While trawling through research for my topic "Europe - It's okay if you're Swedish!" (Blatant plug : ) ), i found something about the handle:
Found through nintendo.com, an interview with Kenichiro Ashida, gube developer:
"..I did some research to determine how video game systems were used in game players' homes. I discovered that a lot of players actually moved the console away from the television and closer to themselves while playing games. Adding a handle to the system makes it easier for players to do this, and it also gives the system a friendly look. The handle isn't designed for players to carry the Nintendo Gamecube around for long distances."
So the handle is a poor man's wavebird controller?
Hope that's not been done before - i've not seen it come up around here, but if it did, sorry for starting a new topic for it.
And that wasn't as part of a picture, so it couldn't be ctl-c, ctl-v'd. I hope you appreciate it!
