In Japan, the GameCube is abbreviated as both "NGC" and "GC," as "NGC" is also an abbreviation used by the Japanese electronics company NGC Corporation.<ref>https://www.ngc.co.jp/company/company-profile</ref> In {{wp|Western world|Western}} regions, the GameCube is abbreviated as "GCN," notably for [[classic course]]s in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' games, because the abbreviation "NGC" is trademarked by the {{wp|National Geographic Global Networks|National Geographic Channel}}. | In Japan, the GameCube is abbreviated as both "NGC" and "GC," as "NGC" is also an abbreviation used by the Japanese electronics company NGC Corporation.<ref>https://www.ngc.co.jp/company/company-profile</ref> In {{wp|Western world|Western}} regions, the GameCube is abbreviated as "GCN," notably for [[classic course]]s in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' games, because the abbreviation "NGC" is trademarked by the {{wp|National Geographic Global Networks|National Geographic Channel}}. | ||
The GameCube is Nintendo's first home console to support digital audio and video output, albeit through analog component cables; this feature was also used to display standard definition video through {{wp|progressive scan}}ning rather than conventional {{wp|Interlaced video|interlacing}}.

In 2006, the Nintendo GameCube was succeeded by the [[Wii]]. The original version of the Wii is mostly compatible with Nintendo GameCube hardware and software. Like the Nintendo GameCube, the Wii has 4 controller ports and 2 memory card slots which support all controllers, like the dance mat and microphone, though it does not support add-ons that attach to the console. Later revisions of the Wii, such as the [[Wii#Wii Family Edition|Wii Family Edition]] and [[Wii Mini#Wii mini|Wii Mini]], would remove Nintendo GameCube support. The [[Wii U]] and [[Nintendo Switch]] are also not compatible with any Nintendo GameCube games, but ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' and most Nintendo Switch games are compatible with the controllers through a special adapter. The GameCube controller is compatible with more consoles than any other Nintendo controller, with a total of four: GameCube, Wii, Wii U, and Nintendo Switch (as of its 4.0.0 update). | In 2006, the Nintendo GameCube was succeeded by the [[Wii]].
