If you haven't seen Zelda or Mario in high definition, then you're missing out. The GameCube has support for progressive scan, or 480p, and if you have one of the pricey TVs that support it, then you're in luck. There are a few other ways to soup up your GameCube, most notably with WaveBird controllers, the best wireless controllers on the market. Also new is the GBA Player, which hooks up to the GameCube to play Game Boy Advance games on a television.

GameCube
In the GameCube box, you'll find Nintendo's distinctive controller and a standard composite video connector.  |

GB Player

WaveBird controller
This is one of the best wireless controllers around. It's reliable despite the lack of wires and has good battery life, though it does not have the standard GameCube controller's rumble feature. |

Memory Card 251
This is the larger of the two memory card options for the GameCube. The Memory Card 59 is less expensive, but at $20, the 251's extra space may be too affordable to pass up. |

Pro Logic audio
While the GameCube doesn't have full Dolby Digital 5.1, it does support surround sound via Dolby Pro Logic. There are any number of affordable audio products that support this feature, which can also come in handy for playing music and DVDs. |

Progressive television
GameCube games have 480p progressive-scan support for crisper images. A big, bright, sharp direct-projection television is best. Whether you're using a high-definition signal or not, a component cable is the best way to get the GameCube's video to your TV.

Optional: Modem or broadband network adapter.
