Because Neo Geo Color existed before it and shit would get confusing having two NGC acronyms for games.

great cubed nintendo

Game Cube (Nintendo)

because you g c it n walk out of the room

gamecube is such a weird console, it had like the worst zelda, worst mario, and worst metroid and it still managed to turn out to be a decent console.
>>
Game Cube, Nigga

You seem to be confusing the Gamecube and Wii.
>>
>>378061248
This is the only correct answer.

Replace Metroid with Starfox and you've got a point.

It also had Smash Bros, a solid Mario Kart, a bunch of great RE games and the best Paper Mario.

>>378061248
But why would you shorten it to NGC? Previous systems had Nintendo as part of their proper names, but this time it was just the GameCube. Just GC. The N is entirely superfluous in this situation.

>>378061248
That was the NGPC you stupid mong, there was no "Neo Geo Color"
>>
>>378061654
underrated
>>
Not to be confused with CGN.

>abbreviated NGC in Japan and GCN in Europe and North America
Because NoA and NoE are retarded.
>>
>>378062819
People like 3 letters.
>>
Cause GC was already used by the Genesis Cistem
>>
>>378062819
you can't just have 2 letters then it's by definition not an abbreviation

Is it pronounced with a hard G or soft G?
>>
>>378063493
The G is silent

Wind Waker is better than Skyward Sword at least.
And fuck you Metroid Prime is a good game.
Better than the Wii U which doesn't have its own Zelda or Metroid at all.
