</header>

The <a href="GameCube" title="GameCube">GameCube</a> has limited support for <a href="Online_game" title="Online game">online gaming</a>. <a href="Nintendo" title="Nintendo">Nintendo</a> never commissioned any servers to interface with the console, but allowed other publishers to do so. The only games released with <a href="Internet" title="Internet">internet</a>-based gameplay modes were <a href="Phantasy_Star_Online" title="Phantasy Star Online">Phantasy Star Online</a>, <a href="Phantasy_Star_Online_Episode_III%3A_C.A.R.D._Revolution" title="Phantasy Star Online Episode III: C.A.R.D. Revolution">Phantasy Star Online Episode III: C.A.R.D. Revolution</a>, and <a href="Homeland_(video_game)" title="Homeland (video game)">Homeland</a>. Nintendo also published three <a href="Racing_video_game" class="mw-redirect" title="Racing video game">racing games</a> with <a href="Local_area_network" title="Local area network">local area network</a> (LAN) support: <a href="1080%C2%B0_Avalanche" title="1080° Avalanche">1080° Avalanche</a>, <a href="Kirby_Air_Ride" title="Kirby Air Ride">Kirby Air Ride</a>, and <a href="Mario_Kart%3A_Double_Dash" title="Mario Kart: Double Dash">Mario Kart: Double Dash!!</a>. Using network functions requires the official <a href="Broadband" title="Broadband">broadband</a> or <a href="Modem" title="Modem">modem</a> adapter since the console does not have <a href="Out_of_the_box_(feature)" title="Out of the box (feature)">out of the box</a> network capabilities.

Despite competitors <a href="Microsoft" title="Microsoft">Microsoft</a> and <a href="Sony" title="Sony">Sony</a> advancing online gaming for their consoles, the <a href="Xbox_(console)" title="Xbox (console)">Xbox</a> and <a href="PlayStation_2" title="PlayStation 2">PlayStation 2</a>, Nintendo remained pensive with its online strategy for the duration of the GameCube's lifespan. Company leaders including <a href="Shigeru_Miyamoto" title="Shigeru Miyamoto">Shigeru Miyamoto</a> and <a href="Satoru_Iwata" title="Satoru Iwata">Satoru Iwata</a> based their stance on concerns with maintaining quality control over their games and doubts that players would want to pay subscription fees.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>

Before the GameCube, Nintendo had experimented with network connectivity with three accessories released exclusively in Japan for the <a href="Famicom" class="mw-redirect" title="Famicom">Famicom</a>, <a href="Super_Famicom" class="mw-redirect" title="Super Famicom">Super Famicom</a>, and <a href="Nintendo_64" title="Nintendo 64">Nintendo 64</a>. For the Famicom, they developed the <a href="Family_Computer_Network_System" title="Family Computer Network System">Family Computer Network System</a> peripheral in 1988. The device acted as a <a href="Modem" title="Modem">modem</a> and allowed players to view weather forecasts, the <a href="Stock_market" title="Stock market">stock market</a>, and bet on <a href="Horse_racing" title="Horse racing">horse races</a>, among other activities.<a href="#cite_note-How_the_Famicom_Modem_was_Born-1">[1]</a> Following their experiences with the device, Nintendo developed the <a href="Satellaview" title="Satellaview">Satellaview</a> for the Super Famicom, a <a href="Satellite_modem" title="Satellite modem">satellite modem</a> peripheral. The modem communicated to a series of <a href="BSE_(satellite)" class="mw-redirect" title="BSE (satellite)">BS satellites</a> which relayed information from servers hosted by satellite radio company <a href="St.GIGA" title="St.GIGA">St.GIGA</a>. Using this service, players had access to exclusive games, magazines, and other downloads. Nintendo ended its partnership with St.GIGA in 1999, and partnered with <a href="Recruit_(company)" title="Recruit (company)">Recruit</a> to build a new online service called Randnet for the <a href="64DD" title="64DD">64DD</a>, a magnetic disk drive add-on for the Nintendo 64. Randnet gave players access to message board communities and a web browser for surfing the internet.<a href="#cite_note-64DD_at_NOM_3-2">[2]</a><a href="#cite_note-64DD:_Broken_Promises-3">[3]</a>

In 1999, an unnamed source at <a href="Nintendo_of_America" class="mw-redirect" title="Nintendo of America">Nintendo of America</a> said, "Networkability is at the top of the list for the new console."<a href="#cite_note-It's_Alive-4">[4]</a><a href="#cite_note-Miyamoto_Talks_Dolphin_at_Space_World_99-5">[5]</a> referring to the N2000 prototype which would later become the GameCube. On August 28, 1999, <a href="Nintendo_Entertainment_Analysis_%26_Development" title="Nintendo Entertainment Analysis & Development">Nintendo EAD</a> general manager <a href="Shigeru_Miyamoto" title="Shigeru Miyamoto">Shigeru Miyamoto</a> stated that the Dolphin needed some type of network communication because it was becoming an important component of entertainment. However, he said that Nintendo did not have any true motive to become significantly involved in the internet business. He stated Nintendo has a responsibility to families so that parents can always feel secure with children playing Nintendo products, and went on to say that he did not think network capabilities would be a core component of their next console.<a href="#cite_note-Miyamoto_Talks_Dolphin_at_Space_World_99-5">[5]</a>

