I thought it's be fun to talk about some "rariant" game consoles. In this one, the Japanese Orange Spice Nintendo GameCube. I'll be discussing the history, some-what of a review, and my experience with it.

I wish we got some translucent colored GameCubes like we did with the N64.
"right at launch, we got the purple and black gamecube." ahem...indigo.

+AdamKoralik I consider it "violet" if we are being pedantic, was it violet in japan and indigo in west? It is purple either way and it was and is a cool colour to launch a console in.

Ruben Brugel at my local game store, i see them in a glass vault, for $49.99.
Wow, I did not know until now that the Japanese consoles didn't have a barcode serial number on the bottom! I own a Japanese GC and figured it was just missing the serial number because someone at one point pulled it off.
yep i still watch you, great vids. it was only one year ago =)

I remember getting my GameCube at goodwill for $20 and it still works perfectly! I saw them at lots of garage sales for like $10 but never bothered to get another one. Now that they are worth like $60+ now, I wish I would have gotten a couple for backups. I don’t really like playing GameCube games on the Wii though. The GameCube has the ports in the front and is more convenient to play. With the Wii, you have to aim your Wiimote to even start the game. I have a Wii as well, but only play GameCube on GameCube console. Also I don’t like how expensive GameCube games are becoming. I prefer to get games on GameCube vs. PS2, because I like the GameCube better and I don’t really know, just better on GameCube. GameCube games are twice more than the PS2 version on EBay and it is annoying to pay so much more, just because I would rather have it for the GameCube. Great video and very Imformative!

I feel the same i just dont like the ps2 near as much as the gamecube or even the OG xbox so i wanna play it on the gamecube but that crap is just really expensive on it
Still waitin' on that Scary Spice GameCube ....
i miss when nintendo gave us many color options to choose from out of there consoles now adays they only give us 2 black or white or black red or blue?
I just bought an orange spice GameCube this week! A few Japanese games are in the mail. I plan on modding it to be region free and am considering sending it to these guys in the UK who do HDMI mods for GameCube.
Man I just love your channel, you explain everything so well and you just make it interesting!

I live in Japan and the last time I visited the U.S. I brought back an orange GameCube and was able to trade it for a ton of Sega Genesis and CD games. The trade worked out pretty well for both of us considering they're dirt cheap here.
I like seeing these different console colors and variants. They are very interesting to me.
Keep going with this. Great series.
I have both the black and gray GameCube
4:11 Hamm-eo haha I really enjoy all your vids, especially GameCube based. It remains to this day my favourite console although the Wii U is definitely pushing it hard!
I think this is the first video when you suggested another KZreadr I already know XD LukeMorse1 is a great channel. I really like the Orange GC, I always found most of the other colors kind of dull, I love how much it stands out. That said, im still praying for the day I come across a Gundam GC for a decent price.
I remember seeing one of these in a magazine back in the day, but could never find one. Now I know why. Looking forward to more of these.
I'm still thinking about getting one of these. I had a black and a now a silver one. I was able to score an orange controller when I was in Japan browsing the second hand book store though. Thanks for the video
Adam the new NX may be using cartridges..I would like to hear what you think
Hey Adam, you should do a video on the JVC X'eye! That would be awesome!
keep it up!! I love hearing about different console and even game variants to keep an eye out for.
I also had a Panasonic cube that played DVDs and GameCube games. That's the one I want the most to get again. In my city GameCubes go for twenty dollars at the pawn shops.
Great video Adam. Keep up the good work.
I like your console variant videos Adam. Keep em coming!
Adam, The group at BadAss Consoles have announced plans to release an adapter for the GameCube called the CGVideo Plug N Play. It basically goes into the Digital AV port (and I assume the Analog AV port) and allows you connect either a HDMI or the much more affordable Wii component cables into the device and allow you to output through those. It's essentially a cheaper alternative to official GameCube cables. What are your thoughts on that?
I have the orange and the Gundam (with all the box!)
Please do more of these videos! N64's!
I JUST bought an Orange Spice GameCube, modded for US games. Hoping to get a decent Digital AV to HDMI converter and mod it soon. And yeah, looking on FB Marketplace and other websites, GameCubes seem to be becoming more popular again, or at least their perceived value is increasing.
I had the platinum limited edition version, man I miss the GameCube days

