Gamecube classic edition is on the way, new mini console

During the past E3 2018, Nintendo offered a lot of details about the upcoming fighting game Super Smash Bros, and that the game will be compatible with the GameCube controller, something that will delight all fans of this platform.

Three new Nintendo patents point to the arrival of a GameCube Classic Edition

Information about Nintendo's recently registered trademarks in Japan is now coming to light, revealing that GameCube controller support may not be the only new thing Nintendo is planning this year. Nintendo has filed three different trademarks for the GameCube, these trademarks specifically pertain to video game software and a console. None of these trademarks refers to the marketing of games.

One theory is that Nintendo is preparing a GameCube Classic Edition version for launch, just as the company did with the NES Classic and SNES Classic Edition consoles. Based on this, Nintendo could launch a miniaturized GameCube with a selection of games well-loved by fans.

Many games and franchises that became popular on the GameCube are about to return to the market, including Beyond Good and Evil, Luigi's Mansion, Super Monkey Ball 2, Resident Evil 4, and Metroid Prime. GameCube was one of the best Nintendo consoles, although it was highly unfairly valued by the community.

However, it may take a long time for this so-called GameCube Classic Edition to arrive. A year ago, Nintendo also filed a trademark for the Nintendo 64, so if Nintendo goes in chronological order, an N64 Classic is likely to come out before this new console. What do you think about the arrival on the market of a GameCube Classic Edition?