On February 9, 2000, Miyamoto said that he was interested in online gaming, but Nintendo would only get involved with it if they developed a unique approach to the idea, not because others were doing it.<a href="#cite_note-Miyamoto_Goes_Online_for_Dolphin-6">[6]</a> At <a href="Electronic_Entertainment_Expo" class="mw-redirect" title="Electronic Entertainment Expo">E3</a> 2001, though demonstrating their networking accessories and <a href="Phantasy_Star_Online" title="Phantasy Star Online">Phantasy Star Online</a>, Nintendo director and general manager <a href="Satoru_Iwata" title="Satoru Iwata">Satoru Iwata</a> stated Nintendo was confident enough with its offline strategy to not seriously explore the possibilities of online gaming. He said that Nintendo would build a network to support a worldwide audience if they could make it profitable, but he expressed doubts that online gaming would be a sustainable business model for the company, citing subscription costs as prohibitive at retaining a steady customer base.<a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a><a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a> On June 8, 2000, Nintendo President <a href="Hiroshi_Yamauchi" title="Hiroshi Yamauchi">Hiroshi Yamauchi</a> said, "We are planning to introduce an internet business next March or April. The first step will be online sales of a brand new type of Pokémon cards."<a href="#cite_note-Yamauchi_Confirms_Dolphin_Delay,_internet_Plans-9">[9]</a>

Nintendo remained cautious and terse with its online strategy for the remainder of the system's lifespan while competitors <a href="Microsoft" title="Microsoft">Microsoft</a> and <a href="Sony" title="Sony">Sony</a> were advancing their online gaming business.<a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a><a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a> Months after the system's release, Nintendo stated it was researching online projects internally, but not planning any public demonstrations.<a href="#cite_note-12">[12]</a> Miyamoto solidified his stance against online gaming around the same time, citing concerns that Nintendo would not be able to dictate the vision of their games nor guarantee their quality. In addition, he believed that players would not want to pay monthly fees.<a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a> In a 2022 interview, Nintendo of America's former president <a href="Reggie_Fils-Aim%C3%A9" title="Reggie Fils-Aimé">Reggie Fils-Aimé</a> said that Nintendo felt it excelled in <a href="Local_multiplayer" class="mw-redirect" title="Local multiplayer">local multiplayer</a> experiences and wanted to spend time determining how to replicate those online. He added that cultural differences between Nintendo's regional branches slowed its adoption of online multiplayer, as the Japanese branch disagreed with the American and European ones over whether the infrastructure was worth investing in.<a href="#cite_note-14">[14]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Hardware">Hardware</h2></div>

Nintendo released two networking accessories for the GameCube in October 2002 produced by <a href="Conexant" title="Conexant">Conexant</a>, the Broadband Adapter (a <a href="Network_card" class="mw-redirect" title="Network card">network adapter</a>) and the Modem Adapter (a 56k <a href="Dial-up_access" class="mw-redirect" title="Dial-up access">dial-up</a> <a href="Modem" title="Modem">modem</a>).<a href="#cite_note-bbapreview-15">[15]</a><a href="#cite_note-nwrbba-16">[16]</a> The adapters fit flush into "Serial Port 1" on the underside of the GameCube. The Broadband Adapter is built for faster internet speeds and adds an <a href="Ethernet" title="Ethernet">ethernet</a> jack to the side of the console while the Modem Adapter adds a phone jack and operates through <a href="Dial-up_internet_access" class="mw-redirect" title="Dial-up internet access">dial-up</a>.<a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a><a href="#cite_note-18">[18]</a> Both adapters can be used for the Phantasy Star Online games and Powerful Pro, but the Broadband Adapter is required for LAN-only games and Homeland.<a href="#cite_note-:0-19">[19]</a><a href="#cite_note-homelandnetplay4-20">[20]</a> To help players communicate in Phantasy Star Online, <a href="ASCII_Corporation" title="ASCII Corporation">ASCII Corporation</a> released a stretched out controller with a full keyboard in the middle.<a href="#cite_note-21">[21]</a>

Nintendo did not develop any servers or internet service to interface with GameCube consoles, and instead made publishers responsible for providing server interfaces and managing the online experience for their games.<a href="#cite_note-GCN_jumps_online-22">[22]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Phantasy_Star_Online">Phantasy Star Online</h3></div>

Nintendo published three <a href="Racing_video_game" class="mw-redirect" title="Racing video game">racing games</a> with LAN multiplayer modes: <a href="1080%C2%B0_Avalanche" title="1080° Avalanche">1080° Avalanche</a>, <a href="Kirby_Air_Ride" title="Kirby Air Ride">Kirby Air Ride</a>, and <a href="Mario_Kart%3A_Double_Dash" title="Mario Kart: Double Dash">Mario Kart: Double Dash!!</a>.<a href="#cite_note-29">[29]</a> When playing over a LAN, multiple systems can be connected through a shared <a href="Ethernet_hub" title="Ethernet hub">ethernet hub</a> or two systems can be connected directly to one another with a <a href="Ethernet_crossover_cable" title="Ethernet crossover cable">cross cable</a>.<a href="#cite_note-:3-30">[30]</a> 1080° Avalanche and Kirby Air Ride support up to four players across four consoles.
