I wish I had one of these honestly. That mint green color is beautiful lol
Still blown away how all this transpired, but honestly, I'm just happy it ended up in your hands, great stuff dude! 🙌
Tales of Symphonia is not only among my favourite games on the GameCube, it got me into the series and led me to look for other action JRPGs like it. I remember seeing this specific unit in magazines back in the day too, and how much I wanted it.
I remember in the early 2000s all this Nintendo oddball stuff was stupid cheap. N64 DD for like $50. I was getting paid just above minimum wage so I could never afford it and eat at the same time so I didn't bother. But I am glad I have a Panasonic Q. That's really is one of the coolest pieces I own. Thanks for sharing this!
This system's color is so elegant looking, I like it a lot. The jewel looks a little weird, but still looks so nice!
“If you like when..?” Yes we do Adam, just keep cranking videos out, we will like them and watch them. Happy holidays my dude.
Ah this is one of my most wanted console variants ngl. I'm a massive Tales of fan and I even own the Tales of Xillia ps3 but this one always eluded me
16:19 someone Franklin'd you into being a Shenmue fanboy, now you Shenmue'd Rob into being a Franklin fanboy 🐢
This gamecube along with the Char's red one are peak console variations!
I was LITERALLY watching the playlist (agian) and it updates with this new video,I was excited I'll tell you that. Great work as always!
The story of how you got the console was great. Rocker is cool for that.
in 2004~2005 I had a buddy who got a PAL version of this console, I didn't know it was so rare in france !
Nice Video Adam.
Always wanted this Gamecube!
I remember (when i got this game) i stayed up all day and night (without sleep) and completed the game in 2 days, also got my best friend into the series with Tales of Symphonia. He is a megafan now, getting all the games that came out.
(Tales of Phantasia had a Game Boy Advance port too.)
Fun Fact: On the Gamecube version in the Sylvearant base there is a Gamecube object in the rotating puzzle while there is a SONY logo in the other ports.
That's a cool looking console , I'm glad you have one man. The Tales of series is a good one!
Dude, you have a lot of great friends regarding all these rare variants that you've been getting over the years.
Also, Tales of Symphonia, as well as just the 'Tales of' series in general is a good game series. I only got to play the second one on the original Wii because that was the only one GameStop had in stock at the time, but still.
Adam isnt a JPRG player, but i am, and Symphonia is one of the best Tales games ive ever played! I play the PS3 version Symphonia Chronicals because it was cheaper to get.
Great story told by a great storyteller. Glad I found this channel
I always appreciate when you bring up Franklin the turtle in these videos.
I really like these types of episodes and the stories..bro dont stop
Hey Adam, the intro is for the Rare Variants Tales of Symphonia GameCube console, but the actual video is a Gamerade tutorial for how to clean a Sega Neptune :P
The best collector/gamer on UA-cam! ❤
This was a really interesting one and loved the story that you have the rare one. Very cool color would love to own this. I only have the platinum one. Great video.
Thanks for being the only place on the internet where discovering a new variant is a good thing.
Other people: Mario, Sonic, Blinx, Crash..
Adam: FRANKLIN.
That's cool man, I just ordered tales of arise for ps4. That'll be my first tales game I've played
Cool video. I'd love to get the Red Char Aznable themed Gamecube, that one's my favourite.
I see you are a man of culture as well.. 😏
So fun to see more in the Rare Variants series! Super cool of Rocker to give you a good deal on it. This is the most mystical Gamecube to me, and with the GCN being my favorite and first console of my own, this is the endgame of videogame collecting for me. Hope I can afford one some day. I'm not even into Tales, it's just that mint is one of my favorite colors lol.
3:03 there was a Tales game for the NES and even had a successful afternoon cartoon
*Tales of Duck,* duhh! 🦆
This is such a beautiful special edition console and bundle. I picked up a new one in box 3-4 years ago and still haven't decided if I want to region mod it.
Nice colour scheme, I love that it has a matching GameBoy addon. I never said this but knew this, it must be tradition for Nintendo for putting an expansion bay under the console
That's one nice looking GameCube!
Great video. I have a lot of tales games. Phantasia originally on Super Famicom never got released on snes. Later an English conversion was done and it was ported to Gameboy Advance.
Merry Christmas 🎄
That was neat. I wish I would just randomly run into something rare. Thanks for the video Adam.
