The Dolphin

[cornbin]

I remember hearing something about a Nintendo Dolphin back in 1999 I think.(I was 7,I didn't know much about games) Was this just what Nintendo called the now to be known Gamecube or was it a whole new system entirely?

i'm not so shure abot that my self but what i've heard is that it's sort of like the name revultion for the wii. i think it was the gamecubes code name until they got the name gamecube

It was the gamecube. Now you know why they called the wireless controller the "WaveBird"

And maybe why on mario party 7 the teams are the dolphin team, and the seagull team.

I think if it was it would've been in an earlier Mario Party(such as 5 or 6)

The "Dolphin" was simply a code name that was given to the Nintendo Gamecube while it was in the process of being Developed. Just like the Wii was Project Revolution and the Nintendo 64 was Project Reality.

That's why I find it humorus when people say they were suprized by the "name change" of the Nintendo Wii as if Nintendo said Revolution was the system's name from the start.

Oh alright I didn't know. Haha remember I was seven! You can lock this now if you need to.

The code name "dolphin" sounds weird compared to "reality" and "revolution" it almost doesn't make sense. it's like "Which one of these is not like the other?" I wonder why they called it that, just seems odd to me.
