Nintendo launched its GameCube console in North America on November 18th, 2001. That makes today the system's first birthday! Some of our forum readers have already been celebrating, and we invite you to join them in the PGC Forums at this thread:

Reflect on the first year of games, talk about how far the system has come (or still has to go), or just recount some of those crazy launch-day stories. The PGC staff will probably be adding their comments to this article throughout tonight and tomorrow. You can also find our launch reports and other launch coverage from one year ago via the Related Event link in the right sidebar.

Happy birthday, GameCube!
