NOTE: I call it Jr. like Nintendo did with the Super Famicom and I believe Famicom as well. Other suitable names include Mini, SP, or something else.

With this news of the Revolution being barely bigger than 3 DVD cases, do you think Nintendo might release a GameCube revision that's pretty small as well?

Sorry if this was done already.

Doubt it.

One question really needs to be asked.

Is it really worth it?

Yeah CVX, I've been meaning to ask. Where is you avatar from?

 

[MrDaravon]

I can't see why they'd bother at this point.

This is a good point though, if they can make revolution that thin and it is backwards compatible, wouldn't it be easy to make a game cube handheld?

If Revolution is small, lightweight, and played GameCube games...

wouldn't a mini-GameCube just dilute the potential sales of the Revolution?

I vote that it ain't happening, except possibly as a "for fun" redesign a year after Rev has been out.

The Gamecube is huge and bulky. I can barely fit two of them inside a shoe box. What kind of monstrosity is that?

A) I doubt someone seriously considering spending $300 on the Revolution would decide instead to go for the $50-80 GameCube. It'd be for those who can't/won't spend so much money on a console. Certainly I've been a proponent of trying to get GCN into the market space PSOne has had for the last few years.

B) If someone going for the Revolution did instead buy a cheap GameCube... well, as long as they ended up spending the same amount on software, I doubt Nintendo would mind.

Probably not.

Though, I really want to see a Crystal, see-through, Cube.
