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?

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.

[RosweeSon]

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

STOP! Just put them on Switch!! >_<

[Blu3_Berry]

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

[chris235]

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.

[XxINFERNUSxX]

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

[DivineAssault]

Im sure it is. Especially if a virtual console isnt in the cards right now. N64 & GC mini will be here eventually. How many games and how expensive extra controllers will be is the question. That or if they go all out with wifi using your nintendo network account. Highly doubtful tho

[phoenixwing]

if the gamecube comes with fire emblem games then i'll be happy to buy it. those games are so overpriced online

[Knushwood Butt]

I'd actually consider a GC mini, but a lot of my favourite GC memories were actually third party.

N64 mini? No thanks.

[Mr_Writer85]

If it doesn't have Twin Snakes on it, then it's basically pointless.

[slate91]

N64 mini first this year. Can't wait.

[FernDiggidy]

Why CAN'T WE HAVE The METROID PRIME TRILOGY ON THE SWITCH???? FFS!!!!!!!!!!!
