Branding aside, the GameCube had:

  • four controller sockets built into the console
  • a media format with much lower capacity than the competition
  • a controller with one primary thumbstick and two primary face buttons.

These feel like vestigial N64 features

Edit: and three shoulder/trigger buttons!

Okay, actually now that you bring all that up, yeah! The controller is very different looking but functionally, even the C stick/C buttons are similar

Mayyybe.

IMO what sets the GameCube apart from anything else is its controller. Those asymetric buttons are unlike anything, including N64. Plus the weird analogic triggers.