Another awesome video 👍
The Tales of Symphonia manga also only got a Japanese and French release, France must really like that series I guess
Nice vid man, new sub 👍
Man, I love this game so much. One of the best rpgs of all time. The lime green color is really nice looking as well
Pretty insane how you got it. Still very cool though. When I was little I would just get whatever console my parents would get for me. Now that I can afford it, I always look for the variant that I like the most. Almost none of my newer consoles is the regular version, and I love it. I even went back a few generations and got some cool variants. As of now, I have, a GOW PS4 pro, a Gears of War Xbox one S (both are GOW loll), Blue Hello Kitty Dreamcast, Fire Orange N64, and a Transparent Super NT. That is just the cool variants, current gen I have a PS5 disc ver
Oh and Adam.. I'll have to look through your videos, but if you haven't, I'd love you to cover any weird adapters/addons for the GC, including the Gameboy adapter. I never seen it before, so this video wow'ed me on multiple levels.
Um, what exactly do you mean?
@@AdamKoralik Sorry if I wasn't clear. I guess I could have looked it up before I asked. I was wondering essentially if anything was released in say Japan only that connected to the bottom of the console besides the gameboy player or ethernet adapter?
@@lmotaku Oh, not to my knowledge.
I just got this game in the mail. Now I have to add this console to my list of future purchases. Thanks Adam for reminding me why I have no monies, but this I must have. 😍
"the rare *Tales of Vesperia* gamecube" well I can notice you are a Xbox fan just by that confusion lol, also Tales of Vesperia history as a Xbox 360 exclusive is interesting too, for many people what Symphonia was on the Gamecube was Vesperia on the 360
Absolutely love the color of this GameCube.
I love this rare variants series
Adam question. I remember in the sixth generation video the GameCube high definition modes were disabled in the PAL consoles. So I can make a PAL GameCube region free by just changing the disc drive? I was under the assumption that the high definition mode was software locked. I would really be interested in your info on the matter. Have you seen the XBOX documentary on UA-cam yet? Enjoy your content.
The hardware isn't the problem, the software is. The PAL versions simply don't have the progression scan code in them. You can get around this if you have Swiss installed, but that's a whole different thing.
@@AdamKoralik Ok I understand now. Thanks, Jeff
Franklin is a Canadian tv show for kids. And that game was probably voiced in Quebec ans made for the french market
Man i wish I had this gamecube so pretty love the game!
I have the Hudson remake of PC Genjin, but never thought about what other games might have come out in the series. Might have to Google it later. 🤔 Hopefully there is a remix version of Nuts & Milk. 😮
There's only four, that isn't one of them.
What is your syndesmology? You have nice picture quality
I really like the video and it shows how lucky you are at finding rare stuff hehe even rarer than you thought
About 12-13 years ago I saw one for sale in a retro gaming store in Lyon, France, I think for like 150 euros. Didn't though of picking it up back then...
Happens to all of us unfortunately. :/
FYI theres a star soldier for the n64 i love it to death but sadly still cant find a nice copy of it :C id love to play it again though
I'd love to get my hands on the PAL version of this. At least I have my Tales of Xillia theme PS3.
Wow the value of these really exploded. I picked UP my Japanese one CIB w/ controller for $300 from eBay like 2 years ago.
Oddly enough my favourite Tales game is Tales of Eternia on the PsP.. Japan allways has the cool hardware. That one is awesome man
I'd like one of those lagoon blue controllers.
I really should get a Wavebird too.
I was literally just looking at a listing for one of these. But it was strangely yellowed. Like one picture showed the lid open and you can see the greenish color but the outside was significantly darker. It didn’t even look that weird green. I can’t even describe it from memory, but it looked terrible .
Would you mind sharing how you had that playing on the portable monitor, is it a cdmi to mini cdmi converter to plug it in?
Just a GCHD that allows HDMI output of the cube, nothing all that special.
I see you got the GOAT in that thumbnail...
Only confusion I have is I didn’t think any PAL GameCubes had digital out ports
The hardware is there, it's the PAL versions of the software that is the problem.
Hey Adam, I got a copy of shenmue on dreamcast and the first disc refuses to load, even when I turn it upside down. The closest I get is a screen that says loading but there is not advancement
Your Dreamcast might need a laser tweaking. Do you have another console to test it on?
Any idea why the controller is sought after by the Smash community?
Not really, maybe they just love mints.
So weird to see french content on a English vidéo 😅.
Tales of Symphonia is the first game of the franchise to be release in Europe so it was a big event for JRPG fan (on the same time with also got our first Dragon Quest release with DQ8, thank's to Ubisoft who localise the game). and Namco do good stuff, TOS was translate and localise for the main country of Europe (English, German, French, Italian and Spanish).
