That brown dev unit is a TDEV. It was used for game development courses in universities. It's similar to the NR Reader, except it can also connect to a computer for debugging and rapid development.
Bruh -_- like seriously.? I have 10 of those for sale 😑 you wana show off something rare? I got a Lamborghini Countach 88 V12. Now that's rare af. 😄 and game wise i got allot of rare PS3 games. 😄 anyways have a gud one. zwz
@@Base_Bass_Forte even if you had a countach. Theres like 2.5k of them. Theres way more rare cars. Hell you can get a saab 9-4x 1 of ~750, for like 10k.
Can't tell if you're a collector or not ,but from a non collector standpoint and using console variations this is a really solid list that's definitely pretty accurate. I do a lot of importing so I've encountered some of these I'd definitely like to grab a Panasonic Q and a Char GameCube at some point.
That Panasonic Q GC is sexy af! Have you ever seen the Japanese PS2 with an integrated dvr called the PSX? That thing is on my bucket list of consoles to own....
I bought one 7 years ago complete in box for $200 because gamecube has always been my favorite console. Little did I know I was purchasing a rare peice.
@@Jose-oj7vt shit, might be the time to sell it idk. SSBM is definitely something that still to this day can create buzz that will spike the prices of special cubes and controllers but aside from Mangos bday win for us older generation that had the game as kids idk what might cause it to shoot higher. Kinda wondering if Nintendo released a new edition with fully integrated online play and got the big titles that made sense to do so to add in support to the titles if it would sell enough to validate the cost. Doesn't sound like Nintendo tho, they are a nostalgia driven company that seems to hate nostalgia and anyone playing its older games.
@@pottyputter05 Well there’s also people like me (‘01) who grew up just after the GameCube but still have nostalgia for it from older cousins and the like. I’ve had one for a while but a few of my friends have recently decided to buy one. I’m sure if you give it another few years it’ll get another nostalgia boom again, Nintendo consoles always stay relevant long after they’ve stopped being sold.
@@SaddisticSpeller I think it might be the case now beacause their prices have exploded, i have seen some of them loose for sale on ebay for 50 euros and their controllers are getting hard to find locally.
I've never heard this. Only thing I ever heard/ read was before XBox they were actually talking about buying Sony as their entry into the games market. I believe Sony the parent company was in a bad place financially in the late 90s.
@@vincentthekeeper2163 Quite the opposite, late 90s/early 00s was when they were omnipresent in countless different tech markets from audio to TVs to cameras, and iirc they even had an entire chemical division around that time. It was the 10s when they (and tbh virtually everyone else as well, but I doubt I needed to tell you that) fell on hard financial times.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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$.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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 TH-cam watched in my life this is the first time I’ve ever commented. Felt like this little nugget of knowledge was worth sharing.
"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.
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 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 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.
My personal experience was that Jet Black and Silver were the most common GameCube variants. Purple was the media version but I didn’t know anyone who actually had that one.
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+
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.
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.
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'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
The crystal chronicles one coming with the gameboy player is strange given how the multiplayer in that game worked. Would have been cool if it had came with a different color gba cord
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.
There is a limited GameCube that you forgot :) The black model Metroid Prime made by Nintendo for an old French magazine. it was for a contest for the readers. Only 1 of 1 was made
You forgot to mention the fact that it has the flipper die on the faceplate for the ATI Flipper ones. That is amazing. Easily 5/5 as you said. Sad the IBM one didn't include the die of the CPU on the faceplate.
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.
That airport cube, "doesnt know if licensed", shows image of regular gamecube with off-centre obvious-sticker just whacked on the top with scratched holes..uh, yeah
This would be the generation when polygonal graphics were no longer blocky and primitive. Gone were the days of the pixelated wobble and warp effect that you got on the PlayStation 1, and gone were the days of the blurred graphics of the Nintendo 64. That generation was perfect.
Tip for the next video: You can sort eBay listings by "Sold" and see roughly what items were selling for. Otherwise it's just what people are asking for it right now.
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.
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
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!!
Watch out looking for the Hanshin Tigers GameCube. I did a lot of research on it, and because of that, I got push notifications when they play, and now I try and watch it online when I can.
I still wonder why so many 6th gen horror games became the most expensive games for each of the systems… was it because of a lack of interest in horror games at the time that so little were produced physically?
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...
The wild thing to me is that the faceplate price of Pokemon Gale of Darkness is about at the same price as the actual game. Its weird no matter how you think about it, if you think the game is over priced, or if you don't care about the faceplate even if its a rare item.

The wild thing to me is that the faceplate price of Pokemon Gale of Darkness is about at the same price as the actual game.
Its weird no matter how you think about it, if you think the game is over priced, or if you don't care about the faceplate even if its a rare item.
Awesome video, love the music choices to. Love to see more!
out of all of them the flipper one is my favorite because the chip itself is in the face plate and i like how they look
I got 3 GameCubes. Throughout the pandemic I've used one as a weight, tied the GameCube handle with rope to a bar to do forearm exercises.
Theres also a Metroid Prime Faceplate for GameCube, my Cube is the standard purple with Metroid Prime Faceplate.
1:50 I had no idea the purple console was even rare. I got it when it first came out, I just assumed they were all purple or grey
6:01 the dev kits look really cool I wish Nintendo made some with the same colors just for consumers
The dev kit ones are some of the coolest colors. It sucks they never saw a commercial release.
