.

[Paragon]

Haha, that's awesome... I never really used that handle, except to just tote it around to another TV.

[TBONEJF]

Now we have A BIG GAME CUBE NECK CHANGE THAT'S AWESOME

[R834]

I did actually use the handle if I moved my Gamecube about. Can't imagine a handle on a 360 or a PS3 though - would probably snap under its own weight. The Gamecube was so small and light.

[Just_aarix]

Amazings it's been only $30 for 2 years

[Jake_Butler]

WOW!!!!! This is the top story on N4G!!! How this is more important then Uncharted 3!! Typical N4G admins!!
