More of Nintendo’s internal secrets appear to have hit the internet – including early plans for a Switch-like portable GameCube with a dock.
The dock would have included GameCube controller ports, plus slots for both GameCube memory cards and SD Cards (as the Wii eventually offered).
Leaked documentation posted to reddit also includes a proposal for a traditional console follow-up to the GameCube. This plan would have seen an HD GameCube successor with power equal to Xbox 360 launch for Christmas 2005 – a year before Wii debuted.
The HD GameCube project is detailed within a leaked PowerPoint presentation which appears designed to pitch the project internally. Interestingly, it seems to have been put together by or in partnership with technology company ATI (now part of AMD), which Nintendo has worked with for many of its consoles.
