The '''Nintendo GameCube''', '''GCN''', or '''NGC''', is Nintendo's fourth home video game console and is part of the sixth generation console era. It is the successor to the [[Nintendo 64]] and predecessor to the [[Wii]]. The Nintendo GameCube was released on the following dates: September 14, 2001 in Japan, November 18, 2001 in North America, May 3, 2002 in Europe, and May 17, 2002 in Australia.<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/library/historical_data/pdf/consolidated_sales_e0912.pdf Nintendo Data on Sales]</ref> The Nintendo GameCube's successor, the Wii, is backward-compatible with it. 

==''Metroid''==
With relation to ''[[Metroid (series)|Metroid]]'', the Nintendo GameCube is home only to the first two ''[[Metroid Prime (series)|Metroid Prime]]'' games, ''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]'' and ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]''; however, a feature on the original ''Metroid Prime'' allowed connectivity to ''[[Metroid Fusion]]''. The connection is the only way of unlocking the [[Fusion Suit]] in ''Metroid Prime''.
