The Nintendo Switch if it was made in 2004
+Dank Submarinegold If the ports were on the bottom we could make a cube shaped docking system.
Dank Submarinegold
I'd rather have this than the switch
I have achieved something mum, I got top comment.
Top kek
hell yeah
This is definitely the best portable version of the game cube I seen so far
BeatboxHitmanTwo and probably the most expensive one
well I'm sure the Nintendo switch will be able to do this better tho
+Brandon 32204 :p
Brandon 32204 switch cannot be made at home because the nintendo company have a very special item inside of it
(maybe it's the device id)
I know right
I fucking love people like you. It really makes me think as to why nintendo or third partys working on different portable consoles haven't hired you yet. The farthest i've gotten to technology like this was when I was in my technology class and i was able to convert a TI-84 Calculator to play GameBoy Color games, and it took me several months.
I want a calculator that can play GB Color games
TheRaellz uh, no it isn't.
TheRaellz it’s not illegal if you use your own cartridges on the portable
@gamersinacontainer, true but these are obviously on an sd card and we have no proof of him owning any cartridges
This is probably the best custom I have ever seen in my life. If not its in the top 3
Zero Black damn straight son
Zero Black yes
Really nice modded Gamecube man, very nice. I would love one.
ProtoMario woahhh
BUT PROTO!
lol it's proto
Ikr?
Hi proto please notice me
Its like a gamecube with switch capabilities. I need that in my life forever.
Rumor says switch will be getting GameCube VC :)
i pray to the gaming gods that it will happen ;-;
Chuckman02
Pretty much every rumor regarding the Switch has ended up being true and the Switch is more than capable of emulating GC games :)
Nintendo has to be a different level of stupid if the Switch doesn't get GC and GBA vc
no analog triggers mate
BronzedMocha go buy the GameCube keyboard controller. Then mod it like the video.
This creation is legend.
Whoever did this... IS A GENIUS!!!
Legend27
the legend 27?
I tried to play Mario Kart but this one player keeps kicking my ass...

this... this is art.
You NEED to make a DIY instrution video on how to make this!
Its very complicated
It’s insanely complicated and takes months to make. This took him 10 months to make. It won’t happen
You should sell more of these. I would buy one in an instant.
Monokuma In the description it says it is being sold
DarkLink1980 it said it was sold
he said he should sell 'more' of these. As in multiple.
Monokuma selling "multiple" would be an easy way to get a cease and desist from Nintendo or get sued
I LOVE this, man. So much care and love went into it, and it shows. Your craftmanship and attention to detail is superb. You should check out bitbuilt, the guys over there would love this!
Why, why in the love of GOD would destroy a gamecube keyboard? Are you insane?
Got the keyboard still here, 100% ok!
+soepschoen hey how much did you sold it for and if I'm able to afford can you make me one :D
how much would it be if you made another and sold it?
Luis Calderon same I would also like to know
Luis Calderon is this the Luis I know? It's Hunter!
meanwhile nintendo releases a worthless mini NES that can't be bought anywhere
mind blowing job on this handheld man
Dee Jaay literally the 2 have nothing to do with each other......
ScroogeMcSplooge Nintendo is a fuckjob
funny guy You're worthless ahahah
This can't be bought anywhere either, at least, not for a decent price
Holy crap that breakout box and that whole feature set is the MOST AMAZING THING Ive ever seen in my life! Holy crap id donate a kidney to have this thing!
HaiKaiDo TaiKetChi What about the Nintendo Switch? It's almost ready to be released.
Patrick Ragland wouldnt you wanna bring this thing to smash locals?
Rebel3000 You mean multiplayer Smash Bros on this Varia Cube? I don't know if it supports multiplayer, but the Switch will; Each joycon is an individual controller for Smash.
+Patrick Ragland no smash yet
The fact that you tore down an ascii keyboard controller is honestly gut wrenching
You are a genius, this is the coolest gamecube portable I have ever seen!
I LOVE how the portable's video feed turns green when outputting to component. Gives it the "green visor" look of the Varia suit. No corners cut here -- this build really is Metroid to the bone! Sweet.
The craftsmanship is amazing. Most others I've seen are nowhere near as clean as this. It looks like it was made by Nintendo themselves. I will say the one thing I noticed is that the fan is rather loud.
