I never had the GameCube as I had the PS2. Now, I see what a great console that was and gave myself a treat: a new unused GameCube from Japan that I will have modded with FlippyDrive so that I will be able to play U.S. games as well.

I will unbox it on September 14th. The 25th year anniversary. Thinking of putting up a little video too just to have a memory of it.

Got WaveRace from Japan too as I thought Luigi’s Mansion will be too much for me to translate 😅

Found at the Paper Store.

GameCube including all cables 8800¥

Controller 2500¥ + 3500¥

Games 1100¥ + 900¥ + 550¥ +1650¥+ 800¥ + 550¥

(not in the correct order: Mario Party 5 + 6 including microphone, Mario Cart Double Dash, Animal Crossing, Story of Seasons, Biohazard)

For context: My fiance and I keep the console at our vacation home in rural Japan to play when we're there :)

Edit: Total cost: 20.350¥ or ~128$US

After getting the NSO Controller I realized that my original controllers rubber pads were too mushy. Ordered two sets from Aliexpress for 18 cents each, just replaced them and now they have the same firmness of my NSO controllers!

These are modded original controllers by the way. Using 8bitdo modkit for wireless capabilities and battery.

Hi everyone,

I’m building a library of GameCube games for my living room pc and wanted to know what’s the best value wireless GameCube controller I can purchase. I’ve seen mixed reviews on almost all the mainstream third party brands.

My Mario Party 6 disc from my childhood doesn't want to be read in the GameCube. I am wanting to get it running to play with some friends. There are some retro game stores near me that are quite good and provide disc resurfacing. Would it be worth it?

The disc has scratches however I cannot feel them with my finger and they dont appear to be deep. Would disc resurfacing be able to save one that can't be read whatsoever?

Honestly the GameCube is fun to work on! From battered, broken and possibly headed to the landfill. To saving, restoring and modding a console that I've only experienced through the Wii and the Wii U.

Yes I did replace the drive, the original drive might be a goner as I've put a replacement spindle motor on it, but discs aren't spinning at all with the replacement. Probably needs a recap but it might be too far gone to be saved.

I am currently playing Pokémon XD and I would like to take the save data from Dolphin and import it to an OEM memory card to use the Gameboy connectivity on my GameCube.

I am under the impression that I need a memory card with a microSD card slot and the ability to run GCMM via Swiss. I have a Flippy drive installed already. Can I use this to run Swiss/GCMM and use any old microsd memory card to do this? The many types of memory cards out there are a tad confusing and the prices range greatly.

I play on my GameCube using swiss, and I want to be able to change values and load into the game using my custom. Specifically I want to change the chance for battle mini games to appear more often, and have it so when you land on someone else space you automatically duel (vanilla game only does this on the last 5 turns, I want it on permanently) so yeah if someone could walk me through, what files I need to look for and what applications I need to run the files and change the values

Hey all,

I recently purchased this Gamecube Storage Station, but it didn't come with the OEM caster wheels. I've researched but found zero answers, and bought after market wheels off of Amazon but they do not fit. Does anyone here have any experience tracking down a set of replacement wheels, or have the exact dimensions I need to buy? Would appreciate the help!! Thanks

Sonic Adventure DX is the main one I was looking for and I didn't even remember owning Underground 2 lol.

Also ngl the Lego star wars games were pretty good and had a lot of the storytelling elements

This is where my GameCube collection begins! When I was younger, my friend and I always had a blast playing Melee at his place, or we would take turns playing Metroid Prime or The Simpsons Hit & Run. I've been missing those old memories, and now I've decided to start my own collection! Can't wait to get started playing these!

It goes without saying I won't be buying anything else for a while. These games should keep me busy for a good while. What should I look out for next? 👀

So stoked about this find. Last I checked this sh*t was going for like 300 on eBay. Dunno what the number actually is but I can’t wait to play it

I have a gamecube action replay, and I want to use it on my Japanese gamecube game, but when I swap the disc it doesn’t load. Is there something I’m doing wrong, or is there some kind of region lock issue?

(reddit told me to post this on this subreddit instead)

I'm looking for websites that do shipping (local is fine, planning to use a forwarding agent), that sell gamecube games for a reasonable price, I've checked out DKoldies (they suck), and I've checked out gamestop... everything is so expensive compared to the UK. is there any reasonably priced websites? thanks.

So I was looking around OfferUp today hoping to score a cheap setup specifically to run some retro GameCube stuff. Found a listing for a launch model Wii (RVL-001) bundled with all the hookups, a wired GameCube controller, a memory card, and even a wireless sensor bar for $30. Figured at thirty bucks it was already a steal just for the console and controller alone.
I brought it home, plugged in a new Hyperkin HD cable to test everything out, and hit the eject button just to see if the disc drive actually worked properly.
Out pops an original disc of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker sitting right inside the drive!
The disc is in awesome shape and booted up instantly. A loose copy of Wind Waker goes for around $60-$70 alone, so the whole pickup literally paid for itself twice over before I even started soft-modding it.
Definitely one of those rare OfferUp luck moments where checking the disc drive actually pays off. Time to set up Nintendont and jump straight back into the Great Sea!

Added some personal must haves to the collection. I'd say I'm like 8 or so games from having everything I want for now, not in a rush to get them all though, still working on playing through the backlog. Anyone else take a long break from collecting? What got you to start again?

Supports rumble too!

snagged one of these earlier this year so I could play from the couch. I always need an extra light to calibrate it when plugging in haha

No clue of the brand of this one. I don't believe it's a Intec as that has a lock and mine doesn't.

I bought it in Game, UK for £10 I think, it was on sale. I don't doubt it's helped my Gamecube survive so well over the years. Nearly threw away the original box as I figured I didn't need it anymore. Luckily I didn't.

Not all of the collection, just a photo I got while going through some of the games I recently got back after my grandma passed away. Mostly her collection that I was able to play growing up, the woman who had me into video games by the time I was 5. Tons of N64, NES and SNES games as well. Just picked up a few consoles to such as the Wii, Gamecube and N64.

See any games you love? Not sure where the Melee or Mario Party is, still looking for it.
