The shocking fact that 'young gamers don't know that GameCube is a game console' was highlighted by the game 'Unpacking Unpacking ' released by Australian game company Witch Beam Games in November 2021. Unpacking is a 'unpacking puzzle game' where you take various things out of the box and place them in your house, and the theme is to unpack the belongings of various people and touch their lives.

Unpacking is a play method in which furniture, daily necessities, play equipment, etc. are taken out of the box and placed in an appropriate place by moving or rotating. If you have improper placement such as 'there is a plate' or 'all are placed directly on the floor', you will not be able to proceed to the next section. Each item is represented by a very elaborate pixel art, and it is said that 14,000 kinds of audio files that sound when the item is lifted or placed are prepared.

However, the 'blue cube item' that appears in the game is bothering multiple young gamers, and SNS posts asking for help, 'What is this?' This is a post from a user who was actually stuck in an unpacking strategy.




Pixel art has a unique shape, handle, and part to insert the upper disc, and if you know it, you can tell at a glance that it is a 'GameCube', but for young gamers who are not the active generation of GameCube Does not seem to come with a pin. Witch Beam Games founder Sanatana Mishra shared a screenshot of the tweet, saying, 'Do you remember any memes that make you feel old or weak? Enjoy this tweet. I'm dead.' I am.



The GameCube was released in Japan and North America in 2001, 20 years ago from the time the article was created, and the successor Wii appeared in 2006, 15 years ago. Many college students were not born at the time of GameCube's appearance, and considering that the modern high school first grader was born just around the time when the successor Wii appeared, young gamers knew about GameCube. No wonder it isn't there.

Wren Brier, creative director of Unpacking, told foreign media Polygon, 'We received a bunch of messages asking what it was!' 'It seems to be some kind of appliance. The console was often placed in the kitchen in the screenshots sent to me. '
