If you look on the side of a GameCube games packaging, you know the place where it says the name along the side, there is a Triangle on the bottom corner of the box.

Now I have 16 GameCube games and only two of them have red triangles. The rest have Green.

Why is this?

The two games which are red are Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee and Capcom VS SNK 2 EO. Both Fighting games really, but then again so is Super Smash Bros Melee and that's red.

Sorry for posting this but my games face me lined up with that side facing me as I sit here. Also Tony Hawks 4 is the devil, the Nintendo GameCube part on the rim is much more further up then on the other games.

Satan indeed.

If you collect three you can cut them out and make a Triforce.

I have all green triangles. But the 'GameCube' text on my Tony Hawks 3 is indeed higher up than all my other games. Satanic indeed.

None of my US games have any triangles on them.

And yes, NTSC boxes have the black bit with 'Nintendo Gamecube' written on, on the opposite side of the spine to PAL ones.

Animal Crossing's NINTENDO GAMECUBE writing on the side of the box is at the opposite end from all my other games (can't remember if it's on the top and the rest are at the bottom or if it's at the bottom and they're all at the top).

I think that's something to do with it being NTSC, and the rest being PAL, though.

Well all but two of my games have green triangles. The other two are a kind of purply-pink.

If you look at the manuals, they have them too - have done ever since the original Game Boy (wouldn't suprise me if they had them in the days of the NES either).

Maybe it is some kind of colour code...I think I'll email Nintendo about it...
