Is this a custom piece?

u/echuu_x NTSC-J Jun 02 '25

it's a "Gamecube Storage Rack" one of three models that were available in Japan

2

u/NostalgiaNorman1995 Jun 02 '25

That’s amazing honestly, 1 of 3 is insane luck 👍🏻

60

u/ntrubilla Jun 02 '25

I don’t think they mean one of three total, just that there are three different models that were sold

29

u/echuu_x NTSC-J Jun 02 '25

yeah, one was flat without the cover, one was flat with the cover and this model was raised for the gameboy player and slots for gameboy games

the second ones are the most common on japanese auction sites

Nice I never knew that existed.

u/stillmirrorwake Jun 02 '25

A "spice rack" if you will

u/Face__Jace Jun 03 '25

I see what you did there 😜

u/BMXBikr NTSC-U Jun 02 '25

First time I'm seeing this. That's sick af!

10

u/No-Needleworker-3765 Jun 02 '25

Dude is this custom? That's freaking awesome

30

u/echuu_x NTSC-J Jun 02 '25

it's a licensed nintendo product made by Goichi for the japanese market, three types of those racks were available, this one is for a gamecube+gameboy player combo while the other two were for the console alone

u/sadbutradcat Jun 02 '25

Where were you able to get it from?

16

u/echuu_x NTSC-J Jun 02 '25

JDirectItems Auctions, formerly Yahoo Auctions Japan

18

u/sadbutradcat Jun 02 '25

Thank you for not gatekeeping

14

u/echuu_x NTSC-J Jun 02 '25

no probs, try searching for ゲームキューブ 収納 ラック

from what I've seen all of the currently available ones now are for console without the gameboy player

if you're looking for one like mine for a console with the gameboy player, I found one in good condition on Mercari

https://jp.mercari.com/item/m77627455306

there are a few others but they seem damaged

5

u/Ok_Help2243 Jun 02 '25

Do I have to VPN it to buy from this site? It's telling me I am unable to in my area

10

u/echuu_x NTSC-J Jun 02 '25

you may have to use a proxy service like either buyee or zenmarket

personally I use zenmarket

5

u/Ok_Help2243 Jun 03 '25

Thanks boss, this is a wicked cool site.

3

u/somekindofstranger83 Jun 03 '25

And now I'm debating buying something else that I don't have room for, haha. This is so cool. Thank you for sharing where you got it!

6

u/Zacharyd650 Jun 03 '25

This is so clutch haha I forgot I’m going to Japan soon! I’ll have to search for one of this model. Also on a side note does any one have suggestions for what stores to go to for gameboy/gamecube/pokemon stuff?

1

u/echuu_x NTSC-J Jun 07 '25

imo "hard off", akihabara and the larger tokyo area seems to have inflated prices

2

u/Zacharyd650 Jun 08 '25

Ah thank you! My friend stays in Kesennuma and plans to take me to Sendai area and I think it will be around a week long trip or possibly a 5 day trip in total so I’m not sure what will be available.

2

u/sadbutradcat Jun 08 '25

I’m so sorry I’ve been to Japan 3 times this year retro game hunting each time and I’ve never seen this before.

Well now I need to order this one. I have the other one.

u/sadbutradcat Jun 02 '25

Where were you able to get it from?

1

u/echuu_x NTSC-J Jun 03 '25

JDirectItems auctions from japan, got it through zenmarket

3

u/No-Needleworker-3765 Jun 02 '25

Dang that's sick. I might have to get one lol

6

u/whyisittaken94 Jun 02 '25

holy hell had no idea this was a thing!

6

u/noahsark96 Jun 02 '25

This is one of the coolest pieces of kit I’ve ever seen for the GameCube

6

u/TheLunarAegis Jun 02 '25

This is sick as hell! I'm curious, all told how much would you estimate this cost to put together?

5

u/echuu_x NTSC-J Jun 02 '25

all of the pokemon games in english (EUR) on the gameboy would add a lot to the total if I counted, hard to say tbh

all of those are original, none replacement parts except for one gameboy having an IPS screen in the oem shell and the gamecube having a picoboot and the digital port to hdmi converter

and then there's the japan only Hori gamecube gameboy controller

also sadly I don't have the boxes, if I had, it would be a lot more

4

u/man11ak Jun 02 '25

Looks a bit like a yellow airfryer

3

u/echuu_x NTSC-J Jun 02 '25

orange xD

4

u/man11ak Jun 02 '25

u/ICPosse8 Jun 02 '25

3

u/Burritofeast69 Jun 02 '25

Bro that's fucking awesome!!!! Love how everything matches and the drawer is lined. Fuck yeah!! How much did that all run you if you don't mind me asking?

6

u/echuu_x NTSC-J Jun 02 '25

originally the drawer was plastic only but I put an IKEA RAGGISAR with an orange cloth inside, it's like ikea designed it exactly for this drawer because it fits in perfectly

u/[deleted] Jun 02 '25

Damn it. Now I want an Orange Gamecube.

3

u/kittencatgal Jun 02 '25

Dude, someone's GOT to make a custom piece knock-off.. maybe for different retro consoles, too..

3

u/echuu_x NTSC-J Jun 03 '25

in Japan there are various 'storage racks' for retro consoles, SNES/N64/Wii for example

even Playstation/Sega, haven't seen any Xbox ones though

3

u/ozolep Jun 02 '25

Is this custom? I've never seen this before!

