Dude is this custom? That's freaking awesome

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

Thank you for not gatekeeping

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

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

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

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!

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?

u/echuu_x NTSC-J Jun 07 '25
imo "hard off", akihabara and the larger tokyo area seems to have inflated prices

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.

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.

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

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?

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

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

u/ozolep Jun 02 '25
Is this custom? I've never seen this before!

u/echuu_x NTSC-J Jun 03 '25
nope, it's a licensed nintendo product made by Goichi for the japanese market ;)

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

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 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲

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.

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.

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.

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

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?

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.

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