Probly the best custom handheld system I have ever seen the finish is very good
i wish this thing actually exsisted because that would be so awesome
NovaBlast4455 Plays it does. in some lucky bastards house.
Amazing job you did with that. So detailed. I'll admit, I think it would be even cooler if it could actually play the original GC discs, but I understand that would probably not be very viable in a custom handheld device. I would imagine it would really take up a lot of hardware space as well. Thanks for demonstrating this.
Some Gman-modz GC portables and some Hailraiser GC portables have actual disc drives , hell even a nice one made by BEN HECK ,,, 😸
that system came out beautifully great job
The color combo has a very 90s feel to it. I like it
I wouldn't sell that for any price.
well you can buy it off me send me a real offer for it to obr6837@outlook.com then you can have it for ever this is your one and only chance to buy it beause there is only one in the whole world
I have uploaded more photos of it here www.ebay.com/itm/182453601027?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
Wut is up my dudes! I am Shigeru Miyamoto, I have early access Nintendo Switch for sale, only 12 thousand dolla, 100% legit
sorry I paid over 3000 euros for It and I won't sell it for any less that what i paid for it you should save up for a Nintendo Switch and hope it has gamecube VC but I can tell you the Vera cube is still going to be a lot better than Nintendo Switch
The D pad works now the only issue with the screen was that the screen flickkers in 480i but 480i always flickkers the flickering is completely gone in 480p. Anyway I am not going to sell it for less than $3000 USD so I am just going to keep it unless someone offers me a crazy amount for it
Literally the only way I can see this being made any better is if the controller ports were integrated into the main device and the device had HDMI out. This is still beautiful and amazing, I'm in awe.
_now put it inside a regular sized GameCube controller_
The C-stick is replaced with a regular thumb stick. TRIGGERED
(I play claw grip and this disturbs me)
if the Nintendo Switch was released in 2001
Love how modders have been building the functional equivalent of the Switch for years now...
Is that a real GameCube in there?
YES!
watch a gamecube take apart you'll be amazed how much nothing is really in there
MemeScreen no
It probably uses an emulator, sorry if it is just cumbersome with such a late reply.
Nope, original GC motherboard. Read the description.
The best portable gamecube ever! If you see other ports, they dont have a big ass screen, and they dont have the sculpt of the controller so you can hold it nice and comfortable, this guy beats all of them
Looks like he hates metroid.

Great job man. Just that. You deserve to be congratulated for that little frankenstain you created.
This is simply A-WE-SO-ME. IS THE BEST construction i have ever seen on my life. Very very good work.
I'll win EVO with this
You wont make it out of pools with armadas controller
This is how the Nintendo switch should’ve been like . You’re one smart man
Are you making anymore of these?
KenGreenmanFTW I wanna know
KenGreenmanFTW no one of a kind he said
but not strange for a gamer to say
Amazing! I love that you put a way to play on the TV and have more controllers! That is what everyone else is missing on their portable wiis. Really great job!
would literally pay $750 for this -.- you would make about $113.45 in profit or €103.37
Eclapsed Considering the cost of labor for this, that's not at all worth it.
Eclapsed If you like this that much, you should seriously check out the Nintendo Switch. It should only cost around $300 when it's released.
***** Is the Switch the reason why you have NVIDIA as your profile picture? 😂
He wouldn't make that much in profit if you count the work hours. This would cost more like several grand if sold for a fair price.
This is insanely cool. Using the shell of the ASCII controller is such a fantastic idea!
time to change my boxers.
Part of my soul died when I saw **This item is sold** in the description
please make these and sell on ebay or Amazon i will pay for a yoshi theme one with shrine sprites
>shine
hah lol (I'm sorry :( )
It costs around €570 and with the work he put in it would probably cost 800
Twilight princess one for me
Seriously though that is the coolest handheld, no, emulator I've seen in my life. Wow. Amazing job, high quality
But does it come with a toaster?
Chack and mate
sleight sloth You lying bastard I never got my potato
Smoothest looking custom I've ever seen. Looks like something Nintendo would actually make, and I dig the whole Samus color stuff too. Great work dude, you earned my sub!
Nintendo Switch: GCN Edition
Aso, It sgood to FINALLY see someone else other than bacteria still making console portables! Subscribed!
To be honest, you could make a living off of selling these.
Oh. It runs SWISS. That's pretty cool. Yay for homebrew.
