The '''Nintendo Gamecube''' is the home console in which [[Pikmin 1]] and [[Pikmin 2]] are played, apart from the fact that the Nintendo Wii can also be used to play these games. The Gamecube's media hardware is a specially designed disc, which is read and written in a different style as other known discs. Nintendo did this to prevent pirating of the company's videogames.
