Nintendo's GameCube launched nineteen years ago today on November 18th, so to celebrate this arbitrary anniversary, we took a look back at the most cringey thing Nintendo may have ever done.

To launch this console in 2001, they hosted a red carpet Hollywood event, bringing out popular and random celebrities from that time to play the GameCube and take embarrassing photos holding it by its dumb little handle.

This was clout chasing at its worst. Just unabashed celebrity worship for the sake of promoting a console that never amounted to much.

If Mr. Nintendo was alive back then to see this, he would have committed seppuku.
