The Nintendo GameCube, nearing its 25th anniversary, boasts a dedicated fanbase eager to acquire rare variants. Among the most sought-after are the DVD-playing Panasonic Q and numerous themed consoles like the Mobile Suit Gundam Char Red edition. However, the pinnacle of rarity might be the Space World GameCube prototype.
Initially believed lost to time, this LED-equipped prototype, unearthed in 2023 by Donny Fillerup of ConsoleVariations, has recently resurfaced. Key distinctions from the retail model include the absence of internal hardware (save for LEDs simulating operation), a semi-transparent top logo revealing the disc, and modified vents. ConsoleVariations documents over 20 total differences from the original Japanese GameCube.
This isn't Fillerup's first foray into high-value console sales; in 2022, he sold a Golden Wii (once a gift to the British Royal Family) for $36,000. While the $100,000 asking price for the Space World GameCube is substantial, it's not unreasonable given its historical significance. Fillerup is open to offers, suggesting a potential sale below the listed price. For the right buyer with deep pockets, this unique piece of gaming history could soon find a new home.
