Sega Triforce

The Triforce is an arcade system board developed jointly by Namco, Sega, and Nintendo, with the first games appearing in 2002. The name “Triforce” is a reference to Nintendo’s Legend of Zelda series of games, and symbolized the three companies’ involvement in the project. The system hardware is based on the Nintendo GameCube with several differences, like provisions for add-ons such as Sega’s GD-ROM system and upgradeable RAM modules.
