Nintendo GameCube Component Video Questions

The Digital A/V Output port was removed from systems produced after May, 2004 (these systems will have a model number of DOL-101).

Additional Information:

• Why have you removed the component video feature from the Nintendo GameCube?
  On newer models of the Nintendo GameCube, we opted to remove the digital A/V out port from the system because we found that less than one percent of all Nintendo GameCube players used this feature.

 

• Will future Nintendo GameCube games continue to have the progressive scan feature?
  About one-third of licensee-published titles and over 90% of Nintendo-published titles currently have the progressive scan feature. We expect that most Nintendo-published titles will continue to support progressive scan. Each licensee will continue to make the decision of whether or not to include this feature in their future games.

 

• Where can I purchase a Nintendo GameCube Component Video Cable?