Ronald G. so do i, it's 2017 & I'm just now seeing a orange rare gamecube.
Great video Adam! I had to look at the back of my platinum Gamecube and it has both ports. So glad that I also have the original box in good condition as well :D
Very cool, orange and gray were my high school colors. I just have the black GameCube, which is kinda boring. Keep the variant videos coming, they're great.
Do you have enough generic Gamecubes (meaning not the Panasonic one) to equate the current value of the component cables? I'd like to see that comparison side by side. Just a big fucking stack of those things next to a small cable. Since you mentioned modding, have you heard of the GCVideo project?
Did the US get the Resident Evil Version? I have the UK pal version and has the digital av port, on the box it says limited edition but they seem to be fairly common here in the UK.
I also have the silver Pokemon XD console that you mentioned.
Another great video Adam! I'm gonna get an orange GameCube now. Keep up the good work bud
I got my hands on a few of the NR reader gamecubes a few months back. Stripped the innards out of one of them and replaced them with standard gamecube guts just because I think the green of the NR readers is sweet.
I got the silver resi evil 4 cube here in uk. did you get that in usa? not much difference apart from the logo on pad and circle faceplate....and lovely artwork on box of console ...
I found an orange GC controller in the glass case at a thrift store - might have been left behind from a batch of GC stuff, asked if it was for sale, and found some controllers they had at the electronics rack for a price comparison and ended up getting it for $3. Definitely my favourite GC controller (even compared to the wavebirds) as the colour is just striking (it's in really good shape too). Would be cool to have an orange (or "spice") GC (especially for imports).

The orange and silver are the only 2 controllers I owned
Nice to know about the silver Gamecube. I bought a silver one last year to replace the one I had as a kid and it has both ports. :)
Off Topic: For a long long time I thought Adam use to say "I'll figure it out!" but only recently I actually payed attention and realised it was "figure it out!". Having that context is makes things so much clearer, I was always like wth why does he say that? xD
I have the spice orange GCN controller - it's my favorite, with the wavebird being a close second.
I imported my purple gamecube when it launched in japan like, immediately. I have since also acquired a pal launch one in black that has the digital av out, and a later silver pal model without it. I was aware of the orange one as the guy who imported mine and I got my games from had them when they came out there and it did look cool. Also got a japanese only spice orange GBA from him.
hey when i put random mini disk in to my gamecube , it don't spin is this ok?
Hey, what is your opinion on Star Fox Zero? I'm reading and hearing a lot of negative reviews on it.
I only have a ps4 and Pc and I was wondering what retro console I should get?(the ones before 7th gen)
If you put an NTSC disc drive in there, could you make it play American games, or not for some reason I don't currently know?
I cannot wait to see some of the Sega Genesis rare variants.
hay adam i have a question do you use a crt vga monitor like sony bmv a commercial crt tv or do you use a modern tv with an upscaler
I really like these videos Adam, keep it up! Do you have any rare variants of the Sega Dreamcast? I would like to see that in your next video. :)

weirdest thing about the GameCube has to be the handle. I mean how often do you carry a console? surely not often enough to warrant a bolted on carrying implement? mad. love it tho.

Another interesting variant of the GameCube is the first few batches that were made in Japan. Only the first few batches were made in Japan, I think in early 2002 production was moved to China.

The Spice Gamecube is my favorite! I just got one recently.
If i can secure replacement parts inexpensively enough (mainly screws and a couple buttons, then I would want to get one of these orange ones to match my flat orange controller, but I would need to get that controller fixed first. Btw, if anyone knows where I can order m5x1cm triwing™ screws in quantities of about 20 or so, please let me know. Smallest quantity I've found are 200, which is 10x more than I need to fix all my Nintendo items.
Could you do one about the GameBoy Advance SP Blue Edition?

Yes i already have a Gamecube compatible Wii. But im still so tempted to go buy a Gamecube. Originally I had the silver Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness special edition Gamecube. But then my sister took it when she moved out. So i bought a Wii at the time to keep playing my Gamecube collection.
hoping for one on the panasonic q as well man! love these
I was originally going to buy this with the game boy player, but fortunately I bought the Tales of Symphonia mint green GameCube with the game boy player instead. and for a good price :)
Love the GameCube I'm going for a full set. I have 10 variants so far. Not entirely sure how many models there are. I think it's 15.
In your latest playload you asked about Australian only games. Not that this is a game, but Australia is the only non-Japan country to get the purple Game Boy Player.

