The Wii U has launched a little while ago today, but today also marks the launch of the Nintendo Gamecube, which launched 11 years ago today; hence why I decide to show off the gamecube startup menu and walk you through how it works. Nintendo, since the gamecube, has had a knack of making their menus very simple and intuitive, while still being playful and nintendolike (for lack of a better description). In this case, it uses its namesake quite literally as the bases of navigation with simply the analog stick and A and B buttons for confirmation and cancelling.
