Gamecubes are mad cool. The fact you could get different colors or faceplates was really neat, now your system comes with its colors and your stuck with them.
@@Simon-xi7lb By 'decals' I don't just mean one's that are put onto the standard console after purchase. The Xbox Series X has a "Halo Limited Edition," with a unique design printed on, for example
I bought the platinum back when it was limited edition because it matched with my platinum gameboy advance they released a year back for some anniversary or something. At least it was nice that the original platinum had the composite cable option compared to its later very mass produced brethren that got rid of it. Both are beat to hell now, but at least the disc drive still works a decade later.
This was cool and I appreciate the effort to go further than what other click baity outlets do, because I mean sure if you encase pretty much anything in gold and jewels it becomes valuable and rare.
If anyone wants to know the plush that was at 1:37, it was made by a custom plush maker by Anubis Studios. She has it for sale on her website! Please check her out if you want to buy one!
Fun fact: Despite its seemingly clear-cut moniker, the GameCube is really a "Cube" in name only. Though its width and length do manage to get close at 5.9 inches and 6.3 inches respectively, its height is over an inch smaller at 4.3. Technically speaking, this would make it really more akin to a "Game rectangle," though this name doesn't exactly roll off the tongue...
Ah but you forget that rectangle was not always a concept, rectangles used to be only long squares thus long cubes thus why a 3d "rectangle" is actually cuboid. Rect = right Angle= angle Because both squares and "long squares" have right angles.
I bought 3 Panasonic GameCubes. 2 of them had bad disc trays. I bought a 3rd one with the remote and a controller. It is my go to DVD player because it is the only DVD player that fixes the sound balancing in the Matrix movies. I did repair 1 of the broken GameCubes. The other one is having some issues. Great machine for DVDs.
very cool vid! the green and red ones are really sick, kinda hope they end up doing some like that for like the ps5 or something. I really hope you do another video like this, maybe for the ps2? the best selling console must have some super cool variants.
I remember when I was a kid that they had those Panasonic GameCubes at hotels as the complimentary DVD player in the room. I just had a nostalgic flashback when I saw that you mentioned it.
Fun subject. I'd be interested in a N64 version. They made a lot of retail versions of that one. My daughters favorite was the Pokémon release. I always thought they should have done more versions of the GameCube. I guess it just didn't sell like the N64 did.
I always beat myself up because when I went to buy a PSP, I wasn't convinced to spend like 40 euros more for a version which is now rare. I really need to learn from this.
Absolutely great video, never knew this many variations existed for the gamecube. The original xbox had quite the rabbit hole of really niche unusual variants as well but those were the only Ones I'd ever dug deeper into.
I still have my platinum from launch. It’s crazy I remember getting the purple one but the disc reader was broken so we had to exchange it the next day and the “limited edition” platinum was the only one left!
My favorite variant is the Pikmin 2 Bundle, not for really having a special GameCube, but what it came with. It had a nicely colored GameCube controller, Pikmin 2, and a Purple Pikmin Plush to top things off.
I kinda regret not getting that 100 dollar late into the generation game cubes . It was before the wii came out . And it had all a poster with all colored GameCubes and I remember the orange being at the the front and it said ONLY 99$.
It's interesting that Panasonic had one that could play DVDs. Cause technically the regular GameCube can too. Nintendo just wanted to use their small discs to avoid paying fees for using DVDs.
The golden GameCubes were available in the US. I won one at the Nintendo mall tour by playing in a 1080 Avalanche competition. I no longer have it but it does exist.
New viewer, first video I've seen. Love the gamecube, would love to see any and all gamecubd related content. I knew about 90% of these but a few surprised me so you've done better than the articles!
I personally have a white gamecube that I swapped a us board into. I love it. It stands out well in the sea of white, black and greys of other consoles. Its a really nice pearl color.
