Given the old-school aesthetic of Minecraft, it's perhaps not too surprising that some are keen to use the sandbox game for a little bit of nostalgia, and that's what one fan has done by creating a giant version of a Nintendo GameCube. Boasting near-infinite gameplay, Mojang's lucrative IP has stood the test of time, using a combination of simple ideas and complex building mechanics to keep players engrossed in the blocky world for hours on end.

Over the years, there have been plenty of examples of just how creative some people can be, using the game to express themselves digitally. Players have built everything from entire cities built from the imagination to sophisticated redstone devices capable of advanced calculations to a view of the universe reimagined in Minecraft. But the community is not showing any signs of slowing down any time soon, and sometimes fans like to dedicate themselves to showing their appreciation for some of gaming's iconic releases that have come and gone.

Reddit user jaflm24 has managed to create a huge replica of the GameCube within Minecraft, with its distinctive purple design and back handle really making it stand out against the game's backdrop. A number of images show the replica from different angles, and it becomes pretty clear that the creator put a lot of effort into this massive structure. It even has the ATI logo in the bottom corner, which represents the graphics processor that helped power the retro console. While some in the comments have said it would be impressive if it was fully functional, just the fact jaflm24 built the shell makes it a fantastic build.

It's likely there will be some reading this who won't remember this particular system. Although it was one of Nintendo's most underrated consoles, the GameCube is fondly remembered by many. After the success of the N64, the Japanese developer finally made the leap to disc-based hardware, several years after the original PlayStation and the Sega CD implemented the technology. Over its lifetime, the GameCube had a number of hits, including Beyond Good and Evil, Mario Kart: Double Dash, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, and the much underappreciated horror title Eternal Darkness.

Mojang's release and gaming nostalgia appear to be ideal bedfellows. Recently, one Minecraft fan designed a Game Boy-style shader for the title, giving it the iconic though somewhat primitive green visuals the Nintendo handheld was known for. Given all these projects that keep coming out of the woodwork, it's not surprising that Minecraft is still going strong, and it will be interesting to see how other people showcase their more nostalgic sides.

Minecraft is available on Mobile, PC, PS3, PS4, Switch, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
