== History of the GameCube and Wii GPUs == '''Warning''': The source of the following info is a Discord message that Techflash wrote based on his memory of various other sources, so it might not be 100% accurate. the development of the Flipper and Hollywood is actually kind of a funny story<br> Nintendo contracted SGI to make the graphics for the N64, as is very well known<br> there was a specific division in SGI to handle it, it was such a big deal, iirc the "Nintendo Operations Division"?<br> a bunch of the employees from that division spun off into their own company, ArtX Inc<br> Nintendo contracted ArtX Inc to design the GPU for the GameCube, however, only a year before the launch of the GameCube, ArtX got acquired by ATI<br> that's how the GameCube got the ATI branding, because ATI was now the parent company of ArtX - technically, the GPU wasn't designed by ATI, and has no relation whatsoever to any ATI Radeon GPU
