Though plenty of attention this week is on the PlayStation 4’s launch last Friday, and the Xbox One arriving on the next, at the midpoint—today—is a rather significant date in video gaming history: Three Nintendo systems all released in North America on Nov. 18. The Wii U, of course, is most recent, launching last year to kick off the next console generation. But it also shares a birthday, on this continent, with the GameCube and the Game Boy Color. The GameBoy Color was, as its name implies, the first color handheld made by Nintendo, and also the first handheld to be backward compatible, which to this day is a bedrock feature of Nintendo’s portable line of hardware.cnx.cmd.push(function(){cnx({"playerId":"e3616d04-4972-4839-a63a-c6975e2e9731","settings":{"advertising":{"macros":{"AD_UNIT":"/23178111854/od.kotaku.com/article","CHILD_UNIT":"article","POST_ID":"1466972851","POST_TYPE":"post","CHANNEL":"uncategorized","SECTION":"","SUBSECTION":"","CATEGORIES":"uncategorized","TAGS":"nintendo","NOP":"0"},"timeBeforeFirstAd":0}}}).render("cnx-player-main")}); The GameCube was Nintendo’s workhorse of the y1 game early 2000s, Y1 com Game when consoles were graduating to online play and deepening their offerings of mature titles, neither of which were hallmarks of the GameCube.
