Anything more than the N64 or GCN.

why do people always abbreviate it GCN?  You are referring to the Gamecube right?

 

Because in Nintendo Power a long, long time ago, they said "Yes, we know GCN looks wierd, but Nintendo told us that they offically want it to be abreviated as GCN (Gamecube Nintendo). So that's what the offical way to write it is."

And that's were it comes from. Nintendo is just worried people might be too stupid to remember who made the thing.

You beat me to it! But yes, that is how Nintendo wanted it.  True story.
