Controls
The main control on a GameCube device is the power button. Other controls needed to work the game are on the controller that plugs into the device.

The GameCube is a few years old, and isnt a best seller in comaparison to the Play Station 2 or the X-Box. The Nintendo GameCube hasn't made any drastic changes to its appearance or function since its release. The cube is wired in a way in which it must be plugged into the wall and the telivision in order to transmit energy, and for the device to work. One change the company could make to their device in which it may be more appealing, is to rewire the cube so it functions without plugging into an outlet. Furthermore, controllers to work the device are plugged into as many as four slots to control the game. The controllers were attached to a cord, and players caould only move a certain distance form the cube without unplugging. Soon after the release, cordless controllers for the device were made to make the cube easier and more accessable. //Modems are were also made to attach to the bottom of the console to allow gamers to access online games.//

Partners
