Nintendo released the successor, the Wii, in 2006, which was revealed to have very similar (albeit more powerful) hardware and compatible interfaces. Unlike PlayStation 2 or Xbox DVD playback support, the GameCube didn't have playback support for mini-DVD movies. Nintendo, Namco, and Sega later designed the Triforce arcade board based on the GameCube, releasing titles for it the following year. It has an IBM PowerPC Gekko CPU at 486 MHz with a ATI Flipper GPU. The GameCube ( GCN/ NGC) is a 32-bit, sixth-generation console released by Nintendo on November 18, 2001, for $199.