Is also a japan only Hoshin Tigers one (not sure on the name lol) it was white with red stripes all over it I think.
yo adam i picked up a gamecube (silver) but instead of a gamecube circle thing it had the lugia from the pokemon game on it
Ah the spice gamecube... I remember those. I always liked the console boxes for gamecube north American and Japanese. Got any?

i have a silver one with both ports...and the cable. was not aware it was of any rarity.
i picked up an orange gamecube plus matching gameboy player with disk in akihabara for about $30
The orange Gamecube is sexy af. Black, or grey consoles bore me out of my mind. The first thing I do when I buy a new console is to order custom skins. My Xbox One looks like an old VCR player with it's wood grain skin. It's amazing.
Dear Adam, please can you film in HD if you don't already.
please do more!
more of these!
I love my price orange gamecube. Don't like how it lacks the digital port but then again I dont use it at all. Svideo out to a projector looks pretty damn crystal clear. More so than component to a tv.
Adam, for this series, would you do another video on the Wii Mini? Or do you think that your original video was sufficient enough?

+ThatMediaGuy150 Suppose I could, hadn't really thought about it.
This was the colour I wanted back in the day. I got tired of waiting for an announcement, so I went for the silver one, bundled with Wind Waker and Ocarina. My console has the digital port but eh, it's a PAL model so I suppose it doesn't really make a difference. I've never seen the white one here. Some of the "limited edition" models were just the game logo on top of the system instead of the regular one. Not terribly exciting.
I just scored a free gamecube a month or so ago that was in terrible shape. The console was super dirty , couldn't read discs, and the buttons were all sticking, disc tray wouldn't even close. I fixed most of it by giving it a good clean but I had to increase laser power and re-cap the board for it to read discs but I picoboot mooded it and planned on using an SD card loader via. SP2 anyways. The buttons are in rough hsape and look like an animal gnawed on them. possibility since the console was in someones attic for about 10 years. I thought about reshelling it at somepoint. Kinda stinks the aftermarket consoles don't have some of the special colors like the tales of symphonia teal I'd totally go with a replica shell of that color but I like the orange spice too.
I personally love the Spice Orange Gamecube, I got the controller for Christmas around the Gamecube's launch here in Canada and was always drawn to it, as a kid I found it strange I never seen a matching console around. I've thought about importing one over the years just to swap the internals with a NTSC console, can't really justify the cost at this point though, I think I've waited too long.

Do a video on the Panasonic Q GameCube.
So the story that I heard at my retro gaming store is that they were going to release the orange space with Metroid prime 1, And it was going to be a special bundle that was only going to be available at Kmart. This deal fell through when Kmart went bankrupt and none of the other big chains picked it up. They had already made a surplus Of orange controllers, hence why you can still find them in the US.
the only 2 gamecubes I own are the silver with both ports on the back and a spice orange! Kinda lucky lol

Love the spice orange gamecube my favorite next to the gundam gamecube, I personally own spice orange,pearl white, resident evil 4 edition (which is silver) ,black , indigo and i have a custom blue one. But yeah seem to be creeping up in price now
hey adam do gamecube still sell that cheap in the states? greetings from mexico
2:01 funny story, so i bought a gamecube that ended up costing me $82.01 (system, cables, controller, memory card (64 MB), and game). It was a silver gamecube and i was lucky enough to get the early version with the digital AV out and the expansion port. So i feel lucky for getting that version
Would have been cool if there was a gold zelda themed cube. I rock the silver cube and just had a silver gameboy player imported from japan to keep it all matching.
Adam you have a gamecube addiction lol
I got the black GameCube for Christmas 2001 along with Luigi's Mansion. But in 2004 my fucking little brother pulled on the controller and caused it to fall to the floor which somehow fucked up the systems disc reader. Thankfully my older cousin had a silver one that he just gave to me cause he didn't really play it. Still have it today and it still works.
check`ed my silver gamecube that i got a few weeks ago. Got the digital av out. What luck!
that is a damn good looking console. looks like nickelodeon from the 90's orange