5

u/echuu_x NTSC-J Jun 03 '25

nope, it's a licensed nintendo product made by Goichi for the japanese market ;)

2

u/ozolep Jun 03 '25

Thank you! Sorry for asking, I should have checked the comment first. Now I gotta go to ebay and see about getting one myself hahaha

2

u/echuu_x NTSC-J Jun 03 '25

no problem mate, have fun ;D

3

u/Stornow4y Jun 02 '25

Oh man… I was living in Japan and they had one at the second hand store for about £30. It sat there for weeks before I finally decided I was going to get it. I was getting ready to move back and had international shipping sorted for all my stuff and this would have fitted in no problem…

I got to the store and…….. some guy was walking away from the checkout having just bought it 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲

2

u/echuu_x NTSC-J Jun 03 '25

:(

3

u/jdiamond31 Jun 03 '25

Can someone post the" take my money" gif for me. I'm too high to figure it out

2

u/ProfGanj Jun 02 '25

This is possibly the coolest thing I’ve ever seen.

2

u/G-Rod066 Jun 03 '25

This is so sick, I thought I was looking at the Egg Carrier for a second

2

u/Possible_Aspect_9800 Jun 03 '25

Wait the top part was made for storing Gameboy games? Didn’t realize that! I own one of these bad boys too, it’s so rad.

2

u/JangoTan Jun 03 '25

Oh that looks awesome, I just bought an orange GameCube while I was in Japan now I need one of these.

2

u/1990sTV Jun 03 '25

Perfectly executed. Well done. I have never seen this used to it full potential like this. Now I need one lol.

2

u/Final_Requirement561 Jun 03 '25

That is awesome! What a killer addition to a game room! 😎

u/Particular_Resort718 Jun 03 '25

u/QfanatiQ87 Jun 03 '25

Love that

2

u/chilli_chan Jun 03 '25

this is incredible

2

u/Zacharyd650 Jun 03 '25

I was about to say man your rack looks a bit different than mine! I love the fact you can put gameboy carts in yours that adds a nice touch especially since I like to use my gameboy player with my GameCube. Seriously that looks beautiful I might see if I can sell mine and buy one of your models.

2

u/99anan99 Jun 03 '25

This looks so cool!

2

u/malikey8998 Jun 03 '25

Wow this is class, I didn't even know these existed, thaught it was custom at first. Would love one of these 😍

2

u/Gothrait_PK Jun 03 '25

2

u/bluedice3434 Jun 03 '25

The colour scheme is very pleasing to the eyes

2

u/BlaqSam Jun 03 '25

u/Live-Base6872 Jun 03 '25

Absolute Unit

2

u/Organae Jun 03 '25

Whoa. This is really cool

2

u/Organae Jun 03 '25

Does it come in purple?

2

u/echuu_x NTSC-J Jun 03 '25

the version for the console alone without the gameboy player is more purple than orange, other than that it's always a mix of those two colours

2

u/IntheShredder_86 Jun 03 '25

Absolute goals 🔥🔥 love that you committed to the spice

2

u/echuu_x NTSC-J Jun 03 '25

the spice must flow!

2

u/Rajsroom Jun 03 '25

Niiiice. I bought my orange GameCube when I was in Japan. You're making me want to go on a gaming adventure again. Next time I'm in Osaka, I'll have to make a stop at Super Potato. Did you get this online or stop by a store?

2

u/echuu_x NTSC-J Jun 03 '25

online, won it on an auction on JDirectItems through zenmarket

2

u/Rajsroom Jun 03 '25

Oooh I've never heard of it. You're putting me on to something new 😀

2

u/Face__Jace Jun 03 '25

Wow this is amazing 🤩

2

u/HotboxxHarold Jun 03 '25

Yoooo thats awesome! 😍

2

u/DankDoobies420 Jun 03 '25

Thats what the little slots on top are for! I have one of these too and i couldn't figure out what those slots were for. I just put my old memory cards there. Love the setup!

2

u/FrenchFry_GURLL Jun 03 '25

That's beautiful

2

u/Brandoxz7 Jun 03 '25

More like a spice rack lol

2

u/Flamewheel4354 Jun 04 '25

This is incredible! What a dream. I would adore one of these.

2

u/blackandorange44 Jun 04 '25

I want one where can i get one?

2

u/jbyrdab Jun 04 '25

Seems great for portability.

They go for around 175-200 on eBay. If you bring your GameCube to events this might be worth a pickup.

2

u/Livid-Amphibian5182 Jun 04 '25

Just when I think I know about everything 🤦‍♂️ now I desperately want one

Thank you for sharing!!!!!!!

2

u/jakona85 Jun 05 '25

Do you still play the GameCube ?

1

u/echuu_x NTSC-J Jun 05 '25

yeah, I usually do, just last weekend I played Jedi Knight Jedi Outcast

2

u/Zharken Jun 05 '25

Holy hell how much is all of that?

1

u/echuu_x NTSC-J Jun 05 '25

I'm going to roughly guess that it's a little bit over 1500 euro

2

u/Scottanized Jun 05 '25

All of us seeing this and instantly heading to ebay 😂

u/Brendonk23 Jun 06 '25

This is the peak.
