16 Mind-Blowing Facts You Never Knew About Nintendo
8. There's A Secret Tribute To The Gamecube's Codename Inside Its Shell
Every console has a codename the developers use in-house before release (the Wii was named the 'Revolution', the Xbox 360 was the 'Xenon', etc.).
For the Gamecube it was the 'Dolphin', and although that later got thrown out the window, website Chipworks.com archive many artistic designs that exist on the front of various microchips, where hardware teams doodle all sorts of images that 99% of people will never find them.
Nintendo's loveable little purple box was no different, showcasing a tiny dolphin inside the retail version - a VERY neat addition to a console already brimming with secrets and potential.
