Howard Cheng, technical director of Nintendo technology development, said the company's goal was to select a "simple [[RISC]] architecture" to help speed the development of games by making it easier on software developers. IGN reported that the system was "designed from the get-go to attract third-party developers by offering more power at a cheaper price. Nintendo's design document for the console specifies that cost is of utmost importance, followed by space."<ref name="It's Alive" /> Hardware partner ArtX's Vice President Greg Buchner stated that their guiding thought on the console's hardware design was to target the developers rather than the players, and to "look into a crystal ball" and discern "what's going to allow the [[Shigeru Miyamoto|Miyamoto-sans]] of the world to develop the best games".<ref name="ATI discusses GC graphics" />

{{Quote box
| quote = We thought about the developers as our main customers. In particular, for GameCube, we spent three years working with Nintendo of America and with all sorts of developers, trying to understand the challenges, needs, and problems they face. First among these is the rising cost of development. The GameCube can see high performance without too much trouble; it isn't a quirky design, but a very clean one. It was important we didn't require jumping through hoops for high performance to be achieved. On top of that, it is rich in features, and we worked to include a dream group of technical features that developers requested.

Initiating the GameCube's design in 1998, Nintendo partnered with [[ArtX]] (then acquired by ATI Technologies during development) for the system logic and the GPU,<ref name="Nintendo tweaks GC's specs" /> and with [[IBM]] for the CPU.

Nintendo developed [[stereoscopic 3D]] technology for the GameCube, supported by one launch game, ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''. However, the feature never reached production.

[[File:Gamecube-controller-breakdown.jpg|thumb|left|Indigo GameCube controller]]
Nintendo learned from its experiences—both positive and negative—with the Nintendo 64's three-handled [[game controller|controller]] design and chose a two-handled, "handlebar" design for the GameCube. The shape was popularized by Sony's [[PlayStation (console)|PlayStation]] controller released in 1994 and its follow-up [[DualShock]] series in 1997 with [[Haptic technology|vibration feedback]] and two [[analog stick]]s to improve the 3D experience. Nintendo and [[Microsoft]] designed similar features in the controllers for their sixth-generation consoles, but instead of having the analog sticks in parallel, they are staggered by swapping the positions of the [[d-pad|directional pad]] (d-pad) and left analog stick. The GameCube controller features a total of eight buttons, two analog sticks, a d-pad, and a [[Haptic technology#Video games|rumble]] motor. The primary analog stick is on the left with the d-pad located below and closer to the center. On the right are four buttons: a large, green "A" button in the center, a smaller red "B" button to the left, an "X" button to the right, and a "Y" button at the top. Below and to the inside is a yellow "C" analog stick, which often serves a variety of in-game functions, such as controlling the camera angle. The Start/Pause button is located in the middle, and the rumble motor is encased within the center of the controller.<ref name="DualShock">{{Cite web |last=Plunkett |first=Luke |date=June 28, 2011 |title=The Evolution of the PlayStation Control Pad |url=http://kotaku.com/5816069/the-evolution-of-the-playstation-control-pad/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130727095330/http://kotaku.com/5816069/the-evolution-of-the-playstation-control-pad/ |archive-date=July 27, 2013 |access-date=July 16, 2013 |publisher=[[Kotaku]]}}</ref><ref name="Controller – ZDNet">{{Cite news |last=Satterfield |first=Shane |date=November 16, 2001 |title=What's Inside the GameCube? |work=[[ZDNet]] |url=https://www.zdnet.com/article/whats-inside-the-gamecube/ |url-status=live |access-date=July 15, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120307005736/http://www.zdnet.com/news/whats-inside-the-gamecube/117056 |archive-date=March 7, 2012}}</ref><ref name="Controller – Nintendojo">{{Cite web |last=England |first=Kyle |date=April 5, 2012 |title=The Legend of the Gamepad: A Brief History of Nintendo Consoles Told with Buttons and Joysticks. |url=http://www.nintendojo.com/features/editorials/the-legend-of-the-gamepad |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121130073145/http://www.nintendojo.com/features/editorials/the-legend-of-the-gamepad |archive-date=November 30, 2012 |access-date=July 15, 2013 |publisher=Nintendojo}}</ref>

On the top are two "pressure-sensitive" trigger buttons marked "L" and "R". Each essentially provides two functions: one analog and one digital. As the trigger is depressed, it emits an increasing analog signal. Once fully depressed, the trigger "clicks" with a digital signal that a game can use for a separate function.

In 2002, Nintendo introduced the [[WaveBird Wireless Controller]], the first [[wireless]] gamepad developed by a first-party console manufacturer.
