The Nintendo GameCube (ニンテンドーゲームキューブ, Nintendō GēmuKyūbu), often abbreviated GCN, is a gaming console released by Nintendo in 2001. Super Smash Bros. Melee is one of its games, and its top-seller. Its sucessor, the Wii, is backward compatible with the GameCube; capable of playing all of its games and accepting its controllers and memory cards. Various Wii fighting games have allowed use of a GameCube Controller as way to have a more traditional way to play. Super Smash Bros. Brawl is no exception. The control scheme in Super Smash Bros. Brawl works much like it did in Super Smash Bros. Melee.
