The quality of the imagery byUser:Evan-Amos is amazing, however I'm dubious of the accuracy of the colour. While the GameCube was often graphically illustrated as a purple-Indigo, does the actual physical console look like this?
The colour in the earlier revision ofFile:Gamecube-controller-breakdown.jpg looks much closer to what I've seen first hand and what appears online. When photographs do posses this purple tint, it tends to be in warm lighting.
Evan-Amos took both of those photos. On the controllers, I personally cannot really see a color difference. The console does seem less vibrant, but it's also flat rather than curved. --ferret (talk)16:32, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The purple of the GameCube and GBA does not photograph properly due to colorspace issues, showing up as blue-ish. I used Nintendo promo photos to adjust the colors to what should be "real" values, but it's a finnicky process. The Controller Breakdown photo is also really old and should have been retaken, but I just never got back to it.Evan-Amos (talk)20:54, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I made an account to agree with this, the GameCube is a nickname for it's full name, Nintendo GameCube. For example theWii is simply known and the Wii, not the Nintendo Wii. This is also seen in the Wii's memory card settings, it displays the names of each console side by side. Displaying itself as the 'Wii' and displaying the GameCube as it's full product name "Nintendo GameCube". okay that's it :)Yummerswhat (talk)22:40, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WP:COMMONNAME doesn't necessarily care about "official" names. Is there a new argument here? We've had this move discussion repeatedly.Opposed until a new argument is presented. --ferret (talk)03:37, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. The console is commonly referred to as the GameCube and I don't often hear it referred to as the Nintendo GameCube. I feel the move would over complicate the title.PrincessJoey2024 (talk)14:05, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That shows a lack of understanding on each of those caes. "Entertainment System" would be too inconcise, so Nintendo is required, plus NO ONE calls it that. "Super" "Entertainment System" is obvious why that would be wrong. Similar for Nintendo 64, "64" is too inconcise. DS, 3DS, etc. The actual name of the Switch is just "Switch". Each of these use Nintendo because the common word is too inconcise, and it provides natural disambiguation. That is not the case here. GameCube is both the COMMON NAME and is not inconcise. --ferret (talk)13:27, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