Mine was platinum :) definitely my favorite looking console I've ever had. I got it for Christmas. I played the absolute fuck out of Tony Hawk 4 and Super Mario Sunshine. I would love to get one again to play Mario Sunshine again but I definitely dont have 200 or 300 extra bucks. And I think the Panasonic ones look super bad ass, I dont understand why people hate them so much.
So glad you mentioned the prototypes at the end, very interesting stuff! There is also a Pokemon Gamecube that came with custom stickers, changing the design of the thing in incredible ways! Anyways, thanks for the video and all the research you did, I enjoyed it :)
Another one to look into- the university of Washington communications major building has a plaque inside commemorating a time capsule given to the school in 2001 by Nintendo of America that was to be opened 50 years later. Could be nothing or a rare one off GameCube of some kind. Also I have probably 10,000 hours of UA-cam watched in my life this is the first time I’ve ever commented. Felt like this little nugget of knowledge was worth sharing.
nice vid. I'm rocking just the jet black Gamecube with the Gameboy Player. I'd not heard of a lot of these other variants like the MTV Gamecube or the Gold Variants... Still get quite a bit of enjoyment out of mine with the Gameboy Player...
Wow I didn't even know about these man. I thought you would talk about wacky GameCube games and not the GameCube itself that's pretty dope though still man!!
As someone who collects Gameboy Colors, I've always looked at those one-off contest/raffle releases as not being genuine releases, same goes with consoles that were made with the intention of specifically being given to companies for internal/commercial use. Theres quite a bit in the gameboy world and they fetch a pretty penny, I cant justify spending thousands of dollars for a regular retail release console that a company/event organizers just paint/plaster a logo on.
My main GC is the spice orange one (my favourite colour) which I can only assume was region swapped because the guy I bought it off claimed it ran PAL and sure enough, it does. I love it and it's the crown jewel of my collection.
I’ve seen a few in the UK, so I have to imagine they did receive a limited release in Europe… one of them was someone at school who definitely knew zero about modding, but maybe it was just a case swap from a PAL Cube his dad did or something.
I just feel like they don´t put any real effort into those limited editions anymore. Remember the Pikachu N64... THAT is something worth being a limited edition!
i'd LOVE to see one of these on the rarer original nintendo 3DS colours. i have one of the north american midnight purples, and it's probably my favourite handheld i've owned, just because the colour is so pretty
Very well done video. My gamecube is my gaming rig, having sd support without anything crazy being done with it and being able to play all my favorite games without any issues.
I swear that Platinum one is a thousand times more common than the Purple one around here. I've only seen a Purple one in person once. I've seen dozens of the Platinum one.
"Flipper" was the name of a classic television show here in the USA. The main character was an actual real live dolphin. Yes, the development name of the NGC was "Dolphin," but the chip was named "Flipper" after the TV show.
I remember a long time ago i got a gamecube for $30 since my original one was gone. Turned out to be a limited edition zelda gamecube that goes for $200+
It should be noted that the NPDP reader is more interesting than this video lets on, and the reason lies in that port on top. Rather than using optical discs like a consumer GameCube, the NPDP reader, as its name suggests, uses NPDPs, which are essentially 6 GB hard drives in the form of a cartridge, allowing for up to four GameCube games to be stored on one cartridge. If you're wondering, NPDP stands for Nintendo Portable Drive Pak from what I could gather. There's an earlier prototype model called the NPDP-GDEV which uses these things as well. As for NR, it seems like that means Not Retail, since NR discs can't be read on a consumer GameCube.
i’ve seen the hansin tigers and types of symphony gamecubes at a retro game store before and they both look insanely nice. the sea foam green was just *chefs kiss* it looked so good
The Orange was commercially available in NA. I saw the Orange Version in 2 different stores back in 2003 Ohio. That said I wish the Pink Cube actually happened like the other 4 Common Colors (Purple, Black, Orange, & Platinum) & that more official colors were released. Could you imagine how cool a Turquoise GameCube would have been? It was fun seeing your video on rare special edition GameCubes, a console I have much nostalgia for.
The purple GameCube on my desk right now is staring at me…menacingly.
