Wii: Gamecube did have an official RGB cable #293

The Wii article states: "On the other side, Nintendo finally shipped a SCART cable (as an extra accessory) which finally makes use of the RGB lines (remember they were ignored since the times of the SNES)."

This is untrue, the Gamecube did have an RGB SCART cable, part number DOL-013, available as an accessory. I have one, and an example eBay listing is https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/256525201814. AIUI it isn't compatible with a stock PAL SNES, although it apparently will work with a Super Famicom, but I have neither to check.
