      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.