You talk about buy Franklin in Paris, it has a good chance than that was at République, where a lot of retrogaming shop are establish here.
Yep, Republique.
I have a launch day tales of Symphonia... 100%'d that twice and did a few any percents... Great game
Hey I've been meaning to ask, is Jesterpezz the same modder who fixed your iPod, or was that another one??
Yes.
This game made me love the Tales of series. The stripped, but GREAT GC version of ToS was my baby. I played it hours and hours and played it religiously for some years. Especially since the new game plus aspects and devil arms and pendant sets you could get to the real Maxwell summon. My god I loved this game! Still have this game. I will never give it up.
You know how to get me excited.. in a PG13 way. ;) lol
Looks like you got a dead pixel in the top middle part of the screen.
not just a rear variant of GameCube. and also a matching Gameboy player attachment 🤯
So its a french-language Gamecube? maybe it should go on the next canada trip, lol! never heard of the franklin game but those are the weirdest ones, huh? you think it's just gonna be a cheap cash-in but actually winds up half-decent? I think wayforward did a smurfs game that wound up like that on the GBA or Wii or something. But that's a cool variant of the system although I don't know how I feel about spearmint green, haha.
When are we getting ShreXbox???
Look 👀 good bro 😎 Keep at it champ
Link to the playlist please 🙏🏽

@@AdamKoralik thanks and happy belated birthday! I missed the stream or video or whatever. Hope you had a good one.
11:12 that's obviously the BIOS for the Samsung Saturn, and it's even in a language Koreans understand
what a twist!
Wow, the Tales of Symphonia GameCube. What a treat, it looks so elegant and minty.
Not gonna lie, if I had one of these. I would replace the Tales of Symphonia jewel with a BIG custom jewel of a Chocolate Chip. Then I could say I have a Mint Chocolate Chip GameCube! 🤣😁
Wish I had the controller so I can show up to tournaments with a rare controller
Okay, we are getting closer. Almost to the Q.
Ya gotta good game their. Very nice.
So Franklin huh? Good to know....
8:44 And I thought I was the only one buying cheap GameCubes just for the original GC controller 😀
I wish my game boy player was the same color of my console. But I can't complain too much, there isn't too many gb players on Brazil, I found one with the boot disc and the black gb player looks ok with the silver game cube. At least my 4 wired controls and my wave bird are silver. XD
The green gba player should had come with tales of phantasia.
Interesting
"It could have had a low print run."
A Limited Run, you might say? 😉
I find this interesting as I've seen this once before but I thought someone had cosmetically modded it to look like that. I have an R2-D2 Gamecube that someone did that to it. I didn't know this Tales of Symphonia Gamecube is a legit thing!
I have Tales of Symphonia on the PS3
Only Gamecube I ever owned I got in 2002 and it was the black model with a matching game boy player also in black which I still own and play from time to time. I didn't play Tales of Symphonia until many years later on Steam and regret not picking it up in its original Gamecube run. Gamecube game prices these days are outrageous while PS2 and Xbox games aren't as crazy, Gamecube games get treated like works of art now, I don't understand why those games are so much more expensive? Especially when its a cross platform game on Xbox and PS2? Gamecube version is almost always way more money.
I picked up a copy for 45 the other day
Cool looking cube! It looks kinda green, just like turtles 😎
This is THE luigi console especialy because luigi mainson came out
Char GameCube is the best exclusive color variant style wise..
You mean black?
@@AdamKoralik I mean Char Aznable
I'm not a fan of the logo on top of the console. But I really like the color!
Nintendo is second corporation i respect from my heart there are classic 👍
killer vid
We need a tales of destiny port for the new systems.
"Tales Of Vesperia GameCube"
I paused both times
Misspeaking happens man.
Adam may be the most perfect example of 'I'm rich because I have freinds' in all of UA-cam. 😆
wut
Leaving a comment for the algorithm
I think your screen has a dead pixel.
I'm one of the very few who actually love the fact that Nintendo used cartridges with the N64. I absolutely hate CD based games. The GameCube made me lose interest in video games. Cartridges are easier to take care of in my opinion. But I like the different color variants of the GameCube releases. They look pretty cool.
Been after a Japanese one for a very long time
In a the samsung Saturn video u called yourself a super collector how come u have never done a video of ur collection apart from ur small collection of sega games in ur background
You're asking why I've never showed every single thing I own at all once?
I bought the game. Still never played it.
