    While they do like to mix things up on occasion they have there fair share of consoles that feel like iterations on a theme.

    • NES>SNES
    • N64>GameCube
    • GB>GBA
    • DS>3DS

    With official announcements of a Switch successor including continuing software compatibility it seemed likely that it would keep the general form factor.

        Branding aside, the GameCube had:

        • four controller sockets built into the console
        • a media format with much lower capacity than the competition
        • a controller with one primary thumbstick and two primary face buttons.

        These feel like vestigial N64 features

        Edit: and three shoulder/trigger buttons!

          Okay, actually now that you bring all that up, yeah! The controller is very different looking but functionally, even the C stick/C buttons are similar

          Mayyybe.

          IMO what sets the GameCube apart from anything else is its controller. Those asymetric buttons are unlike anything, including N64. Plus the weird analogic triggers.
