Twitter user Exoskellet recently shared two screenshots of their Nintendo GameCube mech fromArmored Core 6. The GameCube mech shares an uncanny similarity to the sixth-gen Nintendo console, with what appears to be the exact shade of purple as the console’s primary color. Exoskellet’s mech uses the Nintendo GameCube text shown on top of the console rather than the logo shared by another creator. Under a central black circle is a decal that looks like the GameCube’s power light. The chest of the mech has what appears to be fourGameCube controllerports with their corresponding indicators and memory card slots underneath.
Based on their screenshots, it seems like Exoskellet has adjusted eachArmored Core 6mech part for their build. This would involve theplayer going through the head, core, arms, arms units, legs, back units, generator, booster, FCS, and expansion options to get the right aesthetic. Although it’s missing the reset, power, and open buttons of the GameCube, Exoskellet’s mech otherwise represents a combat-ready Nintendo console. Nintendo fans who also want their mechs to look like a GameCube can download the design through Exoskellet’sArmored Core 6Share ID. Because Exoskellet’s mech is already designed to resemble a Nintendo GameCube, the color could easily be swapped to black, silver, or orange to look like other versions of the console.
Based on their attention to detail, it’s likely that Exoskellet spent some time customizing their mech to look as akin to the GameCube as it does. As gamers continue to create impressiveArmored Core 6mechs, future ones may highlight other consoles like the Super Nintendo or N64.
Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubiconis available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
