Trivia[]

  • The Nintendo GameCube has made a cameo in City Folk. It appears in the Pink Box item sold in Tom Nook's store. Another one is the G box item, which is the GameCube logo. It is also available to be downloaded via Wi-Fi within the game as a special item from Nintendo, serving as a storage device. Its successor (or rather, its successor's controller) is also downloadable and serves the same purpose.