Why did you keep telling us not to use the blue port as a VGA port? It's not like we have one...
It's not supposed to be used as a VGA monitor connector. The breakout box he modded uses a VGA plug.
I know it's not a VGA port, but it just seemed like he repeated it many times in the video.
Wow the new Nintendo Switch looks super good!
How's the battery life?
this is beautiful. I wish I had one. Its so high quality and beautiful not to mention Metroid is one of my favorite series
gamecube switch
This is one of the more cleaner portables I've seen
the real GameCube itself is more portable than this
Henri yeah just don't forget to pack your tv and a Petroleum generator
Ohhhhhhh, you dunked that bitch hard.
+eoiny 224 hahahahah... its henri's way to tell his admiration...
eoiny 224 He talking about the handlebars that Nintendo decide to put on the GameCube for portability. That an old joke by OG gamers
Gamecube code name nintendo briefcase
I'm drooling at how awesome this thing is!
i like the new nintendo switch kappa
the thumbnail makes it look huuuge, but then when i watch, it's actually a good size! good build there
This is truly incredible, I would love to see it in the classic GameCube purple and yellow colors
bruh i ve seen alot of console mods, from nes to xbox 360, and im an uprising modder/engineer. This is by far the best thing i ve ever seen. I wish i can make something like this in the future
very nice best gamecube modified hand held I've seen so far
I had dreams about this thing as a kid in 2002. I always knew they could do it.
This is pure insanity. Well done man that looks great.
-is portable
-has melee
PERFECT
That thing is somehow both hideous and awesome at the same time. Bravo.
That's impressive for multiple reasons.
You need to make more of these! I would pay quite a bit for one of these. Very impressive work!
"O miserável é um gênio"
Vegeta, Príncipe.
That's really cool. Reminds me of an article I saw in EGM way way back about a guy that made handheld versions of the PS2 and Gamecube
*Tears in eyes* IT'S BEAUTIFUL!!
This is probably the best gc custom I've ever seen! So fucking sick!
Man if i had the money and if i was to guess the price on how much you sold it is probably $1000 to $1500, which to me is a fair price for such an awsome build quality product you did there.
Hi everyone I am the owner of the The Varia Cube Gamecube Portable and I am selling It the fist person to email me with a real offer for it can have It I have taken lots of photos to prove I own It I can send you the photos through a email
my email is obr6837@outlook.com send me an offer through a email and I can send you the photos I only accept paypal
huge af but it's probably the most comfortable portable GameCube out there
Man, this thing would go for a very high price if it's one of a kind even if it's home custom made.
one of the few gamecube mods i've seen, that looks nice
I wouldn’t buy this because I can just buy a switch and home brew the one I have to play GameCube games. Might not be the best solution but this costed nearly 600 whatever currency it is and a switch is half that price. I mean it works/look awesome and is amazing. Nice job on this.
580€ is a huge price but it looks perfect!!! congratulation!
I could picture a different version of the joycons having similar handles like this
The switch looks amazing!
Gamecube handheld metroid prime or portable gamecube metroid theme so we could find your video easier, greetings, nice job 👍🏼
Beautiful product and design
wow that waveland dash dance to nair was sick
it looks like a official product thats nuts
Imagine showing up to a tournament and playing final destination no items fox only
I have to say this is amassing, I may have to try to make something similar if I ever get my makerarm.
Dude! That is one of the coolest things I have ever seen. Amazing Job!
The legend 27 revealed.
Only thing with all these portables is the fact that the cooling fans used to run them are all very loud. This would not be suitable in situations where people complain about noise all the time, especially in a car. Very cool portable otherwise, and probably the best one I've seen out of all the ones I've looked at from other TH-camrs.
This is amazing!!!... glad to see Nintendo is finally making the console that everyone wants with the Nintendo switch, one that goes anywhere with you and is the full console experience and not a dumbed down version
Imagine playing Super Mario Sunshine or Luigi's Mansion on this. I NEED IT.
dude that definitely has better controls then the wii pad
This is beautifully made nice job sir!
Honestly, this should definitely be upgraded to a Wii portable some time in the future.
We already have the ashida. Pretty much just the better version of this.
man u r a genius bro u made a masterpiece of tec i really like it
A gamecube that functions he same as a switch? You're a God! You must make a tutorial!
this is incredible, very good work
sweet Akira and Metroid rips
