10 most expensive GameCube games ever

Think your game collection might be worth some money? These are the most expensive singular GameCube games of all time.

The Nintendo GameCube is one of the best consoles ever made, but unfortunately, it didn’t play DVDs, so not many people are aware of that. If you were there at the time, playing the likes of Super Smash Bros. Melee and Sonic Adventure 2: Battle at the launch of the GameCube, you knew it was something special, and it really was, even if no one actually bought one after that point. 

Even now the GameCube is home to some incredible exclusive games. Fantastic JRPGs, platformers, adventures, fighters, and much more. In this list we’re not running down the best GameCube games, no, instead these are the most expensive GameCube games. If you ever see one of these games on sale for an affordable price, or you already have a mint copy in your collection, keep hold of it.

GameCube mistaken for a kitchen appliance in ‘Unpacking’

Ready to feel old? Unpacking fans don’t recognize the Nintendo GameCube.

Need a reminder of your frail mortal shell? Well, fellow olds, here it is: young folks don’t recognize the Nintendo GameCube in Unpacking.

Unpacking is an indie game about moving into a new home and arranging all your stuff in the appropriate places — dishes in the kitchen and toilet paper in bathrooms, that kind of thing. It’s a chill, zen-like puzzle game where failure isn’t really a thing for the most part. Though if an item isn’t in the correct location, you can’t progress.

Well, developer Witch Beam included a Nintendo GameCube among the many objects to sort through in Unpacking — and younger younger fans are getting stuck because they are struggling to identify the 20-year-old console. Wren Brier, an artist and designer on Unpacking, claims many youngins are reaching out about the GameCube. 

“We have gotten so many messages asking what it was,” Brier said via Polygon. “Very often, the screenshot they send us has the console in the kitchen as they thought it was an appliance of some kind.”

Take a look at Unpacking’s GameCube for yourself below.

Yup, this confirms it: recognizing the GameCube means you’re old. It’s all about the Nintendo Switch these days. If you can find one, that is. 

Unpacking takes place in the late 90s and early 2000s, so the inclusion of a GameCube makes sense. “The main character’s age is right in the middle between my age and my co-creator Tim Dawson’s age,” Brier said via Polygon. 

Put me in a retirement home, please. It’s the only place where these weary millenial eyes may gaze upon Resident Evil Remake  and Super Smash Bros. Melee  free of youthful judgment.
